I recently received this wireless unit. Unlike the other reviews so far, I wanted it primarily for the EMS mode. It is a highly rated unit but there are a couple things you should know before you buy it.Pros:-Incredibly versatile! You can customize the stim so many ways to fit your needs. The stim levels go so high, it is unlikely you will ever need the highest.-It comes with a manual that is thorough and easy to read. Read it through once and you have it.-Works exactly as advertised.-The wireless version is worth every extra dollar. No wires, very discrete. Wear the receivers under your clothes and toss the control unit in your pocket or purse.Cons:It can be almost impossible to snap the electrode pads to the receivers! You may have to put the pad and receiver on the floor and push with all your weight through your heel many times. One snap was so impossible, I almost sent the whole thing back after 30 minutes of trying to get the pad to snap into the receiver unit. It finally gave way and I hope it loosens up.-The manual says the electrode pads only last for 20-30 uses. So before you buy this, make sure you know the investment continues. Four more pads costs $30 and you can go through 20 uses very fast. These pads aren’t sold on Amazon right now but at the moment, the U. S. gets free shipping from the manufacturer.-It comes with a nifty carrying case in which the control unit and charger fit but, oddly, the receivers don’t fit with the pads attached. I guess that’s what baggies are for.So if you are willing to overlook a couple of quirks and if your wallet can afford the continuing investment you really get your money’s worth out of this product.UPDATE:Just an update on the company’s “20-30” uses of the electrode pads before needing replacement – I have used the pads significantly more than 30 times and they are still going strong. The key is that after use, be sure to put the plastic shield back on the pads and smooth out any air pockets. This way they don’t dry out.Also, they have just come out with channel 3 and 4 receiver units. If you have a lot of pain spots on your body, you can have 4 of these babies going at once. Just be sure you order the electrode pads with the receivers because they don’t come with them. Just a tip – after you set your program and start the stim, turn off the hand-held control unit to save battery.They don’t have a “dollar electrode club” for the pads yet, as they do for the smaller one. I certainly hope they offer this soon to help defray the cost.Finally, I have dealt with customer service a couple times and they are friendly and helpful. They seem to be really excited about their product, which is important.For these reasons, I am updating my rating to 5 stars.Update 10 months later:I now use the TENS and EMS modes equally. No complaints at all. I have had to replace the electrode pads much less frequently than I originally thought I would. Also, my original con about the snap problem only happened that one time and I never saw the issue on any other pads.

I’ve used TENS units before – and when necessary gifted them – and the traditional wired units have two major disadvantages, wires, and batteries. The standard settings on the less expensive units are a 30 minute automatic shut off, with the signal frequencies set to a general pain and spams setting. This unit offers a wireless option and is rechargeable. It also has the ability to set your unit directly from the unit so you can change your settings according to your immediate needs. The only ding I have on this unit is that the pad placements being wireless require you reset them individually which is find if your able to see them. But when something is positioned so that you can barely reaching it much less see it, resetting them for another cycle can be tricky. A very good buy for the price, just know your limitations.

Pros: no issues with charging/long lasting battery. Liked being able to place them as needed and capability to add more “pucks” later.Cons:- Didn’t stick well, especially on curved areas like shoulders. Doesn’t bend well because the round puck is obviously flat/straight, which hindered the sticky pads from getting a good stick- This unit does not have NEARLY the power that my small,l $25 Tenker unit I got from Amazon. At full blast, it was just “ok”. With my Tenker… I don’t even go halfway up the power settings! In this case, dealing with the wire leads will be worth the power increase.- Others mentioned that it’s a pain to press the “on” button on the pucks, especially when on your back or hard to reach. I thought “duh, just press ‘on’ before sticking it and you’re good!” no. If the timer runs down or at other random times, the pucks will turn off. You cannot use the remote. So, after your 15 minutes or whatever you pick, you have to completely UNstick the pucks, and the on/off buttons are finicky to deal with. After several times holding the power button down, it’ll finally turn on, then time to re-stick everything… to find that the remote is now off. It’s just a huge hassle!!!I plan to keep my $25 Tenker from Amazon and sell this one back. Highly disappointed for the COST of the item! It does NOT have the power.

This is a really good product, just wish it was easier to get the additional pod add ons the same way I got the main unit, on Amazon. Instead you have to go to their website. What is cool is that you can buy larger second had pads that actually work.

This is the third TENS machine I have bought. I have a wired version which works wonders but I got tired of the wires. This one works pretty good for pain relief but it is not as strong as my wired one. The fact that it does not have wires is a big plus for comfort and convenience so I recommend it for that but don’t expect it to be super powerful.

Fantastic to be free of cords & outlets. This is the difference between your cell phone and an old landline with a rotary dial. Big improvement over “cordless” models that still use wires to power the electrodes.
