User questions & answers

Question:	What is the user weight capacity
Answer:	300 LBS!
Question:	Does Amazon do deliver the machine inside the house
Answer:	UPS guy brought it to my backdoor on a dolly
Question:	I need a replacement rear roller wheel for 411 and parts have been an issue. Only 3 weeks old and can not use, do you have parts for this model yet
Answer:	I guess I should feel lucky since I got 5 months out of my 411 before having major issues with the roller on the rail. Your best bet is if you can straight up order parts directly on the Schwinn website. All bets are off if you have to actually contact them. They don't respond to email, and wait times on the phone have ranged from 97 minutes to over 2 hours.
Question:	We have not had very good luck with home exercise equipment. They seem to break. Does anybody have info regarding durability
Answer:	I too was skeptical but am glad I made the purchase. the 411 elliptical is as durable as any health club unit that cost 4 or 5 times more. I've been using mine for nearly 6 months (twice a day) and am extremely satisfied. All connections have remained secure. operation is smooth and quiet and the unit is very stable. a small amount of silicone (that come with the unit) added to the roller frames keeps it properly lubricate

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the stride length for this elliptical
Answer:	I tried one out in-person through a second-hand app (Offer Up). I'm 5'10" with long torso, legs same length of a lot of 5'8" people I know . . . It is a VERY short stride length. Felt more like going up stairs than gliding like a gazelle. Would overtrain quads and not get glutes/hamstrings/calves enough compared to a longer stride. I don't recommend this unless you're quite short or ok with more of a stairstepping than elliptical action.
Question:	How do you get rid of the clicking sound
Answer:	I have the same problem. All the washers and bolts are good. But the clicking sound seems to come from the right side. Any remedies?
Question:	what are the dimensions of the product folded up
Answer:	It does not fold up. Once assembled, it is 34" long (at longest point), 20" wide (at widest point), and 60" high (at tallest point).
Question:	Is it difficult to assemble
Answer:	Is not difficult. Just make sure to read the instructions fully before starting. There are several instructions that say "do this..." and then you do that and right below that it says "note, before doing the above, make sure...". Also, connecting the tension cable in the handlebar post is tricky unless you sprout a 3rd arm. I would recommend having someone else assist you or lay the elliptical on it's side to perform this step.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a difference between the stamina strider and eliptical
Answer:	These are both strider/ellipticals. The difference is that this unit comes with the upper body workout cords and the other one does not. If you want the upper body cords, please note they cannot be added later to the other models. You would need purchase the unit that comes with them.
Question:	How is this machine different from the $90 model
Answer:	I saw there were three different prices, with upper body resistance cords. I chose the middle, $139.00. I am happy with it, and that is what counts. It is SO STURDY, very QUIET, and gives you a REALLY GOOD WORKOUT. In fact, I like it much better than our full-sized elliptical, when our full-sized was working.Not sure about the other priced, and maybe there isn't a difference; but, we are very satisfied with the one we have, if that helps you make your decision :) HAPPY FITNESS !!!OH, and I WOULD NOT get one without the upper resistance cords. The cords DO help with balance, as well as giving your arms a GREAT workout.
Question:	Is it loud
Answer:	Mine started to squeak and sounded like it was coming from where the arm meets the the foot paddle. But I lifted the wheel and found it was actually coming fronm the wheel. I cleaned the wheels but letting it run on some envelopes to clean it. Now sound is gone and runs perfectly smooth and soundless again as normal. Still scratching my head as to how it sounded like it was from the arm. But all good now no oiling needed. Just clean the wheels. No more squeaking! Had it for a few weeks now using it everyday.
Question:	How does one get replacement stretch bands for this machine
Answer:	Hi Elizabeth: You can call the company at: Call Stamina Products at 1-800-375-7520 for a replacement PART 69, RESISTANCE TUBES, or write to the company at: Stamina, Inc. 2040 N.
