Year-End-Review- Vibration Machines

Last year was the game changing year for us. Shaft drives came down in price. Spiral took off and went from 500 watts to 1000 watts due to competition for more G force at prices low enough to sell them at. The Vivovibe (Vivowellness.com) sold out of their 460 model due to being on the front cover of hammacher.com and their magazine. They make the most expensive and powerful vibration machine on the market that goes to 40 hertz and is shaft driven. That magazine helped me sell about thirty Vivo 460s from people searching for them. I can't thank them enough.

The Hypervibe machine was my best selling residential belted model that goes to

28 hertz. Most people that I called back said they never went over 20 hertz as it

was so powerful. The Nitrofit deluxe looks identical to the Hypervibe but only goes

to 20 hertz. This was the one that people bought that didn't need to go to super

high accellerations. The Vibra-trim VT400 and Myforeverfit.com 2-N-1 put in a dual

spiral motor making their 14 hertz models feel just as powerful as the models that

go over 20 hertz. The latest is the Pulser and the Vibra-Trim VT500 (The

VT500 from Vibra-trim.net is not currently available right now).

I expect the Pulser and the VT500 to dominate the models for 2014. The difference

is that they go to 11mm amplitude and with a bigger plate, back in the earlier generations

the only ones that wen to 11mm were the plates that were 21.5 inches or less, definately not the ones that are over 27 inches wide.

They had 500 watts or less then. 500 watts would have a hard time pushing a big plate such as this. The more amplitude the heavier the machine needs to be and have a wider base to keep it from shaking. Back about 5 years ago, something like this would probably cost about 5000 or more. Kwikfit4u.com sold the original spiral machine that looks identical to the Vibratrim vt400 for 4495. Now, on their site they sell that same model for around 1500 and has a 2hp motor. The 2-N-1 by Myforeverfit.com put a 2.5 HP motor and 1000 watts in theirs and costs slightly more. Shortly after this the 2014 Vmax Pulser came out.

I stopped selling certain models that the belts got lose and the G force diminished and the manufactures wouldn't replace them as they said its not broke and is from normal wear and tear. The biggest problem since 2008 is that about 1 in 10 machines never broke but just the control panel board lights went out or their was a short in the base where the motor is and because people don't know how to look for the problem, they had to send in their machines in and the customer had to pay for shipping even though they had a warranty for 5 years. Only a few companies put in writing that they would pay the return shipping and shipping to back to the customer. A lot of customers got screwed since it costs about 150 to ship there and 150 to ship back. If shipping from the USA to CAnada it can cost even more. Meanwhile, it was often a wire that got loose or something that only costed about 60 dollars to replace or fix. So, I ONLY deal with companies that will put in writing what they will do when it comes down to ship something that needs to be serviced even if it is 5 years down the road. Some companies in small print say they will pay for all return shipping just for the first 2 years during the 5 year warranty. Please see my 2008 to 2013 Complaint Review Page here.

When it came to results the last since 2008, the people that had bad backs who mentioned bone density on my vibration quiz as their main issue, the Vibeplate was the one that no one returned and always called be back saying it helped them. The Vibeplate sends pulses to the plate without the plate actually moving as it is attached as one whole base. Most linear machienes have a motor that moves the plate up and down. This is what many people that sell the pivotal machines refer to as the Jackhammer that got a lot of bad press by them. The Sonic Life came down in price from 6000 to 4000 dollars. I was selling them for even less but the owner changed the rules giving it Map price and I had to sell them for 6000 again. I was charging just slighly over my cost just because they were so expensive to start with.

Everyone asks what model I use. Before, I didn't want people just to buy what I use because if someone has bone density problems, I am not going to tell them to get a model that has too much amplitude or too much G force at the stances they will use them on. I use the Vibra-trim Vt400 since 2010. Before that I had a Hypergravity model as my first one. Once I tried the spiral, I never went back to just pivotal. But now the shaft models have so much G force and go 25 hertz, I use the Vivovibe 460 as my first choice when I do my workout. My girlfriend and her friends come over they use the spiral mode only. I hope they don't read this but they all have cellulite and all think its funny when they start itching mid way through the 10 minute session. They think its funny when they itch. I think its sad. They all go in my fridge and take my probiotics and green juices and think just because they are friends with my girlfriend they can have it for free. I strongly recommend taking a probiotic to help assimilate the digestion of the poisons coming out of the fat because so many people have poor livers and clogged up guts that they can't process the wastes. Getting colonics and doing a liver flush really speeds it up.

For lymphatic, the spiral is always my recommendation as they go down to the low 5 hertz while you can turn the spiral up high to get the blood flowing and oxygen to the blockages caused from all the cellulite. The models that go over 20 hertz really don't need spiral as they itch just as much at these speeds. This is when I know something is working. The new Vmax Pulser goes to 14 hertz at 11mm which is insane. And it has 45 hertz on the spiral. Jacking this up on high at 14 on the pivotal and 45 on the spiral feels very similar to the Hypervibe and Vivovibe 460.

The Pulser and the VT500 and the Hypervibe are probably the most similar in power out of the two and close to the same price range. The Vivovibe costs nearly twice as much due to the shaft technology and has a totally different feel but has a small plate and is only really good for standing on it. The Pulser you can lay down and put your legs on it as the entire plate moves unlike the Vivovibe its inside the platform and the bottom of my knees hit the edge when laying down on it. 80% of the lymph vessels are in the legs and many people just lay down on the carpet and put their legs on it. See this video below to see what I am talking about.

For knee pain the spiral took over and the zero amplitude Vibeplate tied. The people that have knee pain didn't like a lot of the up and down movement as it was too jarring. The circular spiral mode was all they used. The Vmax Pulser now has an even stronger spiral at 2.5mm unlike the 1st and 2nd genertation that went to 2mm. That extra .5mm really gives more G force especially when at 45 hertz.

For fat loss, the spiral breaking up the blockages in cellulite alongwith the speed 5 setting draining everything out. Using it over level 5 can be too fast to allow the one way valves to open and close and then its just a waste of time if you don't allow the machine to do its job. many people jack the speed up thinking it is doing more work when its really the opposite.

As far as machines that I recommend, the top machines I sell are the spiral as thats the one everyone likes and enjoys the feeling from. But, the Vibeplate might not give that spiral massage but its 100% linear gives certain people what they need. For high acceleration training and bodybuilding, the Hypervibe that goes beyond 22 hertz like the Pulser. I can barely do half the pushups I can do using it on level 28. I strongly recommend this one for heavier people if using it on 28. The new Pulser is 148 lbs. The Hypervibe I believe is about 95 lbs. The Hypervibe also goes to 11mm amplitude but has a much shorter plate, around 21.5 inches unlike the Pulser that has more space for spreading the feet apart.

G Force

As far as G force is concerned, the 2.5 HP Myforeverfit 2n1 and the 3HP Vivovibe have tremendous force with heavier weight people. With most belted models the belt gets loose over time. Shaft models don't have belts. The belts even on a high end model might need to be changed eveyr 5 years as the G force weakens due to the loosening of the belts. A belt costs about 5 dollars to replace but the labor is what gets you unless you know how to change it. Home Depot should have any size belt. Some are geared better for more horsepower and pull on the belt than others. Make sure dont get a cheap belt. A lot of companies on the internet will have the same belt.

I look forward for the newest 2014 models this year that are coming out. I will be posting reviews of the Pulser and the upcoming Vibratrim VT500. I personally think that this company is holding back on their VT500 stock so they can sell the 400 models. I check their site daily and am waiting for them to post it. I just find it odd that the Pulser has been out for several months and VT500 is not out yet. I will continue to promote the Vibeplate, the spiral models from Vmax, Myforeverfit.com, Vibratrim and the new Pulser that is now dominating the market. ( I will be the first to review the Vibratrim VT500 when it comes out).

For the true linear, the Hypergravity was my top one for 2013. For commercial shaft, the Vivovibe 660 (not 460), was my top seller. The CV9 from Australia didn't make it to the USA or Canada as I had hoped. The Powervibe Zen Pro was my best sellngi one to gyms and chiropractic clinics for some reason. I think because they advertise in some chiropractic magazine. The superstart was my best selling portable model under 1000 dollars. Not one single return on this. The 2-N-1 was my overall best selling model for last year.

I am glad I can share all of my research. I know many people cant just go to a store and try these out. I feel I am only authorized to give recommendations because I have personally tried out the different brands on the market. Interviewed people who have different issues and come up with real feedback on each machine. I will update my site regularly as new machines come out.
