Sole S77 Treadmill Review

The Sole S77 Treadmill is noted to have the largest motor in a treadmill under $2000. This distinction along with several other key features allows the S77 treadmill to deliver health club features at a home gym price point. In addition to the motor, the S77 offers the longest running surface that sole makes (60 inches) add to that heart rate monitor control for optimized workouts in your target training zone, a generous maximum user weight capacity of 400 lbs., an excellent warranty and you can see that the Sole S77 treadmill is clearly a winner in the value and quality it offers.

Better than my previous one

Much better than my previous one, a Phoenix. The pricing and design is good but the audio could have been better. Very heavy though.
Terrible Shipping Service

Reviewer: Cait_25,
I ordered this treadmill with the scheduled delivery option. I was supposed to receive my treadmill on Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. When the treadmill had still not arrived by 3:30, I called the shipment company that amazon used, CEVA. To my dismay, the treadmill had not even made it to their hub yet. I was not notified by the company in any way, and only by calling 3 different numbers did I discover that the treadmill would probably not arrive until Monday or Tuesday. Amazon is such a huge company. They should use a more reliable shipping service if they are going to promise scheduled delivery.
Great Value!

I'm an Amazon.com review reading addict. Even if I'm looking for a product which I don't intend to purchase on amazon, I'll spend hours (the higher the price, the more hours) perusing reviews and finding something that meets my needs. My search for a treadmill began in mid-November of 2009. I waffled for about a month (should I buy a treadmill? maybe I'll just continue my gym membership... what if it breaks down? do I really have room for it? no, I want a treadmill... you get the idea) and finally, in the spirit of the upcoming new year's resolution, after countless hours of reading about treadmills (more than I care to admit) I decided on this model. Plus, I reasoned with myself that if I made the investment and forked out the nearly $2,000 on a treadmill that I'd guilt myself into running, even if I didn't want to. So far, so good. :)

Why this one? Well, it was a little pricier than I intended to pay at first, but I'm glad I did. This is a high quality treadmill. I've been running on it for the past five months and it feels like the first day I ran on it. I'm impressed with the warranty (the lifetime guarantee on the motor can't be beat) and the overall solid construction of the unit. Yes, when it's shipped, the box it's in looks like it had been through WWIII, but the treadmill was in pristine condition. It was easy to set up - I take that back... it was easy for my husband to set up. I was busy watching Oprah. :) He had it up and running in a matter of an hour with little to no help from me.

Since then I've started training for the Chicago marathon and this treadmill is one of my favorite training partners. I've been on it on average for about an hour 5-6 days a week and have had no issues. As for the fans... I'm a sweater. No, not a finely knit top... a person who sweats profusely with even the smallest amount of exertion. Shockingly, the two small fans, though tiny and rather week, have been more than adequate to keep me cool.

I could go on and on about this treadmill but I'll stop here. If you're looking for a quality treadmill to run on with any frequency, I wouldn't recommend looking at treadmills at price points below this one. If you're not looking to spend a fortune but want something to last you at least a few years and you realize how much of a waste fancy screens and training programs are, you've found what you're looking for.
Great Quality

Reviewer: S. Suter,
I was skeptical to purchase a treadmill without seeeing it first. I was really impressed with it. It is solid and very sturdy. My husband is 260 lbs and loves this unit. It is just like the ones at the gym. You will not be sorry if you purchase this treadmill.
Better than Expected
 
Review Date: March 2, 2010
Reviewer: L. Smith, Baltimore, MD
I researched many treadmills before making this purchase. I have owned this treadmill for about 1 month now and love it. It's better than I expected (thank goodness since it is expensive). I am a runner so I wanted a sturdy treadmill that I could run on (approximately 6-7 miles/day). I'm tall (female-5'10") and the length of the belt is more than adequate for me. I did not buy this treadmill for the fan and speaker system; however, after reading the reviews, they're better than I thought. The fan is just fine to blow a little coolness, but if you really want a fan, just put a larger one in the room. The speakers were just fine on mine but I normally turn on my tv and crank that up. The heart rate monitor doesn't seem to be too reliable; but again, I didn't buy it for that feature. I bought it for the durability for a runner and am more than pleased with this treadmill. It was easy to put together and I highly recommend it.
