Well it’s a good machine. Great for strength and recovery. You might want to get newer EMS pads for it however. The ones that came with mine were the old style (like in CFTS) where you use velcro straps and electrode gel to fasten the electrodes (vs the sticky pads that are usually used today) which can be a bit of a bother.
Anyway, it’s a good unit and easier to customize on the fly vs the ones with a digital screen and buttons. The only real downside is that it has to plug into the wall which is a bit of an inconvenience compared to the portable models I have (Compex Sport, EMS7500).
You want a unit with 4 channels (8 pads) as it takes long enough to do multiple muscle groups as it is.
I’m not a huge fan of the Compex/Globus units because though they are portable, they only let you use predefined modes…well the Globus Plus gets around that but it’s $1100.
Thanks man I appreciate it.
I don’t like those sticky pads anyway because I’m really hairy! They never stick properly for me.
Sounds like an ideal unit.
