I am not looking for an exercise replacement, I work out regularl and enjoy it. I also understand this wouldn't fix circulation/ bone density issues. I see it more as something that could help. I don't know that I would want it at home, just wondering if anyone has a home model and what they think of it.

Check out LifePro vibration plates. They are available on Amazon and have lots of reviews. LifePro also has a website. Their products are used by many physical therapists and chiropractors. I have their Rumplex model and have been impressed by its quality and the product support they provide.

I bought a vibration plate on amazon two years ago for $119. The model I bought is gone, but I see others for as little as $95. I love mine! Read the reviews of severals models, you will get inspired.

I've done whole body vibration for probably the last 4 yrs. My local Naturopath has 2 different Vibabody models. Both are mid priced professional models.
They are superior for increasing circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage. As you begin they recommend no more than 5 minutes. The model below also has oscillating plates which I prefer. They have adjustable speeds and timers. You'll KNOW you've had a workout. One caution, weight loss? Not so much.

I "might" buy the use of such a device for use by astronaut, but I need to see some clinical trial evidence that this thing is anything more than snake oil.
The best thing to do to increase circulation is walking and/or swimming.
I wouldn't go near such a thing. Think on this: The vibrations caused by this device causes the brain to vibrate back and forth within the calvarium; this vibration also causes the micro crystals in the inner ear to vibrate, possibly causing some of the crystals to vibrate "out of place." When this occurs - vertigo; and, way lower down on the list are those with plaques or clots, unknown to them. Yes, this would be quite rare, but all it takes is one person with such a condition on such a device throwing a piece of plaque or a clot and you've got a Code Blue in an establishment that is probably unable to handle such situations.
I think I'll pass.

I avoid anything that vibrates due to the inner ear as I have had many episodes of vertigo! Even the treadmill is to much vibration for me. I am fine when I get on it but even slowing it down for a long time before attempting to get off I still am dizzy and feel like I am on a boat. My brain/balance and inner ear just doesn't do well with anything that vibrates.

I asked my vascular doc about these types of things. She said they're not effective.
