Hey, I have a Reebok Cross Trainer and my friend has a treadmill. We both prefer my cross trainer. Lol.

I usually bring it in to the lounge and watch a film whilst on it. I hate 'running' and feeling like I am getting nowhere. Lol.

I also vot for cross-trainer. You'll get more benefits at a slower pace than on a treadmill, also more variety of exercise (backward/forward, upper/lower body)

I have a cross trainer! Its better cos u get a full body wrkout! And can tone up by increasing the level.. Also less impact on joints..

Did you decide what you wanted?
I have a treadmill and I love it.
In terms of which machine burns the most calories, it's about the same.
So, just buy the one you will actually use!
Good luck!

Depends what you want from your workouts.

Id go with treadmill, i want the fitness levels that come from running, learning how to better times running, learning how to run for longer distances.

Personally if looking at toning, your better off doing other things off the machine to better the results.

Iv got knee problems and iv just switched my bike for a cross trainer and no more pain. When stationary cycling I used to get knee pain and clicky knees, now I can go for 35mins fine on cross trainer and no problems I put the tv on too and work out in the living room
