tldr; The Woodway 4Front is highly recommended for its wonderful feel, durability, low maintenance, and joint-friendliness; refurbished units offer good value.

Best praise vs top criticism for Woodway 4Front
“Thank you for the detailed reply. Are you aware of a twice annual maintenance requirement for the Woodway? From other comments supposedly there's only three techs available in New York for these treadmills so I hate that I'd be at the mercy of their pricing for such regular maintenance. I skimmed through parts of their user manual and think I saw a mention of an annual maintenance but was hoping to clarify if I could get a sales rep on the phone. I'm also hoping to get more details on this Vive product they have coming out. A 4Front with a slightly smaller footprint sounds very appealing. And if they get the price down to the 10k-ish mark it would be fantastic. I'm also trying to get info on the refurbished treadmills from them, I called yesterday (granted it was NYE) and nobody picked up, will try again tomorrow. Your notes about the 3G Cardio parts availability vs most of these other brands is what gives me the most pause though in this decision. If 3G goes out of business, then I'm completely SOL on parts. If Life Fitness goes out of business at least there are a bunch of these treadmills floating around already so there should be solid third party support.”
