Power Plate makes the vibration machines you’ll find in many gyms and physio clinics. For home use, it offers two very different plates: the full-size MOVE and the portable Personal Power Plate. Both usually sit in the ££££ Premium band, though the MOVE reaches £££££ at full list price, and neither is sold on Amazon UK.
The quick verdict
Buy the Power Plate MOVE if you want the full Power Plate experience, with a 30 to 40Hz range and a big, stable platform. It’s our best premium pick. Buy the Personal Power Plate if you need something you can put away or take with you, and you’re happy with a single frequency.

Frequency and settings
The MOVE covers 30 to 40Hz, the range most research uses, with six levels across low and high settings. The Personal runs at a fixed 35Hz with a low or high option. That’s within the research range, but it limits how far you can progress.
Size and portability
This is the big difference. The MOVE weighs 39kg and needs a permanent spot. The Personal weighs 16.5kg, comes with a carry case and stores away. Note that the Personal’s 120kg user limit is lower than the MOVE’s 136kg.
Warranty
The MOVE comes with two years of cover in the UK, the Personal with one year. At these prices, that’s worth weighing up.
Which should you buy?
If you have the space, the MOVE is the better plate and the better long-term buy. If you don’t, the Personal gives you Power Plate quality in a much smaller package. Read the full Power Plate MOVE review and Personal Power Plate review.
