I am use to running in commercial treadmills at the gym. This treadmill is as good or better. Very quiet motor and provides excellent cushioning. Highly recommended for running since provides excellent stability.

I bought this Sole F85 to replace my old Nordic Track of 12 years old. Overall, Sole F85 is strong, quiet treadmill. I use manual all the times, hardly use those programs. So far, running experience is overall good, but the belt surface is not as cusioned as Nordic Track treadmill. But I do not have any problems to adjust myself. Been using it for 1 month now. Everything goes well. Delivery and assembly from Sears is good.

I have no idea whether this is a good product or not. First was delivered and made a clunk clunk clunk sound. Repair people never showed up. Have now requested a replacement. Delivery people have never showed up. Still waiting. Do not buy from Sears.

I dont write reviews.  However this is a great treadmill.  Very good,sturdy and solid built.  My only complaint was with Sears delivery.  Be careful, they did not assemble treadmill correctly, forgot screws, broke a piece.  We had to call back several times to resolve and finally received another treadmill.  Delivery people are rushed to move onto second job and skip steps on assembly process.  Overall felt Sears was very unresponsive to resolving the problem.

I bought this treadmill over two years ago and it has not let me down yet! I have ran on it at least 5x times a week and I have not had one issue yet with it! The included accessories work well and the speakers on it are actually a LOT better than I thought they would be! I just wish they went a little louder than they do, but I use headphones anyways so that doesn't matter to me. I am not sure about other reviewers' saying the auto-off function does not work...it always has for me and usually turns off after about 15 minutes. I can't tell you how "hard" the surface is as this is my first treadmill and I do not have another comparison for you, but it is softer than running on a street! So there. I love this treadmill. I love the fans and I love how much space I have on the treadmill itself. (I have NEVER felt like I was going to fall off the back, that's ridiculous.) Most commercial treadmills that I've seen are either the same size OR 2 inches longer. But hey, a commercial treadmill will cost you $5,000 from what I've seen, so have fun with that. Overall a great buy that I don't regret once.

Let me make a suggestion, especially if you are a runner. Try it before you buy it. Machine stopped working after using twice. Running surface is harder than any other treadmill I have ever tried. Even with the 60inch deck I always felt like I was goin to fall off the back. Questionable electronics and fans are useless.

I have done extensive research and found the Sole treadmills to be superior over every other brand in the $1000-$2000 price range. However, I learned that when in manual mode the F80 beeps every 60 seconds to let you know you've accomplished another minute. Must be the worst feature ever. I am trying to figure out if Sole had the wonderful sense to make all of their treadmills have this wonderful feature because I tried out an F63 and it did not beep. Can anyone tell me if the F85 beeps in manual mode every 60 seconds?

So far I have been very happy with the purchase of this treadmill. The delivery crew was efficient and polite and  took all of the packaging with them.

I am very happy with the treadmill as a whole. I am finding however that I don't use the programmed workouts as much as I thought I would because they start you out at a painfully slow .5 mph and I can't imagine the need to start out that slow. Once I get past those first couple of minutes its great.

Week one of the Sole F85, and so far so good.  I chose the Sole over the Nordictrac 1750 because the Nordictrac appeared to be of lessor quality for the same money, the deck on the 1750 was too soft for my liking, and the Sole seemed more sturdy.  I has been, so far.

I've worked out on many treadmills at many gyms before, but this machine is of near-gym quality. It's very sturdy (and oh so heavy to move), but doesnt seem to move around (I am 250 lbs and not easy on treadmills).

The different workout functions I dont use much, but they seem a bit convoluted to program.

I would buy this machine again but I hope we dont have to move it too many times.

This was great the first time i used it i was impressed, i ended up loosing 135 lbs with this machine, (over a 1yr span) all you need is a little motivation and your set! havent had one problem yet.
