Our whole family uses this machine. My 16 year old in particular. I really like it, but I do like to know calories burned and heart rate etc.....and I wish I had paid more attention, because they should have nixed the fan...totally useless, and made a much larger , earier to read monitor.

My wife and I just purchased this locally. We paid the store to deliver and assemble it. The unit works smoothly and quietly. We wish the display was readable and larger. As others have said, the font is pencil thin, and there is very poor contrast, so unless you hold a flashlight up to the display, you really can't see it. Also, you can only store one user's profile (age, weight, sex, etc.). In this day of modern electronics and displays, there is no reason why Schwinn couldn't have put more thought into the console and display to make it really usable. Other than that, I think we will enjoy using this elliptical trainer.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
Great for the price. Make sure you double-check the wiring harness connection before you finish assembly. I didn't have it connected tightly and had to take aprt to fix.
Only bad thing is the LED screen is not very bright. Hard to tell mileage and time.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
Between my wife and we use the product approximately 5 days/week. The set up of the equipment was fairly easy and took approximately 2 hours with only one person. The machine works very smoothly is small enough that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in our finished basement. I can move the machine rather easily, there is a little hesitation from the wife.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
the fan is useless unless you lean way over and put your face right up against it. The screen has to be used in lighted area or you can't see it. I use it early in the morning so I have to have a flashlight to see the screen to avoid waking every one up. Other than those two things I love it. Since I did not buy it for the fan or screen I think it was worth the price. Its easy to use and gives a good work out.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
It just as well not have a console, one cannot read it without stopping and looking closely under a bright light. I am so displeased with the console design that I may take it back top the dealer... It's a matter of time before I do. It works smoothly and well and does give a good cardio workout but the console detracts from the pros.
