Quell is an overpriced tens unit with horrible overpriced electrode pads that will cost you more than a cable bill each month.
Way too pricey. Quell claims these last 2 weeks a piece. I'm not seeing it. I wipe my leg with alcohol, and place on my leg without touching the pads with my fingers. The problem is that because of the curve of the leg, the pads have a tough time staying stuck, but instead naturally they start to curl at the edges. The strap doesn't really do much to remedy this problem. The pads still don't remain tight to the leg... which causes a burning sensation because the current isn't distributed properly.<br /><br />Quell's remedy to this is to not fix their crappy electrodes, but to instead try to up-sell you on their more expensive sports electrodes. What they should be doing is offering a refund and fixing their product to work simply like they claim in their advertising. It's not like I'm the only one complaining about this. It's a very common complaint.<br /><br />Honestly, I think this company is ripping people off. I don't believe for a second their &#34;86% of users experience pain relief&#34; claims. Just look through the comments on their Facebook pages / ads or here on Amazon and you'll see this number doesn't comply with actual reviews. I wore the device for 4 weeks and all I did was waste time, burn my legs and spent over $300. Since I purchased the Quell on eBay, I can't return it. The reason I purchased it on eBay was to save money. I figured with an &#34;86%&#34; success rate, the odds were in my favor lol.<br /><br />What really irritates me is why Quell charges $250 for an overpriced tens unit that fits in a strap. They claim it's special technology but that's utter BS. It's a wearable tens unit for your leg. I can see them charging maybe $80 for this, but how they justify charging 10x the cost of my very good $30 tens unit that's actually more powerful, I have no idea.<br /><br />And why they must charge $30 for 2 crappy electrode pads that barely last a week, when the pads for my tens unit only cost a small fraction of this price. They are the same exact thing basically, except the Quell pads are placed on a piece of paper with 2 snaps attached. How that justifies a 3x cost increase is beyond me. You'd think that a larger venture like Quell with national ad campaigns would be getting great deals with their bulk purchasing power... compared to a small company selling tens units strictly on Amazon.
