My True PS100 seems to have met an end. It has around 6 1/2 years of pretty steady use. My guess is somewhere around 7-8k miles. It has an electrical issue and probably also needs a new belt. A few repair folks have estimated that depending on what’s wrong, it could be $500-1000 to fix.

That leaves me not really wanting to dump a lot of money into an older treadmill. I’ve loved the True, and it worked perfectly for the entire time I’ve had it. In terms of replacement, I’d love another treadmill that could last that long without any issues.

I’m considering a bunch of options, but it seems that Sole has a pretty good reputation, especially with their long warranty on frame, motor and deck. I’m looking at the S77 and TT8, as they seem more sturdy than the folding versions. I’m also looking at other brands, including another True and low end Precor.

For those who have Sole treadmills, is the lower price worth it for what you get? I really don’t like the idea of integrated speakers and fan, as that’s just a problem waiting to break. Sell or don’t sell me on a Sole. Thanks!!!
