Appalling post sale service We bought a new F80 treadmill in December 2020 and belt is not alligned, rubbing and chafing on one side, which makes machine inoperable. Waiting times to reach CS avarages 1 hour. I've had to call more than twice to get the same issue resolved. Finally they are sending technician to tune the machine, but they have not called to schedule appintment, despite they said I would be contacted in maximum three days. Four days have passed and no one has contacted me... as I write this review I've been over 1 hour waiting to speak to someone.

On 07/04/23 I purchased the F80… On 07/04/23 I purchased the F80 Treadmill from Sole. I paid for assembly and for a five-year warranty. True to the pattern of bad business documented in these reviews, Sole weaseled their way out of my five-year warranty. The F80 Treadmill started to make loud screeching sounds after only 3 months of use. The replacement parts were broken. After three attempts the technician seemed to fix the treadmill. But a few months later the same problem recurred. This time the technician could not fix the loud screeching. A third time they made the screeching louder by the time they left. The fourth time, they returned just to photograph my room to pretend I was the one to blame for the treadmill's failure. They blamed my cat for its urine on the machine. Yet the machine didn't sound bad after the cat pee, it sounded worse and worse after the technician visits. Sole technicians are not held accountable for their incompetence; the pattern shown in these complaints is that Sole blames the customer. Sole machines are flimsy, low quality but priced high. The Sole company is a bunch of snake oil salesmen who traffic in pretense and fraud with the low quality machines and incompetent technical service.

Horrible Support on New Sole F80 treadmill… I purchased a new Sole F80 treadmill with white glove delivery and setup. After geeting the treadmill setup and installed, it was perfect. However, I didnt realize the white glove installers had installed the main display screen crooked. I immediately called Sole Fitness and it's affiliated warranty company to see how Sole would take care of this improperly installed display screen, considering the treadmill was brand new. This is where I have my issue. I was advised, "I would have to fix it myself." I said, "WHAT!?" I expressed that I paid $350 for set up and I would now have fix an improperly setup treadmill that I didn't set up. You can see where my dismay and anger is from. This treadmill is brand new, not even a week old and never used yet. At this time, out of principle, Im about to return this Sole F80 treadmill for a complete refund. The fact that I was told to handle the repair is an insult, and far from what I expected from deciding to go with a Sole treadmill. So while I'm quite sure the treadmill is solid, beware the lousy inconsiderate after support as well as the poorly done initial setup, which is not worth $350. I hope I'm contacted by Sole as this is an embarrassing situation for them Sincerely, Chris C.

Be wary of third party support After using my previous elliptical for over 14 years, I did a ton of research before deciding on the E95S from Sole. I opted for the additional fees to have it assembled when delivered. Unfortunately, the second or third time I used it, the legs started jumping track. I called Sole support and a helpful person offered to send a tech to fix it. The third party firm that Sole uses for support has no-showed for multiple appointments and now, three months later, I'm still trying to get someone to show up to fix it. Next time, I'll buy locally from someone that will come to my house and fix it if it doesn't work (especially within weeks of purchase). Disappointing experience for a $2k purchase.

Excellent quality. I bought a Sole Fitness R92 recumbent exercise bike. It is very sturdily built, excellent quality, much better than a Schwinn 230 I'd previously purchased and returned after one day. Assembly is a bit tedious, but straight forward with very clear instructions. The control panel is easy to understand, much better than the Schwinn. Seat is comfortable. Sole Fitness is about the only company were you can even buy a high quality exercise bike right now. The web site says it won't ship for 30 days, and that's what I experienced; it did ship shortly after 30 days.
