Exercise machines for home

I used to run quite a bit, happily doing 10k a couple of times a week and was reasonably fit and healthy. Then I got Covid and now I have chest pains on occasion which make me nervous about going too far from home. So now I'm fat and unfit and fed up so my FABULOUS DH has built me a shed in the garden in which I can put up to two exercise machines. I am currently moving towards a spin bike and a cross-trainer. I'm not someone who is overly concerned about anything beyond burning calories and working up a sweat and I've always enjoyed those when I've gone to the gym. I need to find something that I can use daily, that doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, that is comfy and is not synced up to some expensive subscription tat. I would really like to avoid spending more than £1000 in total BUT for the perfect machines I would consider it. Recommendations please!

Right - I'm back. Does anyone have an air cycle? I like that you move your arms as well as your legs. Looking at this one:

That seems a very good price! I don’t have an air bike but I have used different ones at gyms. They vary in intensity, some are tougher than others. They are good for short bursts of high intensity but I don’t think you could do a spin class on one. I like the option of the foot rests for upper body only. They are great for high intensity exercise and increasing fitness. Is there a gym you could use locally for a session to try one? Also, the comfort of the seats vary greatly!
