Schwinn 470 Elliptical Machine Review

Final word on the schwinn 470 elliptical machine.

Schwinn 470 elliptical machine review.

I purchased it because of the strong review it received in consumer reports which compared it favorably to more expensive equipment. The 470 has a 20 pound flywheel which is the minimum weight recommended for a high quality machine. Also for sale is the schwinn 520 which is a seated elliptical. At first glance the new schwinn 470 seems like a bargain.

Not all ellipticals stride lengths are adjustable but it would be ideal. For its price the schwinn 470 elliptical is a really good buy. Schwinn ellipticals in this review all have heavy frames for their price class. I have been using my schwinn 470 elliptical machine each day for almost five months and i am pleased with its performance and the value that it offers.

The schwinn 470 elliptical has plenty of impressive selling points. However the 470 isn t especially durable. The schwinn 470 is the most affordable elliptical we reviewed and its mrsp is more than 2 000 below the most expensive machine the sole e95. Schwinn introduced the original 470 elliptical in 2013 and they updated the machine in 2017 by adding bluetooth for data sharing.

The schwinn 470 elliptical offers up to a 20 stride length which isn t bad but the stride length is fixed. The schwinn 470 elliptical 899 plus delivery is the more advanced option of two in a discount lineup. When the machine works as intended it feels like an elliptical in the next price bracket. They left the main components unchanged.

It looks like a recumbent exercise bike. Special features include power incline wireless heart rate monitoring bluetooth for data export runsocial compatibility and more. Its 20 inch stride length is average.
