Mini TENS Unit - Muscle Stimulator - 2 Channels, 10 Modes, 20 Intensity Levels

I received this unit a couple of weeks ago and was a bit hesitant to review it because, on the first application, I could not get a couple of the pads to adhere to my skin, so I put aside because I did not have the patience to deal with it at that time. However, this morning I decided to use alcohol pads to clean my skin of any oils, wiped down the pads and started all over again. I am pleased to say that I had no problems with adherence. I did not give 5 stars on pain relief because I'm not sure yet, but the first time when I used it, I did find a difference in my pain level.

Unit does what is used for, but buttons are less sensitive to touch to respond.

Great product and service!

Favorite features include: User friendly; choice of 10 patterns; controls include a lock (so you don't accidentally increase intensity); timer feature in case you fall asleep. I'm very pleased.

Great product for the price

This is like getting a massage every time I use it. It is great on my neck and shoulders.

We bought the tens unit on a doctor's advice to help with chronic headaches. In our specific case, it does not seem to help with those headaches. On the other hand, it does an excellent job stimulating and relaxing muscles in general. For anyone who wants it for those purposes, this particular unit is probably as good as most of the far more expensive ones. That it doesn't do what I wanted it for, does not mean it doesn't work. Just that it is among the many, many treatments that don't help my daughter with this particular issue.

I've been troubled for many years with upper crossed syndrome (from working on computers since 1976). Yoga, regular exercise and regular massages didn't address the pain and discomfort. My massage therapist suggested I try a TENS unit, so I purchased the above model. The cost was reasonable. I found it easy to use; I made it through the learning curve with the first use. Remarkably, after the first use I found significant relief. I was able to turn my head to the right (unable to do so previously). My shoulders relaxed. Most importantly, I was able to sleep through the night without waking from pain in my neck and shoulders.I consider this purchase to be very worthwhile.

We had received a very small portable TENS device as a gift, but it only had one setting/mode/duration. It was good for providing some relief, but I wanted a device with more settings and strength levels. I was very happy with the number of modes and power settings on this device, though I usually default to the same three 'pattern' modes. The pads are very sticky, even after repeated use, and I appreciate the little piece they give you for storing the sticky pads in between uses. I have not tried running both A and B at the same time, but I like that I have the option if I wanted. I could see that being helpful if you had more than one person who wanted to use it while sitting close to each other, or if you had two different areas you wanted to treat at the same time. It also has several different duration settings which is nice. It has more power settings than anyone probably ever needs (I never really go beyond 3-4 on the strength), while being conveniently small. Additionally, you can get a lot of uses out of it without having to constantly recharge it. I am even pleased with the box that it comes with. It's not a cheapy thin cardboard, so you can use it to store it while at home and the box is going to last a long time. Overall, very happy with the kinds of options that come from such a small device.

What a difference this has made to help my back..

I love the simple user interface. I have used tens units for years. This one is easy to understand and use.

Long ago and far away, my husband had a TENS Unit. It was large and expensive and eventually ended up in the back of the closet. When I received a special offer to purchase this TENS Unit, I figured it was no risk. I surprised my husband and now he has been using it every evening since we received it a couple of weeks ago. He's had chronic back pain for years and he says this relaxes his muscles. He wants to buy a second unit just in case this one stops working. Very impressive!

I have had sciatica for over a year now and it is absolutely worse than my bone ob bone knee arthritis. I had both my knees doe hoping to walk again and in comes sciatic pain and i am crippled with back and leg pain. The tens unit helps, believe this 68 year old lady!

Finally, my boyfriend can give me a proper deep tissue back massage without complaint.

This product is AMAZING! I’ve always suffered from lower back pain and this product gave the greatest feeling of relief the next morning after I used it.Sometimes I would use it twice a day in different spots and that helps a lot. This was a great investment and I highly recommend it!

I have been use this for 5 days is really fantastic

I have a retrolesthesis at L3/L4, which means that one disk is displaced and doesn't sit squarely above the disk below. As a result, the surrounding muscles are always working to stabilize my spine. They are endlessly sore and when they spasm, I'm off my feet (and on a muscle relaxer) for days. I've had my TENS unit for a week now, and I can report real relief!I'm happy to have a drug free alternative that really makes a difference. So far I've used it only at my desk, but now that I'm getting used to it, I'll wear it when cooking too.Highly recommended!

I used an older tens unit for pain relief years ago and this is a pretty awesome upgrade. My old unit only had one option for muscle stimulation and this one has about 10 different options for different types of stimulation. When I get bored with one type of stimulation, or it doesn't feel great, I can switch it to a new and different type to keep it fresh. Overall great product with good instructions that's ready to go right out of the box. I was using the tens unit within a couple of minutes of opening the package.
