 Schwinn 430 Elliptical - Great Value October 19, 2009

I bought the Schwinn 430 Elliptical a month ago from Amazon (the same time as a Schwinn 230 recumbent bike) and I am VERY happy with Amazon, with the shipping co. and with the Schwinn 430 Elliptical itself.
My experience:
1. Schwinn 430 Elliptical arrived at my house about ten days after ordering
2. Unpack and assembly took 90 minutes - do follow the instructions carefully - they are well written, but there are a couple of steps where you must read closely and match the screw/bolt/locking washers to the assembly instruction steps. The parts package is clearly labeled with sizes and assembly part #
3. I have now worked out on the Schwinn 430 Elliptical five times using different programs at Level 8 for 30 mins and my initial experience is: quiet, nice display, clear controls on the display and got my HR to 130 range which is almost where I want it. 135 HR is about right for me.
4. The build quality is just fine and the main area I see for possible failure is the touch-press control panel - if sub-par plastic membrane material is used it can lead to possible issues.
I recommend the Schwinn 430 Elliptical as a strong buy, with the caveat that you must follow the assembly steps patiently and diligently.

It was before time delivery, easy assembly. Everything was fine. One feedback about the assembly instruction. In one of the assemblies, the instruction was wrong about the type of washer to be used. It was a printing mistake which caused a deley. Otherwise, it was all fine. Thanks.

Product works well. Careful not to tighten the screws too tightly on the swinging arm and leg bars. The machine will squeak loudly if you do.

I purchased the Schwinn 430 Labor Day and chose the free shipping. My husband had no problem putting it together. I gave him some review printouts that said not to tighten too much and to use white lithium grease on all of the moving parts which he did. We also took the parts out of the box and brought them to the room where he proceeded to put it together. I purchased foam interlocking pads for the machine to sit on. It is very smooth, quiet, and easy to operate. I would recommend this trainer. I use to train at a gym and decided to save that money for something else as I only used the elliptical and some weights at the gym. By having my own elliptical, I can go downstairs at 6 a.m. with no make-up, hair a mess, and not worry about how I look and use the elliptical for a half hour and do some floor exercises and then start getting ready at 7 a.m. to go to work. I also won't get the flu from someone who is working out next to me and who may be sick (at the gym). You may want to give the trucking company explicit directions to your place when they call you the day before delivery if you are out of the way. My delivery guy went east instead of west so when I called (as my husband missed the call on the day of delivery as you have to be home to sign for the delivery), I was told that a half hour had passed from their call to us and that I would have to wait for the next delivery date. I asked him where the next delivery was in our town and had my husband meet him to get the elliptical. At least this way, it was better to go across town than having to wait for the next delivery date which probably would have been another week or so.

Surprisingly easy to assemble. I lubricated moving parts with white lithium grease during assembly and have had no squeaking. Works beautifully for all of us, including my husband who is 240 pounds. I was in a sporting goods store and tried out the expensive models, and unless you want a fancy machine and have cash to burn, then this is the machine, because there was not that much difference.
