They all basicaly do the same thing and one machine just does the same as the next,, it's not that one works better than the other.

Most of them are two channel with two pads on each channel so you can treat two places at one time. A four channel will cover 4 places. My own is a two channel one out of boots I have had it for about 16 years.

I just wouldn't go paying a fortune,, they really are basicly the same, but marketing is an amazing thing!

Best Wishes, Ray

Mine isn't,t branded but very good had it years and easy to buy replacement pads on eBay its the most popular and is shaped for easy holding,,many settings so you find insights suits you..all under £10

I've got a Lloyd's 2 channel one and an unbranded Chinese jobby off ebay.

They both work the same but the lloyds feels better quality buildwise and the pad connectors are more "universal" and are compatible with the big butterfly pads (again off ebay) which I find much better than the little ones supplied.

Hi I got a wireless tens machine of Amazon a few months ago and use it regularly it charges up the same way a phone does very discreet powerful little item . Mine was £29.99 but they range from £10 up.

I agree with all the above comments. They all do then same job. Just have a look around and see what kind of design and size best fits you.

I got a 2 channel one from Lloyds pharmacy, I bought a wired one as for some reason the wireless one wasn't as effective. Seem to remember it was only about £20.
