Great thorough review! Been looking at Sole and comparing to others. This was extremely helpful! *** Update *** Just bought a 2023 model at Dicks Sporting Goods in September, on sale for $999.99, plus $99 for assembly. They must be making room for the 2024 models. It's really heavy for 1 person, so you definitely need 2 people. I paid for assembly, and it took 2 people to carry it and assemble. They were done with assembly in about 20 minutes. Very solid, no frills, but very solid. The fan is almost worthless, but we have a ceiling fan in our bedroom, so no issue for us. A lot more quite than I expected. It's the perfect size for our bedroom. Excellent! Thanks again for the review!
Omg thank you. I thought they send me the wrong treadmill. But thank you for clarifying that the model has change a little bit, they gave the old version manual, so I was confused
@@TreadmillReviewGuruAnytime. I just found your channel. I love your review style. No annoying background music. Simple and concise coherent information. Perfect.
I've watched your videos on the Horizon 7.0 and Sole F63. The Horizon seemed much quieter. Is it quieter, or maybe the camera was further away during filming ? What's your opinion
Thanks for watching and great question! Both machines will work great for your needs so you shouldn't have a problem either way. The Horizon will have slightly better cushioning and those roller dials for easy adjustments, but other than that it will be personal preference. These are 2 of our favorite treadmills right now. We do feel that the Sole will win in the build quality and durability categories because Sole builds really great and long lasting machines. Either way, you can't go wrong. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
It’s at a 1 percent incline which I noticed as well there are adjustable feet pedals that you can twist but I placed weighted plate from curl bar under foot pedal now sits level hopefully that helps
Is there much of a difference in the feel when running between this and the F80? I dont like a lot of movement on the treadmill but I may be able to get away with the F63 weighing only 160lbs .
From what I understand, on the 2023 model, they actually reduced/downgraded the roller size from 2.5" to 2.36" on the front and 1.8" on the rear rollers. Not sure about deck and belt thickness. On the Dick's website it still says 2.5" on the rollers but that's false. I was hoping this video would have discussed roller size downgrade, but they didn't.
@@JSimon-or4ve it’s the exact reason I came to this video. Based on these spec I think I’m going to go with Horizon. Also horizon list all their spec on the website as if they aren’t afraid of anything
Is anyone else having problems with the front area where the screen is and the handles moving a ton while running? Is my floor uneven? I feel like I’ve tightened everything and it just moves a ton. Am I running too close to the front? Are other people experiencing this? Even my 9 year old son gets on and it’s rocking/swaying/wobbling. It’s not a shake. But it’s definitely moving like something isn’t tight but it’s completely tightened
Thanks for the review, but I've been reading review after review of both treadmills & walking pads, and I now go first to the 1 Star Ratings, as it seems that Quality is way down & Customer Service is Non-Existant on most treadmills & walking pads. $1,000 is a large investment for me, and I can't afford to get a large Sole F63 home, and put together, only to have it fail, but that is what I am reading on both the Sole F63 and the Horizon.
1:04 - when the treadmill is folded, hold the back of the deck with your hand, you probably need to push up slightly. Then with your foot press the release lever, then let go and you should be good to go.
So between this sole and horizon 7.0 which is good for running? I run between 4 to 5 miles in the evening and 2 to 3 miles in the morning. My old treadmill broke down and need to get one soon and I’m looking at both treadmills trying to forgive out which is best.
Great question!! Here's our comparison of the 2 machines if that helps ruclips.net/video/SHfhYRi-3PY/видео.html Both would work great for what you're looking for. The Sole is going to be a little more durable and the Horizon will give you a little more cushioning. Let us know if you have other questions, thanks!
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you for the video on the horizon 7 and Sole. I decided to go with the Sole F63 (2023) and love the treadmill so far definitely an upgrade from old treadmills thanks again for the review video awesome job.
@@Learnsomethinghere1 it’s been a good machine I weigh 170 and go on speed 9.5 for 3 miles every morning and it’s held up good no slip ups only complaint is speakers are weak built in fan is also weak but I don’t use them often just running

Thanks for watching! We're happy to help!
I really hate hearing that when you are paying $1000 for a treadmill that the motor might not be enough. You should get everything for $1000
By far, the best review on this treadmill from any channel. In fact, this channel is extremely thorough with their reviews.
Thank you for the kind words!
Omg thank you. I thought they send me the wrong treadmill. But thank you for clarifying that the model has change a little bit, they gave the old version manual, so I was confused
Your reviews are amazing.
Thanks for watching!
@@TreadmillReviewGuruAnytime. I just found your channel. I love your review style. No annoying background music. Simple and concise coherent information. Perfect.
Nice butt too
I just bought this treadmill, I keep setting an incline of 12…and then it goes down after a minute. I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong
Great treadmill!
I've watched your videos on the Horizon 7.0 and Sole F63. The Horizon seemed much quieter. Is it quieter, or maybe the camera was further away during filming ? What's your opinion
Yeah I noticed the air flow isn’t strong I feel maybe it was made incorrectly maybe the fan blades are backwards
I'm torn between the Sole F63 and Horizon 7.0 AT - both around $1000 right now. Would be used for walking/jogging - 5 miles daily. Thoughts?
Thanks for watching and great question! Both machines will work great for your needs so you shouldn't have a problem either way.

@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you very much!
Seems like the treadmill is on incline all the time. Can that be adjusted
It’s at a 1 percent incline which I noticed as well there are adjustable feet pedals that you can twist but I placed weighted plate from curl bar under foot pedal now sits level hopefully that helps
What do you think about THE BOWFLEX BXT8J
Is there much of a difference in the feel when running between this and the F80? I dont like a lot of movement on the treadmill but I may be able to get away with the F63 weighing only 160lbs .
I tried them both in store and I felt virtually zero difference, so I went with the F63. I weigh 150 lbs.
Does the F 63 export workout data to Apple Fitness? Does it work with Polar HRM?
What's the deck and belt thickness? What's the dimension of the rollers?
From what I understand, on the 2023 model, they actually reduced/downgraded the roller size from 2.5" to 2.36" on the front and 1.8" on the rear rollers. Not sure about deck and belt thickness.

@@JSimon-or4ve it’s the exact reason I came to this video. Based on these spec I think I’m going to go with Horizon. Also horizon list all their spec on the website as if they aren’t afraid of anything
Is this good for running for 30 mins?
Very nice
When is this and F80 being released, because i cant find the updated versions anywhere
If you're in the US then they've been released on Soles website. Check the link in the video description.
Is that screen in a demo mode or is that the stock screen you see before you use every time ? I just got mine yesterday
Is anyone else having problems with the front area where the screen is and the handles moving a ton while running? Is my floor uneven? I feel like I’ve tightened everything and it just moves a ton. Am I running too close to the front? Are other people experiencing this? Even my 9 year old son gets on and it’s rocking/swaying/wobbling. It’s not a shake. But it’s definitely moving like something isn’t tight but it’s completely tightened
Depending on your floor, you may have a wheel that’s floating a bit. Using a floor mat of some kind could eliminate this.

did you ever find a good one? i'm in the same boat and the f63 looks promising but the 1 star reviews are plenty lol
Thank you
Any info on the Bluetooth functionality? Can’t seem to find any details
Same I have one and can't figure out how to connect bluetooth
How do you connect bluetooth??
how to unfold?

How are you liking the sole for running? I’m looking at getting one for comparable mileage.

the walking demo at 0% definitely isn’t 0%…not sure what to make of that
We were thinking the same thing and actually recalibrated the incline twice before filming this review.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru either way, thank you for the review
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Hey I just purchased one and didn't receive it yet. Is there a video for doing the incline calibration?
first view
Great review. Nice trunk junk also.
