Edge 2.0 Muscle Stimulator with TENS

I was intrigued about ems for awhile, but I could never justify the cost. Fast forward to an injury that required surgery, and I was looking for ways to regain strength faster once I get to a point in my rehab program that allows it, so I finally bit the bullet and got one. I haven't been using it for rehab, but rather testing it on my thighs just to see what the fuss is about, and whether I might want to use it on my weaker muscles once they heal. Having used it, I think it's a worthwhile addition. Here's my take on each of the three included modes: active recovery- relatively pleasant, just kind of shakes the muscles and gets the blood flowing, seems to relieve tension in the muscle. I could see this being a godsend after leg-day or long runs. If you've ever had legs so sore it hurt to climb stairs following heavy physical exertion, you might really like this. You can easily do this while reading or watching TV. endurance- It contracts the muscles in close succession. You'll feel the tension, but even on high settings I found it tolerable, it just sort of tires the muscle out over time. This might be great after doing an endurance workout to stress the muscles once they're already tired. Like a stationary bike or treadmill, you can watch TV while doing it. Strength- I was skeptical that the machine could target different types of muscle fibers, but this setting made me a believer. Definitely the hardest to tolerate, it contracts your muscles very hard , with a rest between each contraction cycle. I can see this being useful, particularly to get more out of isolation work with lower amounts of weight. This setting is strong enough that I found it distracting while trying to watch a show while running it, so don't expect to get massive muscles while filing your tax return. So, this thing is not going to replace any form of exercise per se, but it is far fro m the quackery I thought it might be when I first considered the concept. It does what it claims, and has a variety of uses for active people & athletes.

I absolutely cannot give enough praise to Compex and the design of this. It has done wonders for me as an athlete. I have been dealing with sharp pain in my knees and once I used this on my quads to reset my neurological system my knee issues are practically non existent. On top of this I was using it to see if it would help with muscle building and I know for a fact this product has made it incredibly easier. I could rave on and on about this but I will simply end here with this and say its beyond worth its weight in gold. Now one minor issue, I would highly suggest purchasing more electrodes as within about a month I ripped one of them and you have exactly minimum amount to achieve certain tasks. This is literally the only issue I have with this, period. And it does not phase me the slightest.

Just got my Compex Edge, unpacked it, and found the supporting documentation to be over the top, excellent in helping me set it up and get going. CD for manual contained 3 Pdf docs on quick start, setting electrodes and the comprehensive manual. The packaging was colorful and also over the top. Compex looks to be a very competent company with well developed products. Will start using it today. A couple of negatives. As a first time user with EMS units, I researched the market but even then really didn't know what capabilities to look for. There are only 3 programs with the Edge and I may actually need a few more. I am a 100% disabled Vet and am using an EMS system to rebuild my damaged muscles. I probably should have spent the extra bucks and bought the Compex Sports Elite model instead but was trying to save a few bucks and not buy the bells and whistles I don't need. Now it looks like I need some of the bells and whistles. Will see. If this gives me the results I need to help rebuild then I'll spend the extra later and get the more capable model and take the rehab process further. Also I can't find a Hard Travel Case to efficiently organize and protect my unit. It comes with a flimsy cloth draw string black bag which offers no protect at all. Considering the significant cost of even a basic unit, it would really be helpful if Compex would offer a hard case at least as an accessory. Overall am very pleased with my purchase and hopeful it will deliver what I need it to do in increasing muscle tone and some stamina....

This is hands down the best bang for the buck tens/end unit out there today. It has all the power and features you will need and is super easy to use and works like a champ. I use it for warm up and recovering from training sessions. Also great to relieve pain from injuries and great to use intra workout for additional resistance. If you are thinking about buying do it. You won’t be disappointed!

Got this for my Husband as a gift and we've used it several times. We got this model because we were looking for recovery options. Does everything as promised, feels great, and is a nice package to get started with everything you need. Our first one we received was defective (didn't do anything after start up) and Compex wanted us to send it in for them to evaluate it before they'd replace it. We were frustrated with that process, period. Luckily Amazon's return process is amazing and they immediately sent us a new one that worked fantastically. This is a great device and this is exactly why we like to shop via Amazon!

One of the leads has never worked. I should have invested in a wireless device so you can move around. Overall it is helpful but you are limited on having to not tangle up all the leads.

I purchased this because a colleague of mine has one and let me borrow it when I was developing a migraine from severe tension in my neck. I only use it to combat my muscles knotting up- which gives me horrible headaches. For that, it is 100% worth the buy. I use it on my upper back and neck and it does wonders. It is easy to use and I love it. My colleague is into crossfit and uses it after workouts. He thinks it is amazing as well. Well worth the purchase.
