What to Watch For
The articulating foot pedals adjust to the position of your feet while you pedal, mimicing the natural motion of walking. This dramatically lessens foot discomfort that some users experience on cheap ellipticals.
The 25-lb flywheel is large and quiet. You don’t find this type of a quality component on competitor’s machines. For example, Horizon ellipticals under $1000 have just a 14-lb flywheel.
The user weight capacity is 300 pounds! The Schwinn 431 Elliptical is a solid, stable machine that can hold up to heavy use, yet costs 1/3 of the price of a commercial elliptical.
It is on many BEST BUY lists at consumer review sites.
Do your research on the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer for $999.
