However, from Day 1 this has been a disappointing experience. For starters, be wary of shipping on Amazon. Although its free, it only includes delivery to the front door of your building. That being said, if you live in apartment, they will not bring the item to your actual apartment unit. This particular item is at least 150 lbs so be prepared. Next, it took us some time to put the item together. Some of the parts did not align quite right. So that can be a potential issue. Now, the biggest problem is that after putting the item together, we had two major problems. 1st, the flywheel was making loud thud. 2nd, the computer display had a rattling noise right out of the box, and after mounting it and connecting the power cord, it did not work. So we contacted Schwinn, who sent a new flywheel and a technician out to our home to fix the flywheel. It now works okay. He said it was likely bent. The other big issue is that the display is on back order from Schwinn. Schwinn does not plan on having a new display out to us until late December. Thus, one cannot change the tension on the machine making it effectively useless. I contacted Amazon but because its out of their 30 day window, they claimed that nothing could be done from their end. I always had great customer experiences from Amazon but this has been an overall nightmare. So basically we paid $600 for an exercise equipment that we cannot use. In retrospect, I would not have bought this item from Amazon. In addition, I would not have gone with a Schwinn product. Please be wary.

I was very happy with the performance of the machine for the first two months, but started to have issues with squeaking from inside the flywheel assembly. These would typically start only after I had been on the machine for 20 minutes and get worse. The 90 day warranty for labor passed and the problems with noise from inside the front came and went. A few weeks ago the machine broke while I was on it - the resistance went away and didn't vary with changing the settings. I called Schwinn first thing the next morning and after being on hold for 10-15 minutes was given the option of leaving a call back number, so I did. The following morning I still hadn't gotten a call so I tried again. This time I got a person. I had registered the machine online, but was told they have no record of that registration and that the online registration often doesn't work. We spent time registering the machine, after which I described the issue. After some discussion I was told it was probably the motor and that one would be mailed out for me to use in repairing the machine. A week later I called back to find that they had never started the paperwork to ship the motor. I was assured they would ship the motor, but I should expect it to take another week to arrive. The motor finally arrived yesterday so I started to disassemble the machine last night. Guess what - its wasn't the motor that failed, it was the belt (which had clearly rubbed up against something which is why it had squeaked). Given my experience so far with Schwinn I'm guessing I'll see a belt in another couple of weeks. When the machine is working its excellent value for money, but the company is a huge pain in the neck to deal with when it's broken. I deeply regret not buying an extended labor warranty on this elliptical since I assume I would have just made one phone call to get things fixed. And I should have taken the unit apart to precisely diagnose the problem before calling Schwinn to avoid the delays due to their wrong assessment of the problem. Rating: 2 Submitted: 11/15/2008 234) I love my elliptical trainer! I love this machine. It gives me a good workout on days when I used to brave cold and wind and rain just to get some exercise in the city pool. It keeps me from feeling frantic when there's no surf and I can't get my ocean fix. It gives me a chance to watch TV, which I seldom find time to do otherwise. It brings in some of my favorite friends and relatives who also use it several times a week. It allows me to exercise even when I have various foot, knee or shoulder injuries. I enthusiastically recommend it. Rating: 5 Submitted: 11/12/2008 233) Excellent Machine The Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer is an excellent exercise machine. It is smooth, almost silent, and has enough options to make workouts interesting without being overly complicated. It took about two hours to assemble at a very leisurely pace. I found it easy to assemble after laying out all the parts, with fairly good instructions and well marked small parts being a plus. Its relatively small size and quiet operation make it a good choice for those with space constraints. Rating: 5 Submitted: 11/10/2008 232) Schwinn 430 Elliptical Got the 430 from Amazon because of best price and best reviews by other buyers.... ( Best ellipticals in this price range ) Instructions were fairly easy to follow and apply . Put it together in about 1 hour and tried it out. It worked well for a couple of days. My wife and I alternate days at about 30 minutes each. After about 2 days , the sqeaking that other reviewers complained about , began. I took the three points apart , that other users mentioned and applied white lithium grease. When I reassembled .... I didn't tighten the bolts as tight. Since then it has been quite with no problems. I would put the white lithium on it to start with and be easier on the bolt torque when assembling it .... if I had it to do over again. I consider it a very good buy for the money other than the sqeak .... which I halfway expected , from the other reviews .... although I was willing to risk it because it was fixable and I as well as the others liked everything else about it once that is resolved.
