I just bought this product to help in my weight loss pursuit. It definitely is quiet, easy to use and has been very good so far. However, it is very frustrating when even in perfect lighting the display is hard to read. It is hard to check your progress. I strongly suggest a fix for this and that would make this a great machine to have.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
I bought this for my wife and she loves the machine except for the display light is not bright enough. when it was delivered the installers ordered us a new counsel because they thought it was broke because of how bad the light is. We got the new one and it is the same as the first. The display light should be neon green or orange not the same color as the screen. Other than that the machine is smooth, quiet, and great for the price.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
I just bought this machine after I wore my Nordic track out. This one is very quite and smooth though the display is very difficult to read. Very disappointed since I like to keep up with calories burned, heart rate, etc... Other than that I enjoy the comfort of the machine.

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
The LCD display is difficult to see and the fan does not move a lot of air. Other than that, which are minor problems, the machine is great. It gives a great cardio workout with virtually no impact on my old joints. For the price, it is a great value. If possible, I would rate this as a 4.5

Comments about Schwinn 420 Elliptical:
Bought this after reading all the reviews, Consumer Reports and trying it out in a local sporting good store. The display is a horrible. That is why I cannot rate it a 5. That said, it took me 2 1/2 hours to put it together. Instruction is easy to follow. Once together, my wife did a 20 minute work out on it & I did a 30 minute workout. It's solid, quite, & you feel the workout. Both my wife & I love it so far. We bought this as our anniversary gift.

This is a nice machine except there is no light on the console and is impossible to read. If you can do without a console it's probably a good buy
