Cold Therapy System, Programable Ice Therapy Machine, Post-Surgery Continuous Cryotherapy Cold Pack, Universal Pad for Knee, Ankle, Cervical, Back and Leg

This is easy to use and works great. My wife just had a knee replacement and this product has been working fine keeping her knee cool. It gets nice and cold and has settings to adjust how long to get cold then how long of a delay till the next time to get cold. Example: stay on 40 minutes then off for 20 then it repeats the settings. We purchased a set of 60 plastic re-freezable ice cubes. We rotate 30 in the freezer and 30 in the unit. They stay cold a long time although I haven't timed it I'd guess 8 hours+. Then we scoop out the plastic cubes in to a plastic dish, dump the water that was added per instructions. Dump the frozen 30 cubes in and put the other 30 in the freezer. Then fill water to the recommended line. replace the lid and start the unit. Redo the schedule as needed (I do since I unplug the cord from the lid). This is how we do it but maybe you will do it a way that's easier for you but the unit works perfectly. Some reviews mention the hoses leaking. TIP: at the connectors the 2 hoses are separate and that allows 1 hose at a time to be connected. Working with both at the same time is too hard. Press the silver clip down and push the connectors together. the metal clip should be nearly back to where it was before pressing it. (not stuck in) It doesn't have a problem sticking but I check it anyway. THEN do the same for the 2nd hose. They also send spare "O" Rings for future use if the seals on the hose become worn or damaged. Like I said... It all works very well.

I got this because my wife just had recent knee replacement surgery and I will probably need it in the future? I had my right knee done years ago and I wish I had this product then. I found it best to freeze a bunch of smaller Coke or Pepsi bottles and use those in lieu of ice. It will maintain a perfect temperature for 4 to 5 hours instead of constantly changing ice packs. It can be used on numerous parts of your body not just knees. If you’re having any kind of surgery or you just need to apply ice to various parts of your body, I highly recommend this product.

AWESOME! Much more affordable than the name brand machine my doctor wanted to sell me. I love that you can program it. It’s very easy to use! I bought the shoulder attachment and was glad I did! I’m sure I will be lending this machine out to friends!

Update, vendor was very quick at responding and provided resolution. Very good customers service. Improved rating is for customer service response.Worked great for 30 days but today stopped working. I bought another pad to use with it now the whole thing is useless. No way I can see to contact the seller. So I am leaving this review. I needed this because I had a total knee replacement. Now I have to use ice packs that don't last throughout the night. Very unhappy. Total waste of money.

The media could not be loaded. After hearing many people who own similar units and had great experience, I decided to invest in one too.Too late. By the time the product arrived, it was my 3rd week of injury. I was prescribed a lot of pain meds to cope with the swelling of my foot in first 2 weeks. I had a talus bone fracture.If you are considering this unit for a hurt ankle/ foot, it’ll be most helpful initial 2 weeks of your injury, and then you’ll need less and less as the swelling goes down.Had I had this unit earlier, I believe I might have rely less on oral meds and kept the swelling (very painful) to a minimum.For the unit itself, I found it the BEST one of the 3 I’ve researched. A friend loaned me their Breg polar care cube unit that their doctor “gave them” (their insurance covered the cost, how nice right?). I thought since it’s “hospital grade”, theirs must be superior?No, this Nehoo is way more user friendly; it fits 2 yogurt/ ice cream tub size ice blocks (reducing you having to make buckets of ice daily). The cover slides in and out easily, unlike my friend’s Breg, which is a battle to completely put it on with the handle “catches”.I like the fact that it has control on the interface, allowing different options eg 30 min cycle time. This would be very useful if you had make surgery and bedridden for a long time and wants the ice machine to run continuously without having to get up and reset the system. That way you don’t even need someone to help you.It’s also bigger than the Breg which keeps the ice and ice water cold longer - bigger container means it holds more ice and less need to replenish cold water/ice if you need to use it all day.For reference, I used it 2-3x a day but had I gotten it first couple weeks of my injury, I would have been on it probably twice as much and twice as long because my foot swell up 4x bigger after the accident. The swelling was so painful that I ended up doing foot ice baths. That was instant relief but messy and I needed my spouse to help me set up the ice bucket etc This would have been a game changer.As I entered my 4th-5th week of injury, my back actually needs icing more than my foot because I started to learn to walk and one side of my back is compensating so much since I couldn’t completely bear weight on the bad foot. That causes a lot of constant back pain all day long. Chiropractor/ physio therapy etc only temporarily relief. This ice machine is used in between visits.I also like the soft grey nicer color than the Breg blue. The only thing it is inferior is that it’s pretty loud. I don’t know that until I tried the Brege and the latter was noticeably quieter.The price is also midway. Not the costliest on Amazon. I found a similar unit on temu for a lot less, about $80 but it took forever to arrive so like I said timing is important when you are using these recovery tools. Also the Temu one has a collapsible bucket and the bucket is smaller than the Breg, so my guess is it probably will not be able to keep the ice and water as cold and long as these two above mentioned. The Temu is however, a great option for those who have a tighter budget. Other than the bucket, the pad and cord all seems to be compatible.Make sure you Google and watch a video on how to empty the water inside the pad when you are ready to store it.I highly recommend it for anyone with shoulder, knee, foot injuries. Because my friends who recommended this unit to me had such injuries and all had positive experiences.See side by side video comparison with the Breg unit.Hope this review helps those on the fans decide!
