Ellipticals?

Do the cheaper ones work just as well as the expensive ones?
If you have one, what kind is it, and do you recommend it?

I really want to get one when I get my income taxes, but I'm not sure if buying a cheaper one would be worth it, and I don't want to spend that much money to find out that it sucks lol

I have a gold's gym one that I got at walmart like 3-4 years ago or so. It runs off batteries and it cost me 277 when I got it. It works good enough for me and I like it.

I wish it had a plug so I could plug it in and wish it had it where I could enter my weight to see how much calories I'm actually burning but even without those features I still get a good workout. It also is still in really good condition even though I use it daily

Have you actually noticed a weight or size difference since using it? I've never been very active, but I love ellipticals. I have bad knees so a lot of other cardiovascular exercises won't work for me.

Yes it is how I lost 90 or so pounds after having my last baby. Well it wasn't the elliptical entirely alone. I did the 30 day shred along with 30 minutes on the elliptical everyday. I also would switch up on the elliptical and go walking/jogging at the park

Awesome, thank you  
I really have no motivation to exercise what so ever, but I need to do something. I'm pretty sure I would do it if I had an elliptical though, just because I like them so much. Even if it were just a little bit here and there I feel like it would be better for me than doing nothing.
Is yours very loud? I would have to do it when my daughter went to sleep, and it would have to be upstairs (that's where both of our bedrooms are), my floor is kind of squeaky so that makes me nervous as well.

its kinda loud when you are in the same room, but my kids don't hear it or anything. But my floors don't squeak so I don't know if your would be louder or not. Maybe putting some exercise mats or something under so maybe it will pad it from the floor and not cause it to squeak
