How accurate are the calorie counters on exercise equipment?

My exercise equipment has calories counters on them...You enter your weight and your height and age and it updates you with how many calories you've burned.

I realize these things can never been completely accurate and it's just an estimate. But how close to accurate are they? Because I use my exercise bike for 20 minutes going 20mph and it says I've burned 350 calories. The reason I'm skeptical is because it just doesn't seem that hard. Sure, I sweat, but I'm not like worn out or anything. So I wouldn't think I'd just burned 350 calories.

How accurate are these things?
