We finally settled on a model from Sears that I fell in love with because it can fold up.
Please ignore the chaos in the background of those shots. To put it mildly, we are lacking a bit in storage space.
Naturally, Steve had to assemble the thing while I helpfully watched.
One cool thing about this particular elliptical is that instead of throwing the small parts (bolts, screws, etc.) into a bag and letting you guess their intended purpose, there was actually a cardboard toolbox of sorts included where each type of part was divided up and a sheet was provided labeling the contents.I guess now I should… I don’t know… maybe use it or something…

Hey, that almost qualifies as a Transformer.
We used to have an exercise machine that was a transformer - most of the time it lived its life as a clothes tree.
Any recommendations on a good rowing machine? Especially one that's quiet and can fit under a bed???
I have been quite happy with my rower, it has a fan for resistance (it’s an Integrity 3000 http://www.amazon.com/Integrity-Air-Rowing-Machine-3000/dp/B0000AT1QZ) But the fan makes it neither quiet nor compact.
To get that you would have to get one that uses air pistons. The first rower I had was a piston one. You'll get noise from air escaping the pistons and the seat sliding on the track, but its not bad. Here's an example :(http://www.amazon.com/Stamina-35-1205-1205-Precision-Rower/dp/B000AMRN44/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1202265726&sr=1-3)
These actually give a little bit more accurate feel as the arms are independent like they are on a scull. The one I had worked fine until one day the plastic knuckle that attached the piston and arm exploded. I say exploded because we were finding pieces a month after it happened.
