The main differences between the SOLE F80 Vs. the F85 are: The F85 is heavier duty, and has a 10-inch color HD touchscreen built-in with Wifi and Apps and screen mirroring. The F85 provides 18 built-in workouts vs. 10 on the F80, and provides 7 fit tests. The F80 has a 9.0 inch traditional monochrome backlit LCD screen. The F85 is superior to the F80 in several ways. The F85 has a heavier duty motor (4.0 HP vs. 3.75HP), more workout programs (18 vs. 10), added military fit tests, higher Maximum User weight (400lbs. vs. 375lbs), and wider running track. Both models come with an excellent warranty (better than most treadmills). The Sole Treadmills also have high consumer ratings. Below is a comparison chart of the differences between the two treadmill models.

Sole F85 Control Console with 10-inch Color HD Touchscreen. 18 workout programs. Tablet holder with USB charging port. Wifi Enabled with Apps.
SOLE F80 Vs. F85 Console Comparison: The 10-inch color HD touchscreen of the F85 is superior to the SOLE’s 9-inch monochrome screen, and is capable of running fitness Apps, as well as Youtube and Netflix. The SOLE F80 has 10 built-in programs, while the F85 has 18, plus 7 fitness tests (including military fit tests). Both consoles are backlit (ideal for dimly lit rooms). Both consoles are Bluetooth® enabled , but the only the SOLE F85 has WiFi capability. The F85 also enables screen mirroring from your phone or tablet. For safety, both have an emergency stop button, and cord.
Bottom Line: The Sole F85 is a heavier duty folding treadmill, that offers a larger 4.0 HP motor, higher user weight, and a 10-inch touchscreen with built-in APPS and Wifi capable. The F85 has more built-in programs (18) and added fit tests. A wireless heart strap is included on the F85, while optional on the F80. Both treadmills have a running belt that is 22-inches (wider than most treadmills). Although more expensive, we favor the F85. Both have excellent warranties.
The Sole models have higher consumer ratings and higher max user weight rating than most treadmills. Either treadmill will provide a solid workout for all users, including taller users (wide and long running belt), and is great for runners.
