Common to both models are high power 4.0 HP motors, 400 lb. weight capacity, built-in speakers & fan, Grip & Heart Telemetry, long running Deck, up to 12 MPH, and 15% powered incline. Both are Bluetooth enabled. Both have a new larger 15.6-inch HD Touchscreen, with built-in Apps. Both also have a -6% decline grade which simulates downhill running and builds up different muscles and both have a 15% max incline grade.
The main differences between the SOLE F85 Vs. the TT8 are: The TT8 is a heavier duty commercial model and is (non-folding and sturdier) while the F85 folds up. The TT8 has larger rollers (3-inch vs. 2.5-inch). 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 Vs. TT8 Console Comparison: Except from having a fixed frame, being a commercial model, and slightly stronger, both treadmills are almost identical. Both have the new 15.6-inch touchscreen, that displays your progress and built-in programs, plus can activate Apps for fitness or entertainment. Both have speakers, heart monitoring (grip and wireless telemetric), and a workout fan. Unique to both is a decline grade to simulate walking/running downhill. Both consoles are Bluetooth® enabled to connect to wireless heart telemetry and Bluetooth audio speakers . For safety, both have an emergency stop button, and cord.
Bottom Line: The TT8 offers a slightly stronger heavier fixed frame (non-folding), larger 3-inch rollers Both treadmills have a running belt that is 22-inches (wider than most treadmills). The TT8 is a light commercial model, built to last longer and is heavier duty than the residential F85. We believe the F85 offers more bang for the buck, and is cheaper than the TT8.
The Sole models have higher consumer ratings and higher max user weight rating than most treadmills. Both models have a Tablet holder& USB charging port. Either treadmill will provide a solid workout for all users, including taller users (wide and long running belt), and is great for runners.
Sole F85 has 22 workout programs: 10 preset, 12 custom; includes Military Fitness Tests, Heart pulse grips & Heart Telemetric Strap included.
Sole TT8 has 22 workout programs: 10 preset, 12 custom; includes Military Fitness Tests, Heart pulse grips & Heart Telemetric Strap included.
