About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

Differences between Schwinn 430 - 418 - 438 : Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer [Discontinued]
Price:
Amazon offered the best price at $600.00 and free shipping. With the lowest price and the trust of buying from a recognized and established company rather than some online fly-by-night, Amazon was the unavoidable choice.
Purchase:
Online ordering was, of course, a zephyr at Amazon. Shipment was done via "Eagle Gl" shipper. Make sure your accurate telephone number is included in the ordering process because Eagle will not deliver the goods without an appointment. Delivery personnel were ahead of schedule, gentle and helpful. The delivery is curbside only and you should make plans to move the 200 lb box to your indoor workout location. You may find it easier to unload the box at the drop point and carry in the private pieces. The flywheel, however, may take two people or just leave it in the box and slide it up the steps.
Customer service / Assembly:
A real nightmare. Online reviews of other Schwinn ellipticals warn the prospective purchaser that Schwinn has a real qoute with packing the allowable parts. The 430 is no exception. Two right legs made the unit inoperative. Any calls to customer service, although they have a great bedside manner, netted miniature results as each representative advised dissimilar facts and none could accurate the qoute in a timely fashion. An email to Nautilus, (parent company of Schwinn), upper administration did corollary in operation within five minutes of receiving the message after 8:00 Pm. The qoute was taken care of within three days, (even they had a qoute with obtaining the allowable part), and they showed a genuine concern for the situation.
The assembly hand-operated rated about a 5 out of 10. Parts were incorrectly labeled and some parts changed their part number on each page they were displayed. customer service whether read from a dissimilar diagram or could not understand what was presented to them. Take it slow and as a hint, there is no M8x25 bolt.
Features:
General Use - The Ecb theory makes for a very quiet, very flat ride. Parents of newborns will find this welcome when space restrictions require exercise close to their sleeping babe (aside from an occasional electronic beep, but not a nap breaker). The transmit and reverse option is an added benefit not found on other machines in this price range.
Size - No excuse here. Though slightly wider than a ski machine, the 430 will fit in any apartment. The front rollers make it possible, (not easy), to move the unit into a corner when not in use.
Electronics - Nice array of feedback though no backlight with this model. Heart rate monitor is lacking, however. When compared to a "Polar" Hrm with chest strap the 430's Hrm took about 60 seconds to display an accurate reading. Since the sensors are placed on the stationary handlebars this feature is not helpful to person who chooses to use the dynamic handlebars for upper body movement.
BioFit & BioGlide - Big words for "a well polished machine" Essentially this means that the make is such that there are no rough edges, placement of interaction points with the user, (handlebars, electronics, etc.), have been optimized and so forth. Although nice, this is what consumers expect in a product. Whatever less would be a poor purchase.
Foot Plate - Although Schwinn claims that the 430 has articulating foot plates, (follow the foot's path to sound feel with the surface), I found my heel constantly rising as in the request for retrial of a cross-country ski machine. The plates are wide and hard plastic. Even with walking shoes on this is a bit uncomfortable. The plates could use a softer surface and a strap theory to hold the foot in place.
Performance:
Once you get the unit together you'll find one flat ride (No reference to the builder of other elliptical equipment intended). Since the unit was just artificial in 2006 and this chronicle is written after only one use, it is unknown how long the 430 will hold up to its good performance. For now, however, the 430, coupled with an additional one Nautilus product, the Bowflex home gym, may entice you to cancel your exercise club membership, that is if you can get past the ego trip of the mirrors first.
Sept. 28, 2008 - Still going strong. A few minor creeks that could probably be resolved with lubrication or bolt adjustment, but it's still smooth, quiet and no mechanical problems.
