I looked into them a while back.
Realised pretty much what was said above - you need to spend a lot of money to get one worth having. And you need a ton of space too. Take what looks like a good one... and double it. So I took a different approach. I now have a 20kg cast iron dumbell set and I've got a basic but sturdy bench coming my way soon. It seems there are a lot of exercises you can do with that setup which allow toning of almost every muscle group.
I will pick up another dumbell set as some exercises need a lower weight and I can't be arsed to faff about changing weights on my bars all the time.

As above really, if you want to spend big then fine. Otherwise look at a bench (one that allows you to use it as an incline/decline bench is a big bonus, and adds a lot of options) and get a dumbell set that goes up to a decent weight. There's more than enough exercises that can be done with your own body weight + a set of dumbells and a bench.

Yoga, dancing, then boxing with small lose weights....soon gets the sweat pouring off red hot shoulders 
.. stretching and warming up is a big part of toning/working everything else too.

yep pretty much what has already been said, I looked at this last year as I feel weights have been instrumental in helping me tone with the 5 1/2 stone loss but in the end I got a barbell and dumbells with weights and use my surroundings or do routines that do not require a bench so much.
aside from that sit ups, lunches and a few yoga poses have really helped, 5 1/2 stone in less than 6 months I was really worried about sagging and I still have a bit around my tum to sort but my upper body and bum, thighs, legs are superb, best I have ever been.
