@sammydog01 Reading the reviews apparently they are given an extra warranty year for a 5 star review. Mentioned a number of times.
Also what is shaky is one person says “Dr. Mercola” recommends doing this. Umm that is one of the biggest snake oil salesmen/medical scam artists out there. Want to cure your cancer (doesn’t matter what kind) then get from him (cash only as insurance doesn’t pay for it and he doesn’t accept insurance) IV “purified” urine. Finally they did a clinical trial with that and stopped it early because everyone using his snake oil died and those using conventional treatment did not. Oh wait… there’s more. Cure your allergies with urine shots… And what is sad is that desperate people believe this.
@JohnMorris It first gave me an F then said the rating was old and asked if I wanted to recalculate- sure, why not. Looks like fakespot didn’t recognize the new reviews as fake and bumped up the rating. Very sneaky, fitness people.
I cannot comment on this machine but I can comment on vibration machines in general. Wifey has MS and I have heart problems with some thrombosis at times, swelling and cramping. Wifey started using a commercial machine at the back breaking people that helped her MS. Her tingling and weakness improved after using it. Sadly that was only once every 2 weeks and expensive so we bought a vibration machine about twice as large as this one with handles for just a bit more. It only has one type of vibration basically up and down and we use it daily. It has greatly improved the quality of our lives and increases bloodflow which lowers the nerve tingles and cramping issues.
Again I cannot speak for this model but if you have leg tightness, cramps, medical conditions anything with legs and feet, and your doctor is ok with it, I HIGHLY suggest getting a vibration machine. I like that this one has more types of vibration. I don’t like that it doesn’t have handles to hold onto, although if I had the money to purchase it I could easily get around that by installing a handicap bar onto a wall and placing this near it.
Wanted to add that most of these come with little instruction but pay attention to the part about using it. They suggest a break in period where you use it for x minutes the first day, wait a few days then again. People get it, stand on it for an hour multiple times, get sore and feel like crap and return it or toss it in the closet. You have to let your body adapt and it takes a week or so, or did for us, before it helps you instead of beats you.
This irks me more than it should. I went to war on wOOt one day, including with the seller of the product who claimed some bullshit study, with vibration machines (especially the expensive ones). I will let it go this time… But I will still call BULLSHIT.
If anyone is planning a trip to Asia, this would be a great tool for conditioning yourself for those traditional squat toilets they have some places there.
I was very skeptical but bought to help leg circulation. I waited for several weeks to submit this review but it is amazing! After a 15 minute session using one of the programs my legs feel like jelly. I can feel the results for days my legs get so sore. Fixed my circulation problem and I now use 5 days a week as the basis for my exercise program. For the money, $179, it is a real bargain.
@RiotDemon These things work on the principle of working out your stabilizing muscles. Thing is though, all of it is snake oil. You can get the same effect by using free weights.
@fastharry Then perhaps don’t look on here every day and post something negative? I don’t get the point of bashing a company unless they’ve done something personal against you.
@djslack …not just disappointed…but pissed off at improper packaging and the general lack of non caring regarding the whole transaction…but apparently I am not the only one who thinks MEH should be returning to it’s roots by the looks of the comments in the last 2 months…
@fastharry@mayberrym They’ve had some stinkers, and this is one in my opinion, but those massage pillows are really nice. Most people seem to love them. Why would you dump on a nice massage pillow?
@fastharry@sammydog01 That’s my point. I don’t really care for either of these products. There is someone out there that thinks it’s worth it I’m sure. I do enjoy checking out the meh deal of the day and reading their clever commentary on the products. Whether I like the product or not, I don’t see a point in taking a daily dump on the company.
@nolrak If you do buy one, refuse delivery if it’s around 35 pounds. Although, the weight on my package never changed from the placeholder, so you may never know until it gets there.
@jnanas I read the vibration technology was invented back in the 60s to help with people in the space program. As in NASA. No scientists there though I bet.
lol - people will buy anything simply to avoid the simple steps of NOT shoveling mountains of garbage in your pie-hole and getting off your fat ass and doing something that’s actually taxing…
8 have been sold but there is a problem with the map!!! There are 8 states highlighted, of which two are in black and two are in gray. Must be new math or something - couldn’t possibly be that the map lies
@djslack Maybe in the fly in black but but I’d think the size of Seattle would make up for it in WA. And here I thought this map was done by numbers sold only. Guess not. Or maybe it is just marketing hyperbole wanting to make it look more popular than it is. Kind of like the fake (bribery induced) 5 stars on the reviews…
@djslack@Kidsandliz Washington has a lower population than any of the light colored states by a lot. It’s always been items sold per population as far as I know.
@therealjrn I would really like one of these, but the similarity to snake oil just makes me think they’ll need to get a lot cheaper first. I want to be suckered into buying one!
I can get the same effect by sitting on the washing machine
I got the previous model of this thing in my 35 pound Fuko. I tried it once, so far. I’m pretty sure I now know what it’s like to be Jello.
Doesn’t look like you can store enough clothes on it to make it worth while like my other workout equipment, so I’m going to say a HARD pass.
Some things never change.
@Kerig3 Ahh but the one can claim it helps your balance since the base jiggles.
My “new” fitness club. Wanna join?
Hahaha…, sorry, hang on, I’ll compose myself, ok, ROTFLMAO!!!
No, seriously…,mwa·ha·ha·ha, I think I just pee’d a little.
Someone pass the bong around again, I think marketing has had enough.
If they manage to sell even a dozen of these, I’ll be impressed.
This is weird, even by Meh standards
Remember those vibrating exercise belt machines from the 50’s that didn’t actually do anything? This reminds me of those.
They offer an extra 1 year warranty if you write a 5 star review. I have serious doubts this is legit
@DaveInSoCal Top review is 5 star titled Very Bad Quality. I wonder if they got the free extended warranty?
All right, who bought one? Fess up, we might go easy on you. Who am I kidding, what the ever loving fuck were you thinking?
@mtb002 That they wanted to dislocate their fat?
@mtb002 First one sold in WA. Washington, you crazy…
@mtb002 Five sold so far!
@mtb002 33 sold. Really???
Seeing this in “motion”, I would rather stay fat.
@Kerig3 But it uses scientifically engineered technology!
They could have at least gotten a back shot of her standing on the thing.
@Kerig3
/giphy fat jiggle
@Kerig3 the lady in the video that appeared in the bottom-left corner after this one really seems to like it:
too bad you didn’t take a pic of her straddling it…you might have sold a few…
Fakespot rating of F. You don’t see many F ratings at fakespot.
I just reran fakespot and it changed to a rating of A. Someone paying them off?
@sammydog01 It seems to depend on - well, I’m not sure what it depends on… I see both scores here: https://www.fakespot.com/company/rock-solid-wholesale

It’s a hoverboard simulator, right?
@mike808 With training straps
@Kidsandliz So it’s a strap-on?
@mike808 no - look at the first photo
/giphy vibrations
Won’t fit in the drawer. Pass.
@mehgrl sounds like you need a bigger drawer
@nolrak Tell me about it.

@Outofmehmind I had no idea this thing had a legitimate use. Thanks for the report.
/giphy um… what?
This irks me more than it should. I went to war on wOOt one day, including with the seller of the product who claimed some bullshit study, with vibration machines (especially the expensive ones). I will let it go this time… But I will still call BULLSHIT.
A fitting Meh deal- good good good good vibrations ( aka beach boys song) but still meh no
@AttyVette I thought that was a Mr bungle song
Okay so I couldn’t fuck the pillows can I at least get jiggy with this thing?
@vinuash What happens if you use the vibrator pillows with this?
@mehcuda67 @vinuash you’d get an “after burn”
Tell you what, I’ll buy one if you move the decimal point two places to the left.
@nolrak Nah - the delivery charge kills it.
@JohnMorris @nolrak For six bucks, I’d try it as an extremely violent back massager.
1 out of 100 downstairs neighbors approve.
I don’t want a vibrating workout machine. However, I might want a paint mixer that can do four gallons at once.
If anyone is planning a trip to Asia, this would be a great tool for conditioning yourself for those traditional squat toilets they have some places there.
6 sold so far. Going to end up as a giveaway.
Is it just me or does the rubber footpad look like it’s coming off in the pictures?
I was very skeptical but bought to help leg circulation. I waited for several weeks to submit this review but it is amazing!

Wtf

What’s shakin’?
@shahnm It won’t be me.
Bunk, just absolute bunk.
Well this is a shaky deal.
/image shaky deal
The spam has leaked to the referral list again.
@PlacidPenguin Playboy PLUS tits? Sign me the hell up!
@PlacidPenguin I don’t mean literally. Please don’t sign me up literally.
I’ve used a bigger one of these at a gym. It made my legs exhausted.
I only tried it when the gym was absolutely empty because I never saw anyone use it, ever.
After the one use, I never used it again for fear of embarrassment.
@RiotDemon These things work on the principle of working out your stabilizing muscles. Thing is though, all of it is snake oil. You can get the same effect by using free weights.
I might be a fat fuck who wants to lose weight but this is a hell no, wouldn’t want it even if it was being given away on Craigslist
Is the idea to have my fat shaking video is put on YouTube to shame me into dieting?
Scientifically engineered & doctor approved!
(I’m done, goodnight.
)
@Kerig3 Woohoo! Look at that blubber fly!
What, no Square Master?
That last picture… whoo! She’s SMOKIN’!
/giphy smokin
@fuzzmanmatt I went through the photos a few times before I saw that. I was about to call them out for not doing a fun photo.
This machine worked for Mark Wahlberg. He even performed a song about it.
/giphy Good vibrations Marky Mark
@MrMark Seriously? Come on come on come on!
@MrMark He also went on to make that Transformers abomination - so perhaps the long-term affects are quite detrimental…
@mayberrym you ought to start with the 80 people above me lambasting MEH for this crap…
MEH is falling…and falling fast. Crap items, NOT good pricing, repeat items for more money…
@fastharry Then perhaps don’t look on here every day and post something negative? I don’t get the point of bashing a company unless they’ve done something personal against you.
@mayberrym After he was disappointed in a Fuko, he promised he’d get his “pound of flesh”.
He seems to be working on it, one mosquito-sized biting comment at a time.
@mayberrym and yet, more and more customers are doing it…wonder why…
@djslack …not just disappointed…but pissed off at improper packaging and the general lack of non caring regarding the whole transaction…but apparently I am not the only one who thinks MEH should be returning to it’s roots by the looks of the comments in the last 2 months…

Is this a true hoverboard? Is that why it costs more because there’s no wheels.
Uh, no…
Meh and no further comment.
@salaosantiago Set your alarm clock, notifications and bribe a kid to remind you to click so you can be tied.
@Kidsandliz This was my most favorite meh click of them all. If I miss tomorrow I’ll still have that satisfaction.
Jiggling body;
An unattractive image;
Meh can keep this one.
Also, someone remind me to not buy the next couple IRKs
@nolrak If you do buy one, refuse delivery if it’s around 35 pounds. Although, the weight on my package never changed from the placeholder, so you may never know until it gets there.
/giphy no thank you
Seems like more bogus reviews to pump a product.
Reviewmeta says this:

That’s before getting into the ‘science’ of why these machines work (there isn’t any).
@jnanas I read the vibration technology was invented back in the 60s to help with people in the space program. As in NASA. No scientists there though I bet.
Y’all probably could have just used yesterday’s write up for this one too. Dirty.

A cheaper vibrator.
Who believes in this s#h#I#t? This is from past or future. America needs something from present at one third the price.
@givemehdeal That’s not what Meh does.
They do last year’s stuff, tomorrow’s price.
@givemehdeal you’re allowed to say shit here.
@givemehdeal @RiotDemon encouraged, even
I believe this machine actually shrunk the lady in the last image… she was clearly bigger when she started using this thing…
lol - people will buy anything simply to avoid the simple steps of NOT shoveling mountains of garbage in your pie-hole and getting off your fat ass and doing something that’s actually taxing…
SYPH GOYA!
8 have been sold but there is a problem with the map!!! There are 8 states highlighted, of which two are in black and two are in gray. Must be new math or something - couldn’t possibly be that the map lies
EDIT - now we know where the gullible live.
@Kidsandliz maybe that one person is a higher percentage of the population in the darker states?
@djslack Maybe in the fly in black but but I’d think the size of Seattle would make up for it in WA. And here I thought this map was done by numbers sold only. Guess not. Or maybe it is just marketing hyperbole wanting to make it look more popular than it is. Kind of like the fake (bribery induced) 5 stars on the reviews…
@djslack @Kidsandliz Washington has a lower population than any of the light colored states by a lot. It’s always been items sold per population as far as I know.
@djslack @Kidsandliz @sammydog01
13 states, and 13 sold.
If you zoom in on the states, however, 2 counties in Colorado are lit up…
@PlacidPenguin I guess Colorado takes their fitness seriously.
@sammydog01
Do the math though.
If 12 states have 1 county lit up, and 1 has 2 counties lit up, how many countries lit up?
@PlacidPenguin I only see one county in Colorado highlighted.
@sammydog01
I stand corrected. That really IS the shape of Weld county.
Ugh. I already did some learning for today though.
@djslack @PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 When I looked at it it was 8 and 8 as can be seen by the screenshot.
The first photo is the last photo. Not even Irk or a well placed baby’s arm could make it more laughable.
@mehvermore Speaking of the baby arm… that thing has been unused for ages and ages and ages… a shame.
@mehvermore Or a cigarette?
This just looks like slavery with extra steps
I just clicked between photos 1 and 3 for a nice workout!
What is this shit???
hundred seveney four bucks and no irkfomercial.
what is todays meh face supposed to be?
@username Reminds me of my time with the boys in the hood.
@username Legacy punch card meh
So, is 33 sold an all time low?
According to Morningsave these are normally $2,000! Of course a quick search comes up with $250 to $300. Still not worth it.
@bruno187 How about $5,000? Is it worth it now?
@therealjrn I would really like one of these, but the similarity to snake oil just makes me think they’ll need to get a lot cheaper first. I want to be suckered into buying one!
@bruno187 Maybe you’ll get lucky. My massaging love pillow keeps dropping in price…
