Hi all, HELP!
I am looking to buy an eliptical machine but there is so much out there and big price range I am lost.
Have you purchased one, what did you buy, what did you think the most important feature is? How happy were you with the results of using the machine? I have been told it is easy on the knee's and gives a whole body work out as oposed to walking.
The prices are from $200-$1500+. Don't have much to spend, so really want to get the most for my money.

I have the Proform elliptical 825, If I remember correctly, I got it at Sears for about $350-400. I didn't want to spend a fortune on an elliptical, being I do frequent the gym.  To me, it's fine, I feel the burn. I believe it can be built a bit sturdier, it's definitly not one of the top grade machines, but I've used it quite a bit and it's still going strong.  Nothing to fancy with any gadgets, has a fan, and all. For me, it was worth it.

I have a Bremshey Orbit Ambition that I bought about 4 years ago (in Canada) for $899.00.  It's a great machine, but I recently fell in love with a Tunturi that I saw in ashowroom but they want $1799.00 for it.
