Vibroproovi magnetmõõturid ei ole eriti sobivad magnetiseerimisahela mõõtmiseks proovi demagnetiseeriva mõju tõttu ja nad sõltuvad temperatuurist ning neid ei saa kasutada ka habrastel proovidel, mis ei talu vibratsiooni.
Vibrating-sample magnetometers further allow for a sample to be tested at varying angles with respect to its magnetization letting researchers minimize the effects of external influences, however, vibrating-sample magnetometers are not well suited for determining the magnetization loop due to the demagnetizing effects incurred by the sample, and vibrating-sample magnetometers further suffer from temperature dependence and cannot be used on fragile samples that cannot undergo acceleration (from the vibration).
