Sole F83 Treadmill

Pros: Long belt; good warranty; well made; quiet.
Cons: No need to spend the extra $300 in my opinion on this model.

I reviewed the F 80 Treadmill by Sole. A reader saw the F83 but not the F80 and wondered if there were enough differences to justify spending a few hundred more dollars on the F83. Here is my review and my ...

Pros: The LED screen, heart rate monitor, comfortable, smooth.
Cons: May be to large for some homes, expensive.

After nearly 11 years in a city that had barely any gyms that had any type babysitting services, where you wouldn’t have to mortgage your house, we have now had three of them open up literally within a mile of my house. Three really reasonably ...

Pros: Extremely high quality, steady, and strong. Nice features.
Cons: Pulse handles too low for 6'4''. Adjusting some custom settings.

In Tim Hawkin's comedy song "Things You Don't Say to your Wife" comes the line, "Happy Anniversary, I bought you a treadmill!” A treadmill could be considered by many to be an insulting gift for your wife. Many would say that it would be the worse ...

Pros: Very good quality and long warranty. Service help pretty good.
Cons: Wireless heart rate monitor, handles for heart rate monitoring are slow to adjust.

OUR NEEDS: We are a family of 5 and needed a treadmill that could stand up to a lot of use and different needs. My wife walks a lot outside but during bad weather wanted to walk inside. Our boys play video games too much and I pretty much sit a ...

Pros: 3 hp motor, 15% incline, a very stable and quiet machine for the money.
Cons: Cant think of any cons at this point. I just love this machine.

This is my favorite treadmill this year, the Sole F83 Treadmill. For the price, under $2,000, there isn’t a better treadmill available. The Sole F83 has many features normally seen on higher priced treadmills. When I was researching Treadmills, I ...

Pros: Decent treadmill when working...
Cons: Horrible customer service, complete incompetence.

Hello,

After reading reviews of Sole treadmills, I decided to purchase an F83. All was well until the treadmill's deck cracked just over 2 years after buying it. The technicians sent a new deck, then had to send a new belt, then new spacers. The third party installation guys came out and determined that Sole had sent the wrong deck. They ordered a new deck and assured me that it would be the correct deck. They then sent out the exact same deck again! The technician came back out and informed me of this.

So, after 1 1/2 months without a working treadmill, 2 wrong decks, a new belt, and new spacers, I still have a non-functional treadmill sitting in my living room. The customer service rep told me that he would contact me later in the day, and the issue has not been resolved!! Worst consumer experience of my entire life; just complete incompetence!! Had I known about Sole's inefficiencies, I never would have bought their treadmill.
