Hello! I just received my new Sole (9/2/2021) and the included manual (updated 2/2021) also stated 5 year deck warranty while everything online states lifetime. I called Sole directly and they told me that it was a misprint – they sent me a new, updated manual showing lifetime warranty on the deck. I bought mine directly from Sole – the warranty may differ if bought from Dick’s. Anyhow, just confirming that it’s still lifetime! Yay Sole!

Be careful, the Canadian version does not come with the touchsceen, they are selling the old version. I am returning mine for the reason

Andrew,

Good question! This is a bit hard to quantify since it depends on a few factors, but our new Sole F85 arrived this week and I plan to test it tomorrow. I’ll assess how quickly it changes speed in between settings and get back to you!

Hi. Great review, though could you comment on the rate at which treadmill speed can be changed? For example if a workout requires a 30sec effort at a high speed, how quickly can the F85 react to ramping the speed up and then down again?

You are correct. We just received the 2021 F85 this week and the new manual lists the warranty as: Lifetime for frame and drive motor, 5 years deck and other components and 2 years for labor.

We don’t presume this to be a durability issue. Instead, it is probably due to the fact that available parts and technology change so fast that after 5 years it’s hard to get the parts needed to repair the deck. However, it is valuable to know the updated warranty details. We’ll include that in our review of the 2021 model.

You are right! The new 2021 model has a 10″ LCD touch panel and Android system. However, this screen operates a bit differently than the video touchscreens on other treadmills. The screen displays User Profile, Heart Rate, Speed, Pace, and Calories. It also has 7 built in apps like YouTube and Netflix! But it doesn’t have video content like iFit or Peloton.
