What Gives Them An Edge Over Other Treadmills:
- Superior Construction: Sole treadmills are built for the commercial (hotel) environment so they use superior quality parts which are then covered by extensive warranties
- Horseshoe Folding Deck Design: Because of the demands of the hotel environment, Sole needed a treadmill that felt as solid as a commercial unit, but still folded and was easy to move in and out of rooms. The Horseshoe folding deck design with a safety lock makes Sole folding treadmills just as sturdy if not sturdier than other non-folding treadmills.
- Cushion Flex Cushioning: This cushioning system has been recognized by a leading university as the industry’s best, providing a 365% lower impact than walking or running on asphalt.
- Whisper Deck: a very quiet deck with a lower decibel rating than other Phenolic coated decks to ensure a quiet workout. Whisper Decks also come with a Lifetime warranty. No worries about wearing it out - Sole will replace it - Free.
- High Ratings - Sole treadmills are already receiving high ratings from experts even though relatively new to the home treadmill market.
- Superior Warranties - All Sole treadmills come with warranties that include: Lifetime coverage on the frame and deck, 30 years on the motor, 5 years on the electronics / belt / rollers and all other wear components, and 1 year on labor.
- Easy Ordering With All Questions Answered: The Sole website offers everything you need to know about your treadmill before you order. It's easy to navigate, lets you compare Sole treadmills, gives you detailed pictures of each treadmill and more.
And as a further bonus, Sole offers free shipping and zero sales tax on their treadmills.
Drawbacks:
None that we can find so far, except that perhaps they are not as well known as other brands. That's a shame considering the product is vastly superior.
Final Conclusion:
Sole treadmills would be our choice for the best mid-priced range of treadmills and possibly the best treadmill brand on the market right now. Their treadmills offer superior quality that have been tested in the hotel/commercial environment with excellent results.
Sole treadmills easily compete with other treadmills in the $2500+ range.
If you're a runner or just want a superior product for less, a Sole treadmill is one of the best options out there.
