Kind of a bummer I guess, but I’ve noticed several brands doing these over the last few years, so what can ya do. The assembly process for the F65 is a very straightforward one and Sole does a nice job making the assembly manual easy to follow. While the Sole F63 is great for a majority of users, and is the least expensive, the F65 has some key features that make it better suited for larger users and people who want more power from their treadmill motor. While Sole Fitness doesn’t provide a subscription for workouts and tutorials, you can still use some of your favorite streaming platformswhile working out on the treadmill. Its tablet holder above the display makes it easy for everyone to stay engaged with their workout videos. Warranties One great feature that shows how confident Sole is with the quality of the F65 is the lifetime warranty on the motor and frame and 3 years on the parts and labour. However, we’ve seen plenty of complaints about the brand’s poor customer support, so be warned!Sole is a well-known home fitness brand that’s gained a lot of respect in the industry for providing high-quality machines that work the way they’re supposed to. The F65 has a USB port located on the console’s side. So if you intend on streaming your favorite shows or music from your device, you can rest assured that you won’t be dealing with a dead battery after your conditioning. Bluetooth and Audio Options

Well, the F63 comes with an assembled weight of 254 lb and the F65 comes with an assembled weight of 267 lb. The S77 offers minimal technology and entertainment however, it provides everything you need to train hard with some added conveniences. The console comes with integrated Bluetooth speakers, a tablet holder, USB port and cooling fans. So you can still listen to your favorite music or watch a show to stay entertained throughout your workout. Additionally, Bluetooth technology allows users to transfer their fitness data to Fitbit, Mapmyrun, Record, or Apple Health. Powered by a 4.0 horsepower motor, the F85 reaches speeds up to 12 miles per hour and offers 15 levels of incline for runners looking to train with intensity or those who want more than just flat-level jogging. Equipped with six standard, seven fitness, and 12 customizable and savable onboard programs, the F85 offers more programming options than others in this folding series. Even more impressive is that the 10.1-inch touchscreen display comes loaded with seven apps: Netflix, YouTube, ESPN, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, and CNN.Finally, for home gyms that need every last inch of space for a treadmill, the footprint of the F63 is slightly narrower and shorter lengthwise compared to the F65 (35” x 77” vs 38” x 82.5”). Two years on parts is pretty average for the price of the F65, but 3 years on parts for the F63 is amazing for the price. If the running surface is the most important spec to look at, the motor strength is a close second. After all, the treadmill’s motor is responsible for powering every workout you’ll do on it. I still think the F65 is a solid treadmill, but it’s a little disappointing to see that Sole used a weaker motor, smaller rollers, and cut a year off the parts warranty.

The Sole F65 Treadmill offers 10 programmed workout options for your cardio sessions. Two are focused on your heart rate, while two others are customizable. The remaining six are Manual, Hill, Fatburn, Cardio, Strength, and HIIT. These are some pretty basic options you may be familiar with, but they’re a nice touch as not every treadmill has this many options. Display Most quality treadmills these days are offering running surfaces of at least 20″ x 60″ because at this size, the treadmill can handle most folks comfortably. And that’s because the running surface tells you exactly how much room you’ll have when using said treadmill.It’s rare to seem a higher-end model come with a shorter warranty, so this makes me think Sole might be in the midst of re-thinking all their warranties. When compared to similarly priced offerings from rival manufactures, there are many aspects that make the F65 stand apart from the competition. As we’ve mentioned, the motor is exceptionally powerful at this price point, meaning that although the top speeds may appear close, the extra power should extend the lifespan of the machine because the F65 doesn’t have to work as hard to deliver the same speed. The ease at which the motor performs also reflects in relatively quiet noise levels in use too. This treadmill also comes with 2.36″ rollers, which is pretty good for a treadmill in this price range (it used to come with 2.5″ rollers, which was even better). While walkers can safely get away with weaker motors, people who plan on running regularly should look for a treadmill that has at least a 3.0 HP motor (and even stronger for serious runners). Tablet Holder: A tablet computer can serve as the program monitor and send training data to various fitness apps. Sole treadmills have better tablet holders compared with those from last design; a lip on the ledge keeps devices secure.
