Schwinn(シュイン) コンパクトエリプティカルマシン One Size

I just received my Schwinn 430 a few days ago and I am very impressed. The frame of this machine is quite sturdy and very well constructed. In addition, it's performance is quite smooth. I am 6 ft tall and the 20 in stride is completely comfortable. Moreover, the magnetic resistance works quite well and is very challenging when it needs to be. Furthermore, the dual monitor display is very well thought out. In fact, the control buttons are well placed and the arrangement of them is pretty simple to understand. I also like the fact that the pedals are quite large and it is easy to maintain balance with little effort. I think the fitness conglomerate of schwinn, Bowflex, Nautilus and universal really hit it out of the park with this model. Truthfully, the Schwinn 430 has been around for a number of years and they do a really nice job of updating it yearly. Be aware, if you do decide to purchase this glider it comes in a very large box. Moreover, there are a lot of parts and it will take quite a bit of assembly. All in all, it took me about 2 hours to assemble the whole machine. In addition, it is probably best to purchase some silicone-based lubricant to lightly coat the joints during assembly. Especially, the rubber idler tires that glide up and down the frame rail. Trust me, if you do not lubricate them your glider will squeak terribly. Schwinn really should have touched on this fact in the owner's manual. Although, it is really a minor issue that is easy to deal with. I really only have a few criticisms. The glider itself is equipped with built-in stereo speakers. However, the volume on them is quite low so, don't expect too much. In addition, Schwinn for whatever reason put the power connection at the bottom of the front base where it is somewhat exposed and could be damaged if you accidentally hit it with your foot. Even more problematic, the power supply connector that inserts at the base of the machine sticks straight out and it probably would have been wiser to equip it with one that featured a 90° angle. That would keep the plug from sticking straight out. Other than these two things, there really isn't anything to complain about. I have been a fitness professional working in the industry for 25 years and I see all kinds of equipment come and go. As I stated earlier, this model has been around for a while but, it really has a timeless design. I really would not hesitate to recommend this model. Schwinn did a really nice job.

Llevo varios meses con la elíptica y me ha funcionado perfectamente, la uso una hora diario, y no he tenido problemas, he leido notas al respecto del ruido generado por los rieles de guía, en efecto se escucha un ruido por fricción, pero nada que con un poco de grasa o silicona no se pueda corregir, de ahí en más El equpio funciona perfectamente

Eliptica silenciosa con 20 niveles de resistencia magnética de buena zancada, se tiene que lubricar cada mes si se usa constantemente.

I bought this elliptical on 9/28/18. My first comments will be on the installation. This was offered at no charge which was a great deal -- or so I thought. The first installers came to put the machine together. The installation was very noisy as they were banging parts together. I was concerned but they told me not to worry and that I could txt them if there were any issues down the road. The next day, the machine started making clicking sounds. The noise got worse and worse as I used the machine. I contacted the installers and they refused to come back. Without bothering to come and check the elliptical, they blamed it on the machine being faulty. I was very upset. I only had the elliptical for one day. I called Amazon and, I have to say, they were incredibly helpful. It took a lot of steps but they sent me a new machine and scheduled a new installer to come. This installer was VLL GROUP. If you’re in Los Angeles, please ask for them for your Amazon installations. They are incredibly professional and truly know their craft. It’s been over a month now since they installed my new elliptical and it runs great. At this time, I sincerely believe that the complaints about this machine making noises could potentially due to how it was installed. There are no shortcuts. You have to know what you’re doing. You have to take your time. I watched VLL GROUP install my elliptical and it was clear that they cared to do the job right. Now, on to the machine. I use it for 50 minutes 5 days out of 7. It runs smoothly. No noise. It gives me a good sweat. There are different levels that you can manually adjust to, I use the highest. You can use the handles or not. I don’t think it keeps track of the calories accurately but a good rule of thumb is, depending on how dedicated you are when using it, you can burn about 200 calories in 30 minutes. I still go to the gym and, as much as I like my home elliptical, I know it’s not a gym quality elliptical. But for the price, it’s worth it. I like that I can jump on it first thing in the morning without having to drive to the gym. I like that I can do an extra 30 minutes of cardio late at night if I need to sweat off extra calories. Note that after a few weeks, you might hear a faint squishing sound. What I do is this: put a little Vaseline on the legs where the rollers slide and you should be back in business. I wouldn’t use oil lubricant. Initially, I did that and sprayed it on the legs and it made the squishing worse. I had to wipe it off clean with a wet towel, let the legs dry and then dab the Vaseline along the legs. I do recommend this machine BUT ONLY with the right installers.

Overall, very solid and feels like it should last. Moves smoothly and quietly and is mechanically very good. (I did have problems with delivery - Amazon initially delivered a used Sunny stationary bike (complete with the shipping label showing the previous purchaser's name and address!). When I told the 2 Amazon delivery people, they said that "by law" they had to leave it then just walked to their truck and drove away. I'm still waiting for pickup of the wrong item...) When the proper Schwinn 430 arrived, it appeared to be new and in good condition. Assembly was straight-forward once I was able to get everything out of the tightly packed box. Tools are included although you might want to use your own tools if you have them. There is only 1 step (installing console mast) where it would be nice to have a third hand to hold something while attaching bolts. I did wipe the rails with silicone and made sure everything moved smoothly before trying it out. Others have reported issues with the rollers so I'm going to keep an eye on them and keep the rails clean and lubricated. The machine is comfortable to use and feels ergonomically correct. Even though I've never been accused of having long legs, I'm glad I got a machine with a 20" stride and not shorter. The incline adjustment makes a big difference on which muscles in my legs are used and the manual adjustment is very quick and easy to use. Resistance adjustment is easy with several buttons on the console. Resistance level is shown on the lower display but you have to scroll through 3 screens and you can't show elapsed time and resistance at same time. My only real disappointments are with the console. The built in speakers are small and sound muddy - my iPad has better sound. There is no bluetooth connection, and the only input for sound is via a ⅛" jack. I was going to buy an adapter but then realized I'm better off just not using those speakers. The built in fan makes more noise than it moves air (not surprising as the whole thing runs off a 9 volt adapter that plugs into the wall and connects via a skinny wire to the front of machine). The dual screen is monochrome and definitely looks like it belongs on equipment made many years ago. My upper screen initially had black areas scattered throughout - may have been from pressure on it during shipping and is slowly improving with time. It has multiple programs for various levels of exercise, but I would be more inclined to use them with a better interface. Most of the time I just prefer to adjust the resistance (and incline) manually and not bother with the programs and stats. As noted above, I wish that I could view resistance level and elapsed time together. One other minor pet peeve; although the assembly manual was included, you have to go online to see the operation manual. I'm all for saving trees, but the paper saved is extremely small compared to all the packing material that comes with the elliptical, and I personally prefer having a manual that I can look at anywhere and add notes to. Overall a good machine that feels professional in quality. The console needs a major refresh (bluetooth, better interface and graphics) but for me that's not a really big deal. I would still be happy with just resistance adjustment buttons, time and perhaps heart rate readouts. I was looking for something that felt solid and enjoyable to use but didn't cost a fortune, and this fits the bill.
