...or not. Sorry, I have no answer to your question. That probably belongs in the workout equipment hall of shame, actually. Heading that way.

Their frequently asked questions are killing me. Labelled question #1 and question #3. Who knows where #2 went...
"The ROM360 makes for an ideal employee wellness program where employees are allowed to take a 4 minute exercise break during the day. No showers are needed and no special clothes."
"Despite its very high price,..."
" Also, why is most other exercise equipment so useless? Exercise equipment that requires more than 4 minutes is not used by people. Only 8% of home exercise equipment is used. The 92% of home exercise equipment that is never used is useless because it is not used. The exactly 4 minute per day highly effective ROM360 exercise is used because it only requires 4 minutes of discipline."
Expect my review in the next few weeks. I ordered two! That's only 8 minutes a day of exercise without sweating or special clothes.
Edit: A serious answer for OP. The quickest and easiest way to burn calories is to not eat them in the first place. It will even save you time! If burning calories and losing fat is your only goal, try calculating and tracking your calories. There's a specific number of calories you need daily to maintain your current bodyweight, eating over that caloric maintenance number will increase your weight, eating less calories than that maintenance number will decrease your bodyweight. No need to spend 45 minutes on a treadmill to burn 300 calories each day when you can just not eat those 300 calories in the first place.
There's loads of calorie calculators online if you're interested.
If that sounds like a familiar system, it is! Weight watchers created it for dumb people who would rather pay for them to assign a number like 4 to a chicken breast and a daily limit of 22 points to eat, instead of you calculating 400 calories per chicken breast and a 2200 daily caloric maintenance level for free! (Just an example, numbers are likely way off)Last edited by trimble006; 04-25-2013 at 10:48 PM.

I'd say a CII rower if you really push yourself. Engages lots of muscle groups, not just mostly legs aspst cardio stuff...

C'mon people! A unicycle.
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

Since 'burning' calories is all about increasing your heart rate and then maintaining that increased rate for a specific time, just about any piece of cardio equipment will work the same as any other.
If your plan is to try to "burn" body fat by doing endless hours of CV exercise (good luck with that plan), pick the piece of equipment you hate the least.Last edited by ironwill2008; 04-26-2013 at 01:48 PM.
No brain, no gain.
"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

The adjustable barbell. Resistance training has a longer effect on the body than aerobic training, doesn't it? Resistance training builds muscle. Muscle requires calories to maintain. Your "engine runs hotter" for longer.
If you're thinking that aerobic exercise is going to "melt the fat," you're better off just dieting.

Sled, Prowler, etc. Load it and slice 1 minute of full tilt work into whatever you want (4x15, 6x10, 2x30, 3x20). Rest as needed to go full out next effort. Do another minute if you want. If you can finish two minutes in under a 1/2 hour and can still push hard, you aren't working hard enough.
Failing that, just go do something hard.Last edited by GarageIron; 04-26-2013 at 09:18 PM.

According to the article "Myths, Presumptions, and Facts about Obesity" in New England Journal of Medicine. The average is 14 Calories. ...but they might be doing it wrong.

You have to have a subscription to read the article but there was a news report in Forbes (among others) about the article
