Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer Review
With spring finally here and summer just around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to add our review of the Schwinn 430 Elliptical. Schwinn 430 offers a lot of great features at a very affordable price. Its also one of the highest rated elliptical trainers on the market (as per Amazon reviews).
Features
The Schwinn 430 is equipped with an Eddy Current Braking (ECB) system that ensures a quiet, smooth ride. If you are in need of a quiet elliptical machine, the ECB system helps when your family is sleeping and you decide to try to get an elliptical workout in. There are also back and forward options to switch up your routine to either forward or backward. For most machines in this price range, you usually dont see this feature.
The stride length of the Schwinn 430 is 18 inches, as some people who are higher, may not be comfortable with. In our tests (Im 510?) ) We did not find any problems with using this machine in our gym.
BIOglide The motion technology offers biomechanically designed to move a comfortable placement of the foot-wide elliptical motion. The BIOglide motion made it easy for us during our elliptical exercise.
8 Both training programs and 8 resistance levels. Most of the regular exercise program is included (range, heart rate, etc).

However, the display on this machine isn’t backlit, making it very difficult to see in dark situations. If thatsa problem for you, then dont play on the use of this screen. That said, we did not find much of a problem with the screen.

Assembly Customer Service
We did not have any trouble putting together our Schwinn 430, but people have had problems with a lack M8x25 bolt. A customer got two right legs. So in a very small amount of cases there have been some problems with installation and calls to customer service has solved these problems in most cases. If you have questions and Schwinn customer service can not help you, some customers called Schwinn’s parent company, Nautilus, to solve their problems.

Thanks for the review! I am shopping for an elliptical. This was very helpful. One comment: did you notice that your intro and conclusion are misplaceed in the video?
Thanks for the review. I’m shopping for my first elliptical, and the 90-day labor warranty seemed disconcerting. I really appreciate your addressing the warranty issue and your recommending the extended warranty.
