Beurer EM59 Digital 3-in-1 TENS Unit, EMS & Heat Therapy for Pain Relief & Relaxation, Muscle Stimulator with 2 Adjustable Channels, 64 Applications, Timer Function

It works much better than I expected. I use both the TENS and EMS functions and I personally find myself on EMS more often so I can increase the pulse width to its maximum of 450us while also controlling on/off times and hertz. The available options to customize your own 3 TENS or 3 EMS programs is more than enough for even the pros. All the features you need for a fully custom experience are available. Pulse widths, frequency, strength, on/off working time, burst/continuous mode. If you want custom, this unit delivers. And it's very easy to use. It has many pre-programmed functions and therapies, and the central body figure on the screen makes it easy to see where on the front or back of my body to place the electrodes for, e.g. EMS program 12 - you will not be disappointed in the programs it offers, which target just about every muscle group and relief type. The value for the money is ideal. While it is a more expensive model than the cheaper units out there, the build quality is superb and is what you would expect for the price. The fit and finish are fantastic. The included electrodes are great. This unit uses 3.5mm snap-on electrodes. If you're looking to buy more, Axion brand 3.5mm snap-on 2in x 2in electrodes have worked the absolute best out of dozens of brands I've tried over the years with other units. IMPORTANT: replacement electrodes must have 3.5mm snap-on connections. Axion is a good brand for this. They need to make this information easier to find. The "Doctor's Feature" is poorly named but does do what they claim of it. However, you cannot escape the menu without holding the right side down arrow to disengage it before turning back off and on. I dislike the doctor recall feature because of that. Overall it's very easy to use, very well built with great fit and finish, has every option under the sun you could want, and at maximum intensity is very powerful. The manual says this unit sends up to 200mA per pulse. That's one of the highest on the market. It does so at 100 volts. Yes this is safe, and you can find this info on the very last page of the English section of the manual. Also ~ the manual is easy to understand and thoroughly goes through everything step by step. It's worth reading before your first time using the device. Pro tip: clean the area you plan to place the electrodes very well with rubbing alcohol on a cotton-round. Get the dead skin and oil off so it sticks better and conducts better Second pro tip: electrodes are washable. Use as hot water as you can stand. Rub gently for 15 to 30 seconds under hot water. Set aside and let dry for 1 hour. The hot water and brief yet gentle rubbing preserves the electrodes for the longest time. Cold water fails to clean the crap off well enough, which leads to extended cleaning times and loss of glycerin. I would and have recommended this unit to my friends and family. Last info for those who read this far: use rechargeable AAA batteries if you plan to use the device often. It does eat batteries and uses 3 AAA - also, high capacity NiMH AAA will outlast alkaline by hours. Save yourself some money if you use this often.

This works really well. I love the heat option. I've already started looking for replacement nodes as I've read they're hard to get (and so far that's been true). It's well made with a pretty good battery duration. The pads stick well so I definitely want to get the brand pads. The leads are plenty long enough and use the USBC port. It's slightly more expensive than other models but I think it's a descent value. It's small enough to throw in your pocket and walk around with. I've only used the EMS a few times and I don't have a lot of experience with it although it seems powerful too.

I had other units but this one is more potent. I bought the sticky pads from a different brand and worked well.

Worked ok for pain. Bought also for achilles tendon, and muscle exercise. Near impossible to place electrodes accurately. This is more a problem with a poor skin path to that muscle, so may work better in other apps.

Bought it for my parents, working great so far! Couple month of using and no problems with battery, pads or programs. Good product for its price, happy with the purchase!

I don’t understand the high reviews. The heat function is nice but that is the ONLY thing going for this unit. The pads aren’t replaceable, the sticky surface on them is, BUT because of the heat function you MUST purchase Beurer replacement pads that are terribly expensive for what they are, don’t last as long as they should with their hearty price tag ($18+ for 2 sets of pads) and quite cumbersome to replace. Do not be swayed by all the good reviews like I was. I tried to send it back but I had purchased in advance as a gift so by the time we realized how much it would not work for us we were past the return window.

Got for my husband's knee. He said it works great and he likes the different strengths and patterns

Love this machine, I use it frequently. It really eases my back and shoulder pain. The heating element is lovely as well. Highly recommend. Good quality, easy to use.

Acho que acaba por ser uma excelente escolha quando se pretende uma boa razão qualidade/preço. O aparelho é intuitivo e fácil de usar, sendo ótimo para recuperar de lesões. Acabei por ficar tão satisfeita que entretanto comprei um segundo exemplar para oferecer a um atleta.

Classy standard product. Worth money.

J'ai acheté cet appareil Beurer Medical EM49 car je souffre d'arthrose très sévère aux deux épaules, ainsi que d'une capsulite (inflammation) chronique à l'épaule gauche. À certains moments, la douleur est insupportable. Lors de la première utilisation, la sensation des impulsions électriques m'a un peu surprise. Cependant, dès la seconde utilisation, mon corps s'y était déjà habitué. La prise en main de l'appareil est relativement facile, à condition de prendre la peine de lire consciencieusement au préalable le manuel d'utilisation (étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un APPAREIL MÉDICAL, il est particulièrement important de le faire !). Ce manuel est écrit en 8 langues (rien que ça...!) : français, anglais, allemand, espagnol, italien, russe, polonais et turc. Cet électrostimulateur numérique propose 3 modes différents : 1/ TENS (soulagement de la douleur) 2/ Massage et relaxation 3/ EMS (régénération musculaire et "entraînement" automatique) Personnellement, j'utilise uniquement les 2 premiers modes susmentionnés et je n'ai pas encore testé le mode EMS. Pour chacun de ces 3 modes, les programmes pré-installés sont multiples et adaptés à tous les maux et endroits du corps possibles et imaginables. Dans le manuel, ces programmes sont très clairement résumés en un tableau récapitulatif, qui est illustré par des photos montrant les endroits où placer les électrodes pour chacun des programmes. Les réglages d'intensité sont très étendus et permettent de répondre aux mieux au niveau qui est le plus confortable pour le/la patient/e. Je suis très satisfaite de l'efficacité de cet appareil. À noter que j'applique au préalable un gel spécialement conçu, aux endroits où je place les électrodes et j'ai remarqué un effet encore plus efficace. De plus, l'utilisation de ce type de gel permet de prolonger la durée de vie des électrodes. J'ai également acheté des électrodes dont les dimensions sont spécialement conçues pour les épaules. Je fais chaque soir (en regardant la télé sur mon canapé 😉) une séance pour chaque épaule, en utilisant le mode TENS et/ou Massage relaxant, le programme et l'intensité qui me conviennent à ce moment-là. La douleur disparaît ensuite au minimum pendant 5 à 6 heures, voire pendant toute la nuit (ce qui améliore la qualité de mon sommeil). Enfin, la qualité et l'efficacité de l'ingénierie allemande propres à la marque Beurer sont au rendez-vous. Bref, je recommande vivement !

Effective

Great product! I was skeptical, but it absolutely works. Be sure not to over do it, coz you will feel it the next day! :) Needs more detailed instructions for set up, especially for applying the gel pads, once it's on - it's stuck, so make sure you line it up properly first time. The gel stickiness doesn't last long, be sure to use on clean skin. Otherwise, very happy!
