I just got the horizon 7.8, im about 329 pounds and this thing holds up well to the pressure i put on it when i do my dsily stomping, oppo i meant walking
Went to Dick’s today where they have both side by side. They are both awesome machines, it was a difficult choice. While I preferred the controls of the Horizon ($799) I found the deck of Sole ($999) to be more comfortable. My wife and I share the machine. We both only walk and jog, but hope a runner’s machine may give us better durability? On the whole I found the Sole slightly more solid but that is not to say the Horizon is shoddy in any way. I did choose the Sole. I did opt for their delivery and assembly ($160). I did this because if there are any damage or defects it is on them to get you a new machine (I’ve read all the online horror stories about defective equipment and hassle of getting it fixed). I also added 4 years onsite additional warranty ($219).
@@ProTechEpoxyFloors saw some ppl commenting on how the sole seems to shake a lot, but guessing you haven't felt that since your primary use is walking yea?
I think the machine seems louder, but the running (foot steps) sounds louder on the Horizon. So when you're actually running on them, the Horizon will sound louder overall. This is when I ran on them side by side at Dicks, I found the Sole more sturdy. I'll need to try one more time though to be sure.
I have arthritis in my knee so I am looking for something soft on the joints. I walked on a Sole 80 and it was really hard. Do you think the Horizon 7.8 is softer than the Sole? Anyone feel free to answer… I can’t find any in stock to try out.
I am seriously considering the Sole and that is mainly bc of the durability as well as the customer service is supposed to be better than most - but I will have to recheck the horizon cs reviews. That being said, this video shows the Sole is really bouncing while the Horizon seems to be more stable - though it is supposed to be more shock-absorbing. So I am a little curious as to which is better based on the demos. The more bouncy/more like concrete (Sole?) or the softer yet more sturdy-seeming Horizon?
You said the console of the Horizon shakes a bit, but looking at the video the Horizon 8:27 does not move when compared to the amount the Sole 7:55 shakes. Were you referring to sideways motion of the console? ..I have not run on a treadmill yet, Im choosing between these two of my 1st purchase. ..
How fast would you say the adjustments are? We just bought one and it seems to take forever…about 8-10 seconds from adjustment to the motor reacting. I reached out to horizon but haven’t heard back yet.
@@m3driver245 I mean it’s not instant but it is noticeably faster then the sole f63 which I compared side by side with this one. Also noticeably faster then my old semi commercial treadmill. If you changing the speed and the motor does nothing for 8-10sec then adjusts there is probably something wrong. I checked mine from a speed of 0.8 km/h to 10 km/h it took about 8 -10 seconds. That’s faster then my old treadmill and definitely feels faster then the sole f63. There was no delay from when I pushed 10km/h on the console for the motor to start speeding up
I noticed this as well, on sole you wonder if it was changing or not. The change in incline is pretty fast on the Horizon when I tried them side by side. The Sole does eventually get you there. it takes more time.
@@ImApringle I opened up a ticket with them about the issue. Turns out the communication cable was damaged and once it was replaced the treadmill has been wonderful.
The newest 7.0 AT Studio treadmill now easily connects to different fitness watches. Does the Sole F63 do the same? I have an Apple Watch Ultra and that is important to me that the treadmill connects to it.
Great video! I currently use a treadmill 2-3x a week at my college, but would love to have one in my garage gym as well. Definitely considering both of these options.
It looks like the console the F63 is "shaking" a lot harder than the Horizon! I find it interesting you said it felt the Horizon "console" was shaking more. The video certainly doesn't show it.
I found the controls to be easier to change on the Horizon as they have those vertical handles for easy changing. It's definitely more convenient, but it does takes away from the space in front of you.

How's it been going with your Sole?
@@chesian so far so good. I’ve only had it a few months. I use about 4-5 times per week. Mostly for walking
@@ProTechEpoxyFloors saw some ppl commenting on how the sole seems to shake a lot, but guessing you haven't felt that since your primary use is walking yea?
@@chesian I jog very little. 5 mph. I weigh 210 lbs. I never feel as though it shakes. Is it as steady as a commercial machine in a gym? No.
@@ProTechEpoxyFloors cool, thanks for sharing that. I'm the same weight so I'm gonna have a very similar use case as you 👍
The Horizon is quieter judging by this video.

The horizon is quieter because it has three pads. The Sole is like running outside for runners who like that feel of the ground.

What did you end up getting?
What is this high pitched sound from F63 ? annoying unless you use a headphone or something. Also it's very shaky
the Sole looks like a cheap toy from Temu in this demo compared to the Horizon.

Were you referring to sideways motion of the console? ..I have not run on a treadmill yet, Im choosing between these two of my 1st purchase. ..
just bought the horizon. very impressed. It was the quick response to incline and speed changes that tipped it in favor
Those quick adjustments really do make a difference 👌 thanks for sharing your insight!

does the sole come with feet levelers both on the front and back of the treadmill? i see the horizon comes with feet levelers on the front.

That's what I was thinking too. The horizon looks quite a bit more stable
good prices right now on the horizon too, I ust ordered one at $899.@@steveareeno65
Does anyone
Purchase either one of these? Do they shake?
@@jlmm4435 I bought the horizon 7.0 AT. I only use it for waling, not running, but it seems very stable to me.
No comment on the easy change controls on the Horizon?

You should listen properly.
sole > horizon
Why?
better quality@@fvvfvbbbb
You say this, but in all the purchase reviews I've been reading the Sole has way more issues. I was set on the Sole, but undecided now.
@@OaklandR1 I have the same problem...
@OaklandR1 soo what did you end up getting? Im ordering one of the two this weekend but im still undecided
