Strong, Stable Feel - Sole treadmills in general feel very strong and stable when you walk or run on them. When we tried them, they just felt more substantial than several other brands we'd tried.
The decks are strong and can take a beating. Plus they're covered by a lifetime warranty which tells you something about the quality of construction.
Built In Speakers with iPod/Mp3 Hookup - Plug in your iPod or mp3 and listen to your favorite music through the built in speakers. There's also a headphone jack if you prefer. This is a fun feature that can help make your workout time more productive.
Extra Long Running Belt - The spacious 20 x 60" is the longest running belt in the Sole lineup. It is long enough so that you can pick up the pace and feel like you've still got lots of room to move. This is a great feature to have for runners and/or people over 5'8".
Excellent Warranty - The S73 comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, deck and motor. Electronics, belt and rollers are covered for 5 years and service is covered for 2 years.
This is one of the best warranties in the field. We also love the 2 years on service. Even with well built treadmills, you usually only get 1 year on service.
Overall Conclusion: Highly Recommended
Sole makes their treadmills with a higher grade of construction than most other brands and you can see that in the Sole S73 treadmill. With a strong motor, excellent cushioning, extra long belt, advanced console and extra long warranty, this is a treadmill that was built to last.
And the icing on the cake is the little extras Sole has added like the advanced health club like console, built in speakers for your mp3 player and workout fans.
The one thing people may not like is that the S73 does not fold up (see the Sole F series for that). Beyond that however, when you compare it to other brands at this price point, the Sole S73 gives you more for your money.
