Hi.  I have heard two hosts say that this is a "return TSV" from May.  While I no longer watch QVC the way I did 25 yrs ago, I usually check the TSV daily, but I don't remember this (maybe the Christmas champagne?lol)

*There are NO reviews to check out.  (I hate it when they change the item number to make it appear as a blank slate!!)

*Did you purchase this in May?  Thoughts on this model?

*IF you have a vibration plate/platform, do you like it? Why? Why not?

I had previouly looked at the Tony Little model on HSN, but its gone now too. Poof. Not even a sold out page!

I could find only one other thread about this TSV, and it turned into an 'I use this other equipment' thread.  I have been looking at this type of equipment for awhile and would like the input.

This appears to be the "new and improved" version of the old vibrating belts of the 1950s.  These were pretty much a joke at the time and were bebunked by medical science as useless.  They quickly faded from the scene, only to be seen in comedy skits.

The product concept was new to me, so when someone posted here recently (don't remember the forum) and was very enthusiastic about the one she bought, I looked into them.

I didn't go far to find serious warnings.

"Vibration can have adverse effects on a number of physiologic systems. This work indicates that readily accessible WBV devices markedly exceed ISO guidelines for safety, and extreme caution must be practiced when considering their use."

That stopped me cold. The shopping channels shouldn't be selling something that could hurt people.

Check out vibration therapy on google. Also, you can read a lot of reviews on Amazon, of various vibration plates.  I got a LifePro one, and love it.  Do your research before you buy.  Make sure it's for you.  Not eveybody likes them.  My husband gets on it for 2 min, and he's done.  LOL  Good luck!

If one could shake the weight off, nobody would be fat.

Before I had my double hip and double knee joint replacements I had two vibration plates I used daily....mostly used for helping build  bone mass.

 I read that the vibrations can loosen joint replacements...and I wanted to take NO CHANCES with that!

So I donated both of them to goodwill.

Which model of LifePro do you have?

Not something you would want to buy.  Too many people IN THE KNOW told me it not only does not work but it might be unsafe.

I wonder what it feels like when it shakes your booty and I wonder if you try to talk while on it, it makes your voice shaky.

@noodleann  thanks for posting that article. It's from a reputable source, so I trust the warnings.
