"Best
Value for Treadmill with 22" Belt."
If
you are looking for a heavy duty treadmill with power to spare, and an extra 22"
wide belt, the Sole TT8 is an excellent choice. This treadmill is designed for
serious users. In addition to selling it for residential use, they offer the TT8 for
light commercial sales. Which means it is built to withstand constant abuse.
The
most unique feature is the 22" x 60" belt. If you are particularly tall,
or if you are a sprinter, the wider and longer belt will be appreciated. The 22"
was first introduced by True Fitness, and since then, several manufacturers have
developed their own models. True makes quality treadmill, but they are ridiculously
overpriced.
Note: The Sole TT8 is backordered until August 9th. Their Sole S77 is a good alternative. It does not have the 22" wide belt, but it sells for $400 less. Go to www.SoleTreadmills.com for the latest prices and availability.
With
the Sole TT8 treadmill you are getting better features at a considerable savings in
comparison to True. Check out the chart below:

Do
you need a 22" wide belt? With an extra couple of inches you feel less confined and run with a more natural gate. In addition, the 60" length
is ideal for interval training and heart pounding sprints. When you combined that
with a top speed of 12 mph and a 15% incline, you've got a machine that will prepare
you for any challenge.
Here
are some other features that distinguish this treadmill:
- 3.5
continuous duty hp motor. With a motor this size you always have power to
spare. This monster of a motor is ideal for sprinting and interval training.
- 3"
rollers.
As we mentioned in other reviews the larger the rollers the better. These are
the largest treadmill rollers you will find at any price range. Larger rollers
reduce wear, and extends the life of the rollers, motor, bearings and belt.
- The
Sole TT8 Treadmill weighs in at a hefty 300 lbs.,
guaranteeing a solid and stable feel. Just don't plan on moving it. In fact, if
you buy online you want to spend the extra $99 to have it moved indoors.
- The
Sole warranties are the best in the industry.
There are few companies offering a two-year service warranty, and the few that do, sell for considerably more. For two years you don't have to
worry about paying for repairs - that is a sweet deal. However, the reason Sole offers such a generous warranty is because their machines are low-maintenance and have an excellent service record.

Review
If
you are sold on a 22" belt, you're not going to find a better value. This is one of the most solid running machines on the market. When
combined with the 3.5 HP motor, 3" rollers and the generous warranty, this
treadmill is a bargain. And once again, you can't beat the two year service warranty.

Review I love my treadmill. I burn calories off
and look great, feel great and I even sleep better at night and my stress and
depression is going away. I don't even take medication anymore for two months
now for my depression. The treadmill has been my biggest answer not only to fitness,
but health mentally and physically. You can't go wrong with a treadmill...it's
your life that gets better without meds in my case.
Sincerely, Aldo
