We got a ProForm XP110 from Sears about six months ago... only like $400. I didn't want to spend too much for it because I didn't know how much we'd use it.
Six months later -- I rarely use it - much rather run outside. BUT my wife loves it, uses it 45 min. four times per week and it works every bit as good as more expensive ones (so far).
I think that model was recently discontinued but they show up on Ebay and craigslist.
