Main positive points:* Quality product, well made, will last a long time* No need to buy gel or replace the pads, so low ongoing usage cost, apart from changing the 3 x AAA batteries once in a while. Just need to apply water on the belt and body. Many other products on Amazon would have much higher running cost (changing electrodes each month for instance)* Nice selection of programmes, and intensity range. The programmes (A to E) determine the types and frequency of pulsations and duration (e.g 20 minutes), while a separate button sets the intensity (from 0 to 40). Programmes include warming up and cooling down periods. Duration cannot be set on its own but is linked to the programme selected* Intensity up to the level set by the user builds up progressively,

The belt itself is great and easy to use with several programmes and intensities to chose from. I've been using it every day for a week and I can feel the difference. Everyday my abs feel like they have a moderate ab workout resulting in a nice, slight ache but nothing too painful. This isn't a product to make you lose weight it's designed to compliment a healthy lifestyle which includes exercise. It will strengthen your core but if you need to lose weight then it will be up to you to do cardio.The delivery was shocking. I used amazon prime so that I would get it the next day to start using with my workout routine but it didn't turn up, or the day after.

I bought this on the recommendation of my physiotherapist - I've shredded parts of my spine and after a lifetime of sports, was going mad at not being able to abdominal crunches etc.You're not going to develop a six pack using it, but it has stopped the muscles I have atrophying - and also them some definition again. After two weeks of use on the basic setting, I was standing front of the mirror thinking "not bad..." That said I have a BMI of 21 and so one can see the muscles underneath anyway. It's not a cure for everything, and I can't imagine it "building muscle" but it does *something* positive.

I wasn't too sure what to expect with this belt and wondered whether it's the same technology as that used to administer shocks to the Big Brother housemates... It's a really sturdy and well made item which looks like it cost more than it did. I've had it for eight months now, it's working consistently well and I've changed the batteries once.I have a 34" waist and the belt fits well and with plenty of room to spare. There is also an extension so this may give you some idea about whether the size is right for you.Getting a good contact is easy even if something of a shock when the cold water reaches your skin - however it fits snugly against the skin and ensures the muscle stimulation takes

I've been using the 2-electrode belt with success, so decided to 'upgrade' to this 4-electrode version.It's not bad, and maybe will become more flexible with use, but I get the feeling that it's been made primarily for use by the male of the species!Do any other women find that there's quite a gap at the top of the belt when in use?I need to cross over the straps at the back so that they form an 'X' behind my waist, pulling down both ends very tightly - otherwise there's a real problem with skin contact.This was not a problem that I had with my first belt, as the elastic strap made it easy to get a snug fit.I'm a size 10, and use this belt to help me stay in shape.

Well, all I can say is I feel much better about myself, so on that basis I guess it does! I understood it wasnt going to turn me in to Charles Atlas but after losing quite a lot of weight I wanted to firm up my tum, I bought this about 4 weeks ago and followed the instructions, starting on program A I'm now passed program D, it does take half an hour on C and D programs so I leave it in my bedroom at night and put it on right after my shower in the morning with a tee-shirt while I make my breakfast, I then put my shirt on for work after the program finishes. I guess if you have loads of time this wouldnt matter so much, the evenings are much easier, I just set it off and let it do its stuff while watching TV,

Having used both the Beurer belt and previously a belt from the main competitor's (not sure if I am allowed to mention names), I can say without a doubt that the Beurer is by far better !The Beurer actually really works my abs, it is amazingly simple to use, you get your waist and the belt wet, put the belt on and off you go.I just feel sorry for the time I spent with the previous belt, applying sticky gel, replacing pads and batteries, and adjusting the belt to actually feel as if it was doing something... The previous belt was going through batteries at an alarming rate, and never really felt as if it was causing my muscles to contract. Never saw any improvement with my abs.I already had trained abs when I started,

I used Slendertone in the past but the sticky pads are messy, don't last long and cost a lot to replace. Also the electronic controller gave up so I kept having to swap the working controller between my shorts and ab belt... all hassle meaning I stopped using it. This belt is so much better, you just need water, or actually a wet cloth! It's got several programmes so you can just do 20min or 30mins or a combo back-to-back. I sit on a ball all day so my core strength is pretty strong, I do a good amount of cardio and I often do stomach crunches/ pilates etc but still my tummy remains - but it tones up quickly when using one of these belts for an hour a day,

I purchased the belt about a month ago. I have been using it every day for about 1 hour a day and I have to say: I am starting to see the results already!!I am very active, I exercise 6 days a week and just wanted this as a supplement to help me achieve a six pack.Bear in mind that this belt does not work on its own. You need to use it a part of a healthy diet and some exercise.I am giving it 4* instead of 5 because I find it a bit too big for me. My waist is around 68 cms and I struggle a bit to keep it thight. But this is just me.Also, I find a bit annoying the sound when you modify the instensity. I would like it to have an option to take the sound off.

I'd used the Slendertone belt for a number of years. That (like this product) was very effective when used to supplement (not replace) exercise -- I could see very real results (stronger, more defined abs) after a few weeks of daily use. The problem with the Slendertone, as the last reviwer notes, is battery usage and the pads. For me, the pads would lose their stickiness after a few uses, even when I replaced their plastic covers immediately after use. This was a problem because unless the pads made a good seal with your body, the Slendertone would detect an "error," start beeping and stop sending electricity to the pad in question. Perhaps a safety feature. Anyway,

I've not had one of these belts before as they seem expensive and fiddly, with gels & pads etc. I could imagine getting one, using it a couple of times and getting fed up. However, this one looked good value and looked easy to use, not requiring gels & pads.The unit itself is nicely made with a detachable control unit offering a range of programs and intensities. I've been using it for about a week now and can feel the difference. Beware though, this only works on your abs, not your love handles, and if your six pack is covered by a tub of lard you won't be able to see the results, although you'll still benefit.The only small quibble is that the integral belt will fit up to about a 34 inch waist,

I love the idea that you don't need to buy gels and just need to put water on the device and your stomach. It also feels nice and feels quite robust. The idea that the central device can be removed at ease is very satisfying too.The central device has limited buttons which makes it great for non tech savoy people. Simply turn on/off, pause, programs change and intensity change and if it breaks contact with your skin or is removed it immediately stops.However, the intensity only goes to around 40. This is the major drawback of this product. It still should be enough for the average person but if your anything like me you will want to try and increase that power to see you progress but as 40 is

I have just recieved the toning belt and was very pleased with the packaging, instructions and overall look of the product to start. I found it very easy to use and understand and as my bf uses it and is slightly bigger it has an extention to the back so don't worry if you are larger as the model accomodates this all. It's cheaper than alot of other produccts on the market and does'nt need all the replacement parts just a tiny bit of water to moisturise the pads. It's comfy and I wear it watching t.v . As for the results I will wait to see as I have just recieved it but what I can say is you can feel your muscles contracting and that will definetly pay off . I can't wait for a month or so down the line to see how I look.

Have experienced the sharp electric shock as reported by a few other reviewers, so have been cautious in my use of the belt. Noticed that the only times I got the full-on shock, I was wearing either metal belt-buckle or shorts with metal studs - without metal present, I have had no issues whatsoever.While the multi-lingual user manual is rather vague on operational use, it is pretty easy to use - wet the pads and stomach, belt-up, select your level of intensity and it stops automatically at end of programme.I've only been using it for about 3 weeks now, working slowly up through the levels (started at about level 7 - noticeable, but not-unpleasant tingle) to just over level 20 now (often fierce clenches,

I purchased this for my Father who sadly has epidurals every 3 months to replace missing bone in his spine. Having spoken to him recently he is delighted with it. I purchased this along with a TENS Machine so he may use this after the epidural and then use the TENS Machine when the pain set in, as it often does. To my disbelief he is after only a few weeks now managing a 5 mile walk a day using this twice daily to strengthen his stomach muscles allowing him to cope better with the discomfort. All I can say is that if it works for a man in that condition then it is money worth spending for anyone who wants to feel better, look better or just generally keep themselves fit.
