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

I've had this TENS unit for nearly a year now and it is a life saver! I mostly use it for period pain but I've used it for lower back and knee pain too and while it doesn't completely stop the pain it helps alot! I injured my back a few weeks ago and was almost unable to walk without this. It's easy to use, albeit there's so many programs that it's hard to remember which is which unless you use the manual, but the diagram on the screen of which body part each program is for is helpful. I really like the heat function, I feel it isn't as effective without it so I'd definitely spend the extra money for this version. The battery life is good although it does need recharging after 4-5 uses depending on which program you're using, so bear that in mind if you have chronic pain, but it charges fairly quickly so I wouldn't say it's too much of a problem. It's also usable on the go and you can wear it under your clothes and attach the controller part to a waist band or belt, but it is visible and the wires can get in the way a bit. Would recommend!

Excellent piece of equipment. Has helped with a knee and a shoulder injury I’ve had.

Does the job. I've used this 6 times on my ankle for a ligament injury and seems to be helping with the swelling and the pain. Has lots of functions which is great. The gel pads are past half their life after 6 uses and I doubt it will last for 20 as described and they're not cheap to replace. But if it works, it's cheaper than paying a clinic to have this done. The heat function is also great. Happy I went for the more expensive model for this. One complaint is that sometimes the pulses cut off even though the device is still showing as working. Seems to happen if my EMS ended and I want to start a Massage. unplugging and re-plugging the pads seems to do the trick but if it continues to do this might have to warranty it.

Excellent device. Works really well easing pain.

Very good value compared to others on the market. Huge range of options for TENS and EMS which is what attracted me to this one. Easy to use and simple guidance in the book. Advanced options seem very complex but I haven't needed these. Belt clip is a bit of a waste of time as the cables are quite long and need to be bundled up in a pocket or lie beside you. I ended up wrapping them with an elastic band. Sticky pads are a consumable and need to be kept clean. If they get dusty they soon lose their sticky. Get them stuck together and you'll struggle to separate them! Regardless, pads will only last a while before the won't stick so bear this in mind - you need a supply if this is a regular use for you. I've been using it 2/3 times a week and the pads have lasted about 3 months. Can get replacements elsewhere on Amazon at very reasonable prices. Battery life seems very good - still on the originals 3 months in. If you need or are considering a TENS / EMS machine, this is an excellent option.

This is a good product that works very well - plenty of different options of programs and the wires and pads are robust. However, the device connection to the wires is oddly stiff AND comes loose easily. This means you can't use it attached to a belt because it comes loose and the device stops working. Restarting it means going through the steps of programming it again and when you do, it beeps every time you press a button so that gets old quickly.

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.

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!

Acho que acaba por ser uma excelente escolha quando se pretende uma boa razão qualidade/preço. O aparelho é intuitivo e fácil de usar, sendo ótimo para recuperar de lesões. Acabei por ficar tão satisfeita que entretanto comprei um segundo exemplar para oferecer a um atleta.

Classy standard product. Worth money.

J'ai acheté cet appareil Beurer Medical EM49 car je souffre d'arthrose très sévère aux deux épaules, ainsi que d'une capsulite (inflammation) chronique à l'épaule gauche. À certains moments, la douleur est insupportable. Lors de la première utilisation, la sensation des impulsions électriques m'a un peu surprise. Cependant, dès la seconde utilisation, mon corps s'y était déjà habitué. La prise en main de l'appareil est relativement facile, à condition de prendre la peine de lire consciencieusement au préalable le manuel d'utilisation (étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un APPAREIL MÉDICAL, il est particulièrement important de le faire !). Ce manuel est écrit en 8 langues (rien que ça...!) : français, anglais, allemand, espagnol, italien, russe, polonais et turc. Cet électrostimulateur numérique propose 3 modes différents : 1/ TENS (soulagement de la douleur) 2/ Massage et relaxation 3/ EMS (régénération musculaire et "entraînement" automatique) Personnellement, j'utilise uniquement les 2 premiers modes susmentionnés et je n'ai pas encore testé le mode EMS. Pour chacun de ces 3 modes, les programmes pré-installés sont multiples et adaptés à tous les maux et endroits du corps possibles et imaginables. Dans le manuel, ces programmes sont très clairement résumés en un tableau récapitulatif, qui est illustré par des photos montrant les endroits où placer les électrodes pour chacun des programmes. Les réglages d'intensité sont très étendus et permettent de répondre aux mieux au niveau qui est le plus confortable pour le/la patient/e. Je suis très satisfaite de l'efficacité de cet appareil. À noter que j'applique au préalable un gel spécialement conçu, aux endroits où je place les électrodes et j'ai remarqué un effet encore plus efficace. De plus, l'utilisation de ce type de gel permet de prolonger la durée de vie des électrodes. J'ai également acheté des électrodes dont les dimensions sont spécialement conçues pour les épaules. Je fais chaque soir (en regardant la télé sur mon canapé 😉) une séance pour chaque épaule, en utilisant le mode TENS et/ou Massage relaxant, le programme et l'intensité qui me conviennent à ce moment-là. La douleur disparaît ensuite au minimum pendant 5 à 6 heures, voire pendant toute la nuit (ce qui améliore la qualité de mon sommeil). Enfin, la qualité et l'efficacité de l'ingénierie allemande propres à la marque Beurer sont au rendez-vous. Bref, je recommande vivement !

Effective

Great product! I was skeptical, but it absolutely works. Be sure not to over do it, coz you will feel it the next day! :) Needs more detailed instructions for set up, especially for applying the gel pads, once it's on - it's stuck, so make sure you line it up properly first time. The gel stickiness doesn't last long, be sure to use on clean skin. Otherwise, very happy!
