Treadmills

Sorry Lavy, but I know way too many people who buy those things, and they let them sit after a few weeks. (If that)

Walking around the block a few times is out, I guess?
 
With your knee you should definietly go with something as low impact as possible. Just talk to the people at the store and see what the suggest. An ellipitical machine, step machine or exercise bike might be better.
 
Get a bicycle.much more versatility since you can ride it outdoors in the spring and summer.For winter you can buy a "trainer" that you hook to the bike and make it as good as a spinning cycle they got at gyms.

for the trainer go to www.tacx.nl it's the cycleforce one that I recommend,got one myself.

As for bikes,well each to his/her own.Check with a nearby specialized store and they'll help you out I'm sure.
It's low impact and even though a good new bike costs a bit it'll last you for a long long time with proper maintenance.
 
I would suggest a cross trainer. Low impact, easy on the knee's, strengthens calves, thighs, etc. I use one at the gym. I will check the make and model if you would like.

Any advice about indoor products?

I can only suggest cycling again as that's what I know and what I do myself now that it's getting colder than a witches tit.

There are of course dedicated indoor bikes,but that takes a bit of space and limits you if you'd want to go out for a ride.
 
I will be in and out this week, then a mini vacation.

I will check Monday, and PM you if you want.. or post if the thread is still up front.
