The Sole F85 Treadmill is the top of the line from Sole for the folding category. The machine has a beautiful design and comes with a fabulous 3.5 CHP motor. Beside the fact that it comes with a monster motor this model is very quiet.

The Sole F85 Treadmill features six preset workouts and his console has also 2 built in fans that will cool you down during training. The warranty is remarkable and Sole offers also 2 years labor for this model.

The Hilton Hotels bought this model for their gyms. I think this say enough about this treadmill quality.

Conclusion for Sole F85 Treadmill review

The Sole F85 Treadmill review is a heavy machine and will be delivered in a big box. The assembling is not so hard and 2 persons should finish it in 45 minutes. Try to assemble this machine in the designated place and don’t plan to move it very often. Also we advise you to opt for inside delivery option.

This model is a folding one but don’t expect to store it under the bed. The machine is pretty big and folding will not reduce his dimensions very much.

The F85 model features a super 3.5 CHP with a Ultra High Torque. This motor will keep up with a any type of user. So no matter if you are a walker or a runner this treadmill will function as expected during the whole training session.

What we like is the fact that you have the controls for speed and incline on siderails. These controls are very useful especially if you are doing running workouts.

There are not many bad things we can say about this model. All the core parts & features works great and you will not hear complains. The warranty is an impressive one: You have a lifetime one for motor, frame and deck and in plus you get 2 years for labor.

Two things that we don’t appreciate: the sound system doesn’t sound so good and the built in fans are not powerful and can be noisy. None of this is a deal breaker.

In the end we think that the Sole F85 Treadmill is one of the top machines for middle class. We don’t think you will find many treadmills that will compete with him and have a price of $2000.
