This thing is GREAT and it certainly eases your mind about buying batteries every few weeks/months!! It's unfortunate (and smacks of sheer laziness) that someone gave it only two stars because of a silly thing like a removable skin. Seriously. I have a skin for my board (a nice blue one :)) and, granted, while it doesn't fit into the charger "as is," all you have to do is unhook one side of the skin (the side by the left foot, since the charger's oriented that way) and drape it over the charging stand as it slides in. DONE. When you're ready to use it, just slide it out, re-hook the skin (which takes less than 5 seconds. I counted) and you're good to go. It's not rocket science. Really. That's why it's such a good product.

This docking station works great. Mine works with the silicone skin. I highly recommend this product.

If you use the board alot this is the product for you! excellent value on this product and well worth the purchase price! say goodbye to buying batteries for good.I highly recommend this product!

I just got the Wii Fit last week as a gift, and knowing that I would use it a lot I went ahead and purchased this recharging stand for it so I wouldn't go through so many batteries. It works great! Okay so just like some of the other reviewers said it doesn't work with the skin on but also as mentioned it is a quick unhook and rehook. Charging didn't take long at all, and it really holds the charge well. I am glad I purchased this item.

Wii Fit Plus specifically instructs you not to store the balance board vertically. It should always be stored flat on a level surface. Storing vertically can damage or shorten the life of the load cells in the board. I used to store my balance board standing up until the Wii fit game warned me not to upon starting up the game one time. I don't own this product, but I do know that the board should not be stored standing on end like this. I'm not making any comment on the quality of this product.

This is an amazing product. I am so glad that I found this product when I got the Wii Fit with the Balance Board. These two items should be sold as a package deal or something. Our Balance Board has always has more of a charge than we had energy, because we've never (not even once) had to stop due to low charge. This charging stand belongs right beside the Wii, in my opinion. It's easy to use ... just plug it in, then make sure to put the battery portion of the Balance Board down on the charger. To get the board off the charger, just step on the charging stand, and the board is release. Couldn't be easier. Worth every penny.
Thanks, Jen.

After having this product for awhile, I really like the way it performs. It charges the stand in a few hours and so far after using it a couple of times I have not had to recharge it. Now I don't have to put regular batteries in it.

The charger stand works fine, but it's not the only easy way to use rechargeable batteries in the Wii Fit. Had I known, I would have bought the plain vanilla USB recharger pack (also available on Amazon, for under $10) and saved space and future e-waste.

I've looked at and tried several recharging options for the Wii Fit Balance board. This is THE best of the lot. I can't find any cons to this thing. It is awesome!

I love this stand. Problem now though is that once the batteries no longer hold a charge, you can't replace them. Madcatz no longer sells this product and the battery pack can't be bought. Now my stand is pretty much useless. I've used my stand for a year and a half.
