The F 83 is considered an upper price range home treadmill at $1800. It has a 20" by 58" running surface which makes it a practical treadmill for those people 6' and over. Its cushioned deck and vibration free running surface makes workout lower impact than on many treadmills. The 2.75 rollers deliver a smooth and quiet run.

This treadmill comes with 6 pre programmed workouts, a Tri-colored LCD, arm rest, speed and incline controls, a display that shows you speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories burned, pulse and pace. There is also a wireless heart monitor strap and it comes with a lifetime warranty on the 3.0 horsepower motor, frame and deck and a five year warranty on the electronics belt and roller and 2 years service.

The major disadvantage the f 83 seems to be that there is not that much difference between this Sole treadmill and the f 80. The one major difference seems to be the length of the deck which makes this model a better buy for taller people.

Consumers who have purchased this product have reviewed it very high. Some of the comments about features they like included the good manual that made set up easy and that it was great for people who were six feet tall or taller.
