Further down the page, you’ll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Sole TT8 and the Sole F80.
But before checking out explanations regarding their specs and features here’s a table that summarizes the main technical summary sheet for these 2 treadmills:
Specs Comparison
What should you consider when choosing a treadmill? The most concerning factor to look for when shopping for a treadmill is pricing. In this competition, Sole Fitness F80 is the winner because it is $1,200 cheaper than the Sole TT8.
With a higher price, obviously, the Sole TT8 can support up to 400-pound users, so it’s an excellent trainer for obese people and the overweight as well. On the other hand, the Sole F80 is only rated for users weighing up to 375 pounds.
Although the Sole TT8 and F80 feature differences in price and weight capacity, both share the same number of workout programs. To be specific, they have ten built-in workout programs inclusive of 6 standard programs, two user-defined, and two heart workouts.
In order to support a heavier user capacity, as mentioned above, the Sole TT8 and F80 treadmill have a 22 by 60 inches running surface
Speaking of power, featuring a strong 4.0 HP motor, the TT8 generates 12 MPH power, while the Sole Fitness F80 offers a continuous-duty 3.5 HP motor. As a result, the F80 treadmill is quieter than the Sole TT8 when it comes to measuring the noise level.
In terms of incline range, two treadmills own a similar 15% maximum. The Sole TT8 has a wide range of inclines from -6% to 15%, while the Sole F80 incline range is about 0-15%.
What is the top speed of two treadmills? The Sole TT8 reaches a higher top speed of 12 MPH than the 11 MPH speed of the F80.
When you reach the maximum speed, both Sole TT8 and F80 incorporate cooling fans. In detail, the built-in fan placed at the top of the console blows cool air toward your face and neck for your comfortable feeling.
When users demand to calculate their heart rate, they can use the heart rate monitor integrated into the trainers. The Sole F80 monitor includes a pulse grip and wireless chest strap. On the contrary, although the Sole TT8 does come with a handgrip and chest strap, the chest strap is separately purchased from the machine.
Now, let’s take a look at their dimensions. The TT8 features 78 x 36 x 58 inches and the F80 is 82 x 36 x 16.5 inches.
When comparing the weight of Sole TT8 and F80, it turns out that the F80 is much lighter than the TT8. Particularly, the Sole TT8 has a shipping weight of 355 pounds, while the F80 weighs 250 pounds.
It seems that the heavy shipping weight can become an obstacle when changing treadmill placement, but don’t worry because they are both equipped with front and rear rollers. The TT8 has 3.0″ rollers at the front and back, and the F80 features 2-3/4 inches rollers, so users can easily move them around the room.
One disappointment with the TT8 is that this is not a foldable treadmill. However, this convenience is available on the cheaper one, Sole F80, which can be folded up with the Easy Assist folding feature integrated.
Features Comparison
In order to track specifications like speed, incline, control cooling fan, or view workout programs mentioned above, you can easily keep tabs on your workout session through a console display. In this department, the TT8 has a vibrant 10.1″ LCD screen display with responsive input buttons, and the F80 comes with a smaller 7.5 inch backlit blue LCD screen.
Besides, one more important convenient feature is the audio speaker. Both have two built-in speakers, which allow runners to listen to their media without utilizing headphones. Moreover, other extras on both include a USB port, audio jack, and Wifi connection.
Is there a fitness app to track workouts? Obviously, yes. Sole Fitness is a mobile workout app to contact treadmills via Bluetooth. This fitness app is compatible with most iOS and Android devices. It allows you to record your exercise data while using other apps on your mobile phone, so you can sync all that data to FitBit, Apple Health, and other fitness apps.
Furthermore, Sole TT8 and F80 treadmills feature extra storage space. The TT8 is designed with four device/water bottle holders and one larger central holder. Apart from the side cup holders, the Sole F80 stands out for the integrated tablet holder for convenient multitasking and entertainment.
When buying a Sole F80 treadmill, you get a lifetime warranty on the motor, deck, and frame. Additionally, the Sole offers five years warranty on electronics, belts, rollers, and other wear components; two years warranty on labor. Meanwhile, the Sole TT8 offers a lifetime warranty on frame, a 3-year guarantee on motor, deck, electronics, and wear items, and 1-year labor.
