Works well and is fully controllable
Wanted a TENS unit that could be left in my camping equipment. That meant that it had to use batteries as recharging is not always an option while out camping. This is the perfect fit for that job. Being of advanced years pain from things like hiking and such are the expected norm so one of these is a good addition.<br /><br />This one is larger than my other TENS units. It is about the size of a regular TV remote and feels about the same in hand. It has the controls on the sides for two channels. There are a number of buttons on the front that allow you to choose between 5 different pre-programed events. Below these are three settings so that you can change between the pre-programed settings and custom set your own. You can also increase or decrease the speeds of each setting by using a rocker switch on the face of the unit. Something that my other two devices do not allow. Intensity is controlled but rotating two knobs/wheels on each side.<br /><br />Using the device was easy and quite effective. I do, however, feel that the intensity is a bit weak compared to my other devices and the three buttons that let you select the type of pulses really seem to be only two selections. The message and knead modes seem to be the same and there is little difference between them.<br /><br />Comes with the device, 4 AAA batteries, two leads and 4 pads. The pads are quite sticky, as they should be, but there really should be more included with the device. You are going to need more so order them along with this. You will eventually need to replace the pads on any device, just sooner on this because there are not many included. Also included is a well written and readable manual.<br /><br />All-in-all it is a battery powered unit and is quite nice for a battery unit.
