Strengths:
Cushioning - The Cushion Flex running surface is one of the best cushioning systems out there today and has been shown in a study to reduce impact by 40% compared to running on asphalt. This makes it a great cushioning system for runners.
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 mp3 player and listen to your favorite music or audiobook 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 Walking Belt - With a 60" belt, this is one of the longest belts in the industry. Runners and taller users will appreciate this feature as you can really pick up your pace and not feel like you're going to fall off the treadmill.
Excellent Warranty - The Sole S77 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 on the market. We also love the 2 years on service. Even with well built treadmills, you usually only get 1 year on service.
Club-style Tri Color LED Display Console - This is the type of treadmill console you see in health clubs, right down to the scrolling message board.
While you're working out you can simultaneously track your speed, incline, time, distance covered, calories burned, pulse and pace. There's also a 1/4 mile track feature and peak / valley graph for different programs.
Overall Conclusion: Highly Recommended
The Sole S77 doesn't get as much hype as the Sole F85 (folding) however it's still an exceptional treadmill that gives you just as much (except for the folding ability) for $100 less than the F85.
And when you compare it to other brands at this price point, it gives you way more for your money.
A strong motor power, excellent warranty, extra long treadbelt, 400 lb user weight capacity, whisper quiet deck, exceptional cushioning and advanced console with mp3 dock - all these things add up to a high value treadmill.
