Sole Treadmills

Postby eme » Wed Aug 20, 2014 2:00 pm

I am thinking of buying this one http://www.sears.ca/product/sole8482-f63-30-chp-treadmill/606-000258137-16810363

The online reviews seem good.

Thoughts? Feedback from anyone who owns a Sole treadmill?

Thanks :D

I own a Sole elliptical. It is good. Three years old and no difficulties.

But the technician who came to work on my old treadmill said that Sole doesn't do very well on the warranty end of the deal.

So, they have a warranty but don't really honour it?

They hassled the technician about parts. It all worked out but was a great deal of time and trouble.

I have an F65. It's been beaten and pounded, used and abused. It even took a pretty nasty static shock and kept on ticking (more or less, the built-in fans no longer work and the buttons on the arm rests no longer work). Never had any run-ins with technical service, so I can't comment there.

That being said, I'm now starting to look at replacing it, since it's starting to fall apart (10 years later).
Plan for 2017:
END-SURE 25k...done! 2:30:23
Spruce Woods Ultra volunteering...done!
Kettle Moraine 100
Western States 100 crewing
Falcon Fatass 50k
Superior 100
