They both are heavy duty folding treadmills for runners and taller users, and have a wider running belt.

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).

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.

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).
