A general rule of thumb is that a person burns about 600 calories per hour on an elliptical. This varies greatly based on how intensely the person is working out, as well as the weight of the individual. The internet has a wide variety of web calculators to allow individuals to personalize calories burned based on their own weight and time exercised.
You can burn the highest amount of calories using the Bladez Elliptical Trainer. Elliptical machines such as the Bladez offers a total body workout with the highest amount of calories burned.

It depends on a variety of factors, including your age, weight, current fitness level, how high the resistance on the elliptical machine is set, how fast you are going... Just never trust what the machine tells you... they always over estimate.
It really depends on the pace your going.
So you burned 300 calories on the elliptical this morning? Great! But if you are adding up your calories to lose weight you need to know your Net calories burned, not your Gross calories. I won't get too into the technical/mathematical side of things, but here we go... Did you know that 3,500 calories equals one pound of fat? Well, if you are using exercise to burn those 3,500 calories you need to factor OUT what you would have burned if you did no activity during that time you exercised. Let's say, for example, your resting metabolic rate has you burning 80 calories per hour doing absolutely nothing. Yep, even while you are sleeping you are burning those calories. Now maybe instead of taking a nap for 1 hour you decide to go to the gym to workout. So you hop on the elliptical for an hour and burn 500 calories. You do this every day of the week and on the 7th day you weigh yourself expecting to have lost 1 pound since you burned 500 calories each day on the elliptical. Well, if you didn't notice any weight loss it might be because you didn't actually burn 3,500 calories more than you normally do. Multiply the 80 calories you would have burned sleeping during that hour each day by those 7 days (80 x 7), subtract it from 3,500 calories and you actually only burned 2,940 (NET) calories (560 calories short of burning enough to lose one pound). It may not seem like 80 calories not considered each day makes a big difference but over 365 days that is 29,200 calories - which equates to an additional 8 pounds that won't be lost each year if you forget to factor OUT the resting calories you would burn anyway. So do one to two more days of the elliptical, or whatever way you prefer to exercise, before weighing in after that first "week" and you should be close to losing that pound. Or burn 600 GROSS calories each hour/day doing exercise and you will be right around 3,500 additional calories burned per week. But hey, our bodies aren't perfect - they don't always follow the mathematical rules to weight loss- just be patient and give it time.
It will share your heart rate, the exercise program (numbered 1 through 9) that you chose to work on, as well as calories you burn. I believe there is a setting to customize your workout as well.
reading about it myself, one site say no calories and others say 350, video on youtube say up to 500... i think its fibs and no calories are actually burned !
I found a website that breaks down how to calculate that number of calories burned during a work out. Using water aerobics as the example, and the exercisers approximate body weight of 200 pounds, approximately 380 calories are burned in a one hour class with moderate intensity.
The safety risks when using a elliptical are the moving parts to the elliptical which can injure fingers while the elliptical is in use. Health risks for the elliptical would be not to use extensively if you are pregnant.
Using elliptical trainers puts less stress on knees than using treadmills.
If someone is swimming for 35 minutes just for fun, it will burn around 300 calories. If swimming using specialized strokes, it could burn up to 500 calories.
