My sons have the Artscroll interlinear machzor. I’ve always found it to be counter-intuitive in that you read the words themselves from left to right, but have to read the sentences from right to left (since they’re located beneath the Hebrew words).
I’ve been using the same Metsudah machzor for the last twenty plus years*. Yes, the instructions are not as clear as in Artscroll, but I’ve always found that format much easier to use than the Artscroll format.

* I spent RH/YK in Scranton davening in the yeshiva one year when I was about fifteen. On Yom Kippur, they distributed a sheet of paper listing which pyutim they’d be saying in each of the tefillos. Twenty some odd years later, that folded up paper is *still* in my machzor. I use it as a bookmark.
