I recieved this item about a week ago and have used it 3 times since then.
Good:
Easy to assemble- although it’s definitely a 2 person assembly & move job.
Programs and functions are easy to use once you’ve navigated a couple of times.
IPOD jack eliminates ear phones.
Feels very solid when running or walking at a fast pace.
Bad:
Not easy to move- especially on carpet.
Incline could be steeper- but I like walking on hills.
It’s a little bit loud- but then I’ve got nothing to compare it to.

This treadmill truly is as sturdy as claimed. The track is wide and long enough that I can walk with my dog on it and it holds up to a run at an incline. It was a snap to set up, but is understandably really, really heavy and terribly awkward to move the base to its permanent location. Operation is intuitive for those of us who don’t get around to reading the manual. The fans are cute and okay if you’re not sweating, which is to say that you should buy a real fan for a real workout. I did a lot of shopping before choosing the Sole about seven months ago and this is the best equipment for the price.

I reviewed several treadmills in the $1500 – $3000 range and felt the Sole S77 at $1899 was the best solution for my needs. I weigh 190 pounds and run 5 to 7 miles five times per week on this treadmill. My wife and daughter also use the treadmill for walking and occassional runs.
We’ve only had the treadmill for 4 months but already have 800 miles logged on it. I have no complaints and think it’s a solid performer. . . very sturdy deck, smooth tread, easy to use panel.
Two ‘negative’ comments about the S77. . . 1) as many already pointed out, the Sole treadmills are heavy and require two people. The driver brought it into my garage and from there (with my wife’s help) I used my handtruck to move it into the basement where I have our exercise rooom. 2) The ‘cooling’ fans are useless. But I didn’t buy it for the fans, so I don’t care. The exercise room I finished already has ceiling fans, along with a floor standing model. So we have plenty of air flow.
The treadmill is right next to our Sole elliptical which we’ve had for 2 1/2 years (primarily used by my wife and daughter). This was another reason why I bought the treadmill from Sole because the elliptical is built the same way. Great machines that I know will last my family for many years.

Overall, this is a great product.
I’m glad I went with one of their larger models. The shorter running deck would have been a disappointment.
They deliver these things through one of those trucking services that just drop the box at the front door, and then you sign for it. (I was fortunate that the delivery guy helped me get it inside, but they are not required to do that. This is important because the box is HEAVY. . . no way one person could move it inside. )
Set up was very easy. . . someone has really thought this out.
The build quality for a home system, at this price, is very good. Don’t expect a trend mill that you saw at the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton.
The speakers are pretty lame, but do the job for Podcasts, and Audiobooks. Music doesn’t sound so good, but again, it’s tolerable.
After much research, and for the price, I’m glad I ended up with the Sole S77.
Btw, I opted for this vs. a folding treadmill. After all, there’s not much need for a folding treadmill. It’s not like your space looks BETTER when you fold it up. And if you need to vacuum under it, it’s easy to move.
