Works but not designed for ease of use
The first thing that sets this apart from other similar devices is that it comes with a “cover”.  It says it is for sweat and stuff.  OK – I guess.  It is sort of a pain to put on and looks weird as it attaches to the front of the device with velcro but wraps the entire inside. I prefer t sue it without the cover as any type of movement at all – even maybe breathing – you can hear the velcro on the cover make noise.  It is so weird. No cover – it is silent. I guess it would have been better if it were black but the directions say it was designed to transmit the light through. I just skip it.<br /><br />The power bank plug comes disassembled which is a little odd.  At first I thought it was one f those plugs that rotated in the socket so that is why.  But nope – it doesn’t rotate.  I think the only reason it comes in two pieces is so it fits in the box – and that is weird.  It does fit – but weird.  There is no direction about putting it together – but it is not rocket science. But no mention in the directions.<br /><br />The belt itself seems to work fine in regards to red light therapy – it is just not the easiest to operate and use for a few reasons.  First, the power button is in the middle of the buttons – and I am dumbfounded at that.  All the buttons are close together and look the same.  And actually, they are not buttons at all.  It is hard to see what you are pressing and hard to see what setting it is on.  All of the lights for the buttons are also colored the same – except for the time which is blue.  You can barely read the words on the “buttons” as the print is teeny.  Lastly – unless you are going to use this thing like on your abdomen or your upper front, though – the button placement is not great.  Maybe if you are a teeny tiny petite person and you wrap it around your waist – the buttons may fall at the front if you are treating your back.  For me – they are at my side when treating my back. It is weird that they are at my side and I can not see what the heck I am doing. You can’t really feel your way either.  I, instead turn the thing on on my abdomen and then have to swing it around to my back.  Plus, since the buttons are not really buttons and are easy to change inadvertently – you can mistakenly turn it off or change the setting easily while using.<br /><br />This thing would have been MUCH better with a remote attached to the cord like most others – or even an actual remote.  It does come with a detachable battery pouch and a USB cord so I guess you could hook it up to a battery pack and use it that way which is good.  I just plug it in for the wall as I am not going to walk around with it personally and I use it when I’m relaxing - like sitting on the couch.  It fits me just fine and will fit bigger people – although it is not that big.<br /><br />So, it’s fine – it is just odd to use.  I have used others that were much easier to use.<br />If you found my review helpful, why not click the “helpful” button. Thanks! Enjoy your day! : )
