being cheap with fitness equipment is never a good idea because it often gurantees that you will never actually use it to achieve your fitness goals. you should find a specialty fitness store and participate in a trial membership at local gyms. this will help you identify what ellipticals you like best. they are all different because of patents. no one elliptical can provide a better work out than another. losing 20 pounds is easier than you could imagine. at a conservative pace it should only take 6 weeks tops. the best speed is to keep pushing your fitness level higher. so, if you can only maintain 6 mph continue to do so while always pushing yourself to hold 7 as long as you can.
I totally reccomend the Proform! Five Star!!! If you cannot afford a new machine. Go to a used sporting goods store (like play it again sports) I have the Elliptical and their tread mill. They are as good as the gym’s machine.
As far as speed, you will work your way up. You can add resistance as you go along. Remember you want to lose weight so don’t build muscle too much. I am losing weight very steady with 60 minutes a day on low resistance. I just focus on raising my heart rate for the duration. (at least this is working for me)
Good Luck
