Comment:
We have had this treadmill for over a year and between my husband and I, we have about 1000 miles on it. We have been very pleased with it. The controls are easy to use and it is very sturdy for running. I love the speakers. The sound coming out of them is not great, but I run early in the morning when my family is asleep, and hate headphones. The speakers are directed at me so the sound does not travel and I can listen to music without waking the whole house. All treadmills are loud, but this one is not overly loud. As I said, I run in the mornings and it does not wake up my entire family. We have not had any problems with the treadmill and love it.

Comment:
Have about 500 miles on this treadmill now. It is still very quiet and pleasant to use. I use this just about every day and have not had any problems with it at all. I liked the Sole treadmill so much that I just added a Sole Elliptical trainer (E55) to our home gym.
