I have a weslo cardio glide plus. I think the plus is that the handle can be changed from a push mechanism to a pull. I like it but got bored with it. It does have 9 settings to make it harder and the seat adjusts as well. It does give a good work out though. Mine also has a monitor on it to kep track of distance, time, cals and such. You will see results I believe if you stick with it. if you really want one I think it would be a good choice. Mine was about 200$ I think 4 yrs. ago when they first became so popular. Don't know what the going rate is. Good luck.
