The 431 Schwinn elliptical machine or better known as an elliptical trainer is a nice upgrade from the ever so popular Schwinn 430. The Schwinn 430 has won several “Best Buy” recommendations.
Both elliptical machines have the same resistance level and footprint. And if you look closely at the pictures of both ellipticals they appear to look exactly the same. But there are several differences between the two machines that justify the additional $200-$300 charge. These differences include:
1. 19 workout programs rather than 8 on the 430 machine. The Schwinn 431 console includes 3 heart rate control programs and exercise routines that control the resistance based on your heart rate.
2. The 431 has an improved backlit LCD display, which is an improvement over the standard LCD display.
3. The console on the 431 comes with a fan, and a holder for an MP3 player.
4. The 431 comes with a 6 month service warranty, in comparison to 90-days on the Schwinn 430.
Overall, the reviews for the Schwinn 431 have also been very respectable. 100 reviewers have rated the 431 4.5/5 stars.
