Title: Only works with expensive lithium batteries?
Product review: I just received this as a gift and right out of the box, the unit didn't work with brand new Duracell or Rayovac [regular] batteries. I then tried my Energizer Lithium batteries and voila - the motor kicked on and worked. I'm not going to use this thing if the motor only works with expensive batteries. I've already contacted the manufacturer. I think I got a dud. I'm willing to update my review upon receipt of a new unit.UPDATE 3/9/2012Received a response from Valerie over at the company and this was her response:"Most will work with regular batteries, (not rechargeable). Any electronic device will last longer with lithium batteries, and we do recommend that you use lithium.We suggest using LITHIUM ENERGIZER AA Batteries. It does make a difference. Thank you."Well then... that's great. The lithium batteries I used lasted a month with the switch in the OFF position? No way I'm spending that much on expensive batteries a month.
