mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Full steel frame construction with 325-pound weight capacity exceeds many competitors
  • Hydraulic-assisted folding mechanism with four wheels makes moving and storage easy
  • 60-inch belt length and two-ply belt provide good running surface for the class
Reviewers push back
  • 3.0 horsepower motor suits walking and light jogging but not daily heavy running or multiple users
  • Built-in fans produce negligible airflow and reviewers recommend external fans
  • Basic 6.5-inch backlit display lacks touchscreen or smart features

Leaving this "First Impressions" review, because there is little to no information out in the wild about Sole's new lineup (not even on Sole's website). I've received (Dick's room of choice service), personally assembled and have just a half dozen longer runs logged on it. This unit replaces a Sole F63 that I had and enjoyed for 13 years.
