Most vibration plates sold online are mass-produced in overseas factories using low-cost plastic, weak motors, and outdated components. These materials might cut prices—but they also cut corners on durability, performance, and long-term value.

Cheap vibration plates often rely on underpowered motors that struggle to deliver consistent, therapeutic vibration. Not only does this reduce effectiveness, but it also creates loud, distracting noise that makes regular use uncomfortable.

Most off-brand plates come with little to no warranty—because even the manufacturers know they won’t last. If something breaks, you're often stuck with no support, no replacement, and no refund.

Many vibration plates are loaded with flashy features and preset programs that look good in ads but don’t deliver real performance. They’re built to sell fast—not to support recovery, rehab, or long-term health.
