Sole S73 Treadmill Review

The Sole S73 treadmill is by no means a loud, showy machine, but gets the job done just the same. This treadmill sports a high torque, 3.0 HP motor, giving the user a highly powerful and effective workout that can rival those of other treadmills with all the bells and whistles. The running surface is a roomy 20″ by 60″, and while the treadmill itself weighs 250 lbs, it can accommodate a user of up to 350 lbs. The Sole F73 is also capable of a speed of up to 12 mph. These dimensions make this treadmill a reliable workout machine for walking, jogging, and running.

While other treadmills are still making a name for themselves, the Sole S73 already has an impressive 4 years of solid performance to boast of. Treadmill Doctor has this to say about the Sole S73 – “An excellent value in the treadmill world.” If hotel chains like the Hilton are quite satisfied with the performance of Sole treadmills in general, that should say a lot for the quality of treadmills they produce.

The MSRP on the Sole S73 is $2,099.00 but is regularly on sale for around $1699.99 and you pay no sales tax unless you are a resident of Utah.

Although it is not flashy, it is a solid performer over the past four years. We expect that track record to continue. -Industry Experts, TreadmillDoctor.com

Sole Fitness markets treadmills and elliptical trainers and is owned by Dyaco, a major conglomerate. Dyaco also manufacturers Spirit treadmills, which are a lower-end line of treadmills. Sole treadmills are made with higher quality components and are better engineered. Sole started out as a company providing treadmills to hotels. Today their treadmills can be found in the Hilton and Omni hotel chains. That should tell you something about the durability of their treadmills. They expanded to the consumer treadmill market in the early 2000's and have quietly become a major player in the mid-range treadmill category.
