The Sole F85 treadmill features six preset workouts and the console includes also 2 built in fans to cool you down during training. The warranty is remarkable (we want to highlight that Sole offers 2 years labor for this model).
The Hilton Hotels bought this model for their gyms. I think this says enough about this treadmill quality.

Conclusions For Sole F85 Treadmill Review
The Sole F85 treadmill is a heavy machine and it will be delivered in a big box. The assembling procedure 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 its dimensions very much.
The F85 model features a super 3.5 CHP with a Ultra High Torque. This motor will keep up with any type of users. So no matter if you are a walker or a runner this treadmill will function as expected for the entire 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 complaints from other users. The warranty is impressive: you get lifetime for motor, frame and deck and plus 2 years for labor.
Two things that we don’t appreciate are: the sound system which doesn’t sound so good and the built in fans that are not powerful and can get pretty noisy. Still none of these is a deal breaker.
In conclusion we consider Sole F85 treadmill to be one of the top machines for middle class. We don’t think you will find many treadmills that can compete with this product at a $2000 price.
