The model 305p Schwinn stair stepper is a good choice for those seeking a less expensive option for a stair stepper. This Schwinn stair stepper sells for an estimated $400, and it has been a hit with many consumers, who say that it offers a good value for the low price.
In particular, the Schwinn stair stepper provides an especially generous warranty for such a low priced machine – 30 years on the frame, three years for parts and one year for labor. The model 305p Schwinn stair stepper provides 12 levels of resistance, which are easily set by the turn of a knob. In addition, the Schwinn 305p uses hydraulic power, which eliminates the need to locate the unit near an electrical outlet. The downside of the hydraulic pistons on the Schwinn stair stepper are that they are noisier and wear out more quickly than the cable driven systems used by more expensive stair steppers like StairMaster and Diamondback. A plus for the 305p, however, is that this Schwinn stair stepper is smaller than either the StairMaster or the Diamondback, making it easier to fit into a tight space. As you would expect of such a low priced unit, the 305p Schwinn stair stepper has a low weight capacity of 200 pounds, and it does not include a heart rate monitor or built in programs like more expensive models. In fact, the 305p has no display at all, and some have complained that the handles on the Schwinn stair stepper are set a bit too low and take some time to adapt to. And like other low priced stair steppers, the Schwinn stair stepper is designed more for casual use than for daily workouts.
