Does this burn through batteries fast? How often do you use it and how often have you had to change the batteries?

We only use this as our travel swing because it is lightweight and easy to assemble. The baby wasn't a fan at first but he likes it now that he's 3 months. We have only had to replace the batteries once but like I said this is not our main swing. Only down side to the swing is that it doesn't play music or sounds.

Hello, I'm sorry I can't answer your question. My baby is only 4 weeks old and I actually use this in my older sons room at night for when I'm reading to them or dressing them for school. So because it not In a main part of the house and he is not in it much I didn't put batteries in it. I can say most of the swing hi have experienced do run out fast but I don't use them all the time. It is pretty cozy tho. Sorry good luck

My granddaughter is only 3 months old so we don't have a long history with the swing. My daughter uses the one I bought for her house more then I would but neither of us uses it constantly. I don't know how often you would have to replace the batteries if it was your primary swing but neither of us has replaced the batteries yet. I am sorry that I could not give you a better idea of actual battery life. I do like the design of the swing a lot. I like that I can move the swing from room to room easily and keep the baby up on my kitchen island when I am working in the kitchen.

I've used it twice for about 15-20 minutes at a time and the batteries are still working. The first time I used it, I turned it off when collecting the balls. I just let it run the whole time the 2nd time.

I couldn't say exactly, but definitely a long time! I don't change my battery often. I have 3 batteries: 2 Wasabi and 1 Lumix, and I haven't noticed a difference between them. They're always full-power according to the camera indicator when I switch to a new one. I'd say on average I change my battery every couple weeks, but the one I randomly replace it with may have been sitting a month at least.

Not sure. I used it for a week, a few hours almost every night. I have yet to change the batteries since I got it.

I have had mine close to 8-10 years, and have changed the batteries 3 times at most. I only do small areas though like the upper lip. Are you doing multiple areas at once or larger areas like your legs? I haven't had the same problem with mine. Can you exchange yours? :/

Requires 4AA Batteries at once and burns through them pretty quickly. 1 yr later and I still love the image on this thing!! Well worth the price of both unit and batteries.

Bought mine last fall & batteries are still going strong. Don't use it every day but it is over 6 months. Bought it for my mom & we both love it!

The batteries do drain quickly. I never tried switching them off completely. However I did use them every Saturday and Sunday in the summer and changed them maybe in August or September

Yes, it happens to me... The batteries drain so fast, however, I remember the first batteries keept showing low charge for a long time but it worked. I have used it to teach 1-week trainings and only one week is enough to drain most of the battery charge.I tried swaping the batteries, apparently it helps to make longer the batteries life...

It runs off of batteries. The batteries last a really long time. We havent changed the batteries on over a month!

We have not had to change the batteries and my husband uses it quite a lot. It must be working since we have had it for over a year.

That would be my one complaint. It does go through batteries quickly. We used it for every nap & bedtime & had to replace the batteries in a couple weeks. We now use rechargeable batteries, so I don't really mind. Still worth it to me.

Yes, it does use batteries quickly. It is preferred to use rechargeable nickel-cadmium or even better, lithium ion. Depending upon your usage, you can get a few hours usage on a fresh set of batteries.

It just goes through them quickly and they are the button cell batteries so they are more expensive. Great scale though. We used it daily for each meal and snacks. So maybe that is why we went through it quickly. However we got a new scale that takes double AA batteries and we use it just as much. However, we have not had to change them yet. By now we would have had to replace this scale twice. I really like this scale because it has the "mg" setting, but I just was sick of buying batteries.

Just a guess but have you tried replacing the batteries? I've noticed it eats batteries quickly

We change batteries probably once a month. Thats the only disappointing thing. Although they are supposed to be good for 3200 times, the motion sensors check you when you walk through the kitchen. I wish they would only come on when you were working at the countertop.
