make them used regularly and moved to different locations constantly.
Sole treadmills are known for their quality, durability and reliability. All Sole units are made only of commercial grade parts and components. The frame is made of welded steel built into the Whisper Deck, which Sole claims to be the quietest in the treadmill market.
Under the hood, Smooth treadmills are installed with commercial grade motors. They are quiet and provide consistent power for extended use. We noticed no straining in our tests.
There are no treadmill that comes close to Sole for stability compared to other folding machines of other brands. Most treadmill manufacturers have no choice but often have to sacrifice stability in making folding units. This is not so with Sole. All their machines are superbly engineered that you are assured of the same strength and durability as non-folding units. The F-Series treadmills are a proof of this as evidenced by its patent-pending double horseshoe folding frame.
Another essential item for durable treadmills are the cushioning system. Sole's excellent R&D is aware of the damage that can be caused by a poorly designed cushioning system. To prevent this, their designers came up with the CushionFlex that absorbs as much as 40% of joint impacts to the hips, knees and ankles. An industry experiment proved this results through an extensive study.
Just recently in 2009, all Sole treadmills are sold with built-in iPod and mp3 docks and speakers.
As with any product, the quality can be gauged through its warranty. The Sole brand proves just that. Most Sole treadmills have a lifetime on the motor as well as the frame and deck. Sole offers the industry-best 2 year service warranty. For the owner, this is an excellent offer which can translate at more than $1,000 if something goes wrong within a couple of years.
We recommend Sole treadmills for those who want to have a tested and proven machine starting for the mid-range user. The price is good value. With Sole, you can be sure that every nut, bolt and flywheel are made from quality components.
