Affordable and solid rock

The Schwinn 420 Elliptical Trainer surprises the most because it is priced below the $1.000 mark, meaning that you would expect a doubtful quality elliptical or at least not very strong, but the 420 is strong and it has good quality for the price you pay for it. There are some things missing from other models of Schwinn like the V-Stride technology, but even so, it is a great elliptical for the price.

That is what surprises users of this elliptical, the fact that it is stable when being used, it is strong enough to hold 300 pound users and it has quality to last long years. A red flag may be raised concerning the 90 days warranty on the wear and labor; usually it means that the manufacturer is trying to hold there something. Not in this case, maybe Schwinn is being over cautious or something.

One other thing that you should really pay attention on this elliptical, and not for the best reasons, is the resistance. Even though it is good enough for experienced elliptical users, for beginners and people who are out of shape, even the first level may seem a bit difficult to overcome. Several users have noticed this difficulty, so pay attention and try it before you buy it.
