Slendertone- Batteries? I was thinking about purchasing a Slendertone system for him, but am concerned about how many batteries it will eat?

Hi, My dad is in his late 70's and has really bad lungs that prevents him from being active. His belly was bothering him(42" pant size) so he ordered one of these. He did nothing else but wear this slendertone faithfully for 3 months(5 days a week) and went down three pants sizes. He now proudly wears a size 36 pants. Also as a added bonus is down 10 pounds. My mom cooks all his food for him and she told me that she did not change his diet at all. He let me borrow this slendertone and I've used it a week so far and just now had to change the batteries. Dad told me that he never had to change them while he was using it. Hope this helps you. :)

Yes. 2 AAA batteries. Supplied. I installed new ones once in the last month . The batteries last a long time. I mix my shakeology every day for 3-5 minutes. It is also very quiet.

this product sucks. I'd plan on changing the batteries once an hour until the product just decides to stop working. I think you should spend your time/money on hiring someone to sing for you where ever your are than buying batteries for this sub par piece of s***. Good luck!

From your question I realize your concern. We all have it. After doing some research found that the seahorse with three batteries is the one causing problems. No, this one comes with two double A batteries.

Most likely the batteries contain something of that nature. But I wouldn't recommend eating any part of the toy either. &#128513;

We have used it and have LOVED it!!! the batteries do seem to die quickly, but we think it is due to the fact we live near an area where there are coyotes who howl at night (we live in Arizona). The howling coyotes prompted our dog to howl (with them) all hours of the night, which was one of the reasons we wanted to get the sonic birdhouse. However, every time it goes off, it is draining the battery :) It is very effective, but we have needed to replace the battery frequently. Fortunately, our dog hasn't quite figured out when the battery dies, so we can turn it to stand-by or off to save battery life until he tries to bark or howl again. :) HIGHLY recommend this product!!

Thank you all, I appreciate your feedback! I'll try with batteries first (when I receive it - ordered today), and maybe order this next! Thank you again.

I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in mine and swap out with a spare set every month or so to stay ahead of dead batts. It's nice that they run it on 2 AAs - I'm currently using a pair of 550s that use 4 AAA each.

Sorry, but it's been a while since we bought this item. We keep a supply of batteries on hand at all times, so that wasn't important for us. If you order the fan, it's not a bad idea to have a backup set anyway, so I would buy the batteries just in case.

I went to a local BatteriesPlus store. They were incredibly helpful, and I know customer service and future attention to my needs will be better than if I bought the batteries online. Remember, batteries have a limited life-span and will need to be replaced. Buy them somewhere you can trust for reliable and consistent attention in the future.

Did the description say it played a sound? I just saw it takes double A batteries. Had no idea it played a sound. Good to know. I'll look n see if I can find any literature.

it uses two AAA batteries. They do not last long. I believe 2 AA sizes instead would give better life, like another small Grundig I replaced with the GM400. Also, when changing the batteries, you lose the clock and must reset it each time. A nuisance my older one did not have.

What is stupid is all the arguing here. Having two batteries is a great idea compared to having only one. M. Kinnamon, if you need more than the 50 minutes charge time for cleaning that these two batteries give you, then buy an extra battery, or a corded vacuum. Pretty simple.

That is a great news. What battery do you use? Maybe the little guy doesn't like Duracell. Haha.

I don't think this is beyond a 3-year old's capacity. I agree that anything with batteries is not a good idea either. My girlfriend's 18 month old loves these blocks and plays with them a lot. This is definitely a toy that the kids will use for a long time. The only issue might be storage - they do take up space so if the boy lives in a small home the set might take up a lot of room. Another idea might be a Mega blocks wagon - around $30 - still a block set but the blocks store in the wagon. No batteries required there either.

I think I did a three hour gig on batteries with no problem. Since then I just run it on the transformers to be safe. But I suspect they will go for much longer on batteries than I tried.

I've been using 2 AAA Ni-MH rechargable batteries in it. Can play continuosly for about 48hrs before changing them out. Getting the batteries out of the controller is kind of tricky but can be done with no harm to the batteries or controller if you take out one with your finger nail and gently bang the other one out. Ni-MH AAA batteries with charger is fairly cheap.
