Vibration typeSide-alternating (also “oscillating”): the plate rocks like a seesaw around its center. Vertical (linear): the plate moves up and down, including triplanar professional models. Combined: both modes, usually with two motors, often marketed as 3D, 4D or 5D. If the manufacturer lists “oscillation” and “vibration” with the same frequency range for a single motor, that is one mode
Side-alternating (seesaw)
Combined (3D)
Form factorFlat plate without handle (often fits under a sofa or bed), plate with detachable handle, or model with a fixed column and console – handle and column provide support, especially for beginners and older users

Verdict
Pros & cons
Die Merach CV40 ist eine flache Wippe mit 13 mm Ausschlag und einer Trittfläche von 72 x 38 cm, die schwere Nutzer bis 200 kg ruhig trägt. Sie passt zu Einsteigern, die nach langer Pause mit Kniebeugen wieder in Gang kommen wollen. Der Haken: Gesteuert wird nur per Fernbedienung, Tasten am Gerät fehlen, und in Etagenwohnungen gehört eine Matte darunter.

- Kundendienst ersetzte defekte Platten und Fernbedienungen schnell
- Zugbänder für Übungen mit dem Oberkörper im Lieferumfang
Cons
- Keine Tasten am Gerät, ohne Fernbedienung nicht steuerbar
- Fernbedienung reagiert teils erst nach mehreren Tastendrücken
- Vibration überträgt sich in die Decke, keine Bodenmatte dabei

- Bluetooth-Lautsprecher klingt dünn und blechern
Die Sportstech sVibe ist eine echte Kombi-Platte im flachen Format: Zwei getrennte Motoren treiben Wippe mit bis zu 17 mm Hub und Vibration mit 41 bis 53 Hz an.
