The main differences between the SOLE F80 Vs. the F85 are: The F85 is heavier duty, and has a larger 15.6-inch color HD touchscreen built-in with Wifi and Apps and screen mirroring. The F80 has a smaller 10.1 inch touchscreen vs. the larger 15.6-inch touchscreen on the F85. The F85 is superior to the F80 in several ways. The F85 has a heavier duty motor (4.0 HP vs. 3.50HP), higher Maximum User weight (400lbs. vs. 350lbs), and wider running track. Another key difference is the F85 has a negative decline feature (up to -6) which simulates walking downhill. 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 F80 Vs. F85 Console Comparison: The 15.6-inch color HD touchscreen of the F85 is 54% larger than the F80 10.1-inch touchscreen , and is capable of running fitness Apps, as well as Youtube and Netflix. Both consoles are backlit (ideal for dimly lit rooms). Both consoles are Bluetooth® enabled with 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 15.6-inch touchscreen with built-in APPS and Wifi capable. Only the F85 has a decline grades that simulates walking or running downhill and activates other muscle groups. 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. Both have 22 workout programs built-in., no subscriptions to pay.
Unlike treadmills with subscriptions like iFit that have monthly fees, the SOLE treadmills not only have free built in workouts, but also has a free APP with hundreds of extra workout programs. Many other brands of treadmills only have a Manual Mode that is free.
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.
