Review: The Polar Active Ice System is the only way to go! I ordered this system because I was going to have a Hip Replacement surgery. The Doctor recommended an ice therapy system that was going to cost $200/wk to rent. Knowing I also need the other hip replaced, sometime in the future, I opted to purchase the Polar Active Ice System. It was a no brainer. To save money, I originally purchased another brand that was half the cost. It was a flexible cooler bag with the power cord and the cooling tubes running out through a zippered top. So if the bag was to tip over, the water would be all over the place. It was not a closed system with the connections on the outside of a hard plastic cooler like Polar Active Ice. The Polar Active System was a life saver. I filled the cooler with water and frozen water bottles instead of ice cubes. It stayed cold for hours before the frozen bottles had to be changed. The system has a convenient hand held timer which could be set for so many minutes on and so many minutes off. I used 40 min on, 10 min off. You can adjust the timer in 10 min increments or you can have it run all the time and shut it off when needed. It also has coldness settings 1 through 4. So if it is too cold, you can adjust the water flow to a lower setting. You have multiple options of pads for different parts of your body. I got the rectangular pad that covered my hip and thigh with 2 compression belts to hold the cooling pad tight to my body. Worked like a charm and made me very comfortable. Another nice feature is that the different pads available are plug and play. So if you need one pad for your hip and next time you need a different one for your knee, just order it. No need to buy the whole system, just the pad you need. Customer service is second to none. Because of the timing of my surgery , I had to order a system that was lacking one of the compression belts. I explained the situation to customer service and the same day they sent me the compression belt I needed, at no charge. Do yourself a favor and buy the Polar Active Ice Therapy System. You will be glad you did.
Review: I bought this therapy machine 3 years ago and have used it every night all night long. It, by far has been the most reliable and most effective device I have owned. The pads fill up nicely with a great amount of water and provides satisfying relief. Being able to use water bottles and not just ice has helped the water stay cold all night. The insulation is great for keeping the water cold. In the mornings, there will often be ice still in the water bottles and ice floating in the water even though I never put ice in the water. I remove the water daily and put it in the fridge to keep it cold. I let the cooler dry out during the day and the pad hangs up so the water can drain out of it throughout the day. I will use vinegar or bleach to keep it from smelling or getting mold which I haven’t had a problem with. The case is hard so it is bulky to travel with. The hose has needed new couplings from time to time so it has gotten a little shorter. We remove the couplings when the pad starts to not circulate the water all the way through which means there is debris in the couplings and they need flushed out. It’s an excellent machine and the company is top notch with their costumer service.

If you're going to buy one thing for post-op care (for me, hip replacement) this is it! Being able to wrap my hip/thigh and keep it chilled ...and with a timer to turn it on and off at regular intervals, is what got me through the first (many) weeks, waking and sleeping. HIGHLY recommended.
