The Bslimmer stood out for its circular design, gold and pink colour options, remote control and transport wheels. It looked great, but key details such as its size, weight limit and frequency were never clearly published. That makes it hard to recommend over a modern plate with clear specs and a warranty.
What it did well
- Eye-catching circular design
- Remote control
- Transport wheels
- Support bars and resistance cords
Where it falls short now
- Key specs never clearly published
- Power figures don’t reveal performance
- Hard to find support or spares
Most vibration plates are rectangular boards or upright machines. The Bslimmer did something different with a circular platform, available in gold or pink, plus support bars, resistance cords, a remote control, an LED display, a workout DVD and built-in wheels.
It was marketed with a top speed of 2,500rpm and 1.5HP peak power. Those figures sound impressive, but they don’t tell you the frequency or amplitude of the vibration, which is what really matters.

| Advertised power | 1.5HP peak |

What was it like?
The Bslimmer’s appeal was largely its look and convenience. The remote meant you didn’t have to bend down to change settings, and the wheels made it easier to move around. The support bars and cords added some upper-body options.
What was missing was the information you need to buy with confidence, such as dimensions, weight, maximum user weight and type of motion. If you’re considering one second-hand, ask the seller to measure it and show you the label and manual.
Is it still worth buying?
For most people, no. Modern plates such as the LifePro Waver and MERACH CV30 Pro come with clear specs, remote controls and warranties at sensible prices.
Buying a used Bslimmer? Check these first
- Get the model number and manual. Ask for a photo of the label on the machine and make sure any manual you’re given matches it. The manual tells you the maximum user weight and how to use it safely.
- See it running. Ask the seller to show every mode, the speed controls, the timer and, most importantly, the stop button working.
- Look it over. Check for a damaged power cable, cracked casing, worn rubber feet and anything loose around the column or handles.
- Think about moving it. Upright machines are heavy and awkward. Measure your doorways and plan how you’ll get it home and into place.
- Weigh up the total cost. Add collection, any missing parts and the risk that spares are hard to find. A new budget plate with a warranty is often the better deal.
What to buy instead
If you liked the Bslimmer’s compact, easy-to-move design, the MERACH CV30 Pro and the LifePro Waver are the modern plates we’d choose.
