I bought an F85 in February - I purchased what I thought was the more robust F85 in the hopes it would last longer. In the past I bought much less expensive treadmills and the belt always wore out after a couple of years - it cost as much to replace the belt as buy a new one.
After two uses, I started getting the low speed error. It starts slow for about 5 seconds, speeds up for a few seconds, and then I get the error. When I called Sole there was no mention that this is a common problem, despite what I now see from several posts. A technician called me about 48 hours after I called and emailed me instructions on adjusting the sensor. I did this, it seems to have mitigated the problem to dome degree but didn't fix it. It still won't calibrate without getting the error.
I'm not happy with this machine. $2000 for something to take up space. I did better with the $500 treadmill I had before.

SOLE Treadmill PIece of Crap by: Anonymous
I got my SOLE treadmill missing a part, and then after two days of using it got a low speed error where the belt on the machine simply won't move. I tried shutting it off and on but nothing. I am thinking of returning it, but they better not make me pay for the repacking fee on their crappy product!!

Stopped working after 2 days by: Anonymous
I got my SOLE treadmill 2/12/10 and today, 2/15/10, it doesn't work. The product already came with the left side hand grip missing and now after only using it for 2 days, it has stopped working. I even decided on getting the F80 over the F63 because I thought it would last longer. Ha, guess that was a wrong assumption. Now I paid all this money for something that doesn't work. Great.

Piece of Junk by: Anonymous
I have an F63 Sole treadmill which has done nothing but give me a headache since very shortly after I purchased it. Sole sent out a replacement "computer" for it...and it is acting up AGAIN. It is rarely used...and all I get are "LOW SPEED" errors, where the treadmill just stops, after about 6-7 seconds on. It seems a lot of people also have this problem. UNACCEPTABLE, SOLE!!!

Sole Low Speed Error by: Tom Petersen
We bought a Sole Treadmill and it stop working with a low speed error. I am very dissatisfied with the product. It has been lightly used.
