Pure Enrichment PurePulse TENS Electronic Pulse Stimulator - Muscle Relief & Massager; 2 Channels, 4 Electrode Pads, Easy Controller with 6 Programs & 3 Massage Modes for Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain

UPDATE: it’s now 2024 and both of my units are still working beautifully. Even if I haven’t used it in months, I’ll pull it out, find it not working and think, okay, this is finally it, it’s had it, hubs just snickers, replaces the batteries and it’s back in business. 🤭 I actually got on this morning to see if they still sold these because I want an extra unit to travel with that I can always leave in my suitcase. I was thrilled to find they’re still being sold. Please don’t hesitate to buy this. It’s a FABULOUS price and when you can get 5+ years of service out of it (my original unit was purchased in 2017, so 7 years for it) that’s less than $5/yr for solid technology. If either unit died today, I still got more than my money’s worth and I’d immediately order a new unit.UPDATE: it’s now 2022 and it’s still working perfectly! Granted, I don’t use it daily, maybe a couple of times a month but still. That’s impressive.2020 my dog had some spine/leg issues. Vet wanted him to have TENS therapy and told me to bring my unit in for her to test the settings we needed for the dog. She was so impressed with how strong this was for a home unit, she asked me for the Amazon link and ordered one for herself and one for her mother! It’s an impressive little unit and I hope, if it ever dies, that I can get another.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I never knew I could get a Tens unit that worked as well (and feels just as powerful) as the one my chiropractor uses, and at such an amazing price to boot! And it's a wonderful, portable size too!I have a chronic disease that causes a lot of pain, this unit helps take my pain away and allows me to do more things that I wouldn't have been able to do without it.I wish I could give more stars than 5, as I feel in this case 5 is too low. I'd rate it a solid 10, I'm that happy.If you are considering buying a Tens unit, I recommend this one. Both hubs and I love it!

I'm 55, and run marathons and ultra marathons. After a race or a hard training run, my legs, back, hips, and bottoms of my feet can be sore and tired. At the Boston marathon expo this year I tried out a similar massager but it was over $100. When I saw a deal for this under $20 a week later, I jumped on it. It's not much more even without the deal.First off, it feels great while getting the massage! The massager comes with 2 separate controls and jacks with 2 cords that branch to a Y with 2 pads each, so you can do 4 spots at once. However, I've found using both jacks at once is underpowered, so I just use 1 jack--2 pads. You can adjust the level from 1 to 10. Depending on the spot I am massaging, I use a setting between 5 & 10. I don't know that I'd go much beyond 10 if it was available. It shuts off after 15 minutes (with the minutes remaining displayed), at which point I move the pads to another spot (though once in awhile I'll give the same spot a second time). To reset you just spin the power level dial back to 0, and then back on. This dial also pretty well prevents it from accidentally turning on. Actually I just noticed a repeat button that probably also does this.You an choose the type of massage to do (massage/beat/knead) but I prefer the program option for the area you are massaging (waist, joint, shoulder, arm/leg, sole).The device takes 4 AAA batteries. I'm put Eneloop rechargeables in. I'm not sure how long they last yet I probably had 5-6 hours on them when I did a recharge to take with me on a trip where I was running a marathon, to make sure I had a full charge. It's definitely not like one or two sessions will zap the batteries.I'm not going to claim that it does miracles and my body feels all better after the massage, but I feel like it is noticeably better after. Hard to quantify. Using it after this last marathon, my feet still felt sore and stairs weren't easy after using the massager, but the next morning I felt much better. I can't say how much of that was due to the massager. Bottom line is that it feels very relaxing while using it, and seems to do some good overall, so I will keep using it and can recommend it.Disclaimer: I was offered a free set of 4 electrode (replacement) pads for my review, with no suggestion of how to rate the product. I would give the same review without this incentive.

Shattered my femur and incurred some other injuries in an accident recently, and TENS was recommended as a way to clear up the inevitable aches and pains involved in getting used to wheelchair living (and such). There's also some (fairly contradictory) research showing that electrostimulation can assist in promoting bone growth, so I was anxious to try it, especially as it's so expensive.It's relatively simple to use: You peel off the 4 electrode pads from the supplied plastic sheet, attach them to the affected body part, snap in the leads to the electrodes and the unit, and turn the thumbwheels on either side to dial in the intensity you want. (Tip: Start low, at 2 or less, and gradually dial up, or you will literally get an unpleasant shock) Then you choose the stimulation pattern you want.The unit delivers a 15-minute session, which is one of the cons: There doesn't seem to be a way to lengthen or shorten that time. Several research studies I found indicated that very low-voltage stimulation over several hours helped when healing fractures, so the ability to simply set an intensity and leave it there for an hour or so would be welcome.Another con: The thumbwheels on either side of the unit control intensity, so you must be VERY careful when you slip this device in and out of a pocket. I've dialed all the way up to 10 a couple of times; doesn't really injure anything, but it's certainly not pleasant.Not necessarily a con, but don't expect the electrode pads that come with the unit (4, one for each lead) to last very long. I get 3 or maybe 4 uses out of one pack before it needs to be replaced. Syrtenty sells 44 replacement pads for $18.99;if you're planning on regular sessions, get at least a couple of packs.
