Replacement for an older tens machine of a different brand. Chose this med-fit1 model as it is basic, no frills and easy to use. No digi screen you need a magnifier glass to read (!), no scrolling through many settings every time you switch it on and you don't have to restart it every 15 minutes which we've found is an annoyance in its own right when using a dual machine getting both to start and finish at the same time!.There was a med-fit3 model available at only a slightly few pounds higher price to this model, but steered away from that as had a small digital screen and used the rectangle 9v style batteries and we wanted to go simple and be able to use our AA rechargeable batteries in our new purchase going forward.It does look like a retro radio in look with the belt clip, but the functionality stands out with this model.Putting in the 2 included batteries that came with this tens machine was a little difficult in that it took a few attempts to get the cover off. Sure it will get more loose and easier the more times the batteries are changed.Instruction manual of where to place pads and level of setting useful. Indications some purchasers have had their physio or pain clinic set up their new machine, but in our case as neither of these are involved so we needed to go more by info from the manual and was trial and error.All individuals must be different and it must also depend on which part of the body you are using the tens machine, we found that some of the settings suggested by the manual were far too high/severe for us (back, neck and knee areas). We both found the best setting, for first use for us was Mode "N" constant, Pulse Rate 75, Pulse Width 120, Intensity Setting 3. Anything over this was just too uncomfortable. For now this level of setting is powerful enough and a good starting point and we are sticking with it.We can switch the machine off and turn it back on again and only need to turn the intensity setting to 3 and it is ready to go again. We've left the pads on and tens running for an hour and no discomfort.The med-fit! comes with 8 sticky pads. Longevity depends on amount of use. Sometimes a wipe over with a damp finger with water can reinvigorate the stickininess for many more uses before formally changing for new ones. Pads for tens machines can be quite expensive. Reading reviews prior to placing the tens order, I ordered some additional Auvon brand pads which come in different sizes and are of a good quality and price to use with the med-fit1. The bigger (rectangle) pads are great for larger areas such as the back and big knees than the small square ones!Unknown yet how long the batteries will last, but will use rechargeable when those that came with the machine need replacing.Hubby says it definitely helps his dodgy knee with the pain relief better than his previous heat pack or pain relief gel.My only disappointment is that when not in use it either has to go back in the box or just left on the table or put in drawer. Perhaps for a slightly increased price a simple soft storage bag could be included for safe keeping of all components and to help carry when travelling.This tens machine is well worth the money paid and expect it to be frequently used.

Great for pain relief easy to put on and off with lots of adjustable settings

This compact tens device is superb in its convenient design but gives out amazing selection of choice ways to relieve pain and swelling. A foot device can cost from £90 to £299 but this portable device can be used virtually all over your body at a cost of under £30!!! You can wear it while working or resting. I would recommend that you buy extra pads at a cost of under £6 to have as a backup as the pads last a while but will need replacing months down the line. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered a second one for my son.

Very good item, good quality, pads stick to skin brilliant, sturdy, and really does give you pain relief

Firstly, use of this product has reduced my oramorph dose by half which is amazing. It’s easy to use and the batteries last for so long in it (I’ve bought rechargeable ones now too). BUT the pads are extremely poor quality. All of them broke within the first few days. This is not acceptable!!! I keep the pads on throughout the day and am super careful when sitting/walking/using the toilet - so I don’t catch them. But the wires just work their way out of the pads all the time. I even wear multiple plasters over the wires to try and prevent this but it only delays the inevitable. The seller sent me a dozen free pads (although their customer service/communication is not the best). This is the reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 as the pads are a massive let down. However I would still highly recommend the product.

As an individual with chronic pain and Fibromyalgia, I sought out a device like this as an alternative to medication and spending a fortune on pain management specialists every few months to get injections. It definitely takes the sting out of my chronic pain and is just such a straight forward, easy to use device. The electrodes will keep sticking upto 6-7 goes if you ensure you don't have any products on your skin before using. I always keep the plastic and stick the electrodes back onto it after use.I highly recommend this product. Personally, it has provided me with extended periods of relief from my pain. It is an easy to conceal device that you can wear to work or at home or in bed etc.I have returned to buy a second one today, because I brought the first one into my elderly parents and both are getting such relief from arthritic pain and niggles that I can't take it back 🤣. The whole family now uses it when needed and everyone says the same thing, definitely worth the money, great little product and great alternative to medication or in conjunction with.🤣 I may even start buying them as presents for friends!!Also arrived super early first time round.
