Is the Sole F80 worth $1,150.99 more?

Which has better shopper ratings?

Yes. Both are foldable, and the Sole F80 adds transport wheels.

Which is easier to assemble?

The NordicTrack's assembly is not described in the listing. Sole F80 owners report hard-to-reach screws and poor instructions, so budget extra time or pay for assembly.

Sole F80 Treadmill vs NordicTrack Commercial 1250 Treadmill

The NordicTrack Commercial 1250 is the better buy for most shoppers. It costs $349.00 at Alpine Outlets as of November 7, 2026, against $1,499.99 for the Sole F80 at DICK'S Sporting Goods. The Sole F80 is the sturdier machine, with a 350 lb capacity, a 20x60 inch deck and a 10.1 inch touchscreen, so pick it only if you want a heavy-duty running deck and will pay roughly four times the price.
