We have the new vest and we are now on our fourth one. The first one would

show a need service warning on it so we sent that one back the second one the

digital screen went blank so we sent that one back then our third one was really

loud compared to the first two. We just got our fourth vest on Friday and so

far so good but it did show the service message again but I unplugged it a

couple of times and finally it started working again. I'm hoping we don't have

any problems with this one! The best thing about it is that it is small and has

a nice carrying case. The one thing I don't like about it is when you get done

with one setting the thing turns off and the settings go back to the

beginning sometimes if I am really busy I forget what setting they are on

(getting old

is awful!) when the kids are a sleep they can't tell me either or sometimes

they well just tell me it was there last so they can be done the little

stinkers!! So there are good and bad they told me they were coming out with a

newer

vest in Oct ones that want be having as much problems as these one is. They

said we can get that one if we are still having problems. I think we will after

all of the problems we have had I don't trust it as well. I am so glad we still

have the old stand by!! Hope this helps. Deb A

we received the " new " vest in May and it is very nice. It only

weighs 17 lbs I think comes with it's own nifty duffle bag with

zipper pockets on the side and two inner pockets to put the cords.

The " bug " they mentioned is no big deal if you stop the vest before

it's scheduled 10 minutes or whatever time limit it may tell you that

something is wrong but all you have to do is unplug it and plug back

in and it is fine. It is all digital and very easy to use, on the

older model you have to hold down the black " button " for it to work

this one you don't even need the button you just press start and it

goes, you can adjust the time limit because once your 10 min is up it

just stops but our daughter is almost 3 so it is just easier for us

to set the clock for 20 and change the pressure after 10 is up. We

really like the new size and the awesome bag that is a big help.

Yep know problem! I am just glad we have the old one just in case the new one

fails us. I don't want you to not try it because I really do like it but it

is different and I am a creature of old habit (another sign of old age). I also

think it will be great once they do work the bugs out. Deb A

We just got our new small model or the " sport " model as I like to call it.

We have the original and it works great, just like driving a tank with no

power steering, the new one is quiet, small enough to be carry on, on a

plane, and it doesn't require the child to keep the button depressed to keep

it on. I haven't noticed any problems with the timer/counter, but we use it

so much I don't care. I just love it, would love it if our old version

would die so we could have two small ones.....

Just my two cents...

Thank you!!

When I talked to the lady at the vest, and she started explaining

what I was suppose to do, so on and so forth, I am thinking Oh my

God, do I really want to do this? Your post helped me clear out my

doubts. Now we can take it with us on the plane, when we travel!

Thank you soooo much!

Deb,

She said something about a false warning, that was one of the things

that she rattle back at me, while I was trying to figure out wheather

this was a good thing, and something about waiting a little longer

between cycles, alzheimers is not setting in yet, after all. We have

to send back our old one, so you can imagine how I feel.

Yes, of course you helped, I need to hold on a little longer to the

old one, until I feel pretty good about the new one.

Thank you Deb!
