Balego TENS 2nd Edition with Accessories, Most Powerful Unit (OTC)

I was suffering with a case of "Sciatica" nerve pain starting from my lower back and moving down my right leg. I had suffered a herniated disk years ago and the recent sciatica seemed to stem from that past herniated disk. I went to my Chiropractor who used a "Tens Unit" to help manage the pain, I thought to myself, I can do this myself and save $$$$ at the same time! So I did my research on Amazon and came across the "Tens 7000 2nd Edition" which was a God send! This small portable unit packs a punch and worked beautifully! Easy to use right out of the box, User-friendly, compact, powerful and the price was right! Comes complete with everything you need to start self-therapy, with easy-to-follow instructions on exactly where to place the electrode pads ion your body in relationship to where the pain is. Comes complete with a 9 volt battery which works great (but you may want to purchase a Duracell battery for longer life). The power that this little baby generates is worth the price alone, because you need the power to stimulate the nerves. I'm a big guy, 5'11, 240lbs (Solid), and I haven't turned the unit up past (5). Has a clear safety cap on it that covers the dials to prevent accidental voltage increase, clear LCD display to see your settings and a metal clip on the back to clip to your belt or clothes to use while your mobile. I'm an active guy, constantly on the move; and this unit definitely works for me!

I do not usually give FIVE STARS to a product easily. The Balego Tens unit is a very good unit and I have others to compare it to. I have two of the iStim A6 units and one of the Tens 7000 units which looks almost exactly like the Balego unit. Unlike the Tens 7000 the Balego has an additional mode ( comes up with PO1 on the screen ) and when in this mode you have 12 more modes which are accessed by using the arrows ( up or down ). Like the 7000 unit the Balego unit has two analog controls at the top which can vary the intensity of the two outputs. I very much like having analog controls for intensity. I used models that were completely digital and they were hard to work with and lacking in power. Both the 7000 and the Balego are great units with strong outputs but the Balego is a bit stronger in output and has 3X more useful modes. The iStem A6 unit is completely analog. The A6 has a built in Li-ion battery ( rechargeable ) The A6 not quite as powerful as the Tens 7000 but it's not bad and because it's totally analog you can dial in the outputs as exactly as you want. Both the Tens 7000 and Balego Tens require a 9 volt battery. This is an added plus! ( battery not included ) I say that because you can buy rechargeable 9V Li-ion batteries on Amazon and they are not very expensive. I bought two ot the Letoom 9 volt rechargeable models. These come with USB-C cords for charging and one battery lasts for hours. Always a good idea to have an extra when the first needs a recharge. WARNING....THESE ARE NOT TOYS. DO NOT LET CHILDREN PLAY WITH THESE AS ON IT'S MOST POWERFUL MODES / OUTPUT THESE CAN GIVE QUITE AN UNCOMFORTABLE SHOCK!. Having replaceable batteries are better than built in batteries because once they get old they will lose capacity. When that happens ( usually good for 500 recharges ) you just buy new ones. BUY THE RECHARGEABLES! Standard 9 volt batteries can only be used until they finally die and will cost much more money in the long run. Summing up, Buy a Belego Tens unit and some extra pads ( I use the 1" round type but some might like the larger square pads better.} and order some rechargeable Li-ion 9 volt batteries The units come with the the square pads. Parting comments, An advantage of he rechargeable Li-ion 9 volts batteries is that they contain a circuit inside the battery that will regulate the voltage at 9 volts unit until the energy runs out. This means you get maximum output until the power runs out. Pop a new battery in and in seconds you are ready to go. Recharging usually only takes about an hour unless you ran it till fully discharged. Hope you find my review useful. ( all the units I own I bought with my own money )

I bought this almost a year ago and love it. I cannot speak to all of the modes available with this unit as I only use the modulation mode to help with sore muscles. I have been in physical therapy several times for back, shoulder and knee problems, and find this TENS unit to work as well as the ones the therapists used except that it cannot be set to change from one mode to another automatically in the same session. That has to be done manually, if desired. It does have a timer that is easy to set and works well. I have only used one of the two available ports and cannot speak to how they work if both are used. However, on the one I use, the electrical pulse adjustment dial turns easily and the increase in the strength of the pulses is smooth. It is easy on batteries. I do not buy their replacement electrodes as Amazon has some that are less expensive and work just as well. I would readily recommend the TENS 7000.

I got my first Tens about 16 years ago. The same one is still functioning but I wanted a second for work so I could leave one at home. I got tired of forgetting it one place or the other. So I did a little research and settled on this unit. I'm very please with it. Not only is it powerful, but it has nice settings that allow me to customize the flow of electricity. The unit itself is solid and well built. The belt clip is metal. My old one is just plastic. The case is pretty much exactly like my old one, which is durable (obviously if my old one is 16 years old).The pads are standard and will need replaced after several uses. That's to be expected with all units. I mention this so you will be sure to buy some extra pads right off rather than wait. It's annoying to be without. What it comes with sticks well and should last a while depending on your use. If you move them around like I do they don't last nearly as long.My only complaint is that there is a little plastic cover over the knobs. For some this might be a nice tough that keeps the knobs from accidentally getting moved. For me it's a slight bother since I move them frequently. If you don't touch them often, then you really won't care. So my only complaint isn't really a complaint, just a personal preference.

Most agree, a TENS device does not cure muscle discomfort but can certainly provide temporary relief. This TENS unit did just that. Offers several modes of operation (e.g., intermittent, constant, etc.) and a range of strength of stimulus. Most certainly, the unit has been reliable.
