Best Price: £6,825 from Vibration Fitness.co.uk With free Power Plate MY3 worth £970 or others up to £1,200
The Power Plate Pro 5 is perhaps the 'Rolls Royce' of home use Power Plates. But it also comes with that sort of price tag!
The Pro 5 replaces the previous Power Plate Next Generation. If money wasn't an issue I would certainly opt for this one. It just feels like a solid piece of equipment. The platform is more circular and has much more surface space than the My5. This does of course allow for a greater range of movement.
The maximum weight allowance of 180kg/ 400lbs makes this unit also interesting for the slightly bigger built amongst us. The timer settings are 30, 45 and 60 sec and the vibration settings are 30, 35, 40 and 50Hz but you can also increase the frequency in one step increments, which I love and it's a feature that I would personally like to see on all Vibration Trainers.
The Power Plate Pro 5 also has two upper body straps and gets supplied with one contoured mat, free DVD and a manual.
The Power Plate Pro 5 has certainly got what it takes and I can see why this machine is being used commercially in Health and Fitness Clubs. If you are considering to buy this model for home use then I would think it would only make sense if there is more than one person that will make regular use of it, otherwise it is just too expensive in my view.
Akabusi Thumbs Up:
Solid piece of exercise equipment.
Platform shape and size allow for great range of movement.
Due to weight and solid suspension of the unit you can easily perform lunges and jumps onto the platform.
One step increments possible to increase vibration frequency.
High max weight allowance, ideal for people on weight loss programme.
Main 'switchboard' is very user-friendly, easy to read with simple graphics, so you don't waste time figuring out operating instructions.
Akabusi Thumbs Down:
I do find the start up very abrupt, comes as a little bit of a surprise if you are a novice.
The price is high if machine is part of home set up.
The motors make more noise than other machines.
Only comes in one colour( silver).
