One of the best rated Elliptical Machines is the Schwinn 430 As a basic elliptical trainer with a budget price, the Schwinn 430 wins accolades from some expert reviewers and many owners. It is compact, yet feels solid at 150 pounds, they say. Although the Schwinn has fewer programs and features than some more expensive ellipticals, there are enough options for most home-users. Critics say quality and reliability issues make the Schwinn a questionable value, especially since the labor warranty is just 90 days. Even reviewers who like the Schwinn 430 say it is best suited for light workouts. Still, almost 250 owners posting to Amazon.com are overwhelmingly positive about the Schwinn 430 elliptical trainer. Also if you are willing to spend a little more the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is the way to go. The Reviewers say the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 has excellent features for the money: power incline, iFit workouts, 24 workout programs and a port to plug in an MP3 player. It even folds up to save space. However, owner testimonials on Sears.com report premature breakdowns and difficulty getting replacement parts. If you have a bit more room in your budget, the Sole E35 (*est. $1,300) is a quality machine backed by excellent customer service, according to reviewers.

Comment by ShoppingAround: I love this Schwinn Elliptical! I was so excited to get it & begin using it, that I immediately put it together as soon as it arrived. The instructions were easy to understand, and it only took me about 1 1/2 hours to put it together using the tools supplied with the machine, although I did have to use a pipe wrench to adjust one thing. Nothing was too heavy or difficult for me to install or put together. The Elliptical itself is quite stable, well-constructed and sturdy, as well as provides enough variety of programs that give me a healthy cardio workout. The more I use it, the easier it becomes, and there are enough available options to intensify my workout. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase!
Comment by ShoppingAround: "Order shipped to store before scheduled date which was great. Assembly was simple, and instructions were easy to follow. Elliptical works great and feels very sturdy."
