Great Workout but Poor Manual,
The bike came in a box. Took about 3 hours to assemble although the assembly was relatively easy. Only had to disassemble a couple of parts that I did wrong. I love the bike but the manual is terrible. It tells me what is available but not how to set up the electronics. It says it has 16 programs installed but I have only found one of them. I use it in manual (Quick Start) mode and love it. It keeps up with time, distance, calories, watts (a new one on me), and speed. This is more info than I need. Oh, it gives me heart rate too when I grab the handles. I look forward to using it often.

|Really, Really Happy With This Purchase!!,
Pros
—–
Well built, feels very sturdy
Quiet operation
Smooth motion
Easy to select courses, duration, intensity, etc.
Gives amazing workouts
Has a nice e-book reader, which allows me to put my Amazon Kindle Fire on it, surf the internet, watch movies, listen to music, etc.
Cons
—-
Took 3 hours to build, requires at least 2 people
The display is not back-lit, so depending on your room lighting it may be difficult to read
The mp3 speakers are laughable (my cell phone speaker and Amazon Kind Fire speaker are twice as loud and clear)
The fan is also laughable (I have it on all the time, but it barely moves any air, and you can hardly tell the difference between low, medium, and high)
Overall
——-
I wasn’t expecting much from the display, fan, or speakers, and it’s a shame they’re all underwhelming. Looking past that though, the elliptical itself is amazing. Best bang for buck elliptical in my opinion. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a well-built budget elliptical. Really, the only reason I’m not giving it a perfect score is I hope Schwinn sees my Cons and improves them in later iterations of this product. But personally they do not bug me, and they shouldn’t prevent you from making this purchase. I have a nearby computer with kick-butt speakers to get some music going. And the e-reader holder entirely makes up for the weak display. Toss a Kindle Fire in the e-reader holder, and you have a 7″ touch-screen with everything you can imagine at your finger tips.

|Great, quiet workout elliptical machine,
I have been looking for an elliptical machine for a while, and the Schwinn 420 (2012) model does the trick. Great value and easy to set up, I have used this for a few months now with great results. The length is perfect at just over 5′, so it works much better than larger machines for homes without much floorspace, like mine. The digital display is a bit tough to read (it is not backlit), but the workout and adjustable degree of difficulty is comparable with more expensive machines. Recommended.
