Thanks to this mat my sweet 15 year old girl found some comfort instead of lying on heat registers in her last month of life. I'm not sure how warm it got but she seemed to like it as she was almost always on it. I flattened it first by plugging it in with a large rectangular plastic box sitting on top for an hour. I should have washed the cover before she started using it since it smelled funny. I did after a couple of weeks and it came out fine by air drying it.
Lightly used as we have another mini from Cuisinart that is still working but has minor cracks in plastic around the blade. This was suppose to be the replacement for the Cuisinart which is still going strong after a couple years. Also can't use this KitchenAid for liquids whereas we can with the Cuisinart since the seal is not as good. Like the colour but do not recommend this one.
The motions are too quick to follow along even at the beginner level. The belt slides around and the wii remote tucked into the holder on the belt is not easy to remove when you need to use it which is frequent. It seems that at the beginner level all you need to do is keep moving regardless of whether you are following the same movements. One good thing about this is that you still get your heart rate going but you don't really learn the moves that well...you could just as well dance to any latin music cd for that matter to get the same effect.
