This is a copy of the original stainless steel Power Plate. That was amazing and all the best research came off THAT machine. This machine is much weaker and I can not believe after 16 years they have gone backwards. Not as powerful, not as durable. If you go to any area you will find lots of studios had these models, but they broke down. For the price of a small car, I think people should expect better than that. Especially not fiberglass as opposed to steel. Many companies still use steel and they are all superior. It does have a bigger plate though, but they are still using straps for some positions, which goes against every principle in vibration training. Over-all, just too expensive for something only 50% complete.
