Anyone been pleasantly surprised by long-lasting gym equipment?

My humble home-use treadmill has over 8,000 miles on it. Several years ago I snagged a Free Motion 730 from Costco for about $800 and have been thrilled with its reliability. It's not fancy and doesn't come with any bells and whistles but it's an absolute workhorse. I've replaced the belt just once and that's the only maintenance it has ever needed.
I know we get frustrated by gym equipment breaking down prematurely but what trusty workout gear has lasted the test of time for you?

Pretty much all of mine has but I live by the motto, buy once, cry once so all of my stuff is used top of the line equipment.

I've owned a Life Cycle 9500HR bike for about 20 years and have used it consistently 3-5x/week and aside from replacing the battery a few times (about $25) it is still going strong and is in great shape.

That is pretty awesome.

Does a weight belt that I’ve used for over 30 years count?
I don’t use it that much these days, but it still stays in my truck for whenever I need it in the gym.

Have had my pullup bar for like 25 years. Must have done 1,000 pullups on that thing!

My crappy CAP barbell has lasted over a year.

I have a folding Rogue wall mount rack that is awesome. Cost a bit more than I wanted to spend, but the use I get from it and it's versatility has been well worth it.
