Our Verdict:
So what do we have to say in conclusion? We believe that the Schwinn 431 Elliptical deserves high regard for its expanded and versatile workout programs and its user-friendly add-ons. The machine comes with the abundance of 19 different workout programs to choose from, plus a cooling fan, iPod/MP3 dock and a towel hook. Exercising definitely becomes more fun and convenient! One of the features that caught our attention was the multiple user modes. This allows multiple users to track their own personal progress whilst they workout on this machine. It’s also very compact, so it’s easy to store way when you are not using it.
The blue back-lit display console improves readability a lot and the 25-lbs flywheel is probably the largest you can find in home elliptical trainers. The frame of the Schwinn 431 is definitely heavier and sturdier than most elliptical trainers, that’s why it does not even wobble much during intense workouts. A lot of essential functions and value has been packed into an incredibly affordable home exercise machine that comes quite close to a real gym equipment grade. We feel that this machine deserves to be placed as one of the top elliptical trainers on our site. The Schwinn 431 elliptical trainer gets our thumbs up!
