Horizon 7.0 AT review

On paper the Horizon 7.0 AT matches the Sole F63 almost spec for spec: 3.0 CHP, a 20″ × 60″ deck, 0-15% incline, 325 lb capacity and a lifetime frame-and-motor warranty with three years of parts. In use it is a noticeably different machine, for one reason: QuickDial.

What QuickDial actually changes

Speed and incline are controlled by two physical rollers under your thumbs on the handlebars. You roll, the machine moves. There is no tapping a number and waiting, no finding a button on a console below your sightline while running at 8 mph.

If your training is steady-state, this is a convenience. If your training is intervals — thirty seconds hard, ninety easy, repeat — it is the difference between a machine that cooperates and one that fights you. It is the single best argument for this treadmill over any other at the price.

The rest of the specification

Horizon publishes a 7.25″ high-contrast LCD with eight preset programs, Bluetooth connectivity to Zwift, Peloton and Nike Run Club, and a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor with three years on parts and one on labor. It folds, though the mechanism is stiffer than Sole's hydraulic assist.

The subscription position, which is the other headline

Horizon does not sell a subscription for this machine. The Bluetooth broadcast means your cadence and speed appear in whichever app you already pay for — or in nothing, if you prefer the console. Against a connected treadmill at the same price, that is several hundred dollars a year of difference. See the best treadmills without a subscription.

Where it loses

• No touchscreen. At this money, iFIT machines ship one. We think the trade is correct; you may not.
• Stiffer fold. Sole's hydraulic assist is better if you fold daily.
• Firmer deck. The T202's three-zone cushioning is kinder on long runs than the 7.0 AT's deck is.

Buy this or the Sole F63?

Intervals: the Horizon. Steady distance and daily folding: the Sole. They are within a hundred dollars of each other and both are excellent. We set them side by side in Sole F63 vs Horizon 7.0 AT.
