Beurer EM49 PainFree Digital TENS and EMS Machine | Drug-free natural pain relief | 3-in-1 pain relief, rehabilitation and massage | 70 training programmes | 2 channels | 4 self-adhesive electrodes

Great for lower back pain, been having anl nerve impingement for a few weeks but this has helped a lot.Really easy to use and instructions are pretty clear.The display also shows which area you should attach the electrodes depending on the program, so it is not necessary to look through the manual each time.The heat mode is just a bonus!The electrode gels are a little on the pricier side but it's definitely worth it, as they stick your skin nicely and comfortably.Battery life - could probably use it for up to 1.5 hours on EMS and high heat before needing to recharge, which only takes like 15 minutes.Would definitely recommend!

Works like a treat.

I had for years the Kinetix wellbeing Tens machine which served me well until it died.I decided to google the best tens machines out there and bought the top two.1) VitalTrack2) Beurer EM49 ( I bought the EM59 because it’s the upgraded version with more pros then the EM49)VitalTrack:- Company absolute nightmare to deal with- Number of programmes are not as extensive as the beurer-Biggest gripe has to be that it’s not rechargeable and solely battery operated-Pads are not sticky and they don’t sell replacement pads or gel bits anywhere.-Returning the item within 30 days has been a nightmare and they have a 90day return policy.I’ve had to go through PayPal for them to communicate with me. Even just asking a question I got no response.Beurer EM59:-Company is okay to deal with especially as we have Amazon to help us.-The item is phenomenal for the range of programs it offers, I feel like I never got the full Tens machine offer when I had the kinetik as that was basic but served its purpose.-The heat level isn’t going to be that of a waterbottle or heat pad but it’s soothing and that’s all you need.-Pain relief after using the item is amazing.-It’s easy to use- Gripe with this product is; say I just wanted to use two pads and not four, it won’t come on.- or because the sticky pads are not sticky enough it falls off, I guess it turns off for safety reasons but it’s annoying.-Battery life isn’t amazing or extremely poor just not long enough for meNow the thing I loved about my old kinetik tens machine is that the pads were sticky to the point I only replaced them after 5 years and the sticky pads are not expensive to replace.It came with a carry case. And the battery lasted ages. Obviously it’s a very basic tens machine. But I do expect more for the more pricier ones on the market.For those wondering the difference between the EM49 and EM59EM49 is battery operated and does not offer the heat option.I think everything else is the same. So if you’re not bothered about having to use batteries and not have heat then you can save a few pennies and get the 49 model. I think the 49 model pads look much better than the 59.

I bought this to use for gynae pain as I've had good experiences with a normal tens. Its good quality. The heat is reasonable. I found it worked well. The only downside is the replacement pads are expensive. Other that that I did help with my pains.

Use this every day to try and build up muscle in my leg owing to severe arthritis. Easy to operate and like that you can do more that one body part at the same time. A large number of programs and a heat button makes it well worth the cost

This is a great little machine, I’ve only used it for tens and massage but they seem to work really well.My only negative is that mine only came with 2 small pads when there should be 4 so it had clearly been bought and returned. I paid full price for it, in good faith that it was brand new.It would be nice if Beurer could include 2 large pads aswell as the small ones. You will have to buy more pads if you want to use this on larger muscles.Overall I’m happy with it but just getting 2 small square pads included is really rather tight, considering all other machines seem to come with a large selection.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Heard it was good, thought I'd give it a try, done my shoulder and muscle the world of good.

My experience of this Beurer 'EM59 Heat' TENS/EMS device was the same as many other reviewers have also stated......FRUSTRATING!!!!THE GOOD: The unit is great. Nice size, well designed, easy & simple to use, good display.THE BAD: Whilst the length of the cable overall is OK, the length is short where they become single wires; thus making it tricky to move/apply each pad whilst others are attached. Ultimately, this puts strain on the pads & cables.THE UGLY: The damned pads! They are just awful! I used the Beurer EM59 Heat for 3 x days... then one pad stuck to my skin and came half off the pad, then one pad just seemed to partially fall off my back, and then pieces of the gel started to get stuck on my skin & clothing. I kept finding round globules of it everywhere I'd placed the pads!!Overall, very, very disappointing because the mixture of the TENS & Heat is a great combination. Beurer should be ashamed of themselves, selling a product that really isn't fit for purpose. And they don't give any extra pads in the box, and at the price I paid (well over £70) that really isn't acceptable, either.I'm returning the Beurer EM59 Heat, with many thanks to good old Amazon & the finger to Beurer.
