Tony Little's Gazelle Edge

Yes, I watch the occasional infomercial.

Far fewer than I did before we had cable, though.

Got one for birthday from a couple of super uncles & aunts (thanks, guys!).

It was easy to assemble, easy to use, not so easy for me to fold it up, but that could have something to do with a lack of coordination...

It does say that it does not need to be oiled, but using some WD-40 helps stop the squeaks.

Really easy to use, it is just gliding. Problems: Easy to get bored, no way to increase resistance that I can figure out, no place for me to set remote;)

Doing a mile had no perceptible impact, but legs hurt after doing 2.5 miles. Then again, I am a wimp.

It's a nice, easy way to get off your keister & feel like you have done something mildly athletic.

Landice L7 Treadmill

Easy to read displays, big plus when you have bleary-morning eyes.
Good programs-- you can modify speeds/elevation in the pre-programed work-outs.
You don't have to use pre-programmed, you can set your own speed & elevation, changing is easy.
Personal note- the Intervals program kicks my butt. You go from strolling to running at maximum elevation, SO exhausting.
