I recommend Nordic Track from Sears. They are always on sale and likely at a smoking deal right now. I have a bike, treadmill and an elliptical. I would recommend a treadmill plunked in front of a TV over an elliptical. The bike is great for those days that you have no desire to work out. The elliptical rarely gets used.
I agree with spending at least a grand to get a decent machine. The cheap flimsy stuff never lasts. You don't want to be thinking about all the creaking noises and wobbling while using a cheap machine.
