F85 SOLE Treadmill Review
The F85 is SOLE’s top seller in its folding treadmill series. It features the largest deck and most powerful motor out of the lineup. This machine is durable and able to handle users up to 400 lbs. Not many treadmills can make that claim. Besides being powerful, the F85 has comfort in mind; featuring a 2-Ply track and Cushion Flex Whisper Deck which has been shown to reduce impact up to 40%. While the display is limited and basic the mechanics are built to last. The lifetime warranty for the motor, deck and frame and 5 year warranty for electronics makes this machine well worth it’s price.

The only other drawback I can find is possibly the size of the machine. It does have a spacious running surface which is great during the workout but may be hard to squeeze into your living quarters. It totals just about 7 feet long. However it does fold up which could potentially save it from rejection and the easy assist unfolding feature keeps everyone safe.
Pros:
- Folds and effortlessly unfolds itself
- Handle controls for easy speed & incline adjustment
- Noticeably Quieter
- Warranty
Cons:
- Limited Programs
- Limited Entertainment
- Size – 7 Feet Long
