Slendertone Connect Abs , Black

Product Information

There is also an upgrade to the pre-set programmes of which there are 10 in total and all offer a really good range of intensity and workout types.

I’m still amazed by the number of positive comments this belt has received. Over 1000, and counting, and a 5 star rating is almost unheard of for any type of fitness equipment… and there are plenty of people sceptical when it comes to EMS belts. Slendertone is a company with which most people are probably familiar, with many folk able to recall those 1990s infomercials on “toning your abs” without actually having to put in any effort. Those adverts that always featured lean and buff models having the time of their lives. Abs8 by Slendertone is their newest toning belt and builds on the success of the Abs7 which we have also included in our top 5 list. The Abs8 is designed to be used for 20-30 minutes per day for 5 days per week and promises results in just 4 weeks.

Brands vs Generic – Are Slendertone Worth the Extra Money?

Like the EM37, the Ab Flex belt is pretty large and it also has one of the largest controllers of all the models we tested. It has a large screen with easy to use controls to choose from one of the 10 programmes. There are 0-100 levels of intensity so you can increase it as and when you feel you can take the added stimulus to your muscles. I have started with the Slendertone belts for a very good reason – this is the original and dominant brand in the toning belt world. In most other areas there are 3 or more competitors, here Slendertone are the only ‘household name’, with rivals producing one or two products. Slendertone did not become the number one by accident, their equipment is very highly rated and their innovation / ideas are excellent too. You’ll pay a little more (though not massively so) for one of their belts. The balance here is that you get the best quality, service from a long-running company and compatibility with newer controllers and tech as things advance. The process of setting the belt is pretty intuitive and straightforward. However, many users have complained about poor connections between their phones and belts. However, that isn’t a primary concern as long as you can get a hold of their customer service to sort this issue out. Moreover, you do not have to replace the pads at all. The belt only requires you to apply a long-lasting and cheap gel frequently on the pads to maintain the performance of this fitness tool.

If you want your belt’s pads to have a long life, follow the tips below and save yourself from unnecessary expenses: An ab toning belt is quite similar to a nerve stimulation machine or TENS unit. However, a toning belt stimulates your muscles while a TENS targets your nerves. Can an Ab Toning Belt Reduce Belly Fat?The Slendertone Connect Abs is a great option and is pretty much the top of the range ab toner – if you don’t need the app connectivity then opt for the Abs8, but if you need that extra push and think a bit of healthy competition will keep you motivated then this is for you. The first warning sign we see with a number of these products is that there’s no mention of FDA clearance on their listings. And when you consider the FDA regulates the sale of these in the US, you’d think they would mention it in the product descriptions. WeightWorld advise you to use the stimulator for 3 x 15-20 minutes sessions per day. You can use it sitting, standing or lying down and I am actually using it right now as I write this section of the review. The Beurer EM37 ab belt is the cheapest ab belt we tested and as such we did hold out too much hope for its effectiveness. We have chosen our top 7 ab belts following testing with 5 different people in our office over a 4 week period (Edit: We have then continued to test and added new editions where appropriate). When comparing belts we were essentially looking for comfort, fat loss, muscle definition, visual aesthetic and value for money.

Moreover, the Beurer EM32 features an adjustable design that can suit all people with waist sizes between 26 inches and 55 inches. The high-quality toning belts often have comfortable and durable pads. And this factor is significant if you want to enjoy your belt for a long time. Controllers Before you can start the toning process, you need to pair your device to it via bluetooth. If you’ve got an Android or iOS device you’ll find their app on the correct store.

Beyond Slendertone – Ab Belts from Other Suppliers

In the case of Slendertone Connect, there are many complaints about the functionality and connectivity of the app. Do you know that you can wear an ab toning belt under your clothes while you are out for work? Some belts are so breathable and lightweight that no one would ever figure out their presence. You can control ten belly-busting program settings with the intensity level of your choice using an easy-to-use controller. The best thing about a controller is that it is simple to learn and operate. In their regulation, the FDA evaluates safety standards in the wiring and electricity use of the device, as well as manufacturing, design, and correct labeling. The Android app sometimes has compatibility issues, and customer support is not always very responsive to this specific complaint.

The Ab Flex belt might not look quite as attractive as the latest Slendertone variants and the controller is pretty large, but the results of this ab toner speak for themselves and the technology behind it is remarkably similar to its more premium priced cousins. The main difference between this model and the Slendertone models is that this requires a very small application of a gel before use whereas the others use pads.Considering the low price point of the ab stimulator and how effective it works, it is hard not to recommend this device. It’s highly convenient, very discreet and gives good results – oh and it’s one of the cheapest options on this list.
