I have osteoarthritis in my knees. I love this machine. I am doing 15 minutes now, but my goal is 30 minutes. Great alternative to the treadmill.

As a rule of thumb, most people burn around 100 calories per mile, wheather walking, running, etc... The elliptical is very close to that, but will burn more depending on the resistance... but usually you glide slower with more resistance so it all sort of evens out.

I have to say this is an excellent machine for cardio and weight loss. Like the video says, it's easy to use and easy on your joints.
