Sole S73 Treadmill Review for 2009

Sole is known for having some of the best bang-for-your-buck treadmills in the $1,000 to $2,000 price range. They have a history of building solid machines for hotels which still offer a quality experience. They tend to lack a few of the bells and whistles of comparable models, but they offer more reliability instead. The S73 follows along those lines. You get a machine that runs as if it cost twice as much, but you don't have to worry about breaking the bank to afford that great run.

The S73 is essentially the non-folding twin of the F83. Almost all of the pieces are the same except you end up paying just a little bit less. However, if you have the space for a non-folding treadmill, you do get a few benefits to owning a model with no folding parts. Non-folding treadmills tend to feel much more stable due to the lack of extra parts required to fold up. The quality of the run may be better for some individuals as well. Not only does the non-folding aspect make it more stable, the 250 pound weight gives you a very solid run.

One of the best features of the Sole line is one you will probably never think to look for. The 2.75 inch rollers are standard only on machines costing twice as much as the S73 and offer a great run with less wear on the treadmill. You still get a powerful 3 HP motor and a 58 inch long running space. While the S77 boasts more power and space for just a little more, the S73 can save you some money if you don't need the extra size. The warranty that covers all of this is top notch as well. The motor and frame are covered by a lifetime warranty and you get a 5 year parts warranty and 2 year labor warranty.

The Sole S73 still has some very tough competition, but interestingly enough it comes from Sole as well. All treadmills fall into a certain niche, but with Sole that niche is very small. While it is easy to recommend this model for a well-built and solid treadmill, there are other great models with very similar prices to the S73.

The S73 offers you great value for money, as well as outstanding quality and reliability, not to mention a fantastic running experience. And surely these are the things that really matter.
