F 80 Treadmill Cons

Reviewers had difficulty finding anything wrong with the Sole F80 treadmill. One review did point out the lack of quick speed and quick incline buttons. The F80 treadmill weighs in at a 250 lbs, so some reviewers did complain that it was difficult to move around once assembled. Make sure you assemble it where it will be used. Reviewers also noted that assembly was quite complicated and took upwards of two hours for the average person.

All told the Sole F80 treadmill is most recommended for heavy exercisers or serious athletes.
