Max. user weight

The largest weight of the user, which the vibratory massager is able to transfer without breakage. It is highly undesirable to exceed this indicator: the device will not necessarily break down immediately, but it can happen at any time, and such cases are not covered by the guarantee.

Choosing a vibration massager for a small number of people (one user, for a family, etc.) is worth with some margin — at least 10-15 kg. This will serve as additional insurance against breakdowns. And in the case of public use (for example, in fitness centers), it is worth focus on models with the greatest possible load-bearing capacity — after all, massagers can be used by people of different builds, including very large.

Power

The power of the motor installed in the vibratory massager. The more powerful the engine, the more intense the impact can be and the more speeds and programs can be provided in the device. However, high power in itself does not necessarily mean an abundance of possibilities. In addition, the actual efficiency to a greater extent depends not on power, but on the characteristics of the belts used, the frequency and amplitude of vibrations, etc. Therefore, this parameter, in fact, is secondary, and it is worth choosing a vibratory massager primarily according to the features of programs and equipment. Thus, for many models, power is not indicated at all.

Technically, the power consumption of the device and the load on the power grid depend on the power, but even in the most powerful vibrating massagers, these figures are relatively small — up to 1 kW.

Number of programs

The number of individual work programs provided for in the design of the massager. Do not confuse this parameter with the number of speeds (see below): many programs provide changing the speed during operation.

The more this number — the more versatile the device, the higher the probability of finding the best option for each specific case. On the other hand, note that the specific range of programs may be different, it should be clarified before buying. As a result, it is quite possible that a model with fewer programs will be more suitable, while a more advanced device may not have the right options at all.

Number of speeds

The number of speeds at which the device is capable of operating. In many classic vibratory massagers (see "Type"), where there are no special programs, this indicator actually corresponds to the number of operating modes. Anyway, the intensity of the impact directly depends on the speed; which means that the more speeds, the more options to choose from. On the other hand, the specific speeds and how they are suitable for specific purposes, it still does not hurt to clarify.

Remote control

The presence of a remote control in the delivery set of the vibratory massager.

The main convenience of the remote control in this case is that it can be used to control the device without being distracted from the procedure. For a number of reasons, this function is found mainly among vibrating platforms (see "Type").

Country of origin

The country that is the "homeland" of the brand under which the vibratory massager is released. Note that the actual place of production may be located in a completely different country; and the country of origin of the brand is indicated in order to make the product more attractive to the buyer. On the other hand, in the modern world, the quality of a product depends not so much on the country, but on how this quality is controlled by a particular manufacturer. Therefore, when choosing, you should focus primarily on the brand, and not on the country.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the equipment in the assembled and ready to work state. It is important to note that in fact more space is needed for comfortable and proper operation of the simulator.
