Good Value for Budget Ellipticals
Schwinn offers four models ranging from $600 - $1,000. And one of their models received "Best Buy" ratings from a top consumer rating. In general, I feel the Schwinn ellipticals offer some of the best value in their price range. In particular, I find the Schwinn 420 elliptical to be an excellent buy. Although the upgraded Schwinn 431 also has appeal. Note: Amazon.com I find their models to have a smooth elliptical motion and their machines are relatively quiet, but more important is the fact that these are some of the most durable ellipticals in their price range. Schwinn Elliptical Trainer Reviews...
It comes with extra long handlebars so it can accommodate users of different size. You can also change the location of your grip and emphasize resistance to different parts of your upper body. All Schwinn ellipticals have articulating foot pedals designed to angle with the elliptical motion. With stationary pedals your foot has to raise up with the elliptical stride, and can often cause numbness and discomfort. Schwinn Elliptical WarrantiesThe parts warranties on schwinn models is reasonable, coverage is 2-3 years parts and 1 year electronics. Where Schwinn is weak is their service warranties. The 420 only has 90-day coverage, but the low price can warrant purchasing an upgrade warranty. Our ReviewMy overall impression is that Schwinn offers some of the best value for ellipticals under $1,000. I believe the Schwinn 420 is an excellent value for $600, which is the price I found at Amazon. Although, you must realize the limitations of machines in this price range. If you plan to use your elliptical extensively, have multiple users, are over 6' and/or weigh over 200 lbs, you may want to upgrade to NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 PRO. Customer Reviews - AmazonAs of 12/2/10 the Schwinn 420 had a customer rating on Amazon of 4.5 out of 5 stars. When you consider this is a budget elliptical, that is very impressive.
