After spending much time looking at many different Elliptical's and reading all the reviews, I decided to take a chance on the newer Schwinn model 420 over the 430. Its been in use now for 2 weeks by both my wife and I,(6 times a week) and I'm very happy with my choice.
The shipping by via ABF was very fast (4 days) and they called ahead to set up a delivery time. The weight of the 420 in approximately 160lb, so have some help ready if you think you need it. I had the box in the basement and the 420 put together in a little more than 2 hours by myself. Tools are included if you don't happen to have any of your own. Socket wrenches and a screw driver make it a little faster. I lubricated all moving parts during assembly, this machine makes no noise what so ever while it is in use and is very sturdy. ( Lets remember, this is a machine with moving parts and most all moving parts need lubricated from time to time!) I found no hole or bolt alignment problems and the assembly instructions were very clear.
The operation of the 420 is very smooth, both my wife (5'10") and myself (6'1") have no problem with the handle bar reach. Although both of us have long legs, the 18 inch stride seems very comfortable.
Not being a computer or programing wizard, the console instructions could of been made a little clearer. The read out is clear and the manual operation is simple enough but I am still trying to work out the customized programs. There are 16 levels of resistance and going up and down threw them is done easily.
All in all. For the price (599.00 + free shipping) this is a great deal and a very good Elliptical in my opinion. Get more detail about Schwinn 420 Elliptical Trainer.
