Beurer Knee and Elbow Tens Therapy EM29

Could've been soooo much better – As someone who doesn't have the greatest of knees due to years and years of football, cricket and being a painter I was looking for something to ease the pain and hopefully increase the range of movement of it as well. I looked for this device for a while and ended up having to wait a few months for it to come into stock before I finally got it. Unfortunately it is not a simple plug and play device as it is battery operated whereas another tens machine I purchased is rechargeable and this one actually requires you to wet the device and your leg/elbow before using it. And trust me, if you don't get the moisture content right it will definitely let you know. If you don't put enough moisture on it actually feels like it burns and depending on which of the 4 programs you use it can startle you as it will feel okay, then suddenly it kicks up a gear and you will certainly know about it. Another factor is that the pulse points are in a fixed position and there doesn't seem to be enough power to get to the areas on the sides of the knees where I tend to need to pulse. I haven't tried the Beurer Knee & Elbow Tens Therapy cuff on the elbow as I don't have an issue there (yet) so I can't comment on it's effectiveness in that area. Is the $99 worth it, well I have to say no especially after having to wait for it to come into stock and being under the impression that it would be better than the Tens machine that I had bought whilst waiting. Can it improve, definitely. Firstly, it should be a rechargeable device, the pads on it could be positioned better or be able to be moved (or actually have 3 or 4 on each row). I did give it 3 stars as it does an okay job and isn't bad but it could've been so much better.
