A definite improvement over previous model
I reviewed the previous Slendertone belt and indicated there that I was going to try this one out. I am glad I did. The programming and intensity range of controls is vastly improved and the recharge-ability of the device is a true plus. I have been using the unit for approximately three weeks and it has definitely helped me to restart an exercise program after several months off due to illness. Because the controls are much less bulky the unit is easier to wear under clothing and much easier to exercise with while wearing. I am not quite sure why one of the reviewers is so negative on this device. Right now I am using it an intensity of "40" and i clearly get quite an involuntary muscular workout from it. My wife has commented that she can see the involuntary reactions while the muscle stimulation is working. Granted I lost a lot of wight while ill and at 6'3" and 162 pounds the belt doesn't have to reach "far" in order to stimulate my abs.
I would knock off a half star because of the proprietary connector between the recharger plug and the controller. I recently went on a trip and I left the wall plug at my hotel. Fortunately the battery lasted for several days after recharging and so I had no problem waiting for the hotel to ship the plug back to me. But if I had lost it for sure I would have been SOL. I contacted Slendertone customer support and a week later they still have not responded to my request for a replacement plug.More detail ...
