20 Best Tens Unit Amazon (2022 Updated)

This Tens Pulse Stimulator is excellent. At first, I thought it might not be strong enough, but I was wrong. It’s great to have this little unit attached to the pad with no strings. I put it on my neck or back, and it’s so fantastic to walk around and do whatever you need to do without getting tangled in the wires like in other TENS units.

Another thing I like about it is that it’s so easy to set up and use. When I opened the box, the first thing I did was charge the unit. Once fully charged, I snapped it onto the pad and started the stimulation.

It is a small, powerful TENS unit. It also has a user manual that tells you everything you need to know about this product. It shows you by diagram where to place the TENS unit depending on what your needs are.

It has six modes, and they all do different things. The unit automatically turns off after 20 minutes of not use. The two things I think are the best about this product are the user’s manual because it is so thorough in its information about this TENS unit.

The second thing I like is the fact that there are no wires. I recommend this Mini Wireless TENS Unit as I am so impressed by its capabilities.

I’m giving it 3 stars because of the stickiness of the pad. The unit works well. I used it one time, and kept it on for about 4 hours or so. When I pulled it off some of the gel on one end was pulling away from the pad.

So, I could basically see maybe 1 or 2 more uses before I would need another pad. I use my TENS units for about 3 hours or more. I’ve had chronic, and at times severe back pain for the past 17 years or so.

I need back surgery. When I’m trying to cook, clean or anything remotely laborish I get severe back pain (standing, walking, bending). When I have a TENS unit on for about an hour it gives me somewhat of a numbing effect.

It definitely alleviates the pain. I used the Icy Hot TENS unit for years. They discontinued the unit and the replacement pads so that’s why I am experimenting with other brands. Most of them recommend 20 to 60 minute or so sessions.

But, you can keep them on all day if you wish. You just need to be conscious of skin sensitivity and irritation. So, this is my review for this unit. I would recommend a TENS unit for anyone that is experiencing mild to severe, and chronic back pain.

You know Amazon will contact their customers and offer them gift cards for giving their sold products 5 stars across-the-board. Some people will jump at that, I even did it one time. The best thing I would recommend is to buy from a reputable company that will give you a refund if your not satisfied for any reason.

Try them out and select your choice. Some of the units output are not as strong as others. So, you need to find one that is comfortable and strong enough that meet your needs. This is a true and sincere review.

I hope this helps you.

At physical therapy my therapist used a TENS unit on my shoulder, so I purchased this model so that I could do my own TENS therapy at home. It helped my pain. I like that the instructions are very easy to follow in the little booklet that comes with it and that it has various options for settings, like massage or knead.

The display is also really helpful so I could see which setting I used, and how much time is left in my treatment. I’m glad it came with the 4 AAA batteries that it needed.

I have been giving Pure Enrichment a portion of my paycheck for months, and I’m excited to say their products are worth every dollar. I ordered two PurePulse Pro Advanced TENS Electronic Pulse Simulator units, one for myself and another as a gift.

Set up was easy, and over the past several months, I’ve tried various settings. All I know is, the TENS is magical. I have chronic knee pain in both knees. When I initially started using the TENS unit, I’d only use it for 15 minutes and noticed immediate relief; however, once I started using the unit for an hour, wow, I felt no pain; it’s almost unrealistic; I can go up and down the steps with no problem.

I recommend the TENs unit to assist with pain management; it’s a must-buy.

I bought this little tens machine for my boyfriend after his other machine quit working and I could not be more impressed with it. It has helped so much that I don’t know how we ever lived without it.

He uses his machine pretty much daily and sometimes even more then once a day. My boyfriend has has such severe pain at times that he couldn’t walk or even sit up for almost a week at a time. We have came close on more then one occasion to have him go to hospital for help with the pain but after the first and second use of his tens machine he got such quick relief that it wasn’t necessary to go get help from a medical provider.

The price was affordable and the pads for it are not outrageous either. I recommend this little machine to everyone.

I tested it one night with only one wire, using only 2 pads. I thought it was kind of weak and I had to keep upping the strength. The next night I tried all 4 pads and I played with all the different settings, and it definitely made a difference.

I like the P8 setting, where it cycles through all of the variations, rather than selecting just a continuous cycle for the duration. I also like that you can adjust the time and the strength of each side from this little remote that has a belt clip in case you need to move around.

I suffer from bad back issues and the chiropractor uses TENS on my every week. Now I can do this at home as well. I do think it helps a little bit to relax the muscles. I’ve used the pads several times already.

I am not sure how long they are good for, but hopefully they last awhile. I know you can order extra, they include info on how and where to get more.

This purchase has been a life saver for me. I recently had Tendinitis in my right hand joints and wrist and I could not even move my hand or pick anything up without intense pain. Remembering I had the tens unit I tried it out and within hours almost all of the pain was gone and I have use of my hand again.

It is simply amazing. My hand is almost completely normal. Further this unit is beautifully made and has a very strong pulse. It is top quality and is not a cheap unit and should cost much more. I am amazed.

Thank you pure enrichment for helping my life and health to be restored and much better. Five stars plus! Wendy.

Picked this up the other day with hopes of being the hero for my GF who suffers from chronic back issues. Not only is the device portable but the pads can be put in different places on her back providing much-needed relief.

An excellent product if you need something that’s portable. During the set up of the device I found myself in need of a little support from their customer service department. Not only did agent Adrian respond with a solution he also had a wonderful sense of humor which we all know is needed when calling a call center.

He went out of his way to assist me, Some thing we all hope to experience when we buy a product and find ourselves in need of support. A great product and a great support team to back it up.

I received this as a gift and I love this product. I am a runner and have been dealing with low back pain (SI joint), hip, hip flexor, and iliac crest pain for the last several months. While working with a physical therapist, I use this product in between physical therapy appointments and it provides immediate pain relief.

This is part of my aggressive, daily recovery exercises and I believe it’s made a world of difference in the healing process. I plan to continue using this product for other areas once I begin training again to decrease recovery time and muscle pain.

Have had tens unit therapy before with a large machine. This tiny little unit is absolutely the bomb. So many different modes and settings, have charged the battery one time, have about 8-10 hours and it still shows full charge.

The pads are a 10, just sprinkle some water before and after used like the instructions read. They stick very well but peel off without pulling hair. Highly recommend.

Small and convienent. Wish it had a belt clip to walk around with. The pictures for the Massage settings are confusing. You dont know what the pictures mean. The unit needs a light button to see the display without resetting everything.

It is pretty powerful. I cant take it up to the highest setting.

Good product with great qualities. Value for money. The 8 pads are very useful to put on the back. It has great features and is a great reliver for pain,muscle pain, muscle spasm and body pain. It also give relive from nect stiffness, back stiffness and muscle stiffness once the pain is relieved.

Be careful with application of the pads to the skin. if not applied correctly, or level set too high, you get shock through pads.

This unit is exactly what my pain needs. The smaller pads alloy me to place them where I need them most and I can take it everywhere. Thank you so much for this product.

It works well but doesn’t last long. There always seems like the intensity runs out after the 3rd to 5th use

I had one of these before and it worked so well that I purchased another. I have found this Combo unit useful for a wide variety of internal structural problems (i. e. , bone aches, nerve pains, and sore muscles).

For example, I needed a mid-back fusion and prior to that, this unit was the only thing that eased the pain. Whenever I overdo on exercise or work, this unit is excellent in relaxing muscles. I also had a shoulder situation in which I had a nerve pinched.

This unit was excellent in relieving the nerve pain. Pros: This has multiple program modes for both chronic pain such as bones, nerve and muscle pains. Each mode has both intensity and timer settings.

The screen is easy to read and the buttons are user friendly. The unit is well built and can stand a relative amount of abuse (at least by me). The price is very reasonable for the pain relief obtained.

Much better than medication. Pads are readily available. Cons: Occasionally the unit will not increase the intensity. This may be my own problem, a pad is not secure, but there is no way to tell. Overall, the price is excellent and the unit works wonderful.

I would strongly recommend this unit for anyone suffering chronic bone, nerve, or muscle pain.

I bough this device from Costco in early 2021 when I was not able to go to my physiotherapist because of Covid. I have severe back and neck issues and this little device kept me afloat while I was not able to get professional help.

I use TENS mode everyday on my back and shoulder muscles. I use EMS mode on the my arms. Its been as good as the device my Chiro uses if not better. I highly recommend it. oh! and the battery lasts a long time.

It does work, and can help with muscle issues, there are just a few things about it that drive me nuts. First the pads, that stick to your skin, lose their stickiness after about 2 uses. I’ve washed them, according to the instructions, and make sure my skin is oil free before using, but they still lose their stickiness after about 2 uses.

Second the settings are NOTHING like a TENs unit at your dr. or chiropractor. If you’re looking for something like they use, then this isn’t for you. The lowest you can feel things is a level 2, on any of the settings, but level 3 makes you feel like it’s ripping your muscles off.

I can’t imagine what level 4-20 is like! Like I said, it does work, but you’re stuck with the lower level 2, for the settings, unless you want to feel like your muscles are being ripped off, and there’s a good chance the sticky pads will start to peel off while you are using the product- due to them constantly losing their adhesiveness.

The levels should be more gradual, and soothing. At my doctor I can’t even feel a level 10, and go up to a level 12 or so on my TENs treatment.

This machine is a little buzzier than the one my physical therapist used. It could be my electrode placement, but the current doesn’t seem to penetrate my muscles as deeply, however it’s easy to use and a good price.

Definitely helpful when I am experiencing back pain.

FIRST I bought it for my son who had lower lumbar fusion. And it almost killed him when we turned it on. But I have serious nerve and muscle damage up and down my spine. Also down my leg. This thing has been amazing.

It has 6 different settings. I wrote down what each did and matched it to what the pain was at the time. I can put the electrodes on my back and stick the unit in my pants pocket. The electrodes have lasted me a very long time.

I wash the spot right before I attach it and have left it on all night. You do need to keep batteries on hand but it’s well worth it. I hate it didn’t work for my son because he really needs help but I wouldn’t have bought it for myself.

So I’m so thankful it worked out.

A great machine to help with sciatica, arthritis, gout, lower back pain and menstrual cramps and any other muscular/nerve related debilitation, I found this machine through the help of my physio when I was rehabilitating an ankle fracture, and it mimicked the electro-acupuncture my dad was going for due to his arthritis/gout issues.

I got this for my parents and it helped managed their quality of life so much better. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) works by sending electrical pulses through the skin to start your body’s own pain killers.

The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain. However, it’s also best to work with physiotherapist etc alongside this machine to strengthen muscles as this is merely a pain management machine.

Highly recommend TENS 7000 as its the most durable and the best machine I’ve gotten so far.

Good quality TENS unit with accessories for a great price. Many adjustments available to personalize your needs, instruction booklet included. Only issue I had was inserting/removing the 9V battery with my arthritic hands, even with the ribbon underneath.

I found a tool to help, so all is okay. I like to remove the battery between uses to prolong it’s life.

This Tens muscle Stimulator is a good buy. It aliviates my sore muscles and makes me feel better without taking so many pain killers. It helps me a lot with my sciatic pain, and I also use it on my shoulders, mid and low back aches, hips, legs, etc.

My husband uses It on his knees and shoulders. Be carefull not to use It on bones or delicate skin.

I am very glad I purchased this unit after my physical therapist recommended it. The variety of settings is a huge plus, because I find certain ones work better in different settings. It’s easy to use, no fiddling around with knobs — I had that on an EMS unit, which was a pain — and I love the compact size.

Others I’ve used have been bulky and hard to travel with. The most important part, though, is that it helped my pain even better than I expected. I was pretty sure I was going to need an epidural for my S-I joint pain, but the TENS unit helped me get through a rough patch when pain meds were barely touching the pain.

I’m not as impressed with the pads; they lost much of the stickiness after only a few uses, despite my following of all tips and directions. I bought an extender gel, which has helped. The batteries, though, are great — I usually do hour-long sessions between levels 12-18, and I keep waiting for them to run out.

Great purchase overall.

This unit was recommended by my PT. I bought it ut did not use it for several days. I was intimidated by the feel of it at therapy. They only used it on me one time but I did notice a slight relief that evening.

When I did finally use it on my lower back and found the mode that was most comfortable I found myself to be addicted to it. I found myself easily standing up from a sitting position and even able to get out of bed easily in the morning.

I use it 10 minutes at night by applying all four pads on my back and then lying in bed which is most comfortable. Do do the same when I wake up. While I am not a 100% yet because it’s only been 1 week I have confidence I will get there with regular treatment from my iReliev.

Works great controller is small and convenient easy to put on cuff stays in place. Provides relief fast. Price was fair actually 4 times cheaper than using my insurance card. Easy to wipe off this was Important to me because I use it everywhere I go.

The ergonomic cuff is perfect for my elbow. I prefer it over the usual tens pads. I can move around without worrying about it falling off. That said, note that with the cuff wrapped around my arm, there’s a tendency to sweat especially when the weather is warm.

Taking off a star because when that happens, I have to take the cuff off, wipe the sweat off and re-cuff. Other than that, the unit itself is very easy to use and has 25 adjustable levels. I stay in the mid levels and it’s good to know there’s more ‘power’ available should I need it.

The product is excellent and has up to 25 different intensity levels. It fits well for all members of my family. Only problem I foresee is that the power cable is very thin and I often fear it may break.

Amazed with the Long battery life. I have probably used mine for 15 hours in the last 30 days and it is still holding a strong charge. Came with an extra set of large and small pads- they are super sticky pads and are thicker than most so far theyre very durable.

You can wet them lightly and then let them dry before you use them again if they start losing their stickiness. Definitely do not over wet them and let them dry completely before placing them back on the plastic sheet.

The adapter piece that connects the pads on to the lead wires look smaller than my old Tens unit pads. I couldnt find the size on the plastic pad bags or in the manual so if you need additional pads you may want to contact iReliev for the lead wire connection size if youre buying generic pads from another retailer.

the pre-set functions are well designed. the manual has an easy to understand page that tells you exactly what to expect from each preset- somedays you might want to feel a Continuous comfortable tingling or comfortable pulsing sensation you will use preset P1 or P2 and P3 on the Tens mode.

If you want a variable setting that cycles different sensations you can choose the other 5 presets. P8 is variable and suggested for relief from arthritis. The EMS mode presets work in a similar way but offers different types of stimulation like rhythm, kneading or tapping massage, etc.

I recommend that you keep this page handy for quick reference so you dont go through the process of setting everything up only to find out that you dont like a particular sensation on the preset mode you picked.

I like that the unit has a clip, but its made of thin clear plastic and it does not stay on clothes that are not a thick material very well- that being said, I have accidentally dropped the unit several times and it did not break, crack or scratch.

This unit is small and very lightweight however the screen is very easy to read. The screen is backlit and has a soft blue glow. It does not stay lit very long after you lock the screen to save the battery life.

But if you use the lock feature you can unlock the unit and it will light up again You cannot use the unit while charging. You cannot see the battery life while in use if there is still a good amount of battery life left but according to the manual you will see the icon in plenty of time before it needs to be charged again.

When I received mine I put it on the charger while reading the manual and it charged very quickly. This model is Much stronger than my old analog ReliaMed unit. I cannot go above intensity level 7 comfortably You can NOT set one channel for Tens and the other channel for EMS but you can set each channel for different levels of intensity.

When you turn the unit off the memory feature will reset to the previous mode you used and thats great but you will have to reset the level of intensity each time which is actually a great safety feature.

The product does what it’s made for. It is easy to use once you understand the display. As with most skin pads they lose their grip after repeated use. The display is a blue and black screen with buttons functions to the left and right.

It is easy to read. The body of the tens system is small and compact, it’s hard to believe it actually would do the job, but it does. The attachment clip makes wearing it while out and about doing errands very convenient.

It is plastic so I worry about breaking it, but so far that concern has been erroneous. In all you are getting a quality product at a good price. It has been a worthwhile investment.

I originally purchased this devices to help my mother recover and build back tone in her leg muscles after a long hospital stay that left her weak with muscular atrophy. She also suffered with peripheral neuropathy.

This little machine has changed her world and given her hope. The first use on her feet led to immediate results. Her feet warmed up and she could feel her toes on the floor upon standing. She loves it.

I only wish I would have bought this product sooner. Moreover, my whole family is now using it. I will definitely be purchasing more devices so we don’t end up fighting over the one.

This TENS offers multiple settings but they all are similar and require some finessing to adjust to a comfortable setting. It goes from low to high quick and offers no relief or in-between so start slowly to avoid that electrical shock feeling.

I am a licensed therapist and this is similar to the commercial e-stim unit that I use at work. Of course not as expensive but almost as good. My other electrodes are interchangeable as well. I’ve noticed the reviews of the other TENS unit complain of the battery but I’ve used it several times for 30 min and the battery is still good.

This item is battery operated only. Another tip is to adjust your electrode placement to target your pain and muscles to get the best results. It’s very easy to put the pads anywhere but in order to get results you may have to brush up on your anatomy!.

This one comes complete with machine, batteries, lead wires, four pads and belt clip. I am very familiar with these machines but this one has a couple of extra features I really like. First of all it has what is called a doctors feature or setting which remembers your setting for your if you use the same one for your pain in that spot.

It makes it so much easier than going through all those settings or other memories you have tried and used. It also has a ems setting along with being a tens unit also. I’m not sure if I will use it to much for muscle strength but I’m loving the tens unit on my lower back and neck pain.

It has numerous setting to pick from and you can also use rechargeable batteries in it. Please make sure the area you put your pads (electrodes) on are clean and dry with no lotions on and they will stick just fine.

I really had to push down on mine to get the wires on but they stay once there in there with no turning on you. I don’t wear belts so I just clip it to my jeans front pocket and it stays fine. I love these tens units when I’m in pain it gets me to relax more and feels so good.

The only con I can really fine would maybe be, every once in a while you may get your wire (connection cable), caught on something. I hope this review helps you decide to try one.

I actually like this Beurer muscle training system. I have used it daily for about a week and I like the results. I wouldnt say my abs have returned overnight but I do feel like some strengthening has occurred.

The electrical muscle stimulation feels like a tingle at a low setting but at a higher setting I would describe the sensation as a high intensity workout which can be quite uncomfortable. The 4 self adhesive electrodes gel pads stick very well to my body and do not leave a sticky residue on my skin.

Overall I would recommend this item for muscle training ,but I would say this is not for instant results you must use this daily to help define muscles. Using this beurer muscle stimulator along with regular exercise will increase your results.

Digital email/tens device. 2-in-1 tens pain relief system and end for muscle training. Drug free pain relief and muscle training. 15 preset tens programs and 35 end programs. Includes four self-adhesive electrode gel pads.

Limited lifetime warranty. Clinically proven. This reusable system is ideal for use on the lower back, shoulders, elbows, thighs, knees, calves or ankles. Comfortable portable pain relief.

The pulsing is fine. The pads continually fall off. Today was the final straw. I have had this unit a week. The pads have fallen off or disconnected more times than I can count. RETURNED. I gave two stars because the unit works fine, but the expensive to replace pads just fall off.

I have had a tens unit for years that used cheap to replace pads, and they didn’t fall off this much.

After my car accident and having to be going to physical therapy for the arthritis in my back. I can honestly say that this TENS unit has been a life saver. I like how small, portable and compact it is while still delivering the pain relief that I need for the long haul.

I would advise anyone who is experiencing injuries or constant pains, to invest in a TENS unit. Let this be your alternative to taking pain killers. TRUST ME!.

The first unit lasted 3 weeks then wouldn’t power on. Fresh batteries did not solve the problem. Returned it to Best Buy for a replacement. Used the 2nd unit 2 times before it failed. It would turn on and allow me to adjust the power level up to about 3 then it shut down.

Returned the second unit for a refund. Not dumb enough to try a 3rd one. Do not recommend.

The only thing I dont like about this unit is it does not have a mode that gives constant pulses. They all go for a few seconds then pause for a second. Otherwise its a good product. No batteries to deal with, lots of different modes and the contact pads are good.

Good product. Be sure pads are fully attached to skin surface, or they will not deliver the current. Smaller pads work best for me. Effective in providing pain relief for the osteoarthritis in my feet.

I got this to use on my girlfriends sex spots, It works amazing, If you were hesitating getting one cause you weren’t sure if it would work this way, well you were wrong. Get it and thank me later.

I couldn’t be happier with this product! I ordered on Amazon, the TENS unit came very quickly, Even with the pandemic slowing down shipping services!I was a little apprehensive ordering, knowing that the TENS unit had 20 different modes, thinking I would have trouble figuring it out.

The unit came with great instructions, very clear and easy to understand, and I was able to get the TENS unit working and no time at all. I love the fact that it has so many different modes. Each muscle area on the body might need a different type of pressure and massage.

So it really helps to have different modes. Mine came with eight different pads, two different sizes. I Will need to get more pads right away I think. I’ve had a few other tens units over the years. This is by far the best one I have had!You won’t be disappointed!.

The pads That come with this unit so stick. The problem with this unit is that the how to manual is very minimal. Dies not go into detail how to choose the different areas for your particular problem or how to get to get to the area if pain you have.

You have to do a trial and error method. The best tends unit I have ever had was the Reabilicare 10 years ago. Not sure if it is still manufactured anymore.

The Auvon tens unit really did a great job on my neck. It was very tight which was giving some some numbness to my index fingers. I used the tens unit on a variety of different settings and my Neck loosened up after 5 – 20 minute sessions.

It allowed my neck too loosened up and the numbness started going away. Nice unit.

The Auvon Tens massager is a wonderful, easy to use, compact unit. The gel pads look as if they can be used several times before replacing and they do not leave a residue on your skin when peeling off.

The battery life is extremely good as you can get many uses between charges. Thumbs up!.

Looks like a quality product. I used it to run some lights on the push bar on my jeep. Plenty length to reach from the interior to the lights. Spade connectors are included which made installation simple.

The switch looks good. We will see how long it will last.

This tens unit isn’t bad for the price overall. I have a herniated disc in my low back and sciatica as a result and this has been very useful is managing my pain periodically. I think it is pretty durable for long term use.

I had one before I purchased my second one as a backup, and its still working just as well with my regular use on a daily and weekly basis. There are a few things I dont like, which is that it shuts off pretty fast, between 10 to 25 or so minutes.

The time variations are sporatic, sometimes it lasts only 3 minutes on a setting and other times I’m surprised its still going. Sometimes I like to use it for a few hours at a time, so having to set the settings over and over can be a minor irritation.

The pads do get a little wrinkled over time with use as well, but I havent had any problems with them not sticking. It is annoying to have wires attached to the unit because they are easy to pull off if you forget about them.

I have tried quite a few different tens units and even with some of the irritations, i think the overall product is great for the price and I am happy I purchased it.
