Hello, I can't be sure that it was ineffective, however, the hologram wore off after about 3 months of normal use. I bought one for myself and my daughter and both wore off after the same amount of time. I feel that if you spend $30.00 a pop on these things they should wear better.

So the hologram wore off on my first bracelet which they replaced, although didn't answer my questions as to why it had and if maybe there had been a faulty batch. Replacement band has now done the same thing !

Hi Kim - agreed. however, since the company has admitted in an Australian legal settlement that the product was falsely advertised and has no scientific basis for its claims (see http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/964074 ), we are interested in US buyers (especially California residents) who feel the product was not as advertised.

I found that statement to be interesting. I would be more than happy to let you know what happens after 90 days.I have about 50 days on the unit with no malfunctions as of yet.I use it for an outdoor sign and so far has been operating correctly.I figured it was worth th money just to find out what happens to Chinese products after 90 days.Lloyd

No, I think you need to get a replacement. Mine stays for 3 months at least meaning more than 10 hours.

I have had this for a month or so and have a feeling it falls back on prior measurements (readings from a few seconds ago) - for example if you step on it again right after your first measurement, it seems to gravitate towards, and lock in to, the same exact reading it gave you a few seconds earlier.

I've only had mine for a few weeks. So far, it is keeping a charge. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but with as little thought as they put into the design I don't have much faith that they put their efforts into technology.

I was in the same question. It works to me and is a little bit brighter than before. Jinho

It seems to pickup where it left off when I plug it back in after being off for a day or so. I don't know if this will be true over a long period of time if it is unplugged from power or if you remove the usb stick or SD card while it is off.

I bought one two years ago this month. Contacted BalanceFrom two weeks ago and they had me do some diagnostics, then said they would send a new one. Waiting for it to arrive.

I only ever use it on max power. Even around mouth and eyes. It doesn't bother me at all. I didn't even really have to work up to it either, except I felt it out because others warned it was uncomfortable. I use it 30+ minutes/day, too.I DEFINITELY notice the effects, and I love it!Not sure if it's because of my using it for so long at so high, but it stopped working after a few months. I called the customer support number on the website and they are sending me a new one. I MISS it! I feel like I look so old.

I have had many power failures but I never had to re-program this unit. I am not sure how it does but does remember settings. Please note the Power failures we have seen here only lasted a few hours maximum. I have to reset all radio-clocks that is how I notice power failures...

I can only tell this. On a group ride last week and fully charged the device stayed on for about 5 hours. When I downloaded the ride it showed 78% remaining. I do have it set to measure speed using the GPS, as when using wheel magnet it would quit suddenly. I just removed the magnet and that issue went away.

I think it has to do with how you charge it. I thought mine wasn't holding a charge after a few months, but what I found is that if you charge the Power Grip and Vita separately, then it holds its full charge. I don't recall if the manual says to do that, but that's what works for me. I get a full week out of mine on one charge, no problem (one hour train commute to and from work and some time before bed here and there).

Hey MCY. Responding to your qustion about your machine not indicating to change cube after daily use after 17 months sound normal, in my opinion NO. Obviously I like the Vitalizer Plus machines because I only recently purchased a second one and could possibly experience the same problem with it, however, my first such machine was on its' third cube when it went junk, never missing a beat with the CC apearing across the screen when time to change the cube. Should it be me I would follow the suggestion given in the post below and change the cube.

I charged mine before I put it away last july now in feb I pulled it out and it still had 76% on display.
