As the saying goes, "you get what you paid for." This notion is very much true if you are in the market to purchase a vibration machine, and trying to choose between the various brands and models.
Better machines, especially commercial models, cost more because they are manufactured with high-grade components like steel. Thus, one can expect the machine to perform better and longer between servicing, than compared to home models which tend to be flimsy in construction due to the over-use of clumsy and easily broken plastic parts.
While a majority constructed plastic vibration machine may be significantly lower in price compared to one made of steel construction, the consumer is hardly getting a bargain. Plastic is often used in products such as automobiles to deaden vibrations. So it doesn't make common sense to produce a machine that is suppose create vibrations out of plastic which characteristically absorbs vibrations. Secondly, it can be very difficult to find replacement parts and service for low-grade exercise equipment in general. Chances are you will have to resort to holding irreplaceable broken parts of the machine together with duct tape and bubble gum. Third, cheap model vibration machines rarely produce the varying accurate platform speeds and vibration strengths equal to more adapted models.
So before you spend your money on a vibration machine thoroughly check the construction and design, manufacturer's track record, availability of parts and services and the warranty.
Take notice that I have offered no suggestions on which machine you should buy, because quite frankly I have no personal interest in promoting any of the companies that produce vibration machines. I'm simply educating you on how to make a smart decision. No more, no less.
