What We Like
High-quality parts: Sole home treadmills include many parts that are worthy of commercial-grade machines intended for heavy use. Examples include commercial motors and large rollers that help extend track life.
Motor: The S73 has a quiet commercial-grade 3.0 HP motor that’s cooled by heavy-duty flywheels.
Track size: With its 60”x20” running area, the Sole S73 can accommodate taller runners.
Track cushioning: Sole’s “whisper quiet” CushionFlex technology has been proven to reduce joint impact by up to 40% when compared with road running. Some other brands’ treadmill tracks only claim a 15% impact reduction.
Warranty: Sole Fitness leads the treadmill industry with its warranties. The S73 is sold with a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, a five-year warranty on other parts, and two years of in-home service.
Audio: The Sole S73 has built-in speakers. Users can play music from their MP3 players.
What We Don’t Like
The entry-level S73 has a lower weight capacity (250 pounds) than other treadmills in the Sole lineup. It has just ten workout programs, but the MP3 player can help most people adhere to an exercise schedule.
Our Verdict
Sole treadmills are highly recommended. The entry-level S73 provides the essentials for daily running, including a great track and motor, and the audio is a nice bonus. Some users might prefer a treadmill with more programs and other features. However, this machine is built to last and is sold with a generous warranty.
