Limited Functionality with workout apps I have a Sole F80 treadmill (2021 I believe) and it functions fine, but Sole limits the bluetooth functionality so that it will not work with third-party fitness apps to control treadmill incline and speed, which means that you are stuck with their very small built-in workout menu. You can still adjust speed and incline manually, but you will lose so much functionality to use different workout programs of your choice. Asked about a firmware upgrade, SOLE told me sorry, no plans to do anything about that. Basically we have your money, see ya sucker…

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.

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.

Awful Customer Service Purchased a Sole Elliptical E25 from a Sporting Goods store and discovered the product was defective upon setting it up, unusable. Called Sole the same day and was promised prompt service. Now 2 weeks later and I have heard nothing back and I am unable to to reach anyone by either phone or email. Incredibly unhappy to have a useless expensive piece of fitness equipment that I cannot even return, due to Soles requirement for dealing directly with them.
