Elliptical for rehab and weight loss.

I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos and suffered a major medical crisis in 2021 which caused severe chronic hip pain, but recently found out my knees are a mess.

They have a total of three meniscus tears and three cartilage tears, as well as osteoarthritis and degeneration, and I was told to lose weight, and walk or swim more. However, I hate walking, and I don’t live in the safest area, and no access to a place to swim, so thought about an elliptical which I have liked in the past when I tried.

I like the idea of an elliptical because it’s upright, and it gives a similar type of movement to walking. Sitting is very hard, so a bike would not be suitable.

I have been looking at the Bowflex Max Trainer M6 for just under $1300 CAD from the Tread Mill Factory in Canada but really not sure how one picks on, especially if they aren’t available to try in store.

Any suggestions for a beginner friendly model that’s doesn’t take up too much space?

And if you know about the Bowflex, would it be suitable?

I do not want to spend more than $1300CAD
