this is the first TENS unit I’ve seen that also incorporated heat so i was excited to try it. The unit itself is rechargeable via USB and has a wide range of programming to target different muscle groups. You can do both restorative and stimulation programs with or without heat. One note about this unit is that i found it extremely difficult to find the replacement contact pads from Beurer in the US and had to order them from Germany. There may be a substitute/generic that works but due to the heat function it wasn’t clear if i could just use another item. I’d like to see Best Buy have the replacement pads as part of carrying this device to make it easier for customers to replace theirs once they are no longer sticky.

My first experience with TENS therapy was after a work injury in 2009. I got injured at work and had bursitis in my left shoulder. A large part of my physical therapy was TENS. It was the best part of treatment. Their device had one repetitive stimulation and went to 10. I was always left wishing that it could go higher, but I always left there feeling great. The pain was gone. However, all of these years later I still occasionally have flare ups where my shoulder will start hurting again.
The Beurer 3-in-1 TENS/Heat device has 50 programs to choose from! There are 15 TENS and 35 EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) programs. TENS is used for pain and EMS is used more for muscle strengthening and relaxing. Both the TENS and EMS have three programs each that are customizable. The customization allows you to change both the impulse frequency and impulse width. I haven't used custom programs as the numerous standard programs work fine for me. The manual that comes with it goes into detail about each program and has a page with pictures to guide you in positioning the electrodes.
It comes with four gel pads for placing on the electrodes. You can order more from customer service as they will wear out eventually. However, the book says item number: 646.11. When I search that on the website I get 161 results. I finally found them and their item number is actually 64655. Just search for that and it will take you right to them. I don't see an option to buy them, so you may have to call customer service since this is a newer item.
The Beurer TENS device has a lot of intensity levels. Each channel (two electrodes) are independently controllable. This is for perfect because a lot of times I prefer one set of electrodes to be at a higher level than the other. The ability to add heat is great. It helps to relax the muscles further. The programs run for 30 minutes. You just place the electrodes where you need them, pick your program, and set your intensity levels. I will say that the Beurer has way more levels that what I used in physical therapy and it can go much higher than I am able to stand. At level 10 it is intense enough that it tightens the muscles in my shoulder and pulls my head down to the side. Based on the scale, it looks like 10 is about 1/4 of the way to max.
The size of the device is very compact and it has a belt clip so that you can use it while moving around and not have to carry it. Overall, it has been great. The only thing that I would change about it is to be able to turn off the beep when pressing buttons. After a few minutes at one intensity level I like to increase it a little. 2 presses of the up button for each channel is 4 beeps. It's annoying when you're watching TV and I hate doing it because I know it aggravates my wife. Also, it needs a case. They give you a belt clip so that you can take it on the go, but what do you do when you're not using it? You need to keep the cables from being pinched, so you shouldn't just throw it in a drawer. For now I'm just keeping it on my end table in the box that it came in. Those are my only complaints. As far as using it, it's perfect!

After going through a few rounds of physical and occupational therapy over the last two years, I have wanted to pick up a good TENS machine. Well, enter the Beurer EM 59 Digital TENS/EMS Device to my rescue. Not only does this help with pain relief, but it does so much more.
Upon opening the box, I was very impressed with how everything was packaged as well as what was included. It includes the device, 4 electrodes, a belt clip, a power cable, and a guide. After reviewing several other options, the Beurer EM 59 Digital TENS/EMS Device was a better option than most because of its portability and the fact that it was rechargeable. Too many other options were plug-in only or required actual batteries. The first thing the instructions tell you is to charge it for a minimum of 4 hours. Since then, I have gotten a full week of use with some juice left in the tank. I am thoroughly impressed.
My first voyage was working on some shoulder tension. I was able to combine the TENS option along with the heat to take care of the pain for some much needed relief. After that, I transitioned to using the TENS on some persistent elbow tendonitis. This was one of the main issues that led me to physical/occupational therapy. Yes, that was a very large, medical grade machine, but I felt the Beurer EM 59 Digital TENS/EMS Device held its own and gave me the much needed relief that I required. I was extremely happy to get that same type of comfort at home.
Later in the week, I was able to check out one of the 64 different EMS pre-programmed applications. I performed a session on my quads with #19 to tone the thigh muscles. It was an interesting feeling at first, but then the cycle started to feel more comfortable as it progressed. I look forward to instituting this more into my regiment and with other muscle groups that I am working on. This was a new experience that I didn’t know much about, but I am glad I have this to help. It’s definitely an added bonus to all of the TENS desires/needs that I have.
All in all, I think Beurer EM 59 Digital TENS/EMS Device would be a great addition to anyone looking for pain relief or an added kick to their workout regiment. The only little knock that I have is the heating element. I would like a little more heat in there, but that is also a personal preference. It’s not awful. I just prefer more. Outside of that, I love the screen and the ease of use of the device. The length of the cable to the electrodes is certainly good and I’ve already professed my pleasure with the battery life. I am glad I have one and I know others will be happy once they have it as well.

Very helpful for sore back!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was a little timid when I first tried this out, my back has hurt for over 30 years due to an injury. I still can't turn it up very high, but the TENS and even the EMS modes really relax the muscles that are tensed up from the pain.
I have tried it in several places on my back and have been impressed with the intuitive display and controls. I expected to be checking the little book every time I needed to change something, but the screen includes about all I need to know. The gel pads are the only part I am worried about. Right now, they do not have the replacements available but the original ones are doing pretty good after a half dozen uses.
I wish I could use this all day long, it really did make a big difference in my back. I may have to check on one of the smaller units that sticks on to see if I can get the same results without the long cords and large controller.
The cords and controller aren't a big deal at all when using it for its intended purpose. It allows you to place the electrodes anywhere on your body and then still be able to read the screen and make changes easily.
After the initial charge, I have used it for about 6 - 8 hours total and the battery is still showing fully charged! I really didn't expect that and it is nice to know that I can get a lot of use out of it without constantly stopping to charge it up. I have not used the heat mode except to see if works, so that will probably drain the battery faster.
Overall, I can really see the usefulness of this kind of device. My brother has been offering to loan me one of his for a long time but I didn't know how it would do. I tend to avoid anything that adds to my constant pain.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to relieve their pain without taking more drugs. It is a very nice alternative and doesn't mess with your body.

I've been experiencing back pain from sitting at my desk all day and shoulder soreness from working out. As soon as I saw this product available I just had to try it out. I've used TENS devices before at physical therapy when I tore my ACL and needed to regain muscle in my atrophied quad and this device is very similar to what physical therapists are using on their patients. I tried it on my sore shoulders and aching back one time and it made a world of difference immediately. The heat function relaxed my muscles and after 30 minutes of my selected TENS program, I was feeling GOOD! My back pain and soreness are gone in the area that I targeted. I also used the EMS feature to engage my muscles and promote growth and there is definitely a difference especially considering my muscles recover faster and I'm able to workout for longer periods of time. This device may seem complicated to use at first but with a little bit of reading I got dialed into what was needed in order for me to benefit the most out of the TENS features and the EMS features. The programs are all very detailed in the booklet it comes with and the screen is very helpful in suggesting where the electrodes should be placed for your selected program. I have everyone in my family asking to borrow this device now to alleviate their pain. This is a fantastic product and I would recommend to anyone experiencing muscle pain throughout their body! This is definitely a game changer.

I have chronic lower back pain as well as a lot of neck pain from TMJ that causes me to need pain medicine and ice packs frequently. I've wanted to try a tens unit for awhile to see if it would be beneficial for my pain.
This unit is a great option because it also includes the heating option that some other brands don't.
This unit is very easy to set up and use and has an extensive manual inside for guidance on how to use. I really like that this one is rechargeable and eliminates the need for batteries, there is also a USB-C cord included.
So far, this has been great for my lower back pain and is very convenient.

My wife suffers from chronic pain and I have lower back issues. We have use many different TENS units over the years for therapy and pain relief but this one from Beurer has to be the best one yet. First, the rechargeable battery is a welcome change from those using standard alkaline or removeable rechargeable batteries which require a separate charging solution. Just plug this guy in and the onboard charger does the rest. We have been able to get multiple sessions out of a single charge which is something none of our previous units have been able to accomplish. It has a multitude of built-in functions that are designed to give the most relief to specific target areas. While it has the ability for you to program your own routines into it, I haven't needed to do so yet as the factory settings have worked well for our needs. The heat function (which can be used in conjunction with or independently of the TENS shocks) is a welcome addition and something I haven't seen in this category previously. It is a gentle and soothing heat that really seems to amplify the pain relief capabilities. Having two different channels that can be controlled independently means you can hit two pain areas at the same time which is also a nice feature.

My wife suffers from migraines and often times, her neck and upper back will hurt at the same time. When a migraine hits, we attach this to her upper back and neck area and it helps to relieve the symptoms a bit and making the migraine more tolerable, if that is possible. The heat setting is an awesome addition and provides a bit more comfort with two settings, low or high.
There are four electrodes that you can attach to various areas of your body to help you recover more quickly either from exercise or an injury. I’ve used them on my lower back and the back of my legs after doing yard work and it has provided tremendous relief.
It has a ton of programs already setup and also allows you to customize your own depending on your needs. Changing the settings of intensity is easy as well. It’s rechargeable with a USB-C connection to a USB adapter or on your computer. Takes about 4 hours to charge completely. The only thing I’ll need to pick up are some extra gel pads as I’m sure the ones that come with the unit won’t last too long with multiple users.
The muscle and nerve stimulation isn’t something I’ve looked into in the past but I’m glad I’ve started doing it. Whether to recover from something or just aid in relaxation, I’d recommend this to anyone.

This 3-in1- TENS/ Heat Device retails around $110 usd. I've been using this device for 2 weeks now and I do have to say that this is the real deal. I have several achy muscle areas due to a couple of injuries endured during my time playing collegiate sports. This machine has given me relief that I haven't felt in years.
Out of the box you get:
-TENS/ Heat Device
-4 Electrodes
-4 reusable Gel pads
-Charging Cable
-Instruction Manual
A charger is not included so you'll have to provide one.
Some of the features that I really like are:
-Heat function
-Electrode positioning indicator
-Rechargeable battery
-Adjustable intensity
-2 heat levels: low and high
-64 pre-programmed applications
-6 customizable programs: frequency, pulse width, on/off time programmable
-Countdown timer
-Safety switch-off
-USB C charge port
I didn't experience anything bad with this device and I do recommend this if you are looking to get muscle relief.
I do recommend that you follow all the directions, positioning of the electrode pads, and safety notes mentioned in the manual. I wouldn't recommend using this on the chest because its pretty close to the heart.

With a *plethora* of modes and settings this thing is quite amazing for the package it's in. It's *very* portable and does exactly what my doctor's unit did, but without the co-pay! ;)
Things lacking:
1) The display shows only generic placement of pads which means you will *always* need the manual by your side to see exact placement for what you want to do/target.
2) The manual/materials provide no reference for where to buy more gel pads and no indication of how many uses you can expect to get out of the pads nor how to know when you need to replace the gel. I've used it a half-dozen times but have no idea when/where I'm supposed to get more of these. Additionally, there's little guidance in how to store the pads when you're done - I've been putting one of the blue covers that came on the gel between two pads and sticking them together for storage. Hope that is ok!
It's worth saying the strength of this thing is bananas. I've only gone to 11 out of what appears to be a possible max strength of 25-30 based on the indicators on-screen and, when I did, it was almost unbearable! I've also only used the EMS function, not TENS, so I can't speak to if/how effective that is.

I have used various TENS machines over the years but this one is so nice because of all the preprogrammed functions. The display lets you select the area you want to address and provides general locations to put the pads. Once on you select the intensity and if you want to have heat. It's that simple. Once the cycle it completed the unit will shut off. In my previous units it used AA batteries and this unit is rechargeable. I have been getting about three sessions with heat on each charge. It does charge pretty quick with the USB-C cable which is included. Great device to reduce or remove muscle tension.

A home therapy device to get you feeling better!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have been going to the chiropractor for a very long time, and one of the therapies that has been my favorite is the Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS). I had contemplated getting a home device for quite a while, but finally decided to get one, the Beurer Digital TENS Device w/Heat.
If comes with two sets of electrodes, connecting together to the device with a USB-C connection (which the USB-C port is also used to charge the battery). There is also the initial set of gel pads used to hold the electrodes in place. Even though it recommends to remove hair in application locations before using, we know that just won't happen in most cases. Luckily, the gel pads are sticky enough without being too sticky. When removing, it won't be like removing an adhesive bandage and basically prepping that area for the next time. And the gel pads are reusable, just not sure how may uses I will get out of them.
So far, this device has been great! I can now have longer sessions than normally provided with the chiropractor visit, as well as target different areas whenever I want, along with being able to modify the intensity whenever necessary. I like the pre-set programs and the different pulse patterns and strengths (and am actually preferring this device over the chiropractor's). For the pre-set programs, there are not any extra descriptions on what it will do (strength, pattern, etc.), just which area of the body they target, so you will need to try each to find your preference. There are 12 for TENS and 32 for EMS, with targeting arms, legs, shoulders, back, and abdomen. A chart of electrode placement is provided and corresponding number set are listed with the programs. Just place the electrodes, select the appropriate program and select the intensity levels for each channel. Along with the pre-sets, both TENS and EMS each have 3 customizable programs, where the impulse width and/or frequency along with other available settings, depending which one is selected.
It does have heat available, with Low and High settings. Even on High, I really could not feel much warmth. My wife, however, did feel it. It might have just been the location I was working with at the time.
I do believe now, of all of the home therapeutic devices we have, this is definitely my favorite!

Cons: Too many features which I will never use, and the pads do not last as long as promised. The replacement pads are very expensive and, apparently, can only be ordered through the company. My last TENS machine had pads that lasted much longer, were much less expensive, and far easier to find.
Pros: the unit does work well and I do love the heat feature.

The pads didn’t really stick well. The alternating patterns of current were a nice mix up from a simple tens. Although some of the patterns were a bit pinchy so I feel like you had to set sequence lower or get a surprise pinch. The heat was a relaxing feature but not noticeable enough to be therapeutic.
