Well, I only made it to the third step in the assembly process before I lacerated my thumb and required (3) stitches. So, I don't have experience using the machine, but I have experience putting it together, and I'm not impressed with what's required for assembly. The plastic on the sides that covers the arm mounting areas is held in place with little "clip nuts" that are extremely difficult to get lined up and difficult to thread the bolt into. I'm a mechanical engineer, I design assemblies like this for a living, and I'm fairly good at it. Perhaps some of the difficulty was that we are installing the treadmill on carpet making reaching the threaded locations nearly impossible, but can easily think of 100 different ways to attach these side covers without the ridiculous low precision method the Chinese engineers with Sole came up with. If you plan to purchase one of these, be sure to add $50 to the cost for the potential emergency room visit.
That being said, ours came with a free Vuze TV & Stand, so I'm still ahead assuming I can one day soon get it put together and don't incur any additional injuries!Get more detail about Sole F63 Treadmill.
