 Abdominal Toning BeltSep 19, 2008
A product is only as good as it's instruction booklet. Works fine, but not as stated in ads or on box. It is supposed to automatically jump from program to program increasing the power as it goes. It dosen't. The power must be reset each time it's turned on. The book dosen't say how to get it to do that.

 Excellent Muscle RelaxerAug 05, 2008
After using this device for over a month, I find it to be an excellent device to relax abdominal muscles after a workout session. As for losing weight or gaining muscles, I cannot speak to that, only offer some of my observations.
This device does an excellent job in relaxing muscles. It contracts and relaxes a group of muscles repeatedly over a predefined period of time. I have a workout routine which involves a lot of bicycle crunches and planks. After each workout, my ab muscles would be very tight and uncomfortable. Before getting the Slendertone Flex Pro, I used to lean back and side ways to stretch those muscles. However, I have lower back problems, and stretching as described usually puts too much pressure on my lower back. In fact, once in a while, I would actually pull my back muscles by doing that.
With this device, I simply strap it on for 30 minutes, and my ab muscles would be fully stretched without risking hurting my back. In the medical field, patients with muscle problems are sometimes treated with electronic muscle stimulation machines. This concept has been in use for decades, and could be very effective. I purchased this device specifically for this purpose, that's why I am giving it five stars.
I cannot speak to the effectiveness of this machine on losing weight and gaining muscles, but here are my observations. I have a very well defined 6-pack as well as surrounding muscle groups, and exercise regularly. After using the Slendertone Flex Pro, I don't think it would be able to help me build muscles. The reason is simple: even on the highest program level (7) and the highest intensity level (99), the contraction achieved by my ab muscles is only about 50% of what I would get if I were doing bicycle crunches. While that is perfect for relaxing tense muscle groups, I don't think it will do much good for gaining muscles; but I could be wrong since I have only used it for a month.
As for losing weight, I doubt this machine can help you achieve that. While I am not a doctor nor personal trainer, I understand the basics of the human body. In order to lose weight, the body must burn more energy than the amount supplied, i.e. through eating or drinking. Even on the highest setting (program 7, level 99), I could easily fall asleep with it on. The device does not stress my muscles at all - this is exactly why I find it perfect for relaxing muscles. Just like stretching probably won't make you lose weight, this device probably won't either. For more in depth analysis on point, google "EMS weight loss."
Some reviewers disliked the gel pads and the battery life. I always take a shower right before I put the device on, peel off the covers carefully, lay them face up, and put them back on the pads immediately after use. After 30 sessions (one per day), the pads are still in very good shape and are not in need of replacing any time soon. As for the batteries, I turn the device off as soon as I finish a session. So far, the device is still showing full battery power.
The only thing I think could be improved is the Velcro. I have a 29" waist. The two halves of the strap almost miss each other completely when tightened. I had to sew on my own Velcro to keep the device secure.
Overall, I think this device is excellent for relaxing muscles, but probably should not be marketed as a "toning" system.
Does what it says!Jul 05, 2008
This is a good replacement for crunches. I've been using it for a month, everyday, with good results and no pad problem.

 Another GimmickMay 11, 2008
How many times is this product going to be marketed as a toning machine. I actually bought a similar product and it contracted my abs and it felt like it was doing something. The next day after I used the machine it felt like I had done 1000 crunches and my abs were so sore. After a week of use the soreness went away but my abs didn't show any toning. I kept it up because the machine cost more than a hundred dollars and I wanted to believe I didn't get ripped off; $100 is a lot of money for something that doesn't work. Unfortunately the promises of a six pack never emerged. This machine is great for physical conditioning of muscles but it doesn't develop them. Your going to need to lose weight in order to see the six packs and this machine can't bring out the muscle through the fat. People don't waste your money; I've already done that for you. Exercise instead and eat better, cut back on carbohydrates especially. There is no easy way to lose weight and trim the waist.

 Don't expect to lose weightApr 24, 2008
This product is good for what it's designed for. That is to say that it is not some sort of weight loss miracle, but is a good unit for putting your core muscles through some daily exercise.
The only downside is the pads tend to burn out pretty quick. Even the batteries last longer, but that aside a very good unit overall.
