I received this item in super-fast time, and it arrived in perfect order. I have used it for one week now, 10 mins/day, and I love it! My comparison is against an expensive $ 2K full-body vibration machine (bulkier and much more powerful than this one) that I used a couple of times at my holistic dr's office. How does this little one compare? For me, this little vibration platform works just fine! I can tell that it's a cheaper version of the "real thing" at 2K, because this one will not vibrate as fast, but for my own needs, it really makes no difference, because I am not on the expensive one at its full power anyhow. My lower back hurts, and my dr. advised me to be on a whole body vibration machine for 10 mins a day for a few months. I am hoping this will help take away the lower back pain! I did have a problem with the batteries of the remote control, as other reviewers have pointed out. However, replacing the batteries it came with, with fresh batteries, and having figured out the right polarities, the remote then worked just fine. The max speed that this little vibration platform will go to is "20." If you are into more intense training than just enjoying 10 minutes of a seriously decent vibration, this machine is probably not for you. As a comparison, the one at my dr's office will go up to 90 (20 is, for instance, the lowest setting on the expensive 2K model that I have access to in my dr's office). I can't even see myself on anything more than 20 anyhow, and this machine is about as high in vibration as I would want to go anyhow. I like it that this little vibrating platform does not take too much space. Its operation is intuitive and easy to figure out. In the owner's manual that comes with it, there are no suggestions on which exercises to try out when it vibrates, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to give you some ideas. This Mini Crazy Fit Bio Shaker is quiet enough to be able to watch TV while on it, without needing to blast the TV volume (it is like the machine has a loud hummmmmm sound). If I keep my feet towards the middle of the platform, I feel the vibrations less. But I can keep the same speed on the machine, but widen the distance between my feet, and I feel more intense vibration. One suggestion I would have, since it does not come with any kind of handlebars that one can hold onto in case one might feel a loss of balance for some reason while on it, my suggestion would be to set the machine on the floor, initially at least, near a kitchen counter or a window sill or something like that so, until one feels secure with balance on the vibrating platform, one could have something to grab onto just in case it's needed. I think this is a really nifty, relatively inexpensive vibrator platform, I am sure glad I bought it and it relaxes my muscles when I use it. I love it! I look forward to continual use of 10 mins a day for the next months.
