Treadmill Lifespan

[donotheprophet]

How long can a treadmill last with 4-5 days a week use? Sole F63 specifically. What type of costs can I expect to incur with wear and tear fixes.

Sole treadmills are sturdy and well-built. They feature a full lifetime warranty on the frame. You should be fine with 4-5 days of use on the Sole F63. Ongoing maintenance includes lubricating and adjusting the belt when needed. You should keep it free of dust and debris that can get caught in the rollers, and maybe cover it if you store it in a cold location (garage, basement, etc.). Otherwise, there isn't much maintenance unless you have a specific repair that is needed. We'd expect a Sole treadmill to last close to 10 years if treated correctly.

I had a ProForm Treadmill purchased in 2010 that lasted 12 years with regular belt adjustments and cleaning.  It remained quiet even without lubrication, however I am just learning about that need and will perform that maintenance step on my next treadmill.  The motor just burned out last week carrying a 325 lb. person who used it for 50 minutes daily during that past two months.
