Best Sole Treadmill

5 Heather
Assembly was easy and straightforward. Wires were already routed through the arm, steps were clear and simple. The console is excellent, very intuitive and responsive. It seems odd that the speed selections skip 6mph, but the rocker buttons on the arm to fine- tune speed selection are excellent. As other reviews and review videos have stated, the speed and incline changes are on the slow side, but they ’ re smooth and consistent. The Kinomap has turned out to be my favorite feature. It has lots of amazing content and you can also upload your own video or a plain GPX file. When I can ’ t be on the trails, I enjoy treadmill running in general, but this is a whole new level. Zwift connection requires a tablet or PC, instead of having a native app, and a creen mirroring is possible from tablet or phone, but not from PC. Sole appears to send the set speed to Zwift instead of the belt speed, so a longer session with lots of pace changes will have different final distance in Zwift versus the display due to the slow rate of change on belt speed. The supposed Garmin integration is absolutely bogus. To connect to the treadmill, the watch must be disconnected from any phone. It doesn ’ t connect as a foot pod or send any information about a workout session to the watch while recording a treadmill or virtual run, and isn ’ t worth the headaches and time to make the connection. It anppears this is an Garmin limitation, not necessarily Sole. Instead, I recommend the NPE Runn sensor to capture actual belt speed and accurate distance. It can also send incline information to a Garmin device, captured via an IQ field, though Garmin limits how this data is written to the activity file( it won ’ t be sent to Strava as elevation info). So why still 5 stars? This treadmill is excellent for long, steady- state or tempo interval running. Having both incline and decline that integrate to apps is a game- changer. Anything that might reduce the rating is related to software, not hardware, which is likely on a path to improvement. The reviewers haven ’ t caught up to the fact that the TT8 now has the same console and apps as the F85 and others, so it ’s clear to me that Sole is making steady improvements to their products. I expect to put thousands of miles on this unit and am confident I ’ ll be happy doing it.

I wanted a treadmill that was sturdy and didn ’ t jump around while I ran on it. I really like the Sole TT8. I was between this and the comparable Nordic model but what sold me on the TT8 was the belt was more shock absorbent and it wasn ’ t curling at the edges. It stays nice and flat. I ’ ve only run flat so far, but having the ability to incline and decline will come in handy as I progress in my training.

The Sole TT8 is great! It is solid and smooth for walking or running. The display screen is a perfect size for streaming outlets or training videos. The Volume sound output could be a little better and their are no usb or earphone spots. Have had some trouble pairing bluetooth headphones and using the mirroring. However the treadmill is fantastic and getting good use out of it.

I love the TT8. It was the only machine built strong enough for my weight. Weight which was exactly why I bought it. I ’ m a 315 pound man. No other companies offered the weight limit I needed. I use it daily. I had a hip replacement and had to get under 300 and did. I was doing 11 miles a day on recumbent bike and needed the TT8 for additional training to keep the weight off. Doctors orders. Been doing a mile a day. No complaints on the machine. only two small issues for me. Actually one and one thing to consider. I can ’ t stand the fact you can ’ t hide the icon to advance between the media screen and the control screen. It lets you minimize it which leaves it horribly in your way and make it smaller which isn ’ t small at all, if Soke pays attention to this. Please update this to allow it to be hidden totally without popping back up. The other note is if you have a 7 foot ceiling, I am 6 ’ 2 ” when you use decline you can hit your head. So be aware of that. But mostly doesn ’ t interfere with me as I ’ m just fast walking for now. I ’ ve also had 6 discs fused and have a cage and rods in my lower back. I refuse to be a cripple and the TT8 is one tool that will keep me playing with my grandchildren for years to come. God willing. It ’s really worth every penny. It ’s a solid well built machine.

This Sole TT8 is replacing my S77 purchased 8 years ago. This is our 4th Sole purchase. We have an elliptical, bike and now 2nd treadmill from Sole. There was over 7, 000 miles on the S77 before we retired it. Any worn parts were replaced under warranty without issue. Customer service was prompt and easy to work with. But technology changes over 8 years and we felt it was time to upgrade. The TT8 is a beast. Heavy and solid. Consider where you plan on placing the treadmill before purchase. Large interactive screen, quiet motor, speed and elevation controls easy to reach make adjusting your run a breeze. Programmed routines are extensive. Far different from the S77. Wifi brings options for an abundance of classes, routines and streaming video selections. The multi user login and data capture makes personal goal details more visible. The ability to add favorite routines to the main screen is a big plus. After 88 days of ownership and 622 miles logged, I 'm a happy Sole TT8 owner.
