Does the VEVOR Vertical Leg Press include weight plates?

No. It is plate-loaded, so you supply standard Olympic or bumper plates yourself. Budget for plates if you do not already own them.

How much weight can it hold?

VEVOR rates it for home use rather than commercial loads. Treat the stated capacity as a ceiling and stay well under it, especially with dropped reps.

What is the difference between vertical and angled leg presses?

A vertical press drives the sled straight up, which feels different from the 45-degree sled most gyms use. It is more compact but gives less back support than an angled machine.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes, the fixed path makes leg pressing simple to learn. Start light, keep your lower back flat on the pad and use a controlled range of motion.

Can it replace squats?

No. It trains quads and glutes without loading the spine, but it does not work balance or core the way squats do. Use it as an accessory, not a replacement.
