Summary |
The Max Turbo Slimming Belt is a toning apparatus that is said to eliminate body fat and flatten stomach muscles by the means of heat and vibration or massage technology, so as to make it unnecessary for users to perform exercises or focus on their workout form. It is not so clear exactly how these methods actually reduce the fat, and we know of no clinical trials that support the notion at this time. In addition, the Max Turbo Slimming Belt is not FDA cleared, though it is not required to be. The Max Turbo Slimming Belt is battery powered and seems to be inconspicuous enough to go unnoticed under normal clothing, making it possible to use the device just about any time of day. Lastly, the Max Turbo Slimming Belt is said to be versatile enough to be used on areas of the body other than just the waist.

The Max Turbo Slimming Belt appears to be manufactured by an Asian firm known as Rakutan. However, we could not locate an English language official website for the Max Turbo Slimming Belt. Thus, Western customers who wish to purchase this device will need to find it on the websites of online retailers. These retailers will vary in terms of their satisfaction guarantee policies and other such matters, and it seems that few offer toll free order or customer service phone numbers. It is not clear whether Rakutan supports the Max Turbo Slimming Belt with any kind of warranty program.

Because Western customers will need to turn to various retailers in order to purchase the Max Turbo Slimming Belt, prices, shipping costs, shipping restrictions, and delivery times will vary from one vendor to another. We were actually unable to locate a vendor who sells the Max Turbo Slimming Belt at the time of this review’s writing, but we did learn that some vendors sold the apparatus for about $90 at one time.

The Max Turbo Slimming Belt is a device that has some individuals excited because of its multifaceted approach to toning by the means of massage, heat, and vibration. Still, there is no clear explanation of exactly how these technologies promote slimming. In the end, customers will need to decide whether they want to purchase this device or a device that has more research supporting it and a well known and easy to access manufacturer.
