I’m looking at getting one for weight loss/general fitness. And was looking between these two models. The 240 has some additional programs, a heavier flywheel and a color screen but I’m not sure if any of that will make any difference to me. Anyone have the 220 and can provide some opinions?
I had hoped to find both at a store to compare but I can’t seem to find both at one location. They either have various combinations of the Schwinn models, but never those two side by side. If anyone knows a store in the Philly suburbs, I’d appreciate that too!
Thank you Bob, actually there are a couple things about that. The price of the 240 is actually $450 most places ($350 for the 220, and $400 for the older 230 model being phased out), Amazon seems to have ‘run out’ and it defaulted to one of their stores that has it at full retail, hence the $700 pricetag. The other thing I noticed was the options you listed from the comparison chart seem inaccurate (not because of you), if you look at the photos of the console, the 220 has the Interval time, rpm, etc listed as well. I noticed them before while comparing the screens online.
Sorry about that, I should have mentioned those details as one of the reasons I was looking for someone that knew the models personally. As the facts listed online seem a bit suspect.
