Further down the page, you’ll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Horizon 7.8 AT and the Sole F85.
But before checking out explanations regarding their specs and features here’s a table that summarizes the main technical summary sheet for these 2 treadmills:
Specs Comparison
When comparing the price, you can see that Sole F85 is 1000$ higher than Horizon 7.8 AT. Despite the price difference, both machines offer 10 built-in programs for users.
Regarding weight limits, Horizon 7.8 AT is capable of supporting 350 lbs, while the Sole F85 can handle a maximum user capacity of up to 400 lbs.
When it comes to the running surface, Horizon 7.8 AT and Sole F85 have run surface sizes of 22″x60″
Both treadmills reach the max speed at 12 miles per hour that help to adjust the speed swiftly and effortlessly. Horizon 7.8 AT and Sole F85 use a basic motor that can deliver 4.0 HP power to the machine. The only difference is that you can use the QuickDial controller to manipulate a Horizon 7.8 AT.
Regarding the incline levels, both machines provide a wide range of automated inclines from 0% to 15% each. The manufacturer also added a pair of roller-style controllers for Horizon 7.8 AT to enhance the customer experience.
There is one thing that most users do not like about Sole F85 is the fan. It is very weak and may only work well with gentle exercise. Horizon 7.8 AT also has a cooling fan, but it seems to work better compared to its rival, as there are still no bad comments about this feature.
Both the F85 and 7.8 AT provide a wireless Bluetooth chest strap that can display the exact heart rate and fitness trackers on the touch screen.
When it comes to the dimensions of both treadmills, there are also some significant differences. To be specific, the Sole F85 measures 85.43 x 37.01 x 17.32 inches and weighs 265 pounds, while Horizon 7.8 AT is 76 x 37 x 64 inches in size and 331 pounds in weight.
Besides, both trainers have an easy folding system with wheels for space-saving when you do not use them.
Features Comparison
On the plus side of the Sole F85, there are speed and incline buttons up and down the console with the incline levels at 0.5 increments. However, some users find it slow to change speed, and there is no button for each speed on the console.
In contrast, the speed and incline on Horizon 7.8 AT can be changed faster, at 0.1 increments at speed and 0.5 at incline when you roll the dial.
The Bluetooth functionality on the Horizon lineup allows users to connect to their mobile phones. You can change your built-in program and control the LED console on the trainer as well. Like the Horizon 7.8 AT, the Sole F85 also offers Bluetooth speaker compatibility.
Both machines offer a fan system, but not powerful enough to be of much use. It works well for gentle exercise like walking or jogging.
Besides available programs on the treadmill, you can also sync external fitness apps via Bluetooth. You can keep track of the metrics on the treadmill while still using the health app on the phone. The only drawback is the slow loading programs on both treadmills.
Unfortunately, both brands lack an HD touch screen. Instead, they offer an LCD black and white screen that displays all necessary digital numbers. The only difference is that the Horizon visual display is slightly larger than the Sole F85, at 9.3 inches and 6.5 inches, respectively.
With the Horizon 7.8 AT, there are two pockets beside the console to hold a water bottle, key, phone, etc. The console in Sole F63 is spacious and has a lot of compartments, which can also fit a bunch of your stuff.
