Quick answer. Most people with achy knees or hips don't need a different exercise so much as a different way to load it. Choose whichever of the options in the table lets you change resistance in the smallest steps available, so you can stay just under the angry threshold and still progress. Look for something that lets you load your hips while sparing your knees, because for a lot of people that split is the whole game.

What actually matters for knees and hips
"Joint-friendly" is a marketing word; control is the real one. Choose loading that moves in small increments, because a joint that tolerates a modest jump will often rebel at a large one. Choose a setup that lets you stop short of the painful angle rather than forcing a fixed path — partial range, done loaded and often, beats full range done once and regretted.
Then there's the getting-into-position tax, which nobody mentions. Confirm you can reach your start position and leave it without a deep bend, a drop to the floor or an awkward twist, since that transition is where knees and hips usually complain first. Verify the base stays planted when you shift your weight, because bracing against something wobbly loads your joints in ways you didn't choose. Look for a seat and backrest you can set to your own leg length, and ask about adjustment steps if you're very tall or very short.
Finally, think in patterns. Hip hinging loads the glutes and hamstrings while asking little of the knee; knee-dominant work can often be kept shallow and heavy-ish instead of deep and light. Compare your options on how easily they let you load both patterns without rearranging your whole room.

Should I avoid squats and lunges completely?
Usually not. Choose a shallower range and a load you control, and reassess over weeks rather than days.
Is heavier weight bad for arthritic knees?
Load itself isn't the villain; uncontrolled jumps in load are. Compare the options in the table on how finely you can step resistance up and down.
Do I need somewhere to sit, or is the floor fine?
Confirm you can get up off the floor comfortably — if that's the hard part, a seated option removes the worst of your session.
How do I know it'll fit me and my space?
Verify the footprint against your actual floor area, not your estimate of it, and check adjustment ranges against your own height before ordering.
