Sole F63 Treadmill - Reviews Summary

Now that you've learned the basics, let's check out some of the pros and cons for this Sole treadmill, as shared by consumers and fitness experts.

Positives . . .

As with other Sole Treadmills, users have far more positive than negative things to say about the Sole F63.

Consumers love the display. It's LCD, blue, and backlit, which contributes toward easy reading of the workout information on the message window. You could read the display clearly in a darkened room--a nice benefit if you intend to exercise in the morning and don't want to switch on lights.

Speaking of the display: it tracks your speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace. This wealth of data will help you get the most out of your cardio exercise sessions.

Users particularly appreciate the speed and incline controls built into the hand rails. This is one of those little but useful consumer-friendly details that distinguish this machine from others in its price range. You can lengthen your stride a bit without worrying about reaching the main console to make adjustments.

Worried about noise levels? The Sole F63 Treadmill runs quiet--a clear indication of superior engineering and quality components. At running speeds as high as 9 mph, users report having no issues hearing a nearby television.

Consumers praise the sturdy design of this treadmill. It's built solid, weighing in at 245 pounds. This weight contributes toward a secure feel as you're walking or running.

Drawbacks . . .

Even with the highest quality exercise equipment, there are bound to be a few criticisms. The Sole F63 Treadmill is no exception, but fortunately, there are no real deal-breakers here.

Mobility--or lack thereof--has been cited by consumers as an issue. Although the machine folds easily, it lacks wheels on the bottom that would help one maneuver it across the room.

But would you really want to regularly move around something this heavy? It's a good idea to keep the machine in a dedicated space.

Some users also experienced problems with assembly. You have to insert some of the screws into deep, blind holes, and this may prove challenging. As a tip: consider getting assistance from a friend handy with tools and product assembly.
