There is no research to support that calorie number. Vibration machines are really kind of the wild west (american cowboy reference) in fitness and health right now. They actually have a number of specific, research-supported benefits, but the manufacturers are going "outside the lines" to make all kinds of unsupported, seemingly outlandish claims about their benefits. Like any good marketing effort, they do a good job of making all of these claims sound plausible.
Vibration machines are not a complete joke, and those that treat them as such put their own credibility at risk. However, the claims for them that have the most interest for the general public--i.e. easy weight loss and high calorie burn with minimal effort--are also the ones with the least amount of research support.
I would not claim any substantial calorie burn for a "vibration machine" workout, regardless of what the machine reads.

Mmmm looking at this, would that me that somewhere, there's a parallel universe filled to the brim with fat?
Kinda like, if it all went to a parallel Earth, then the weather forecasts would end up along the lines of:
"Now, for today's weather forecast. Partly overcast with a chance of lipid rain in the early afternoon. Be careful on those roads out there today, due to last nights torrential downpour, the roads are still extremely greasy. The road services will need several hours to neutralize the lipid rain's effects."0 -
I've been using a "vibration machine" for a couple years and I don't think it's helped with weight loss at all.4

I sit on my washing machine during the spin cycle to give me a Brazilian butt lift. Still waiting.3

Did absolutely nothing.
So funny and sad at the same time!! It is said because all of the money spent on useless products!

i just finished reading a will self novel called how the dead live, which is too strange to describe in detail. it mostly happens after the heroine's death, and it's about this afterlife where she 'lives' in a suburb with various things from her own actual life. such as dead children and a miscarried foetus and three separate semi-sentient . . . things which are actually all her own 'lost' body fat.0 -

For science, of course0 -
You burn calories period, even in your sleep.
You burn off extra with movement which could be going for a run or even cleaning and rearranging your house so the effect the vibration has on your muscles opposed to just sitting on the couch would burn a few extra calories 🤣
There are articles that support full body vibration, one being from mayo clinic. Should it replace actual exercise?
No, but it does help with balance, circulation and bone density.
