With some new updates for the new 2009 model, the Sole F63 quality treadmill has been rated as the top buy in its price point for a long time. As Sole does with all models, they have taken note of customer needs and comments-and in the process given the consumer a machine that not only focuses on the customers, but is a great value for their money.
Personally, I don't think that the Sole F63 needed an update, but I will agree that the LCD screen and updated console are improvements that are very welcome and do make the console itself much more appealing. Although the machine has been considered an ultimate in value, the addition of the speakers with MP3 port was icing on the cake.
Knowing that the addition of the speaker helped its popularity, but so has the installation of fans. Also, the ability to fold the Sole F63 easily helps sales, too-except that there are no hydraulic shocks in this machine.
All These Years Later, Still A Great Value
Having been around for many years, and receiving just as many rave reviews, the Sole F63 is now going through some updates for 2009. Many consumers, however, are expressing concern over the MSRP-or Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price-because of the update. Sole does sell it treadmills directly from the factory, so there really is no need to be concerned about the MSRP of 00.
Buying directly from the factory will continue to give you great value, that has not changed.
Even though this is not a high-end treadmill, it still provides increased impact cushioning of up to 36.5%--compare that to running on an asphalt street. Running is turned into a low-impact exercise, and actually becomes enjoyable for those people who have joint problems, such as arthritis-all because of the shock absorption. The platform feels very smooth, and does not pass on vibrations all through the machine, as you are holding onto it-as opposed to many other machines in the same price point, or less.
However, the only concerns about the F63 are that the power may not be enough-especially if the user of the machine is too close to the limit allowed by the machine at the incline in use at the time. The other concern-taller individuals have tougher time feeling at ease on the small walking area on the F63. This can really make running a challenge for them.
Value Driven
Sole is still concerned that its customers stay happy, even with the updates. That's why the aesthetic updates were done in the first place-to make the unhappy pleased. Even with the price hike, the Sole F63 treadmill has kept everything that made it a wonderful value before, and added a few redesigns just for the consumer.
