It works great. I am very happy with this purchase. It is a little hard to put together and if not tightened then there is some noise, but overall it is very quiet. No problem watching TV or listening to the radio when working out. The lower settings are pretty easy, but it is a very good work out at higher settings. It would be nice if there was a better display, and if there was some backlighting, but for the price I am exceedingly happy with the machine. It is better than similar machines in my previous apartment complex (similar price as well when I was looking online). I highly recommend it…just be sure you have a lot of time and you are careful when putting it together since there are a few mistakes in the instructions.
I spent a lot of time researching ellipticals, and settled on this one because of the specs of the machine, and the reviews. I’m always hesitant to buy something without trying it first, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It was simple to put together. The instructions were very clear, and they provided you with all the tools you need. Some reviews have said it takes at least 2 people, but I put it together by myself. It only took about 2 hours, and was not an unpleasant experience. (My husband did help me get the heaviest part out of the box.) Everything went together well, except one place on the pedals took some jiggling to get the hole to line up. I especially loved that delivery was free, and it got here super fast!
The machine itself is very quiet. I am short, and the stride is good for me. The handles do feel slightly too far forward, but it doesn’t bother me – it’s only slightly awkward. It also runs smooth, and feels very sturdy. I have been using it almost every day since I bought it, so time will tell if it holds up. But so far, so good
i ordered this item a month ago. it was shipped from amazon so quickly . the shipping co. called on friday and scheduled an appointment for delivery the following monday, however on sunday due to heavy rain nashville was flooded and the elliptical was damaged. it was returned and amazon quickly refunded my money so i could re-order the item which i did. it was supposed to be delivered on may 21st. i still have no elliptical. i have not been able to track this package since it left the seller. i am positive amazon is not at fault and do not blame them, but the shipping company ( ABF ) has not made an attempt to contact me. as soon as i receive the product i will rate it. i must add that amazon is doing it’s best to help mein this situation and for that i thank them.
This was a great big surprise. I didn’t think this model would be as smooth as it is. Relatively easy to put together; everything is marked accordingly. I’m not that great at putting things together that has a million pieces, but this must be the exception. There aren’t a million pieces and everything is easy to read. I would recommend this exercise equipment to anyone who is serious about getting into shape and or losing weight. Schwinn has remained true to its name and the quality of its product. The sharp color logo looks great too!

After reading pretty good reviews, I bought the Schwinn 420. Assembly was pretty straight forward, but once together, the right leg/arm assembly didn’t line up very well, making the wheel want to run off track. I called Schwinn and it turns out the 90 day labor warranty only covers parts that were assembled at the factory. Still, the Schwinn rep on the phone was very nice and together we guessed on which part was causing the problem. He sent me a new one, but unfortunately we guessed wrong. Problem is still there. Right wheel / pedal wants to run off track resulting in pretty bad squeeking. Lube does no good. I’m giving up. I’ll use it until the wheel fails in a few months and try a different brand.
Based on other reviews, most are fine right out of the box. But just know that they’re made in China and the quality assurance (or lack there of) shows. If you get a lemon, you are in for trouble trying to fix it.
