Best At Home Tms Device (2024 Update)

Only had it for about 2 weeks but so far it works great. I work mainly standing and walking for 8-10 hours a day so I use it for my calves and thighs when they feel tight. It relaxes my muscles and feel good the next daym.airgo.birqk1l

I love the Bluetooth capabilities and the lack of wires. Unit is easy to operate and performs as expected. Definitely recommend for anyone that is looking for some pain relief.iceberg-too

Super easy product to install. Excellent choice to satisfy the most basic home security needs even with the un-monitored option. Only reason this did not get 5 stars is due to the delay in alerting. All other aspects are good. When you trip any of the devices – Ring Doorbell, motion sensor, door trip, etc., it takes at least 10-15 seconds before the alert hits the app and let's you know. In the event of a break in, that's potentially a lifetime. Not sure if it has to do with the cloud component, but highly suspect it is. If that's the case, Ring should offer a small local storage option that then moves the data to the cloud so they can continue to make their money by forcing you to sign up for their cloud service option. When it comes to home security, I want to know the instant movement is picked-up so I have time to react to the situation. This much of a delay doesn't meet that mark. I could use cans and a string and get better results. So if you're looking for real time, move on. If near real time works for you and a delay is acceptable, this is a great option. I also had to purchase Alexa as the Ring system doesn't support Google Nest.Jill S

Ring’s reputation in video doorbells is incomparable, but I did not realize the company produced alarm systems as well! After using this 2nd Generation Ring Alarm (5 piece kit), I understand how Ring rightly earned its prestige as the premier manufacturer of home security systems! The installation of this system was surprisingly quick and simple— merely download app, plug, stick, and turn on! I was pleasantly surprised that there was no charge for using the Ring app! However, I definitely recommend purchasing the Ring Protect Plus Plan if it is not cost prohibitive (It does include a complimentary month to try out for yourself as well.) As for the device, I thought the keypad was intuitive with its picture icons and its simplicity in contacting either fire department, police, or medical help with just the push of the corresponding button. The design of all the components is modern, sleek, and unobtrusive. The alarm siren is rightfully loud and blaring. I love the seamless integration with Alexa Echo enabled products as our home is already using them— this is definitely one of my favorite features! Lastly, I appreciate that different generations of Ring systems and products are all compatible—a major convenience if I choose to add more products in the future. Overall, I highly recommend this product! It gives me peace of mind during these uncertain times for my family and my home, especially when I’m away.Ticowjw8

I got this system 2 years ago at Costco and I love it. It’s affordable and works great in apartments, duplexes, and houses as I have lived in each category with this alarm system. The alarm itself when triggered is very loud and I found out by mistake when I lived in apartments. You can monitor the system yourself or pay a monthly fee of around $10 I believe for professional monitoring. In the phone app you can check the systems and each sensor in your house to see if they are open or closed and you can manually set the system to armed or disarmed when you aren’t even near your home (I armed the system from over 400 miles away a few times while visiting family). I also love that anytime the windows or doors are opened the system sends an alert to my phone about which sensor has been tripped. Great product and I highly recommend it.madison .c

I have really enjoyed using this TENS unit. I've had several over the last 15 years due to having scoliosis and other spinal issues, so I'm familiar with how these work. This one is different from others I've used because it has a lot more settings. I like that it comes with a user guide so I could learn what everything does. Even if you don't read the user guide, it's all pretty self-explanatory. One of the nice things about this unit is that it has an LCD display showing how much time is left on the cycle. My previous TENS units had a dial knob for turning off and on and sometimes I'd forget to turn it off and the batteries were always dead. I'm so happy to have something that has a built-in method for making the batteries last as long as possible for actual use. A feature I've enjoyed a lot is the REPEAT button. When I've found the mix of speed and type that I like, I can use it again the next time I turn the unit on by hitting the REPEAT button, which reverts to the last settings used. I really love this. Another neat thing about this unit is that is has multiple pre-programmed modes while also offering the option to use your own settings. I tried them all out and they really are all different. Some other pluses for this unit are how sticky the pads are and how long the cord is. I can use one set on my feet and the other set on my shoulders with plenty of extra cord so that I don't have to lay in an awkward position. And the unit is a good size to have a good hold on while changing the settings. Overall, I really like this. It works well and has been very helpful in relieving the pain I have in my back and feet. I like it a lot better than the previous TENS Units I've owned because it has a lot more options to find the mode that works best for me and it's a lot easier to customize the manual settings.Erin

Very cool device! It definitely feels strange as the (pain-free) electrical pulses may cause involuntary tightening and movement of muscles. I have occasional lower back pain and after the treatments, it feels almost like the area had just been massaged, and it really seems to help with tight muscles. The included reusable pads are very sticky and seem like they will remain usable for a long while (assuming they are not exposed to any contaminants). The pads are not so sticky to cause skin irritation as far as I have noticed. I have only had the device for a week so far, but it appears to be working exactly as it should and comes with batteries and a small instruction book, very self-explanatory, that included recommendations for pad placement. The only fault, it would be better with rechargeable batteries.alison

Have used maybe 20 times since purchased in February. Now only one of the two pads activates. I place two pads. One works and the other is dead. Have changed pads and connection wires. Nothing changes. Like the unit but won't buy another if it's going to break so soon.Anna

This is great! Who knew such a small device could do so much. I have lower back issues caused by a work related injury. In the past, I would use mats, heating pads, inversion tables, or traditional massages to ease pain. So after getting these electrodes I was a bit skeptical if they would help much or if any at all. Being wireless, or un-tethered from any other device other than the pair of electrodes didn’t help my thinking either. I can’t really see a big difference between the various modes such as TENS. I mean, they aren’t the same pulsation but I don’t see a difference on my body, they all still work the same regardless of the science that may have gone into configuring them. According to the documentation, TENS is intended for pain, EMS is intended for recovery such as after workouts, and Massage… well its just an imitation of your standard hand massage. The single point I would like to mention as a negative. According to the TENS pads documentation. These are supposed to last for as much as 30 uses. However, I don’t really see it happening. By this point I’ve gone through about 15 sessions with about 4 of those having removed/reapplied the pads. The very first session, after peeling them, I could feel they had lost a significant amount of sticky residue. I’ve seen adhesive devices from the medical cabinet that seem to have better adhesion for long periods. I don’t presume to know if there’s a safe, yet better alternative, but I’m almost certain this isn’t the best material. The other minor annoyance with the electrodes is the charging port on them. The cover protecting the port leaves no space and is continuously pressed on by the charger. This will eventually wear out the adhesion on the rubber cover and leave the port exposed to dirt and other particles. Overall this is an great product, but could be amazing with minor changes.TuT_Bryan

This is my first TENS unit, so it has been a learning experience for me. This AccuRelief package includes the main control unit (known as the Remote), 2 accompanying AAA batteries for the Remote, the Electrode, a micro-USB cable, and four 2×2 inch electrode Pads. The Remote has an LCD display, up/down intensity buttons, a Program button, and an On/Off/Mode button. You can use the Remote to control all necessary functions or you can install the AccuRelief App on your cellphone and use it to control all functions. I use the App exclusively and have never needed the Remote. The electrode needs some explaining. The Electrode (and related pads) consist of two semi-flat square electrodes connected by a cable. The main Electrode has an on/off button on its top while the other has the micro-usb port for charging the Electrode. These two connected electrodes (and pads) are what is placed on your body for the TENS, Muscle Stimulation (EMS), and Massaging. The main Electrode’s power button will change color depending on the following: • If the electrode flashing light is green: the device has not connected with the phone app or the Remote • If continuous green: The device is in standby mode • If continuous orange: The device is in treatment mode • If flashing orange: The device is in pause mode • When the Electrode is being charged: o If continuous orange: The battery is charging o If continuous green: The battery is fully charged Upon receipt, I first installed the AccuRelief 3-in-1 App from Google’s Play Store. After the App was installed, I opened the App and turned on the power to the electrode. Within 2-3 seconds, the app recognized the Electrode, and the phone and Electrode were paired . It was that simple. Well, almost. The App’s installation process asks for permissions (like location, photo, and more) to which I originally said No. The App didn’t work well after that, so I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with full permissions. It worked fine after that. I hadn’t charged the Electrode before starting to use them, something that is recommended on page 18 of the User Manual. As a result, I stopped testing the system to charge the Electrode. It generally takes 2 hours to fully charge it – which is supposed to provide 4 hours of continuous use. Regarding the Pads I mentioned above, each one (they’re used in pairs) can be used 30 times. When using the pads, place them at least 2 inches apart and no further than 6 inches apart. If a pad is damaged or dirty, or if they have lost their adhesive power, or if you experience unpleasant stinging or a biting sensation, replace them with new pads. The User Manual, as well as the cellphone App, have diagrams on where to properly place the electrodes/pads on your body. This includes your neck/cervical, shoulder, carpal tunnel/hand, lower back, elbow, knee/joint, calf, ankle/foot, and upper arm. You should clean the skin area you plan on treating with soap and water, and dry completely. I used an alcohol swab. The User Manual says to not treat any area of skin for more than 30 minutes per session, and no more than 3 treatments total per day. This unit includes TENS for blocking pain, Muscle Stimulation for muscle recovery, and Massaging for relaxation with up to 60 levels of adjustable intensity. I was still comfortable at an intensity of 25. I haven’t tried it any higher as yet. This AccuRelief system couldn’t be easier to use. To use it, I placed the electrodes/pads in the recommended locations, turned on the electrodes, and started the app on my phone. I selected the desired function (TENS, Muscle Stimulation, or Massaging), and then adjusted the intensity. You can also pause or stop a session, if so desired. A timer exists at the bottom of the App screen that shows how much time you have left in the current session. So far I’m quite impressed with how it has worked and expect good results going forward. It is easy to set up, so far has worked great, and is intuitive to use. For me, a 5-star rating is appropriate.ZUnderwood

Never used it yet but looks like a nice machine. The only thing I was disappointed in was the probes were different shown in the picture than what I actually received. I thought it was the button type pads. Different pads sent then what was pictured as well.kim

I purchased this product for our second baby. The only reason I give four stars is because this was supposed to be for our upcoming second child, but instead I have to use it to replace the Hatch Plus that no longer is functioning for my 2 year old son. I would give 5 stars, but now am nervous that this one will also only last 2 years. The Hatch Plus has helped our first born be an excellent sleeper since he was 2 months old. He sleeps 12 hours a night and takes great naps! The white noise disguises other commotion in the house so that you don't have to be perfectly quiet while your little one sleeps. It has helped my productivity so much. You can also set programs to rise and shine by changing the light and sounds at a certain wake time. My son loves the ritual of turning it on at night and turning it off in the morning. If the power goes out, it continues to work for approximately two hours!Emilie J.

This is the third Rest that we’ve owned. We used the first for 3 years but it was the older model and the charge port was different and ended up breaking. Our second works perfectly. This one unfortunately is not working correctly. Sometimes it makes it through the night without malfunctioning but more often than not, the sound stutters, shuts off, or fluctuates. This morning I could hear it turn off and then turn back on with a blast before settling to the right volume. There have been a handful of times where after it had been unplugged and then plugged back in, the sound just would not turn on at all. The light would, but no sound would come on at all. This is super frustrating and disappointing considering how much it costs and how much my child usually loves their sound machine.Kelly

We own three Hatch devices and have since spread the good word to our friends and family. We utilize our Hatches to help our children sleep, and now us, so he grown ups. This device has been an integral tool for promoting good deep sleep. The sleek design, ease of use, color, and sound options make it a must have product! The ONLY thing I wish that it had, was a backup power source. When the power goes out (which seems to happen frequently in our area) we usually have to hustle around the house to find our portable sound machines. It’s stressful and disruptive when this happens at night or nap time. Maybe someday Hatch will develop A device with the option to run off of battery, in order to enhance its capabilities even further. Love this product and I highly recommend it!ellen s.

I bought two of these for Thanksgiving turkey and a ham that I was smoking up. Setup and pairing with my iPhone was easy. App seemed pretty cool and helpful. Despite following the instructions to the T, they kept losing the connection to my smartphone after 10-15 minutes. I had the base sitting about 2-3 feet the smoker with line of site through glass doors to my iPhone. I had to pull the thermometer out of my animals, seat it back in the base, re-pair it with my phone again, and then reinsert it in the animals. They would lose the connection again after 10-15 minutes again. I finally replaced them with my good old fashion thermometer connected with a wire to the display beside the smoker and my dinner turned out awesome. Going to give them one more try this weekend with a couple of briskets that I am smoking for about 18 hours. Will update if I have better luck.Rick

I was really looking forward to trying out this digital thermometer to see if the convenience of being able to walk away from the item being cooked was worth the investment and effort. The product arrived in a very nice case which serves as the Bluetooth cradle for charging and connecting. There are very few instructions in the box as it is managed completely through the app. Note that the website clearly states that it is only intended for use with certain cuts of meat. Initial impressions are that the product is made of high-quality materials and the thermometer itself should last a long time. The app setup was easy and intuitive and the connection only took two tries, not bad for any IoT device. The device claims connection up to 150 feet away but that it not going to be the case anywhere near walls, so maybe grilling in a park you might be able to connect at that distance. I tried it indoors and found it to connect as far away as the next room. In addition to the device connection, the app features a lot of recipes, a space for your shopping list, the ability to scan food items using your camera (not sure why), and is actually a "freemium" strategy to get you to sign up for their "Pro" subscription which features an expanded recipe book and diet support. . The first item I tried to cook was a hamburger in a skillet. I opened the app, followed the instructions for pairing, "Set Up Cook," "Beef" and Other (hamburger is not on the list for a good reason, as I will explain). The instructions tell you to "Fully insert the thermometer…into the thickest part…all the way to the black cap.". Also note the dock must remain 5 feet away from the thermometer, meaning near the grill if you are grilling. Next you select the level of doneness and begin cooking, with the option to have it tell you when to turn the meat. You can change your mind regarding the level of doneness as you are cooking. I also tried cooking a steak on the grill and a roast in the oven. CONCLUSION: this thermometer is definitely made for cooking large, thick cuts of meat such as a whole turkey, chicken, or roast. I do not recommend it for cooking hamburgers or steaks unless they are over 2 inches thick. The reason for this is that the product only functions as designed when inserted all the way through. As the meat cooks and shrinks, the thermometer would start to slip out or through the thinner cuts, requiring me to remove it. There I encountered another problem – the extractor that is supplied is designed to fit into the bottom of the charging dock but not really designed to work as a lever to extract anything. If the thermometer slips as you extract it, it can possibly fall through the grates on a grill. The temptation is to grab it by hand but it gets very hot. I would prefer to see an extractor with a scissor action to provide a surer grip. Overall, it is not a very practical device for everyday cooking. – a regular steel-cased thermometer will do as well for telling to when your meat is done, albeit without doing it at a distance. The primary benefit of the convenience of being able to walk a short distance away from the cooking surface and be notified when the meal is done may be worth it to some, but the trouble of going through the motions of charging, pairing every time. carefully cleaning, etc. for only a few select cuts of meat that I may cook once a month may make this an excellent choice for a caterer or restaurateur, but for the homeowner is little more than a hook into a recipe subscription service, the exception being for the homeowners who have the connected appliances which will also be able to communicate with the thermometer in the future.techsta

I am giving 2 stars rather than 1 because each time I have used it with much finagling I was able to at least kind of use it. The dock constantly drops connection with the thermometer even when well within the recommended 5 ft range. The bluetooth range on the dock itself is really poor basically negating the point of having a wireless thermometer. That said the companion app is actually pretty cool, when the thermometer works. Comes with access to cooking instructions as well as preset internal temp goals for different done amounts when cooking for people who don't already know what their goal should be. You can even set it to tell you when to flip your cook, as long as you stay super close to the dock for your phone to connect to it and it is not having problems connecting to the thermometer.Hazard

I have a terrific 12 year old TV that has an extremely good picture except the so called Smart tv capabilities no longer work. Netflix is an out dated version and cannot up updated and other more recent apps are simply not available (Plex, Spotify). I have been using a Chromecast but I find having to drag out my phone or a tablet and finding the show I want and then casting it less than satisfactory although the Chromecast is future proof because the apps run on my tablet or phone. I prefer the Roku because I find it easier selecting media from Netflix or Plex or other apps easier using the Roku remote and the TV. I also have a feeling that the picture quality is better but that might be just my imagination. The bonus is that I have discovered Roku's Live TV and can watch classical concerts on Vivaldi or old movies albeit with commercials. Sometimes you just feel like an old Clint Eastwood western and can put up with a few commercials (especially when you figure out how to bypass them). I still use the Chromecast for CBC Gem which is unavailable on Roku and for screen sharing for special situations but the Roku is my go to.manderpe

I love Roku! First, this is a HDMI device that plugs into your TV. It has an external power source, so you need to plug this into a receptacle. There is an initial setup to identify your TV and then for your email and a password to sign in. After that, you are offered streamers based on your interests, but you can always add services later. Also, you need decent internet connection speeds, or you may need to purchase a WIFI-EXTENDER to feed a better signal to your viewing area. After this process, turn on your Roku with one button and your TV should go right to the Roku menu. This will show your streaming services available (or you can search and add). I use Amazon and Netflix the most. Since these are paid services, you must start accounts with each and pay for each UNLESS you can find a bundle somewhere. I like the fact that you can search for older movies (I'm a 70s and 80s fan) and SERIES SHOWS. Just know that if you want to watch The Sopranos, they are on HBO, and you will need to purchase an account with them. Same with Disney. The point is: YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL ON ONE DEVICE. Seriously, these Roku devices are very useable, and they make great GIFTS. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.michael

My theragun is fairly new to me. I’ve only had it for about a month, but I can honestly say it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, but there’s a long background story as to why. I’ll try to explain as short as possible! Around 12 years ago, I started having issues with my left hip. After years of going to Drs, MRI’s, X-rays and physical therapists, its been diagnosed as sciatica, and then hip arthritis. And even professional physical therapists didn’t help. I’m 44, and was begging for a hip replacement because the pain was so unbearable, and I assumed since nothing was helping, that was the only way out of a life of daily pain. A few times I actually contemplated suicide, because there were times when I would get zero sleep for days because I couldn’t lay down, I couldn’t sit down, and I couldn’t stand because the pain was so severe. I know this type of review isn’t going to be everyone’s experience, but this percussion gun saved my sanity. I noticed that at night when I lay on my good hip, I would always try to dig my knuckles into a part of my bad hip to relieve some of the pain. I finally figured it was worth it to spend what I considered a big chunk of change to see if theragun might be able to get to that elusive spot that my knuckles just couldn’t reach. The day it came in, I immediately tried it and I almost cried. I was finally pain free AND was able to stand straight up! I believe that all my pain issues and lack of rotation in my hip over the years had caused me to have the tightest (or perhaps “locked”… but I’m no doctor) muscles ever, causing me to have an unnatural pelvic tilt that made me walk with a limp and somewhat hunched over. It caused me such daily pain that no medication, over the counter or prescribed, could even help a little with. After that first day, I used it again before going to bed and for the first time in over a decade was able to sleep on my bad hip side without any pain. Now, weeks later, I do still have pain in my hip (which I’m not shocked about because there still is an arthritis issue) BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE BEARABLE!!! I started out using it every day for about a week, but now I only use it maybe twice a week. I’m so thankful I bought this device.Samantha W.

for me and my husband, My daughter and grandson have had the theraguns for years and have been a firm advocate for them. I hesitated for the longest time. But trying to recover from knee surgery i was having a lot of trouble with soreness in my leg muscles. Add to that my husband's back problems were increasing. After reading many of the reviews, both negative and positive, I felt I had nothing to lose and I finally bought a theragun. For us, it has been a great success. My leg muscle issues have gone away. It loosens up my husband lower back muscles enough so that he can start his day without all of the pain he had before. I love the new handle, it gives you a lot of independence in treating yourself. When you have no access to a masseuse every day, this is just as good and if not better! Now I want to upgrade my grandsons and daughters to the new handle.Stella S.

This is a really great mssage gun with lots of power. It comes with four different tips that easily lock secury and remove easily. It is chargeable and portable so I take it with me everywhere. The charge holds suprisingly longer than I ever expected. This is a quality message gun that so far has worked excellently for me. I highly recommend it. There is one con at first use that I experienced, it may realease some blue grease from the tip area, so I recommend to run the messager in the up position for a while at the very first use as it breaks in. After this it should be fine with no more issues. Since its a very powerful tool I didnt deduct a star because it only happened initially and some tools usually require some prep.Rickydoo

I’m not one to do much for fine cleaning, typical body wash and shampoo and I’m done. But, I was offered to give this a try for review and I can say my face feels smoother after a week's use, maybe some slight wrinkle reduction, but I don’t think it has to do with the device on its own. The retail package only comes with a single use of the Foreo micro-foam cleanser, but for review purposes they sent a larger bottle. That in combination with the timed application made the difference since I started from nothing. The device is simply a BlueTooth connected vibrating “sponge”. You have to have a mobile device to set up the timing and intensity as there is only a single button for power and pairing. With the app installed you are asked some questions and from your answers it sets an intensity and time for each quadrant. Then from that point on, you don’t have to use the app again unless you want to adjust the settings. A single tap of the button and it starts the routine, unless you are still connected to it by BlueTooth on the app, then you have to use the app to start. It will do a slight pause after each quadrant interval to signal you to move and at the end it vibrates 2 more times and shuts off. Rinse it off and leave for the next session. Considering I don’t normally use a different cleanser for my face, this has helped create a routine that has truly softened my skin and made it feel less oily. But, I feel I could have done the same with a regular, less costly, device and a timer with this micro-foam cleanser. However, the pulsating of the silicone bristles does make it easy and relaxing. The battery claims to have an extremely long usage time as you are only using it for about 60 seconds a day if using only the button. With 650 uses per charge, that is practically two times a day for nearly a year without charge. I also found it odd that it is labeled “for men”, while it is black and bigger than those labeled for women, it came with a pink storage bag, unlike their default picture of a silver bag. It also talks about use for beards, but I think it is more for those that are short haired and closer to the skin. Overall, if you want an easier way to clean the broad areas of your face than scrubbing, this could be what you are looking for. Personally, it feels like some other beauty products in price and claims when you can get similar results without all the ™. I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend, but not a bad product if this is the type of thing you want to use.DavidJr

Packaged in a hard plastic case the device came really protected, to get started you need to scan the QR code stuck on the bottom of the device, download the app and register your personal details and device details to get started. The device came charged which is great this meant I could use it straight away. I ran my fingers on the silicon bristles and they felt so soft I think definitely the softest silicon bristles on a device I have felt. After reading the directions on the app and following them I wet my hands and applied cleanser on my face then pressed the on button and glided the device in soft circular motions over my face until it turned off (the built in timer is one minute). I then rinsed the cleanser off my skin, the device and washed it with soap and dried it with a micro fibre cloth. Unlike other devices I have used before the Luna 3 doesn’t have a option to turn the intensity up for down depending on your preference having said that the setting that it is on is comfortable for me as it is not too light or strong somewhere in between. The only downfall for me would be you need smart phone to be able to download the app to register product to be able to unlock and use it, although I have that I don’t think it’s necessary as I typically wouldn’t download a app and/or use it regularly for a skincare device. I also feel sorry for people without this technology as they won’t be able to use it. Unfortunately all the other options besides the cleansing option like the massage option have to be used while following along on app, if you used this in the shower you wouldn’t be able to spontaneously use that option. After using my skin feels really soft and clean, my favourite way to use this device is after wearing makeup and incorporating it in my double cleansing, I have found it throughly removes my makeup and nothing is left on my skin after cleansing with my device.sofia.r

Out of the box, this seems like a hip/modern product. Great packaging that sells you on this being a premium item, much better than just some plastic shell. This is marketed as being “for men”, but really can be used for anyone, nothing about this sticks out as being needed to be used by a single gender. The included goodies are also puzzling as it comes with a USB charging cord, a couple samples of face wash/serum, and a pink carrying case… just a puzzling color choice for a product made for men. I’ve had an electric face scrubber years ago so I was very interested to see how the technology has changed over the years by using this. I have to admit, I’m wildly unfamiliar with the FOREO brand but when my girlfriend saw this, she was beyond reasonably excited for me as apparently FOREO is a reputable brand. Here is where I dock a star from them. This is YET ANOTHER electronic item that uses an app for setup and usage. I swear my phone now about one hundred apps, about ten I commonly use and the rest are for nonsense like this where you’re required to have an app to use but then pretty much never use the app again, even though I’d use the scrubber more if there wasn’t an app attached. Here’s why… The app makes you login, share your details all that, and now I’m getting multiple emails a day from FOREO which is over the top for a premium item and how many emails do I need about a face scrubber. The app is largely used for setup, it allows you to program a mode where you elect how long you want to scrub each section of your face. It breaks the face down into top, bottom, left and right, and you select the duration you want each scrubbed and the intensity. This is fine in practice but without even using the scrubber yet I have no idea what I want the time or intensity set to so you’ll have a lot of trial and error up front in establishing the one mode you get to use. One your pre-set, customized mode is activated, it’s the only mode you can use until you go back to the app and change it. Having a couple pre-set options would’ve been helpful. The app also has preset “massages” on it where you can elect a massage that lasts a couple minutes and the device will walk you through which area to rub your face as it vibrates. This is fine in practice but seeing as the device is waterproof and I keep it in my shower, past the testing phase I’m never using this feature. There’s no desire to go fetch my phone while I’m showering to do a facial massage, nor while I’m not showering to go to the bathroom and fetch this for a 1-2 minute massage that doesn’t even feel great. Using the device as a facial scrubber is where it shines. The grip is easy to hold even while wet in the shower and I’ve always felt like I’m getting a better clean than using my fingers and less damaging than a washcloth. I have very sensitive skin and psoriasis but this hasn’t been an issue to use. If anything, maybe a placebo effect, maybe not, I’ve felt it makes my skin look better and younger. As a result of use, my skin just looks tighter, but science shows that it should as massages/vibrations draw blood to the area of impact and if you’re drawing more blood to your face/head it’ll naturally appear this way, it’s not ground breaking science. All in all, the effects of use are where this device shines but the puzzling carrying bag and mandatory app with spam emails are where they fall short. Consider this when buying.underdog217

I had the ecobee Smart Thermostat in a previous house that I really liked. I didn't need the external humidifier control in my new house, so I got all the features I loved with this Ecobee 3 Light. I use a 3rd party website (beestat.io) that has an even better interface if you really like to drill down into your thermostat data and see what's going on. Just last week I noticed that the AC seemed to be running constantly but the house temp wasn't going down. It turned out I had a failed condenser fan motor that's all better now. This bundle with the smart sensors is the best deal I found, and buying from BJ's was quick and easy with curbside pickup.Big G

Had BJs ship it to me. Came in 3 days. Installation was easy, replacing a Honeywell WIFI thermostat. Had a short call with ECOBEE support to clear up an issue with our heat pump system. Friendly and professional support! We selected the ECOBEE with sensors because we needed to better control the bedroom temperature. The ECOBEE smart sensor now takes over at night and maintains +/- 1 degree in the bedroom. Overall, the thermostat has worked flawlessly so far. Operation is easy, but the app could be a bit more intuitive. I would recommend this thermostat to anybody replacing a thermostat.tomk

Fire TV wasn’t anything to write home about previously (some apps not working properly, too many prominent ads, limited storage space) but wasn’t that far behind Roku as it had far superior speed when switching apps and navigating within apps. Now, with the latest update, the focus is ENTIRELY about Amazon’s bottom line (ads). Screen is so cluttered with ads that it’s a minor chore getting to the app you want. You have to tile through at least one of their ads to get your app. For those who haven’t used Roku, they have only one ad that is placed non-obtrusively to the right of the apps. And *still*, certain apps like CNN almost never work properly (always frozen), so what was the reason for the update besides more ads? And just noticed there is NO CBS, and when you search for CBS programs such as “CBS This Morning” you just get links that don’t even lead to that program but Amazon’s “Curated News”. You wonder how many other channels are gone now, too. Much slower now. Used to be pretty quick and smooth navigating but no more, can talk up to a minute sometimes. And a few times the TV has even failed to start up. One time I tried to start Netflix, nothing happened so I went to another app, and as that was slowly opening I heard the Netflix opening chime. None of this happened before the update. And to get to the cable box before you just had to tile left once, simple. Now you have to tile to the left twice and down? The inputs used to be easily accessible from the main menu but now you have to go to a special tab, and then it drops down to the inputs. WHY? Oh yeah… they need more space for all the new ADS. Reminds me of how Amazon customer service used to be super helpful and almost unctuous. And now they’re almost rude. One reason why I rarely buy from Amazon nowadays. I’m staying with Roku (whose only major flaw, speed, is now comparable to fire stick) from now on, or trying Apple TV. I might actually have to buy one of those sticks now, on the TV that has Fire TV already installed.Mike

What a frustrating device this is. If your interest in just streaming video services, it might suit your needs. In that respect, however, this Fire TV Stick is no better than the Roku stick I've had for years. The reason I bought this product is to be able to stream Amazon HD Music and at that task this product performs poorly. It does not help that Amazon provides basically no support outside of an online forum where their customer service reps have very little knowledge. Here are my major issues: 1. Out of the box, this product is not set to deliver the highest quality audio. Not only does the consumer need to go into settings for the Fire Stick to tell it to play the best quality audio, but then you need to go into the settings in the Amazon Music app itself to tell it to play the highest quality audio available. 2. Even after making those settings, at best I might get 3 or 4 songs in a row playing at cd-level quality or higher. The next track would drop down to a lossy (compressed) version. It isn't that the track wasn't available in a higher resolution; it's that either this product or the app would decide to downgrade the audio every 10-15 minutes, even though I was way more than enough bandwidth to stream HD video and audio. 3. It is *impossible* to listen to Atmos music on this product unless you believe that you are getting the Atmos experience out of headphones or a small, all-in-one speaker array. You cannot plug this into an AVR and listen to Atmos music via your home theater speakers; you can only get stereo if you listen that way. Even though this product is marketed as featuring Atmos capability, it really should say "for movies only." I am a PC/Android guy through and through. I've never owned an Apple product in my entire life. I finally bought an Apple TV device and guess what? Apple Music automatically plays Atmos in surround on my home theater without me needing to go into any settings. It just works. I'm still not a fan of Apple for a variety of reasons, but at least in this case they made a device that does what it should unlike this poor product. Granted, the Apple stick costs about four times as much but I would have been happy to have stayed with Amazon, its hardware and music app if they worked properly. Paying a discounted price for something that doesn't work properly isn't a bargain but rather a waste of money.Jeff

My husband and I absolutely love our new Amazon FireStick 4K. Our last FireStick went and we needed a new one so we decided to upgrade to the 4K version. It allows you to view more 4K content than the regular FireSticks and is a lot faster. We literally have FireSticks on all the TV's in our house! FireSticks have more storage space on them than any other kind of streaming device, so you can download and watch movies and shows on all your favorite apps like Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, etc. I also like that it has the built in Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant, so with the push of a button you can say "Alexa play this…" or "Alexa search for that…", and it will automatically do it for you. It also has Bluetooth so you can hook it up to all your devices such as speakers and headphones. We've been using FireSticks for YEARS now and this is by far my favorite one. It has buttons on the bottom of the remote for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Video so that you can get to them quickly as well. We were able to get it for $7 a month through Amazon, interest free for 5 months, which was awesome instead of having to pay for it all up front, because ours broke kind of unexpectedly and we didn't really have the extra money for that at the time, so it was a really nice option that they offered. I definitely recommend Amazon FireSticks and will absolutely continue using and purchasing them in the future!ashley.h

Love this unit that is mounted in my Old Town Sportsman Salty 120pdl Kayak. I bought a few extra things like the transducer mount for my specific Kayak. Now it just barely sits inside the transducer hole. A perfect fit. We used "Sticky Backs" or Tie-Wrap hold Downs for all the wiring & Yak Mount quick connect. It's small & out of the way but gives me all the information I need like, speed, water temp, depths, fish, etc. A great buy for a Kayak Person.MikeyFo

I was looking for a small, portable fish finder that I could use for both ice fishing in the winter and in my kayak in the summer. I was also looking for a reasonable price. I don’t fish enough to justify a top-of-the-line unit. The Striker 4 portable fit the bill perfectly. It comes complete with everything you need. I am impressed with the build quality and engineering. My vision is poor, so I was a little worried about a 4” screen. No problem, I can see it fine. I love the feature set- everything I need and more. Some reviewers didn’t like the fact that you can’t upload lake maps and there is no memory card slot. I fish on small local lakes and don’t need that. The CHIRP sonar is definitely worth getting. It gives you a good picture in all depths. Pros: • Great product for the price, full featured comes with everything you need to start fishing. • Quality build and design • Since Garmin’s core product is GPS units, they include it on everything. Unusual at this price point. Cons: A couple of little nits to pick, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. • The documentation is very poor. I am a total newbie to fish finders and really needed a more thorough manual. I suspect they assume a certain amount of background knowledge which I do not possess. I ended up watching a few Youtube videos made by other Striker 4 owners. • The float that holds the transducer for ice fishing could use some kind of adjuster. They tell you to tie the cable around it, but I would like something more precise, so I rigged up a stop made out of wood. • The battery and charger use blade connectors, which are not very robust. They are likely to break over time. I adapted a pair of alligator clips so I can easily connect the charger without disconnecting the battery. Overall I love the Striker 4 and would definitely recommend buying one.Neighbr

The Garmin Striker 4 offers wayfinding, operational information, and sophisticated fish finding at a very affordable price. This product is all the weekend boater and fair-weather fisherman really needs. Sure, high-level features, like maps, would be nice. But paying hundreds more for non-essential features won't prove to be a good choice for many who enjoy getting out on the water. The Garmin is a proven product, the software is glitch-free and intuitive to use. A super value.Inflatable Dinghy Sailor

My son gave me Vivosmart 4 as I developed a heart issue. I love the tracking. I don't like needing to recharge every four days. I don't like how it continually disconnect from phone and constantly alerts me to the fact. There is no reason for it. Probably drains the battery early. My son shutdown the pedometer reminder. When that was on battery lasted two days.
Those are unnecessary nusiances.
I love the sleep tracking and the body battery, what an innovation though I can't phantom they work…
Heart rate tracker very serious help.

The other frustration is Garmin not responding to my sons several inquires as to whether or not to return for repair or replacement.

Right now the hiccup is it doesn't track everything all the time. Somethings it sync's while it chooses to level others out with reason "not enough bla blah blah to assess bla blah blah….why not? The other "stuff" was sufficient.Cobweb Carol

I purchased the item on 1st June 2022 and realised it had issues tracking sleep (some nights recording it, some nights not at all). It would also only 'spot' track my heart rate (for say an hour or so during the day, then dropping out) and some days, it wouldn't track my heart rate at all! The strap of the Vivosmart is also not good for the skin – it 'burnt' and blistered my wrist under where the heart rate monitor is situated and caused a rash, then blistering, and bruising – like a chemical type burn – this is even with washing the strap daily with isopropyl. Contacted Garmin Support on 16th June 2022 and went back and forth, being asked the same questions over and over, being asked to do the same things over and over, with no attempt to resolve the issues at all. Finally gave up on 30 June 2022 and returned the product and purchased a Fitbit which has been far superior so far! All-in-all, not worth the money, there are much better options within the same price range out there.SCLN

Bought this with some hesitation, just wasn’t convinced would get the decibal boost needed. Currently living in a 2,000 sq ft metal barndominium while we construct our new home over the next year. In a rural location, we were getting around -95 dBm outside (2/3 bars on ATT). Inside the metal barn, -120 (1 bar at best, and frequent drops). Install: Decided to try and did self install. Took about 2 hours at a leisurely pace. Longest time honestly was wire routing from outside antenna and drilling into barn at amp location. Also shortened RG11 and re-terminated 1 end. As an aside, not really sure the extra shielding of RG11 is totally needed in most situations, but whatever. Have RG11 between outside antenna and amp – 50’ run, and RG6 between amp and indoor antenna at approx 6’. Performance: Been fantastic. We didn’t pick up 75dB (didn’t expect to given our weaker outside signal), but we are consistently at full bars and with 5g if not on Wi-Fi. In numbers, depending where in barn, in the high -70s to high -80s. So picked up about 50dB. All in all, did what it said it would do, and that’s give us solid reception for working from inside a metal structure, in a rural location, both of which are notoriously difficult for cell signals.David F.

Installed this on a farraday cage (my steel-sided & steel roof Barn/Apartment) in a very rural location. I was able to print a map of cell towers in my area (closest about 10 mi westerly in Ozark Mountains (hills)). Installed it on a PVC riser I added to a west-facing plumbing trap on the outside wall about 25' off the ground & pointed it directly in direction of tower. Drilled through steel exterior & long bit to reach interior & pulled coax through (sealed w/ clear caulk to keep bugs out). Ran the coax along and behind beams to conceal it. One drawback, I had to buy a black coax cable because the white that came would have stood out terribly bad in my situation. The converter runs very hot to the touch but has not created a fire on the wood beam it is attached to. Something not shared on-line is that the interior antenae is to be 30' away if horizontal or 20' lower than outside antenae otherwise. I did a triangular geometry calc to have it ~10' lower & 25' horiz from the exterior antenae & it works fantastic. It even goes through wood walls/floors (but only have one wall or floor between any location in my case–not multiple). This product has worked great. I can now bring reception inside & use my iPhone as a HotSpot to run Zoom Mtgs, etc. on my computer. I'm back in business after shielding myself with steel siding.Hillbilly

Before this booster I would only get 1 bar when I was lucky, and quite often 'no service'. And forget totally about voice calls. Now I get a solid 2 bars all the time, within about 6 – 8 feet from the inside antenna and 3 bars (!!) when Im within a foot or two, which is easy because it on my desk. My cell was supposed to have wifi dialing, but AT&T never came out with the software upgrade to make it so. They have a femtocell device to do that for my cell but I'd have to give up my 'pay as you go' plan to get it (no way!). This weBoost was the alternative, and it really works. Its only going to cover your office area at best, but that's all I personally need. Installation was moderate, I did it in an afternoon after first testing it outside but wow is the attic hot, and I had to just about do yoga to route the cable through all that insulation & not fall through the ceiling. Mounted the antenna on a concrete side wall with the supplied hardware without a hitch, but it is work. I then routed through a soffit & then through the attic (mine is just boards & insulation) & finally down the middle inside of a wall in my office all by following an existing coaxial TV/Internet cable. It solved my cell phone from home office issue, but at quite a price plus the gym exercise install. Im a little disappointed that it can't propagate the signal further for that money & effort. I'm sure I will ebay it & replace it with a camera when AT&T comes up with a phone for really picky people like myself.microfrogger

Meh, it's okay. I live in Chicago and have to park in a new spot every day. I was hoping the Tile would be a reliable way to monitor my cars location, but every time I access the Tile pro via the app it can't connect. Two stars are for how small/sleek the item is and the few times I *have* been able to locate my car using the app. The premium features, which include all the capabilities I was hoping to find in this device, are overpriced. Hopefully a better alternative comes out in the near future.TaylorA

I went to find my keys yesterday using the Tile Pro. They were one floor below in the basement in my tool bag. I started the Tile Find but couldn't hear the alarm sound from the Tile. I walked around the house to different locations to try and hear the sound because the Strong, Stronger notices were random and not really leading me in any particular direction. As I went into the basement, still not sure of the location of my keys, the Tile software turned the alarm off, and would not allow me to restart it. It just showed the map. I finally saw my tool bag snd realized my keys were in it. Still no alarm sound. I deactivated the app and restarted it, and hit search and the alarm finally sounded a second time. What good is an alarm you can't hear, and turns itself off after a few seconds of operation?Douglas

I have a Tile Pro attached to our 6 month old puppy's collar and I've trained him to come home (for lunchmeat) when I jingle the Tile. The range claims to be 400 feet, yet I am more often than not told that my dog is out of range when I can actually hear the bells I've put on his collar, so I know he is close. If there is anything in the way, like a building or a tree or a bush, this device will not find your dog. It will only connect with a clear line of sight. Even then, the range is not nearly what they claim and it takes forever for the tile to connect. I can see my dog across the yard, maybe 100 feet away, and when I click "find" it will take the tile at least two minutes to connect. Also, the left behind feature, which I believe is part of Tile Premium, is supposed to let you know when you left something behind, and I planned to use it to let me know if our dog got too far away from the property. The alarm doesn't chime until I am at least a mile and a half away from the house, so if it were on a briefcase or something for work I would be well down the road before I knew to turn around, and in the case of my dog that means he would be that far away before the alarm triggered, when it should trigger as soon as it goes out of range. This device is great for finding things in the house but it is too slow, too short ranged for finding, too long range for alerting left behind, and doesn't work with any sort of obstruction between your phone and the tile. It should NOT be advertised as a pet finder or tracker. Oh, I've contacted tech support twice and worked with settings and it did not make a difference.Leslie R.

So far so good after the thermostat was powered up properly, hopefully it will last a long time without trouble. Really need to read the instructions thoroughly on connecting the C wire from the furnace if not available in the original replaced thermostat. From what I understand the C wire is the common and works in conjunction with the red wire to provide 24 volts AC power to the thermostat. Initially had one problem at first with losing the WiFi connection and at first it seemed the thermostat would not work at all, but killed the power to the thermostat to reset it and it worked fine after that. Also later tested the thermostat by turning the WiFi router off for a few minutes then back on and the thermostat seem to work fine without the WiFi connection and then reconnected with router when powered back up. Seems some reviewers had an issue with losing their WiFi connection to the thermostat. The installation instructions should include how to do a hard reset if needed.KeithCh

The Thermostat is a bit bulky and will require modifications of the junction box ring/cover where your thermostat is installed. If the thermostat is just to be screwed onto the wall, you won't have that issue. When it comes to programing, the app needs more work to give you more flexibility. The thermostat won't display weather info. You only have (4) time settings on any given day so, if you are the kind of person that wakes up in the morning, takes off to work 2 hours later; come back home for an hour lunch, goes out again and come back late afternoon but goes to bed at 10pm needing the house cooler from 10pm to 7am you will at leat 5 setting a day and this one only have 4. There are only 3 fan settings, Auto, Circulating (of/off) and On but, you don't have the choice on programing those settings. In other words, regardless of your time programing, once you set the fan yo any of those 3 options, it will remain in it until you go back and manually change it. I think having the option of a fan setting within the programing will allow you to have the a/c fan running constantly while you are in bed. Users can set their thermostat to a higher temperarure and save energy at the same time they will enjoy a more constable night sleeo because, having the entire house air moving constantly will keep the temperature even and instead of the hot (microclimate) in the bedroom while having your hallways super cool at night and vice-versa during the day time, just because while we people sleep in oir rooms, there isn't a heat source in the area where the A/C thermostat is installed. Don't get me wrong I do like the circulating option during the day but at night, fan on is the way to go besides, why can't we program the fan setting too? The response time speed of the app is amazing. Thank you.User/Buyer

The thermostat and the app work seamlessly, especially compared to the Google Nest we had, which never synced or worked properly. I like the ease of use both manually and online. Design-wise, I have a couple of suggestions. The Honeywell screen must be touched to set it manually, this leaves smudges and fingerprints, which are quite visible when it is not lit up. The Google nest allowed you to set touching the plastic side, instead of the screen. Another feature missing, that I loved with the Nest, was a humidity reading. I have a very expensive guitar and need to keep it in a certain range. I was really sad when I realized my new Honeywell didn't have that. All in all, very pleased with the functionality though.Vikvik

It is not often I write a review, but after installing the APEC ROES-50 I bought, I had to write one. I know good equipment from junk; I am an RF engineer, aircraft pilot and aircraft A&P mechanic here in Tucson, so I know good equipment from junk. Unfortunately when buying mechanical things I am usually disappointed. Most things do not live up to their advertisement hype and are junk. That is not the case with the APEC RO system. I am not an RO water expert, but I spent over 10 hours researching RO water systems for my house before deciding on the ROES-50. I bought this for under the kitchen sink and to feed my refrigerator ice maker. The RO unit came with everything I would have needed for a normal house. All I had to buy extra was extra tubing to connect my icemaker. I ordered it from APEC online. I must say the RO filter installation book was the best set of instructions I think I have ever seen. A clear color picture of the lay out, different color tubing for everything so you cannot get mixed up (this was really nice), clear easy to follow step by step numbered instructions from start to finish. And a clear easy to find phone number you can call if you have a problem. Even the quality of the paper in the book was excellent. It was not really necessary, but I added a permeate pump to the unit to make up for my low water pressure. I could have got a RO unit with the pump installed from the factory, but I saved money by getting this one and adding the pump myself, and they are easy to add on later. After installing everything it all worked and worked well. The permeate pump REALLY works and speeds up water production a lot. With my low 45 PSI water pressure into the permeate pump, the faucet open and storage tank empty, my ROES-50 makes 32 oz of water every 7 minutes, that is 51 gallons a day. Now having the faucet open all day is not real life use, but you could make 51 gallons a day if you needed to. My old COSCO RO unit only made about 10 gallons a day and dumped waste water 24/7. This new APES unit shuts off when the pressure tells it the tank is full. You can test this by turning the tank off (to speed up the test) and watching the waste water shut off after 30 seconds. The RO tank has a shut off valve on it so this can be done easily. And THAT was a nice touch my old RO filter did not have a shut off on the tank. If you have the permeate pump on yours you can turn the tank valve off, put the waste tube into a bucket so you can watch it, open the faucet and watch the RO water come out and watch the waste water pulse on and off into the bucket as the pump does its pumping. Then you can turn the RO faucet off and watch the waste water stop in 30 seconds. It is easy to test this way and see the pump work, and see the shut off valve shut the water supply off and see the waste water stop coming out when it thinks it is full. For an old MO boy that had to see it to believe it, this convinced me it all was working great. I highly recommend AEPC if you want a RO water system for the house. And, I highly recommend getting a Permeate pump if you have less than 50 pounds of water pressure, or want to increase the efficiency of your system. David F Branson Tucson, AZmarybranson

I installed this system on an existing small bar type sink that has it's own cabinet underneath. Installation went well, for me that's saying a lot as I'm not the handiest around. I followed the instructions after reviewing them entirely so I didn't get half way and run into a problem. The biggest issue I had was me failing to tighten the metal compression fittings down tight enough from main water source to system. The instructions explain what sequence to start opening the supply valves, both on the main and then the system (blue valve on the tank). But really make sure your connections ARE TIGHT. Having smaller tools like two good wrenches will help especially in a tight area. They include enough teflon tape for the install, but you might want one extra roll on-hand only if you need to back the fittings off and on for any reason. Teflon tape is good but is really meant to be used that first time you tighten the fitting. Loosening and re-tightening fittings will quickly wear it down. The faucet I actually have not yet installed in place, but its attached, working and is actually better quality than I expected. I'm storing the faucet assembly under the sink when done with it, for now. Actually I may not install it to the sink at all. It is kind of nice to be able to move itto the container. I have several two gallon containers that won't fit this small sink for example, so I just fill them at the counter or even on the kitchen floor. The drawback to this is that you need to drain the trapped water in the tubing after you turn the faucet off. I just use the sink for this. Misc Notes Output flow is good. I'm not taxing the system heavily (~2 gals/day) so if the tank is full the pressure is great and will fill a 1 gal. container fairly quick. On a 2 gal container it slows a bit near the end, when it gets to a trickle it's done for awhile and you need to let process again, this amount of time varies with the water pressure in your home. Mine is pretty good, not sure exactly what it is, but its north of 70 PSI for sure and it takes a good 2-3 hours to fill the tank. I can get 2 of 3 gallons in 1.5 hours! If yours is < 50 PSI I would recommend doing your research on possibly incorporating a permeate trap. Otherwise it will take longer to fill your tank and will result iin more grey (waste) water (which can be easily collected for use in the garden). If it's taking 5-6 hours or something longer to fill the tank, then your water pressure is probably too low and almost certainly not a problem with the system itself. The RO process for the system requires ~70 PSI as I understand it. I think this is even in the paperwork somewhere. BTW, the tubing is sturdy and won't kink but if the system is slow you'd want to check this. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), this is why you're here yes? OK mine went from ~ 250 ppm DOWN all the way to ~ 6! I am very happy about this and it was my target TDS. I had been slogging to the store to buy water from a commercial RO system with the same TDS, but haha not anymore! PH (Potential Hydrogen or Acidity/Alkalinity), went from 8.0 to 6.7 which is a good improvement. The PH level of pure water is 7.0. Noise. The system, while in operation is very quiet for me. When I fill a container at some point I hear a small thud and the thing kicks into operation. I'm not hearing any dripping or water noises within the system at all but I know it's doing it thing. Packaging & Quality of materials is excellent! Everything was very clean, safely packed and wrapped or sealed where applicable like the food grade tubing. Customer Support is EXCELLENT! I had a question about pre-filters and the response was immediate, friendly and helpful. I really think it sets them apart from competition and you could not ask for better. This factor was a big part of my decision to buy from them, as again I'm the handiest dude around.highernrg

Be carful not to lose the tiny nylon tube inserts that are loose in the connections bag. Good value and good support when I needed installation advice. The RO probably removes more minerals than commercial RO water that gets remineralised. I would say the taste from our city water supply after going through the system is halfway between distilled and commercial RO water, so I ad a tiny amount of Himalayan salt, which may not be the perfect remineralization solution, but it works for me.Peter

I've had numerous tens units over the years. This one is one of the best you can get. It has many settings and is very easy to use. I use it for my old leg injury and it works great. After a 20 minute session (or more if you wish) my pain is reduced by more than 75%. By the next morning it's 90% better. It's very powerful so be careful. It has 10 levels but on most settings 4 or 5 is plenty powerful. As good as you will get in most therapy clinics..banknatha

This thing is awesome! I bought one in the past with 2 pads same brand and loved it then decided that wasn't enough. This thing.. 8 pads, clear screen, lightweight, easy to figure out. It can run on battery or USB power. Pretty good quality for the price19chreelou90

I brought this little machine bc Ive had a stroke and my left hand is paralyzed . When I had Pysical therapy they used this for my hand. One day I got a pop up for this machine. I didnt know they sold portable ones thats battery operated. It works great for me. Thanks for selling it. Im very pleased with my order.smoky_49

I really used this unit recently when I had knee replacement surgery. The placement of the new joint made me have muscle spasms behind my knee and into my gluteus area. The unit was a tremendous help. In the middle of the night when I could not sleep, using it would allow me to finally get some rest without taking narcotics *which I'm not sure would have completely relieved the problem anyway. The pads are super sticky. I've used them multiple, multiple times and they still stick. I like the plastic grid they are kept on when not in use. I've seen other units that have you put the pad on a sheet of plastic….not nearly as good. I wish the clip that is on the wires that connect it to the control was not in the way of the on/off button. But it's not a huge problem. The battery is included, but it is not a standard size that you can find anywhere. So you may want to get an extra before you need it. The unit is pretty sturdy. I accidentally dropped the control unit in water! I took the battery out and allowed it to dry completely. Ta-dah! It still works.rzerbak

I bought the Omron ekectro THERAPY device a couple of months ago because I occasionally have back pain, and I've found that transdermal electrotherapy often helps to relieve the pain. Yesterday, I awoke with serious lower back pain and saw my chiropractor who gave me an adjustment and electrotherapy. This morning, still suffering, and in the midst of major snowstorm, I broke out the Omron. One treatment of less than fifteen minutes substantially relieved the pain and eased the muscle spasms that were stiffening me. This thing is great. I'll be using it whenever needed, and I'll be skipping the electrotherapy in my chiropractor's office which will more than pay for the cost of the Omron. I also have an Omron blood pressure/pulse monitor, and I recommend it highly as well.NAHinPHL

I purchased one for my daughter a few years ago, it really helped her. I recently had back issues with pain and purchased my own machine as I had a hard time doing my job at work. I was amazed at how fast it started to relieve the pain. I didn't even miss any time off work and my co-workers couldn't believe how better I was. I told everyone about the Omron electro THERAPY pain relief device, without that, I'm sure I would have missed a few days off work at least. I have recommended this device to friends and would recommend it to anyone with back/neck pain. It is a smaller version of a TENS unit a physical therapist used on my back years ago, but works the same way, plus it runs by batteries so you can wear it anywhere you go (work, shopping, etc.)Anne
