Yuppers! Even had my grandaughter take it outside to see how pretty it is. Like you, I've got everything crossed that it's got a good life span. If not I guess I'll just have to pony up for new batteries. I was just waiting for something like this that was elegant to look at as well as functional. I know that a great number of people love the provari but for me it won't be something I'll ever get as I just don't find it attractive in appearance.
Maybe...........if they made it in color?
LOL....some people have their ProVaris powder coated. I've seen pictures of some pretty "out there" ProVaris. I think the ProVari is about "fit and finish"...kind of like my Harley. I personally find them attractive....and love the feel in your hand. I pretty much use them at home tho....and will probably end up with an iTaste kit for "out and about".
