Honest & Unpaid Review!
I’ve never used a TENS machine before but found this specific unit very easy to understand & use. The manual was direct and to the point. It was also written in understandable English. The paperwork includes an offer for 20 free pads for a review but is not going to factor in mine nor does it state a positive review is needed. There is also an 18-month warranty that must be registered within 14 days of purchase so make sure to get it done. I registered mine and customer service responded within 30 minutes. It was quick & easy. Make sure to include your Amazon order # in your email. To use, all you have to do is plug the unit in, attach pads to wires then body and turn it on. Very much plug n play and easy for 1st time users. The unit arrived w a charge of 2 out of 3 bars which made ensuring its workability immediate. The included bag fits all the pads, wires, unit, etc w a little bit of room to spare extras if needed. Switching through the modes is done by pushing M. You do have to cycle through each mode one by one, and increase the strength after every individual mode to find the one that suits you best. There’s no way to keep the intensity the same while choosing a mode. It automatically reverts to the lowest after each time you press the M button. I don’t find this to be a hassle but some may find the extra step annoying. The unit itself is light yet seems durable enough for the price (this isn’t Apple, folks) and way smaller than a cell phone. More like an iPod. It came nicely packaged in a wrapped box w every piece in its own package and w removable thin plastic screen/button covers. I am positive this unit was new & unused when I got it which makes me feel good knowing the seller isn’t trying to sell used products like some others on Amazon. It’s very easy to wear and fits w room in my legging pockets. The wiring leaves for plenty of length to apply the pads anywhere on your body. A blue Velcro strap is attached to each wire so that it’s easy to wrap it if you don’t want it bunched up in a mess in your pocket, or hanging down too low. The wires WILL reach to different parts of your body and can be pulled apart for further placement. I can’t comment as to how long they will last because this is my 1st use but they did attach w no issues and haven’t come off after leaving them on and running errands for 4 hours. A piece of hard plastic is included to attach the pads after use to conserve their stickiness. I’ve used this 4x for the full (default set) 20 minutes (it goes up to 60 minutes then turns off) and I still have the 2 full bars of power it came charged. This means I’ve gotten at least 80 minutes (and currently on my 5th cycle but changed to 60 minutes) )from 2/3 charge which seems sufficient to me. The charging time is only 40 minutes w the included usb cable which is amazingly fast for the output. I like that it can be charged using USB which gives many options. I haven’t used more than 2 pads at higher than 3-5, and that seems plenty for my back pain. To adjust the time, cycle through the options using the T button. I’m using this for all the symptoms of endometriosis and wasn’t sold on the higher prices of the specially made for endo units. I’m thrilled w my purchase of the HODAY TENS unit and have already recommended it to family members. You cannot beat the price especially w the discount that they have at the moment and the fact it comes w a warranty. $25 for what you know will be at least 18 months less pain is a no brainer to me! I can’t guarantee this unit will work for everyone but it’s 100% working to decrease my pain and worth a shot!As far as cons, having to increase the intensity level after each push of the mode button would be the only one. Like I said, it’s not that big off a deal and literally takes less than 5 seconds to cycle through all 24 modes. The buttons respond well and you don’t have to keep trying to push them for a response. But if you keep missing the mode you want, you may get frustrated cycling back through but it’s a little price to pay for a great priced and reliable TENS unit. Others may look nicer or come w more features but I know this one does what it says it should do and without much effort or learning intricate directions.***I will update this review in 30 days or before if I have any issues w my unit, and will share the details of the “free gift” after I receive it. I’ll also update w images after I finally have to take it off and recharge the unit for the 1st time.Update 18 hours later 4/24: So I used this at least 4 more times throughout the night for an average of 30 min each session. I’ve had no issues and even slept w it w no uncomfortableness. I wound the cord and used the provided Velcro to keep it at the perfect length so it could fit in my pocket w out getting caught on anything. Most impressive, it still has 2 out of 3 bars!?!? Does this thing last!!! I’ve used twice today and in addition to yesterday’s use, I’ve gotten at least a dozen sessions of varying time (no less than 20 min but the majority were 30 min) w out losing even 1 bar! This is great for travel and to use throughout the day while at work! Will continue to update.

Far better than I expected and definitely worth it!
What a fantastic product! Both my husband and I have had back problems since our early 20’s and have been using the drugstore version of this (and having to buy batteries like crazy), so we thought we would give this a try… So glad we did! For one, but this has so much more to it as far as the stimulation is concerned, secondly there are far more options to the type/pattern of stims.....and finally no more batteries!! Highly recommend for an at home product 👍🙂

Easy to use and feels amazing!
The media could not be loaded. I love that this unit is excellent for various muscle issues. There are 24 different modes to choose from that will target the area that you want. I workout about 5-6 times a week and my muscles can get pretty sore. I have also used it for foot pain and a stiff neck from sleeping wrong.I used to go to a chiropractor faithfully a couple of times a week and the TENS unit used in the office is literally no different that this unit that you can use in your own home.The packaging is neat and also comes with instructions, a warranty, storage bag and customer support. I highly recommend this product.

Very Satisfied
I bought this unit because it has a rechargeable battery and because it had the most positive reviews. I also have one that is not rechargeable and it goes through AAA batteries like crazy.I've had lower back pain for some time, and just started trying the TENS unit to see if it would help. My pain seems to be much better since I started using the TENS. I really like the Hoday TENS for several reasons:1. It;s very small but seems much more powerful than my non-rechargeable unit.2. The battery life is very good. After several uses it still has 2 out of 3 bars.3. It came with as assortment of pads as well as several different connector wires.4. It has 24 different modes for various parts of the body.The only addition I would suggest is that it remember the last mode you were in. I tend to use the first mode, so it's not and issue for me, but if you use one of the higher modes, scrolling through all the modes could get a bit tedious. However, that's a minor issue. For me, giving this a 5 star rating waas very easy.

Good things come in small packages!
Following recent knee replacement surgery my physical therapist recommended that I look into a TENS unit for temporary pain relief. After looking at different options I decided to try this one based on functions and reviews and so far I am very happy with it. It is very tiny which makes it convenient to put in my pocket so I can move around while using it. It is simple to operate. Reminds me of a massage chair in a nail salon with the different settings it offers. I have reused the pads several times and they still seem very sticky and the charge appears to last a long time. Of course the pain relief is only temporary while using the unit but especially combined with an ice pack it certainly helps. Overall I am pleased with this purchase.

Free from dangerous drugs with this!!
I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and the pain was beyond belief and none of the drugs the urologists gave me worked or had severe side effects I could not tolerate. I begged them for alternatives, ideas, anything...but three different doctors told me there was nothing else. I remembered this tens unit I had gotten for my husband, which he hadn't used, and got it out. I would have tried anything, my life was unbearable, and it worked!! I could not believe it was actually working, I was stunned when we found that people with my condition have found relief with this, not a single person in urology suggested it. Why? Because they have to prescribe dangerous drugs? I hope others find out that they can have a life again with this unit....I can again, without pain...I can have hope again....
