The Schwinn® 420 Elliptical Trainer comes with a dozen preset workout programs. It features their BioGlide motion technology which allows for a natural elliptical stride. Here is an elliptical machine that lets you enjoy not only a comfortable workout, but maximum results as well.

Schwinn's trademarked BioFit™ comfort engineering ensures biomechanically designed linkages and ergonomic handles for multiple workout positions. You also get their BioDyne™ performance protocol with bi-directional pedaling that lets you pedal forward or backward in order to target specific muscle groups.

The 420 comes with a perimeter weighted flywheel with high inertia for smooth consistency and oversized stabilizers and levelers that are built-in for a solid workout platform.

 

Pros

Good delivery coordination however make sure you have help in the actual assembly, which can take about 2 hours. Comes with an integrated grip heart rate system and 16 resistance levels. The 420 operates smoothly on a sturdy base, plus it is easy to use and comparatively quiet.

Cons

The User Manual is not easy to understand and the digital readout seems to get prematurely weak. Can be difficult to mount and the riding position is a little high. There is no place for a water bottle. Might be hard to store depending on your workout setup. The heart rate monitor takes about 60 seconds to settle at your actual heart rate.

Conclusion

Pretty good value for the price. Warranty includes 5 years for the frame, 1 year for parts, with some electronic exceptions limited to only 90 days. The Schwinn 420 weighs 154 pounds and can hold about 300 lbs of body weight.
