I just got one second-hand and put it back into top shape. All I needed was to get some missing bolts, but I took everything apart and put it back together again just to make sure its all sound. I was impressed with how solidly everything is built inside, if there is a problem it is most likely fixable. And as others said, it is quiet and has a very nice motion. Also, since I had it open, I found out that it CAN be operated without the AC adapter. The problem is that the resistance would remain at the lowest level, but there is a work-around as follows: Plug in the AC adapter, set the desired resistance level. Now unplug the AC adapter *before* the machine goes back into sleep mode. This way you prevent the machine from dialing the lowest resistance back in, and from now on it’ll run with the same resistance that you had selected, until you plug the AC back.
Would recomend this elliptical trainer to anyone who needs a great home machine. My husband set it up in a few hours using the white lubricant as suggested. We have been using the Schwinn Elliptical for 3 months now with no problems. We are both getting great workouts!
Solid construction. Easy to program and use and VERY QUIET! This is an excellent investment for exercise equipment.
After quite a bit of research, and looking for something solid AND compact, we purchased the Schwinn 431. My husband and I are in our early 50s and needed something we would DO. My husband and 12 yo son put it together in approx 2 hours. The first week, it would squeak within the first couple of minutes. My husband took one of the arms off, added more lithium grease and that took care of it! LOVE this machine. After thinking I’d die after about 2 minutes, my endurance built up quickly. Our son jumped on and said “Wow, that 30 minutes just flew by!” Whatever. Anyway, we all love it and USE it!
I purchased the Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer after researching on-line and I am very happy with my Amazon experience. The Elliptical came on Christmas Eve and I have used every day since. The price was the most competitive I could find and the free shipping made my decision that much easier. I was able to put the Elliptical together myself and for me that is a small miracle so I credit Schwinn for very precise directions. I can’t believe how quiet the Elliptical is and the workout is the best. I highly recommend this product and Amazon as well.
