Who They Are
Zaaz Studios’ humble beginning started with a replication of the Tzone Vibration studios up in Canada. Zaaz would rebrand all the machines for the USA market, and kept the Tzone brand for the Canadian market. In the USA, they would open vibration studios, armed with vibration machines, infrared saunas and other holistic health gadgets for users to come in and utilize. These types of health studios allowed the user to pay a monthly fee to utilize the vibration trainers, or to utilize the infrared saunas. Zaaz started expanding their reach and started setting up small retail kiosks in malls and shopping centers to sell their vibration machines. This was the first stepping stone in their new retail venture. Fast forward a few years and you will most likely find them at your nearby Costco or Sam’s Club. They are more commonly found in CA, CO, FL, TX, and SC, and it won’t be overly surprising if they reach out to different States soon. They are a fairly popular brand due to the fact that they set up kiosks directly inside Costco and Sam’s Club. The two machines that they manufacturer are single motor oscillation machines.
Zaaz 20K Review
The Zaaz 20K was the more popular model that Zaaz created. It was one of the very first styles of vibration machines that was ever created and stayed true to the 10 years it was out on the market, with revisions to the control panel and display unit from time to time. There is a column that supports the control panel at the top and metal side rails that are mounted just below the control panel and wraps towards the sides and branched out on to the corners. It is probably the only vibration machine that mounts rails onto the four corners of the base platform. It is a very light machine at just 105 lbs and uses a 500 W (its actually 480 W, but we’ll use 500 W just for simplicity’s sake) motor for driving the oscillation vibration. Some of the interesting (but very expensive) accessories include the athletic pad and ergonomic chair. You can read our full indepth review of the Zaaz 20K here. The 20K is a fairly expensive machine and if you absolutely must try before you buy, then go for it. Otherwise, there are other choices of machines that can give you a much bigger bang for your buck.
Zaaz 15K Review
The Zaaz 15K is virtually identical to the Zaaz 20K except the speed settings is tweaked and only goes up to 70 in addition to some special readouts like steps counter, calorie counter, and pulse monitor. The power between the two machines are practically the same and utilizes the same 500 W motor to drive the platform. The frequency range between both units are identical and is between 6-16 Hz and produces a low G-force (why is G-force important?). If you can do away with some novelty features like the steps counter, pulse/heart rate monitor, and calorie counter, you can easily save $400. The cheaper price increases the value of the Zaaz 15K over the 20K and if I personally must get a Zaaz unit, I’d actually go with the Zaaz 15K to save a couple hundred dollars as the electronic counters on most vibration machines use a mathematical calculation and isn’t all too accurate. The reduction in the number of speed settings actually makes the machine faster and easier to adjust to get to the higher frequencies, since the frequency between the two units are identical.
