Product Description The Sole Fitness F80 folding treadmill is equipped with cooling fans, a 6-window LED display, convenient speed/elevation controls in the handles and a high-output 3.0 continuous duty HP motor. Its 6 standard, 2 user-defined and 2 heart rate programs provide all of the options you need to reach your fitness goals.
Amazon.com Product Description Updated with enhanced features for 2009, the Sole F80 treadmill has earned a reputation as one of the best-quality treadmills in its price range thanks to its unbeatable combination of high-quality components and user-friendliness. The treadmill boasts a strong 3.0-horsepower, continuous-duty motor, which delivers challenging speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and inclines of up to 15 percent. At the same time, the F80's Cushion Flex Whisper Deck is built to protect your joints from excessive pounding, with the ability to reduce impact up to 40 percent compared to running on asphalt. And when you're not using the treadmill, it folds into a compact footprint and locks securely in place, thereby saving a ton of storage space. The F80 is equipped with a host of user-friendly features, including six preset workout programs, two customizable programs, and two heart rate programs, along with a red display that tracks your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace. There's even a 1/4-mile digital track that you can follow as you run and a peak-and-valley graph that corresponds to individual programs. Other details include a large stop switch for safety; a low-profile running hood; armrest cooling fans; speed and incline controls on the armrests; a wireless chest strap that measures your heart rate; and a 20-by-55-inch running deck. The F80 treadmill, which offers a user capacity of up to 335 pounds, carries the following warranties: lifetime on the motor, deck, and frame; five years on the electronics, belt, and rollers; and two years on the labor.

Manufacturer's Warranty Motor - lifetime, deck - lifetime, frame - lifetime, electronics/wear items - 5 years, labor - 2 years About Treadmills Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home. From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface. While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain. About Sole Sole brings over twenty years of treadmill and fitness product design and manufacturing to the table in their line of innovative equipment designed for fitness-conscious people. The company's treadmill line is simple in design, with an emphasis on quality and warranty all at a great price. Sole's easy-to-use treadmills offer a great value and feature a convenient, space-saving portable design. The treadmills have a very stable base with four wheels for ease of movement, folding decks to conserve space, and a 30-year motor and lifetime deck and frame warranty. Sole is always looking for ways to make their equipment better, more efficient, with higher quality at a great price.

My F-80 Experience December 20, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm writing this review here because this is the site that helped me decide to buy this peice of junk. It seemed at the time, there was a lot of great reviews for this treadmill, and I really researched well I felt. The treadmills best feature is that it has a nice look to it. It does look nice in my den.
When I first set it up and started using it, it had an annoying whistle sound. I called the service department and requested some help, and a rep called me back explaining that my problem was common, and tried to confuse me with all kinds of technical treadmill jargon. He basicly told me it will go away after a few weeks. The whistle never went away to this day, and I have just learned to ignore it as I listen to music when I use the machine anyway. I was too annoyed to call back for help on it. This was the least of my problems with this machine though...
After 11 months of use, the machine now has a loud sound from the tail end of the machine, and sounds like something is loose. It's so loud, that I can't even use it now, for I fear something else may get damaged. I called the service deptartment again, and they are so cheap, they send me an email of steps on how to adjust some bolts on the deck. The rep, whose name was Travis Lawrence, seemed to be sure this was the problem. Of course after I did this, the loud noise is still there. I called back and asked to have a technician get sent out and do any further work on it. So now the rep emails me and says he fed exed a new deck and roller and it will arrive next week, and a service company will contact me in 2-7 days. After I waited a week, I emailed back, and told him no parts showed up and no one called from a service company. He then emails me back saying the parts were ordered the week they were suppose to arrive, and now they will arrive the following week, and a service comapny will call me after the holidays, the second week of Jan 09!!
This is unacceptable, and I bought this peice of junk due to their great warranty offer, but I wish I would of knew how crappy the warranty service would be! By the way, I hope Amazon leaves this review here, it is a true and real experience from a real person, and every buyer should be allowed to hear my experience before they buy from Sole! I'm going to make sure I tell everyone I noww to stay clear from this company.
Awesome! November 3, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I love this machine. It has a great warranty and my family uses it daily. We were so lucky to order in time to get the new 2009 model. The addition of an accessory rack and changes in the console make it well worth the buy.
