Customer Reviews for VEVOR Plate Compactor, 2.8 HP 78.5CC Gas Engine 5,250 VPM, 870 kg Force Vibratory Compaction Tamper with 18.7 x 11.8 inch Plate for Walkways, Patios, Asphalts, Paver Landscaping

Fantastic product for the job I am doing. I already used it on a couple of other jobs as well, and I'm really pleased with the comnpaction.

This little machine is worth it, at least for us. As a non-profit trail builder we seek durable, consistent, and affordable tools. When it comes to shaping berms and rollers and remote trail fills we need a lighter weight solution for compacting soils. This machine out the box was great. Just needed crankcase oil (not supplied) and fuel. Minimal assembly. It took about 10 mins and it was ready to roll. On initial start up I was concerned that the vibration motor was defective or just could not produce the correct frequency. It dies take a few seconds (15-30) for it to warm up to produce the correct frequency of vibrations. On-trail work has been great. It’s light enough to carry and move with a wheelbarrow. Fuel use is fine, tank is pretty small but still runs for a decent amount of time. It also moves faster than our larger (230lb) plate compactor. This machine is not efficient for large areas, but that’s why we got it. Controls are typical on a gas motor and starts easily. We have about 8 hrs on the machine with zero complaints.

Works great easy to move!

I've been wanting a plate compactor for a few years now. All the name brand one's are crazy expensive. I was very hesitant at first when i saw the price on the Vevor brand. My first thought was this must be junk, but if lasts one or two jobs, it basically pays for itself just in rental fees. It arrived 4 days after i ordered it. It came 95 percent together. All i had to do was bolt the folding handles and the throttle lever on. Filled it with oil and gas and it started on the first pull. I can honestly say that this thing works just as well as the name brand one's and has just as many features. Very well made. I actually started buying other Vevor brand tools now. The quality is very good. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I used it to compact a new gravel driveway, it worked perfectly

We used this to compact a 30x40 garage floor and a 12x20 retaining wall. Worked great and was just the right size for the narrow space behind the retaining wall.

Great little machine. Easy to use and effective. Starts right up and tamps away. My son borrowed it to work on his HS baseball field and it worked very well.

Bought this instead of renting one as I needed it throughout a side job. Compacted a whole building pad in lifts with this including a small turn down and strip footer. Starts on second pull.

Did what I needed it to do at a giant fraction of the price for a different brand. I have recommended it to others who have purchased, and love it too.

It’s small so I was not expecting miracles and you should not expect them either. . Had some 3/4 stone that I wanted to pack down. You can see where you have been in each pass it it packs it down. Easy to assemble starts and runs well. Got the job done.
