Rec’d with hidden damage, console cracked on both sides in same location, (could be a refab. claimed new) Called Amazon they past the buck to Sole. Stayed on hold for ever with Sole then got passed around like the school slut. A Rep from Sole was to call, a week later no contact. Here we go again……were is my K-Y. I like the treadmill just buy it local.

I’ve had mine for about a week now and I love it. It’s very study and well built. Unlike other reviews, I find the fans more than adequate.
Sole’s customer service is excellent. The foam rubber padding on one of the arms got ripped in shipped. I email their support about it. They called me right up, got my info, and sent a new one right out. I replaced the damaged one, and now it’s good as new.

I did quite a bit of shopping before this purchase. I think the F85 is a best value machine. I liked buying from Amazon for taxes and no shipping costs. I also got a few dollars off the price. The thing is very heavy. Wish I had exercised a week or so before helping the delivery guy get it in the house. But overall that also went well. I had one out of box issue and have seen the same issue one time since. It has to do with the magnetic sensor that relays information on speed to the controller. I fixed this by following troubleshooting but if it fails again, I am checking out the warrantee service. The machine runs well and is medium quiet. The strain damping deck makes a little more noise than I would like on heavy footsteps. I agree with other comments that the fans and speakers are not worth much. I really like the displays and programs. Who the heck would run 12 mph on one of those things. I would be straight through the back wall in the yard if it went that fast with me on it.

I hate to work out and purchased this treadmill hoping it would slowly help me to get more ambitious and I absolutely love it. It has great cushioning and I am not a small gal. It is quiet so I am able to watch TV as I workout or read a book. This treadmill has gotten my whole family up and moving!

I run 25-40 miles a week and have run several marathons. Living in Seattle, I struggle with training in the winter when it is dark and rainy and with a 2-year old son I find the only time I want to run is when he is sleeping. That being said, I decided to pull the trigger on a treadmill that was sturdy enough for running yet didnt break the bank (like a landice). I settled on the sole F85 after months of research and now that I have used it for 4 months I feel qualified to write a review…
First of all the thing weighs a ton (300 lbs actually) so it is worth the extra money to have it moved unless you have at least 3 strong (adult males- no offense) movers to help you. That being said, once it is set up it feels like a tank. This is a high-quality treadmill that feels every bit as sturdy as any of the treadmills I have used in a gym. It is moderately difficult to put together but not impossible and took about 45 minutes.
The ride on the deck is perfect. Not to hard and not to soft or bouncy. The controls on the arms are a must if you plan to change your speed frequently (such as when using the heart rate monitor function and included chest strap which I found to be moderately accurate. The console is great and so far I havent had any problems with the electronics as is described in some of the negative reviews.
Overall the motor, the warranty, the overall quality of this machine is top notch. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the weak little fan! Like other reviewers, it would be so easy with such a big motor on the rollers to just plug it in to make it a decent fan! Such a small thing but had to mention it and it is the ONLY thing wrong so far.
Happy running
