Frames are now lighter than ever. Back in the day they were heavy to dampen the floor vibration and sound. Now you can actually see the control panel without it shaking.
With the exception of the Hypervibe motor which under 14 hertz its quiet but loud at 28 hertz, they had the first flex frame I reviewed. They have a dampening system which no one has copied yet.
The weight is around 110 pounds while the Vmax Pulser is around 160 pounds and has a much larger base and three reinforcement bars under the machine to dampen the vibration and sound. It is whisper quiet like the Zaaz 20k.
Most lightweight machines on the market are super loud and when I step off the platform for a second the machine starts moving across the room and offset the motor. Plastic models in the past were very loud and rattled. If I am going to sell a frame that is not 100% metal it must have flex.
Note: Many cheap frames get off-center from usage. When this happens it sends vibration to the floor and picture frames start becoming uneven and dishes start rattling. Even lightbulbs on the first floor if the machine is on the second floor start getting loose and shut off.
A heavy gauge frame is only important if there is no flex to the frame. The Vmax Pulser is an example of a solid stiff frame with no flex. Many frames have to be very thick to dampen the sound of a non-brushless motor.
Note to those with chemical sensitivies:
There are several machines that have no off-gassing from paints and rubber mats glued into the vibration platform. Many of these are spray painted also. If you don't want a machine with a rubber or formaldehyde smell please let me know before you order so there will be no surprises.
