Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer Review

The Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer is an upgrade to the popular Schwinn 430. Which has won several “Best Buy” recommendations, including my own.

Both ellipticals have the same footprint and resistance level. And if you look at the photos they appear to be an exact match. There are several differences that justify the additional $200-$300 charge. They include:

  1. 19 workout programs rather than 8, which include 3 heart rate control programs. Exercise routines that control the resistance based on your heart rate. Requires holding on to the stationary hand grips.
  2. Improved backlit LCD display, which is an improvement over the standard LCD display.
  3. The console comes with a fan, and below is a holder for an MP3 player.
  4. 6 month service warranty, in comparison to 90-days.
Feedback & Overview
Actual Customer Feedback:
Great value...

I did a lot of research and comparison with most popular treadmills. The wife wanted something with a small stride and easy to use and I wanted a good cardio workout with in the 700-1000 dollar price range. By far the Schwinn 431 wins hands down. We had it for a week and loving it. No shipping complaints and you can use Bill-Me-Later option. Great value.

After much research, I bought this one

Well, I've had this machine for about two weeks now and it works great. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I was a little concerned about shipping, but mine came in perfect condition. Like others, it took me little under 3 hours to put it together. If you can put a screw in and follow directions, you'll be able to put this...
Product Details
Company Info: If your budget is limited, but you still want a quality machine, with a smooth elliptical motion, you may want to consider the Schwinn elliptical trainers. 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. 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.
