    I have the Chattanooga Primera. It's the same one my PT office uses when they have too many appointments to use the large unit. Sorry, I dislike most rechargeable units. I'm happy with the one I have which uses a 9 volt.

    Use alcohol wipes to clean your pads and they will stay sticky much longer so you won't have to buy as many. The alcohol will clean off any oils that the pad picks up from your skin.

    Dipping out 55 seconds in because I was hoping this would review different units not be an endorsement. :( Why can't I find a genuine person just reviewing different types? I like mine but its getting old and a bit battered. I wanted to see what my replacement options were and I thought with the title that this could be helpful. You should have titled this video better, its misleading.

    Looking for tens device with EMS feature. Rechargeable batteries are a must. Trying to build up muscle where injury has taken place.
    Like neck, 4 bulging disks, if my neck muscles(traps)were bigger, I wouldn't have so much pain. I have sciatica, and if my back muscles were bigger. Degenerative nerve damage to L.upper pectoral, to build up muscle around damaged area.
    So, I have legitimate concerns to own/use this equipment when and where on my body I need to.
    Sounds like the Only help, is to help yourself.
    Bruce Lee used one to help the fibers in him muscles to constrict faster and stronger.
    Electrical muscle stimulation sounds better than a bunch of heavy weights trying to build muscle. Never worked for me. I'm 58, 5'9"" and 125#, the gym never interested me.
    Hopefully, somehow I can get monitary help to get the device that produces the strongest current and stable rhythm.
    Thank You for your time presenting this info.

    Can't say I agree with you on the rechargable/built in batteries. Best of both worlds are units that take batteries and just use standard size rechargable AA, AAA etc. batteries. That way you can keep a set on you or worst case scenario if you don't have any and they do die while you are out you can pick up a new set in any convenience store on any corner anywhere. Better than having a non replaceable battery that eventually degrades and won't hold a charge, a charging port wear out so you can't charge properly or have no access to a plug if you are out on the road.

    I just got the EMPI Eclipse+ Digital System by prescription through my Doctor. It’s out business, It was affiliated with DSP USA and they were sued by the US military for overcharging and they had a non-claimer settlement... So they do no longer carry this device but is still available for purchasing why is this and can you do a little review about this unit. It’s not cheap it’s quite expensive but I have insurance because I live in Canada, yay... Typo not going to fix

    I want a unit that differentiates the positive and negative wire. I’ve got two units and neither do that. I also want to manually control Pulse frequency, width, and intensity. I’ve had a difficult time with that too. Preferably the unit would have a 120 intensity but 100 would be acceptable. I want a rechargeable unit. 2 to 4 channels. And finally, I want the unit to take aftermarket pads and not company specific stuff. I would really appreciate any machines you know that meet my criteria. I’m using Neocarson right now, but if I wanted the negative lead on top, I have no way of knowing which is positive and negative. Preferably less than $100 preferably both tens and EMS. I would greatly appreciate your reply with suggestions.
