Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer?

Does anyone use this small compact elliptical? I am thinking about getting it to use while i watch TV? Do you like it, does it give you a good work out, etc?

Thank you for any thoughts on the machine!

I have it and use it to supplement other at home exercises to get my heart rate going.

Because of tendonitis in my foot, I can't walk for exercise and this machine helps me. I am not sure what the calorie burn is, although I log it as a stationary bike when using it in the stand up position. I keep a chair nearby for safety when using it in the standup position. It can be used sitting down, too, which is good to be doing something sitting down, but I would not consider the sitting down position to be a substantial calorie burn.

Overall, for the initial investment of $140 (StaminaE1000 ($100), kettlebells($25) and hand weights ($15)) used with free online workouts at Prevention and other sites are helping me with at home workouts.
