F80 Treadmill not worth the fortune
I've purchased a F80 Treadmill with all it's pomp and circumstance during COVID and can tell you after 3 years, it's NOT worth the money. I'm a runner and use this almost exclusively in the winter, and EVERY YEAR it requires service. Shortly after Year 1 - service for squeaks (oiled, labour at my expense) Year 2 - replaced main motor due to noise (labour at my expense) Year 3 - replaced incline motor due to noise and creaking (labour at my expense) Year 3 (Nov 2025) - replaced main motor due to noise. Replaced belt 1 month after warranty period expired. Partly my expense, partly Sole. Year 4 (Jan 2026) - motor needs replacing again, plus some other random noise (expense TBD) For a nearly $3000 product, I've paid over $400 in labour costs and the machine is NOT "whisper quiet". Company service is decent, though depending on the rep you get they can be terse. Updated after Company response: If SOLE wants to talk, I will happily do so - please contact me by EMAIL.
