Making Your Selection

  • Do you intend to heavily use the machine? (The S77 SOLE features a 4.0 Cont. Duty HP motor)
  • Do you have the space required for the model desired? (Sole F85 is foldable)
  • What kinds of features do you seek in your treadmill? (NordicTrack 1750 has most features)
  • How much are you willing to spend? (TT8 SOLE is the most expensive, the F63 is the cheapest)

Once you have the answers for these questions, you can start your search. For heavy, regular usage, the NordicTrack model may provide more satisfaction due to its heavier, more solid build and variety of features. For those who only run on a weekly to biweekly basis, the Sole model may prove more desirable, due to their smaller size.

Carefully review your specific needs before making a purchase, weather you are considering the Sole F85, S77, TT8 or the NordicTrack 1750 treadmill you must first make sure it meet your needs (Consumer Reports and Resources).
