I admit to being concerned about things made in China, especially at this price. I am over 70 and have had two hips replaced, and i was concerned about how it might impact my joints. So — here's my thorough estimate of things after three weeks (in time to return if necessary).

First, It doesn't seem to affect my joints — knees and hips seem fine so far (and I haven't pushed it too hard yet).
This does indeed vibrate (oscillate, I guess is the appropriate word), and it does have many levels of oscillation and three pre-programmed programs that mix up the speed/levels of oscillation. Other than diversifying the 'workout,' not sure what actual benefit they might offer.

The absolute lack of any suggestion of how to make good use of the speed and program options, I think (for the price) is abysmal! I have googled it all and looked on YouTube, and there is some info out there, but you're really on your own! I've read suggestions that low vibration vs high is better in some instances or based on a specific desired result. But YOU have to dig all this up. I'll also add that the written "manual" suffers from the Made-in-China syndrome of being hard to decipher in its translation to English. I toyed with 3 stars just for that, but let this review suffice — it works fine mechanically.

I've been using it daily for about three weeks. I am absolutely looking for actual EXERCISE results that I can feel in my muscles. This would have no use otherwise. So, I CAN feel it right after I use the machine, but I don't feel that ongoing, genuine, can't-use-those-muscles kind of stiffness that you feel 1-2 days after starting a serious new exercise. I, myself, don't need much — I just want some added strength to help my mobility issues, and it SEEMS to be helping with that. (I'm also not adding that much of my own effort while using this; I'm doing some shallow squats and tensing my ab and butt muscles.) So, I'm guessing that as I get stronger and can add more of my own effort, this does add to what I'm doing, which is a good thing.

I chose this one because I didn't want the bigger ones that give you handle bars, and I HOPED that the slightly higher price over some other options would mean better quality (that certainly is not a given!). I'll add more to this if necessary.

This is a great choice if you are considering a vibration plate. I bought another brand several years ago and this one is more affordable and has more options, more detailed screen and a large remote which is less likely to get lost. I bought it because everyone was hurting from taking care of my grandmother. I left it at the house where five of us rotate care of her so everyone could enjoy the benefits. They all say it loosens their hips and back after using one round on the second setting. They are quite a bit older than me so I got the one with the handle and they’re not afraid to use it because the handle gives him something to hold onto. It makes him feel more secure. I would not hesitate recommending this vibration plate. If I had to do it over again I probably would’ve purchased my first one from this company instead. It’s well-made and works great! I wanted to post a photo of them using it, but they all warned me not do that to them publicly.
