If you’re spending serious money on a vibration plate, two names come up again and again: Power Plate and Hypervibe. The Power Plate MOVE and the Hypervibe G17 Pro are very different machines, though, and they suit different people. Neither is sold on Amazon UK, so you’ll buy direct or from another UK retailer.
The quick verdict
Buy the Power Plate MOVE for research-grade vertical vibration at home, usually at a lower price and in a smaller footprint. It’s our best premium pick. Consider the Hypervibe G17 Pro if you want maximum pivotal intensity, handles, or a 200kg user limit, and have the space and budget for a commercial-band machine.

Motion
The MOVE is mainly vertical, running at 30 to 40Hz, the range most research uses. The G17 Pro is a pivotal plate, which rocks like a seesaw, with an amplitude of up to 7mm across 5 to 35Hz. Pivotal motion at high amplitude is generally much more intense. Our guide to types of vibration plate explains the difference.
Size and handles
The G17 Pro is an upright machine with handles, weighing 83kg. The MOVE is a 39kg platform without handlebars. If you want something to hold, that favours the G17 Pro. If space is tight, the MOVE is far easier to live with.
Price and warranty
The MOVE usually sits in the ££££ Premium band when discounted (£££££ at full list price), and the G17 Pro in the £££££ Commercial band. Both come with two years of cover, and Hypervibe adds a 90-day returns window.
Which should you buy?
For most people spending this much, the Power Plate MOVE. The G17 Pro is the choice for heavier users, clinics, or anyone who specifically wants high-amplitude pivotal training with handles. Read the full Power Plate MOVE review and Hypervibe G17 Pro review.
