What buyers say?

What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—motor performance—directly aligns with video reviewers' finding that the 3.0 HP motor is insufficient for daily heavy running or multiple users.
In their words
“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.”
CincyKid · verified purchase · dickssportinggoods.com
“Purchased 6/22 to replace a F80 which served us well for over 14 years although we had to replace 3 motors that failed. I weight 155 lbs and wife around 100 and we both use twice daily. The F63 in first six months had a defective belt and then defective on/off switch. Motor made high whining sound and we replaced 4/24.”

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is the F63 good for walking and jogging?
Reviewers say it is sturdy and reliable for walking and light jogging. The 3.0 horsepower motor and 60-inch belt are suited to moderate use, but the motor is not sized for heavy daily running or multiple users.
What is the main downside of the F63?
The motor is the limiting factor—it handles walking and light jogging well but not intense or high-mileage training. Reviewers also note the built-in fans provide almost no airflow and the display is basic without touchscreen or smart features.
Who should buy the F63?
Walkers and light joggers who want a durable folding treadmill with strong weight capacity and easy storage. It is not a good fit for heavy runners, multi-user households, or anyone needing daily high-mileage training.
Is the F63 easy to move and store?
Yes. The hydraulic-assisted folding mechanism and four wheels make it simple to move and store. Reviewers are split on whether assembly is easier alone or with two people, so it may depend on your comfort level.
