A fantastic device, doing your shoulders/Neck at same Time as your Back is just superb, a super device, for my aching body lol, you can feel a difference after you have used i
Having used a Med-Fit Tens Machine for a long time, I was fed up of spending. ‘ on batteries
Every month more batteries for the landfill.
Then by an happy accident I stumbled upon a rechargeable Tens Machine, how long have these been a secret.
This is an excellent quality Tens Machine, please read the instructions, once you learn you are all set, it’s so easy to use, so many cycles to choose from, four adapter leads, you don’t have to use all four, you can just use two, it’s your preference, there’s a timer function up to 90 minutes which is great for night time users.
The Buttons you’ll need to know
Switching on – The Top button on the side press for a couple of second or switch on and off you go
The button under locks the machine, press again to unlock a padlock shows on your screen next to the battery icon.
M is Modes –
T is Timer
+ is Strength
– is to Reduce
The middle button changes from A to B channels or both
You can’t hold the buttons down you have to press and click over and over, it would be good if you could just press and it takes you quicker to your chosen cycle. I choose option 4 or 15 I use level 20
We moved and I couldn’t find my original machine (same brand). Great value for money, the screen is bigger on this one. Easy to charge via USB. I suffer periodically with a bad back and these machines are really helpful in enabling me to still move about. Definitely recommend!
For the size of the machine its great does what it’s supposed to do it has 24 functions and has 4 outlets so you can have upto 8 pads on you at any one time and the pads come in two different sizes they are not big big pads. You can choose between 10 – 90 mins for it to be on and it switches off once the time has run out .
I found it easy to use and it’s a great price. Before this one I had a different make which was quiet big and clumpy this one just fits nicely in your hand or your pocket .
It’s helped me with my back and the rest of my family use it .
Very Happy with my purchase .
Easy to use, I looked up the model number on the box to figure out the buttons, though most of them I already had, watched a few you tube videos to see how to use it, and so far I’ve used it three or four times, with two uses today. I’ve tried all the settings and most of them to the fullest intensity, or as near as I could bear. I find up to mid intensity that I feel virtually nothing but beyond that it has enough power for me. In fact some of the 24 different options are better than any massage I’ve ever had. I’ve used all the TENS and EMS settings and the range of different options is hard to believe, it’s that good. The only difficulty is fitting the pads on my lumbar region I.e. lower back / hips in that it’s hard to see as you’d need eyes in the back if your head but I’ve checked using the phone video camera and the bedroom mirror and you do need to know to place the pads diagonally and sufficiently spaced – rule if thumb is the spacing needs to equal the length of one pad from each other in a square across the area you want to work. I recommend research but it seems you can basically use it daily as much as you want
But there are safety considerations e.g. have you a pacemaker? And if in doubt give your doctor a shout.
I bought this as a friend at work swears by them. Got in one day with Prime. Easy to to set up once it`s charged. Whacked the pads on either side of my knee as that`s where my problem is and gave it a whirl with the settings. I started low as recommended and built up the pulses until I could feel it doing something.
I`ve had it working for about 2 hours now, no change in battery life and pulsing away very well. Normally sitting for a while means standing up and walking very painful, or stretching my leg. Of course this won`t cure my damaged knee, but it does help massively, the standing and walking pain has just about gone. Amazing bit of kit and well worth reading up about before you buy and understand how it works.
good lightweight machine One of the few on the market with outputs for 4 sets of pads the channels are labelled A1 A2 and B1 and B2 the A and B channels can be set up independently Easy to slip into a pocket for carrying around. The instructions are clear the only drawback it is not clear which output is best for any specific condition – I have used several tens units over the years and this is good value for the purchase price
For me, I’ve been using one for years, and have bought this one as an upgrade/replacement. I’m really impressed with the power, settings and small size of the unit. The level of pain relief it gives me avoids the use (and side effects of) the opioids I’m prescribed, and gives me the respite I need to relax. I have a genetic disability with a chronic pain chaserso having this unit in my tool kit for regular use is indeed money well spent.
Remember though ppla tiny bit of research about where to put the pads really helps.
I’m medically trained and have years of experience with these devices, but the instructions that come with it aren’t sufficient on their own for a newbie (in my opinion) I promise you though5 minutes on Google and you’ll have the basics down on which nerves you’re wanting to stimulate and where they are. Good luck
I have read alot about not understanding the A & B button, I find it simple enough and the + & – tabs for strength of pulse, is good and easy to get around. I find it a good quality machine with length of wire to able you to walk around if necessary. It did has help a little, I need more time using it and getting used to all the massages it has to offer and could do with a long timer, instead on 90 minutes, and a belt holder too.
So I will be taking another go, I have mine at passed half way , so that tells you something! But in all, a very good product at a good price.
Just need a new body to go with i
The machine has enough programmes to be able to target what’s needed and the bonus with this machine is that it has 4 separate ports so different programmes can be used at the same time and 8 pads can be used if needed! Other brands did not have this level of versatility!!
It works a treat and can also be used in a muscle stimulation programme EMS.
I haven’t used this regularly enough to benefit from reducing daily medication, however, I believe if I were to, then no doubt I would 100% notice significant improvements.
Unfortunately you have to have someone to help to place the sticky’s on.
Bad point is that when you use them only 2-3 times they start to fall off because they can’t stick properly anymore. Also the wires are a bit of an issue when you have all of the sticks on your back and trying to get dressed with so many wires dangling down.
Definitely helps to relax your muscles and improve circulation.
I suffer from arthritic shoulders and back, because this is a 2 channel machine with 4 pads on each channel I can get fast relief to all areas.
The range of programmes is excellent and I easily found settings that suited me.
I did need to contact support because I has a problem that turned out to be entirely my fault, there was nothing wrong with the item. However support was fast and friendly, my issue was resolved very quickly.
I highly recommend this item, especially if you have an older machine, because technology has advanced so much since I bought my first machine, this item is miles ahead of it.
For me it’s been a positive experience and battery life is great, worth every penny
Size wise it’s no bigger than the old iPhone 4, it’s lightweight, and doesn’t require a PhD to operate.
It is also rechargeable with a good battery life meaning it can be taken with you and used discretely whilst out and about.
I was extremely sceptical at first and didn’t hold out much hope of it making any difference. Boy was I wrong! After using this for just 3 days on my back I’ve actually slept the whole night through without being disturbed by pain for the first time in years. As for the more widespread fibro pain, it offers relief whilst using it. In fact it’s quite relaxing and the relief so far is lasting a good couple of hours. What it’s like during a major flare I can’t say yet and only time will tell but I am hopeful.
It’s also fantastic at relieving the dreaded restless leg syndrome that comes alongside the fibro and I no longer have to become a contortionist and twist myself into different positions every few seconds.
Overall this machine is so far proving to be an absolute godsend. My only regret is that I didn’t purchase one sooner.
I just did my back again and I have only used it for a few days but it has made a significant impact on my back and seems to speed up the recover time. With a fixed menu and everything controlled by a couple of buttons, it is very easy to use. As I said, it is well equipped with leads and pads, charges direct from a USB port and the battery lasts well and seems to do the job!
I can’t offer any view on the EMS side yet but it was a nice to have just in case.
My only criticism would be the manual is scant on detail and I went to a youtube video to see where it would be best to place the electrodes, but I would probably have checked out a couple of videos anyway.
Very Happy with my purchase.
I have had this device less than 24 hours and after several short periods of use I think I can detect an improvement, i.e. a lessening of muscle pain, in a frozen shoulder where I have had pain for over 6 months. The placement of the pads can be difficult on the back and I recommend help to get satisfactory positioning. The device is fully portable so can be worn all day as required. My only issue is that the instruction booklet that came in the box is badly written with some poor English and is not entirely intuitive in defining the functions of the device. After going online to extend the warranty, I obtained a PDF download that is a little more illustrative of the functions. It is also useful to read online how similar devices work so as to increase understanding of its functions. With some extensive use of the device planned to address other muscle pain problems, it is worth including additional pads and conductive gel in the purchase.
This is a great little TENS machine. My first experience of TENS was many years ago with a unit that took AA alkaline batteries, so the built in rechargeable battery instantly put this as a brilliant example of how to do it. The unit is compact (about the size of an iPhone 4S) and charges over MicroUSB (cable included). There are a number of different programmes/modes grouped by body part (i.e. shoulder, knees, back) that effectively equate to different stimulation patterns (I don’t think there would be any issue with using a back programme with a shoulder though). You are able to set your intensity, time and programme very easily with the buttons.
I’m yet to use it with the EMS function, but if the intensity of the TENS programmes are anything to go by it should give a pretty decent experience, although I think it is best to treat this as a predominantly analgesic tool as the pain relief functionality works really well.
Straight out of the box I was impressed. The build qualify of the main unit and accessories immediately gave me the impression of a superior product. I took no time to charge the unit which took about 2 hours and waited until the evening to try it out. I have had post surgery pain in my back and abdomin for years which is quite debilitating and sleep is never great. I got my wife to position two electro pads on mid back and two on my shoulders. She is a beauty therapist who does a lot of massage so knows which muscles to target. She also wanted to try it out for her achy shoulders and with the four channels on the unit I was able to set up two more electro pads and run them on an other setting for her simultaneously to my settings for twenty minutes as we lay on the bed. The battery level still had full bars on it. We both felt the benefit before we slept and even notice a difference this morning. Time will fell just how effective this is but we are already a fan.
I use this product daily and it really does help me out with the pain I that have been experiencing for the last few months.
One time the pain was so bad that I had to see my doctor, only to be told that the usual waiting time for a physiotherapist is about 18 months, ouch! Obviously couldn’t wait so long so I stumbled upon this little miracle machine here. It is very easy to use, the battery lasts for many sessions (I think on average I do about 10X 30min treatments on both channels before the battery indicator goes one notch down out of three) and charging is quickly done as well. It is also really simple to use, my only niggle would be that you can’t go back and forth with the programs, the M mode selector only moves forward, so you can’t return to previous program but have to click 20 times instead to do the loop. So maybe just an idea for future model, however so minor I really can’t deduct stars for this.
Also, I do on some occasions use the EMS function as well and within a month I do notice firmer abs, so not only is my pain practically gone, but I look better as well, what a magical machine!
Without a doubt I do recommend this product, and their customer service is flawless as I received a warm welcome email after receiving the product, very happy customer here!!
Update: this is th enemy investment ever. I have. Fibromyalgia and have had spinal surgery and when I use this even for 20 mins it lasts days. So much better for your body than pain killers daily several times a day and the strong pharmaceuticals like gabapentin they give you for nerve pain relief that makes you feel suicidal I wish I’d invested in one many years ago. Stopped all other pills now and just use this. Feel so
Much better!!!! Try it. You won’t be disappointed I promise you!!!
It took me a few times to get used to the sensation so the first couple of times I had it too low. Each time I went up a level made me startle and I thought it would hurt, but then I realised its just the initial change of intensity then it’s okay. Different parts of the body respond differently. So there’s a fair bit of testing to start with, but now I’m quite used to it I really like it for both the sensation and pain relief.
Great variety of options with some modes feeling like a massage. I still haven’t found a favorite setting as I like trying them all. Haven’t tried the EMS yet as I’m mainly using for pain so far.
Battery lasts a very long time without charging.
I’ve been using it when I would otherwise take some codeine, in the hope that I can get by without the meds. It works in that respect, in that it reliefs the pain enough for me to not need codeine.
Great customer service. I signed up for the extended warranty and got free pads. I also asked for more information about the settings and was sent that quickly too. I feel very confident that if something went wrong they’d quickly sort it out.
I has no idea a machine like this was so affordable and wish I’d had one earlier.
I have used this machine for about a month now and it is still on its original charge. On first receiving it I needed to spend a bit of time reading the set up instructions. Normally I just plug stuff in and see what happens but this took a little more doing. Took about 15 minutes to figure it out and now it seems simple.
There are a lot of different settings giving varying pulses. I bought the machine due to lower back pain and it does seem to act as a massager on my injured muscles giving a little relief. I had less success with my hand pain as the machine works best on the more fleshy parts.
The dropping from 5 to 4 stars is that you have to be careful that the pads are sticking as they can fall off quite easily. I got a free pack with my machine which helps. When having medical tests I have had to have hair shaved from the tested area which I had have not had to do with these. They are bigger than the NHS sticky pads.
So as you can see I cannot praise this little machine enough. It really does help me. Having seen how happy I am with mine my partner has also brought himself one.
The lock feature is handy in case you fall asleep and enables additional use through the night.
Improvements I would suggest include quieter, better quality buttons with less travel, and the design itself is literally begging to have touch screen functionality.
Similar in looks to a mobile phone but lighter in weight. It’s a very portable device which can be used without the need to be fully stationary, so long as the pads stay attached. I kept mine on while in the garden, attached to my shoulder with no wires on show. Certainly made walking with a crutch noticeably easier.
Firstly, it’s noticeably better than the cheaper one I tried (which was around 15 cheaper) and the interface is slightly better. It’s also much smaller (like an old small iPhone) and of course easily rechargeable. The pads also seem to be of a better quality. Though to be fair, the cheaper one worked just as well for the available settings it had. I’m still pleased I opted for this brand vs the generic one though.
Pros – small, light, more settings than you probably need but probably easy to operate even for someone not tech savvy. Plenty of pads that seem to be good quality. Battery life is excellent and it’s rechargeable, but you’ll get hours of use off a charge anyway. Light enough that you could *possibly* get away with dropping it on a hard surface.
Cons. The backlight only has one setting and that’s very bright. Compounded by the fact it’s dark diagrams and text on a white background it can be glaring in a dark room. It’s a shame it can’t be dimmed or colours inverted to a night mode. However, the light will go off after a short time if no buttons are pushed even if in operation so it’s not too bad.
All of the programs have to be cycled through with one button. An up, down, left, right, button array would’ve made the experience a bit smoother. Even if only to separate TENS and EMS. But it does make for a very easy to use interface. One button for time, one button for channel select, one button for program select and up/down for intensity
Registering the product to extend the warranty is easy and currently there are also free pads offered if registering.
I was also advised the warranty becomes lifetime if I show evidence of me leaving a review. I would’ve done so anyway and it has no bearing on the content of my review (they did not state it must be favourable or anything untoward).
I struggle with back and ankle problems and see a chiropractor, my mid back get’s stuck and in turn causes muscle problems. Often the muscular problem is delayed rather than instant, it can be triggered by activities such as exercise, DIY or lifting heavy objects it does not trouble me during the day but will suddenly be a problem at night! I don’t know if its linked but I also have restless ankles, again its more of a delayed issue. Even on a normal day without demanding actives I have these issues so most days it’s a problem.
Unfortunately its quite disruptive to my night’s sleep and for many years has meant getting as little of 3 hours a night sleep, also when I am asleep I very rarely get a deep sleep. I have tried many techniques before bedtime to try and relax my muscles to help with this, stretching, massage, ice, heat, foam rolling, trigger point and in all cases I can go to bed and feel comfortable for a short while but not long enough to get to sleep or will fall asleep and be woken up by it, at this point sometimes it can really annoy me as I just can’t get comfortable.
I’m surprised I took so long to try tens as I have tried most other things long before now, I really do find it help’s and provides a long enough lasting effect to allow me to get some sleep, occasionally I may wake up and need to use if on my ankles as I would not usually do anything on them before bedtime but then all I need is 5 minutes one pad on each ankle and it resolves them problem and makes them feel relaxed. I have found on my back its much more effective to leave it on one setting for the duration rather than keep changing, I have even fell asleep during the day with it on.
As far as the device itself, it feels sturdy, well made and of good quality, the screen is big and clear to understand and battery life is good. Having 4 outputs you could use up to 8 pads at a time, so far the first set of pads I have bee using I have used 30 times and they still feel sticky.
I have not tried EMS yet but intend to do so as potentially it could help train my core without the activities involved which give me the muscle problems at night.
If you are looking for a tens unit I would recommend as the quality for the price is good and you can extend the warranty by registering.
My 10 year old TENS machine finally died and so I needed to buy a new one. This AUVON model stood out to me as it has 4 channels (2 pairs) and so can have up to 8 pads on at a time, with each set of 4 using different settings.
It has a range of settings for you to choose from, the only slightly irritating but is that you have to cycle through all the presets one at a time, which is a pain if you want to go from setting 3 to 2.
The reachargable battery chargers quickly and I can have the machine on high for 2 or 3 90minutes sessions a day without needing to recharge.
The unit doesn’t have a belt clip so I’m going to have to make or buy one.
Overall, this was good value for money and is really helping my pain levels.
Purchased this model after reading about more expensive products used for workouts and recovery which appear to do the same job. Liked the fact that there are 2 outputs per channel meaning you can place 8 pads at the same time and thus for example do both sets of quads at the same time and control the output seperately saving time. The device is small and easy to operate and certainly has enough power to get your muscles contracting . The pads stick well and are cheap to replace. The instructions I found were basic and could be better with more detail with pad placement but there is plenty of information on the net to assist. One minor thing though is that when selecting the program you cannot scroll back so if you go past the program, you need to scroll through all of them to get back to the one you want which is slightly frustrating.
Overall its abit early to say if it works in the long term and im still trying the numerous programs including the EMS ones. For the money if your in the market for a Tens unit I would recommend you give this a try.
I initially ordered this after having tried my father’s tens unit as I was involved in a car accident and I had a lot of pain. I must say this is a much better unit than my dads!
What I like about this unit is the size and weight! This is about the size of a mobile phone and weighs about the same. There are 24 different modes (16 for pain relief, 8 for muscle conditioning) and they are easy to step through. I would say that it would have been better if you could step backwards through the patterns, because if you accidentally go past the program you want you have to go all the way through the patterns. But its easy enough to use despite that. The icons show roughly which pattern type is best for the different areas your pain is in which is handy, but I’ve found a combination of different patterns works best for me personally.
I really like that there are 4 outputs and I’ve found that I get good pain relief when I have 4 pads using one pattern and 4 pads using a different pattern.
Another thing that would have been beneficial would be having a back clip. I end up putting the device next to me when I’m sat down rather than being able to clip it to myself.
Overall its a great little tens unit!
