  eBay Guides - Soloflex
Just bought a soloflex and am very very happy with the results I am getting.
The biggest complaint I am reading from the consumer about the soloflex is compounded around the bench press exercise and "HOW TO GET INTO POSITION UNDER BARBELL ARM" to perform this very important and common exercise.
Most people, especially ones over 40 have a tough time twisting into position under the arm and your instructions on your web site and manual about twisting and scooting is not much of a comfort or help.

Attorney General Hardy Myers filed an agreement Tuesday with Soloflex, Inc. that he said should end its use of misleading and deceptive advertising in a campaign to sell the Soloflex whole body vibration platform (vibration platform) to the frail elderly, sufferers of chronic pain and the neuro-muscularly disabled.
In reviewing the Soloflex advertisements, staff found that claims about a report of an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) clinical study were deceptive, including the assertion that a report was made in the first place.
Under the agreement, Soloflex will pay DOJ $100,000 for its Consumer Protection and Education Fund, $25,000 of which will be suspended so long as the company fully complies with the agreement.

In another set of deceptive advertisements, DOJ found that Soloflex made it appear that the vibration platforms were endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General for the frail elderly and neuro-muscularly disabled when, in fact, the Surgeon General cautions that whole body vibration therapy should not be substituted for traditional rehabilitation programs.
In looking at the company's business practices, DOJ found that Soloflex offered health care professionals a 25 percent discount on the vibration platforms but then encouraged the professionals not to pass the savings onto their patients but to pocket the difference as an incentive for prescribing the device.
Soloflex also agreed to hire Compliance Counsel to monitor its compliance with the court-filed settlement and all federal and state law, and to ensure the company substantiates all promotional claims with competent and reliable evidence.

I have not used the Soloflex, but I would HIGHLY recommend the Bowflex.
There are a lot of people out there that spend the money and lose the desire to work out without really using the machine, that way you can buy it for a lot less than from the manufacturer.
PS - I have heard the the bands used on the Soloflex will lose their resistance with use - also Bowflex sometimes offers a $19.99/month financing program if that interests you - it generally is $49.99/month so watch the specials if you are interested.
