Close Look on the Differences

VT003F	Personal Power Plate
Machine Weight
VT003F has a light weight (26lb), more convenient for home use.	Much heavier weight (40lb). The added weight of casting iron machine base increases the machine stability on the floor.
Motor Power
A 80W DC motor is adopted for the structure, mass, eccentric wheels and springs of VT003F for optimized performance for users under 120kg (264lb) body weight.	With a 160W DC motor, Power Plate Personal may be designed to drive heavier eccentric wheels and higher spring resistance, which can deliver better performance for heavy-weight users.
Frequency
VT003F is designed to have adjustable frequency from 15Hz to 40Hz. This makes VT003F a versatile vibration machine for wide range of applications. Especially it allow new users to progress from lower frequency to higher frequency.	Personal Power Plate comes with a fixed frequency of 35Hz. This may limit the use of this product.
Session Time
VT003F's session time can be set from 1 minute to 20 minutes. The default session time setting is 10 minutes.	Personal Power Plate's designed session time of either 30 or 60 seconds may be too short for a regular exercise.
Program Control Mode
VT003F comes with 3 program control modes to run on a spectrum of frequencies.	Personal Power Plate does not have program control feature, because its vibration frequency is fixed at 35Hz.
Accesssories
Four anti-vibration pads included in the package.	Accessories available for purchase: 1) hand rail, and 2) anti-vibration base for the reduction of downwards vibraiton.
Conclusion
VT003F is a light weight versatile vibration plate, well-built to offer a balanced performance with adjustable vibration frequencies, affordable and suitable for daily household use.	Personal Power Plate is delivers uncompromising performance for heavy weight users, but its fixed frequency of 35Hz may limit its usage.
