Comment:
I use my S77 to help me stay in shape. I run 3-4 miles every other morning. One of the things I love about my treadmill is that I can plug my radio into the speakers and listen to Focus on the Family or other inspirational radio stations. I like to start my day in prayer and then start running while I listen to the words of GOD being ministered to me via radio.

No support from manufacturer

Comment:
I bought the Sole 77 as it was a CR best buy. It has not worked right since day one, despite paying $250 for 'professional' set up. The wiring is faulty as one day the speakers don't work, the next the heart rate monitor and then the display. The belt doesn't stay centered and the protective cover on the bottom hits the belt and is very noisy. Despite numerous calls and messages to Sole they never followup and have not fixed anything. It took 10 days just to get a work order. But no follow up in the promised time. I am now disputing the charge with my credit card company.<br />I have given one star as I can't give zero. Do not buy this product for the lack of manufacturer support alone!
