Love Tide Pods

I've loved these since I started using them years ago. So much simpler to use, less mess, and less chance of wasting product than from a pour-bottle. I have only ever needed 1 pod per load, even large loads, and never had an issue with items not being clean (but I have a standard washing machine, not one that has a super-massive basin). Additionally, I have never had them stain clothing or not dissolve properly. I toss them in before the machine is loaded with clothing or water. A bit pricier than a bottle of detergent, but they're even more worth it when you can get them on a deal!

Less product for the same price

This is my first time using Tide pods. They work for me. I like being able to grab a pod toss it in with no mess and no cleanup. Perfect for my 11 year old son as he learns to do laundry. it smells great. this container is large but narrow and well made so it fits in a corner very well. It for some reason the pods get stuck, toss a little cornstarch in the container and give it a shake. That will loosen them up. I always put these in as soon as I start the water to give them time to dissolve. I use two if I have a really large load. I have not had any issues with the pods not dissolving all the way or staining my clothes. I have this on subscribe and save so Its safe to say I will be using these for the long term!

Love Tide Pods

For almost 20 years my wife and I bough the other guys because Tide, well, Tide is frickin expensive. But when I sat down and did the math on what we were spedning on detergent, how much we had to use to get our stuff clean, and the difference in cleanliness and smell, it turns out we were actually spending more on the other stuff. The pods make it impossible to over use, and because it is Tide the recomended usage is all that is needed. No extras because you know your brand just may not make it this load. All told, we buy Tide less often, and are much happier with the result. I usually say just buy it when I like something, and I would like to here, but Tide is frickin expensive. If you are frugal with the other brands, you can spend much less on doing laundry. Me, I buy it.

I like being able to grab a pod toss it in ...

I use depending on the size of the load. 1 to 3 pods and the was is amazing. Sometimes I ad color safe bleach with a pod. Sometimes a cup of ammonia the plain kind with a pod or 2 , seriously gets gunk out of clothes and if they stink takes it out.. my son plays football.i wash his uniforms in ammonia and 2 tide pods and it comes out white and nice. Less fuss on my part. I have been on auto ship for 7 months now snd have NEVER gotten a bad batch.or any broken. One time I stuck my wet hand in the container to do laundry. I learned my lesson on that one. It made 6 stuck together. But in all honesty it was my fault. Legit this stuff is the best. Click like on my review to let people know some secrets to great fresh laundry.

Nothing really gets it done better than Tide.

I love these, they clean really well and are decently priced. I also really love the smell. People have complained that they stain or don't dissolve, but I've only ever had that happen about 3 times. If you let the washer fill and the pod break (top loading machines) or just use luke warm water, they dissolve just fine. The Gain Flings are the ones I always have trouble getting to dissolve. I only use 1 pod per load, unless its a heavy load. So it saves measuring out liquid or wasting detergent. I've washed those machine washable shoes with one of these and it got them very clean. Highly recommend for the amount of pods you get and the price point. I've ordered them twice, and unlike another reviewer, have not noticed any noticable size difference or quality in getting clothes clean.

If you have pain anywhere, you have to try this. I have purchased over a dozen of these.

I have purchased over a dozen of these. I have had a herniated disk and sciatica pain for 30+ years. A long time ago I purchased one of these from my doctor for $260. This same exact unit. Now I have 3 at home and everyone I know has one I have bought for them. This is the same exact unit my doctor sold me so you know it is good. I have bought some little off brand white ones that did not work as well. This is the one. order some extra replacement pads and batteries and you are set. You can use it anywhere you have pain, neck, shoulder, knee, lower back. Look online for instructions on where to place the pads for whatever hurts. This is a nerve blocker. You get temporary pain relief with no drugs. You have to try this. You can clip it on your waistband and wear it everywhere, except the airport. I tried that and had a note from the doctor but I still got a complete and thorough pat down and almost missed my plane. Stick it in your check in luggage without the batteries if you have to travel with it.

This is NOT A TOY! I get treated by my chiropractor every month with a professional TENS unit for Sciatic Nerve pain. This does almost as good as his Professional Equipment. It is by no means a professional device, but it is as close as you can get without a license. Worth the money and use it properly. I can not turn it all the way up during a 15 minute treatment, it is too powerful. The stimulation is great and this is the way to go.

NOT a TOY!

Since trying a few different brands, I'm impressed and love this TENS unit! The unit's options are more than I expected -different massaging modes, rate of massage, and time between the next set of stimulation. My favorite is the timer option because I usually fall asleep without pain keeping me awake. The clip is very sturdy. The intensity dials have a plastic cover -no more accidental intense stimulations! The unit's options also have a cover that protects it well. The cables are sturdy and the price is truly unbeatable with the quality of the product. The only drawback are the flimsy pads. I know many people love the pads; however after receiving my unit on Sunday, the pads failed to adhere to my skin on Monday. On Wednesday one of the pad's conductive gel peeled off the pad. I kept the pads on the clear plastic base whenever not using the unit, and I used a conductive, TENS-specific gel. You can see the one peeling pad and the adhesiveness of the other pads within the pictures posted. In 2 pictures, you can see green-colored tape on my skin next to the pad. I used a plastic packet to lightly touch the tape's edge, showing the Scotch tape holds well on my skin. I then used my plastic packet to lightly touch the pad's edge, showing the loss of adhesiveness. I love my TENS unit despite the pads and am happy I chose this one. The price and additional features are worth it! Since I would need new pads down the road anyway, it's not a big deal! If you decide to purchase this unit, I think you'll love the results!

The absolute best value and option for a general use TENS

A TENS 7000 unit was recommended by my wife's physical therapist following total knee replacement. Actually, he wanted to sell her one at a hefty markup. I had an older unit (out of stock, don't know when/if it will be available) to use pending delivery of her TENS 7000. Ordered Friday, Jan 04, delivered Monday, Jan 07! Pros: Doesn't timeout after 15 minutes like my old unit. Nice case Cons: Included battery is low capacity. See jpg. 25% less mass means 25% less "active ingredients. "

ByEdward A. Milliron

Very nice unit, buy additional pads

Hacked it to make it 12V. Love this 9V TENS unit. It's a lot stronger than other units I've tried. But i was running into the issue of the strength not being srtong enough after a few uses. I was having to keep getting new 9V batteries even though the battery itself was almost new. Essentially, i wanted the TENS unit to be a little stronger for my back. So i decided to hack the unit to take 12V (8x AA batteries) instead. Now the batteries last a lot longer without me having to replace them and also it's stronger. I've been using it a few days and the circuit seems to be fine with 12V going through it.

ByTony DiMancari

Worthy of recommendation

This little device is mighty powerful. I have shoulder impingement syndrome which is so painful. I've been using the TENS for two days now. I'm only using one connection (two patches)--this is plenty. I've done about twenty 30-minute sessions and have it at the intensity setting number two, which is just enough. I don't have the nerve to try the higher settings! I like the Normal setting which gives a continuous, unvarying tingling. I don't know how it works but it nips the pain down to a very low level and makes it tolerable. I have to learn to turn the little knob off when it finishes because I just learned that this will drain your battery if you leave it turned on after the 30 minutes are off and it stops--which is hard to do! That's the only thing I see as a bit of a drawback but I will just have to tie a string on my finger or put a rubber band on my wrist to make me remember! I love it! It works!

Love this 9V TENS unit

This tens unit has just the right amount of power behind it, small size and features to make it a must have for those with MS, muscle or nerve pain. I have used the high-end medical units available from neurologists so I have some experience to compare this with. The housing isn't as nice as some of the higher-end commercial units, but the electrical configuration options are comparable. The housing is a bit too lightweight and is obviously plastic, but it is much sturdier than it feels. I would prefer it to be a bit more rugged, but it hasn't broken or worn out yet and I have used mine often. This very small-sized and lightweight unit is very portable. You can even wear it when you work or walk as it is unnoticeable. Unit does fit in pocket or on a belt. I like that I can control the settings thoroughly and that I have two output channels. This works great for lower back pain, pinched nerves and for residual pain from cramping in the legs, forearms and wrists. For those who live with neuropathy, this type of therapy is a nice option as it allows you to get some comfort and treat nerve pain exactly where it needs to be treated without taking medication. The best part about this product is that results are evident in a short amount of time. I can get satisfactory results with each use. Sometimes I put it on low and just run it for 30 to 40 minutes while I read, work on the computer or watch tv. Other times I use it for only 5 to 10 minutes. It just depends on where it needs to be used and what setting I go with. *It should be noted that this gizmo has decent power output and runs for a long time off of one 9v battery. You do not need to "amp" up the output to painful settings to achieve effective results. The modulation setting is perfect for the wrists, hands, and forearms. I also find that is a great setting for the back. I hardly ever go above a 4.5, but a setting of 3 to 4.5 works fine on most modes. The output power is contingent upon your output pwm "time" setting. If the ratio of on to off is high, a lower output setting is needed. However, setting smaller, quicker, less powerful jolts has a very soothing effect on the nerves and results in a pleasant, soothing treatment with long-lasting results. The pads are comfortable--not overly sticky or gooey but nonetheless result in excellent adhesion. They will not last long if you treat yourself often, so stock up. If you clean your treatment site thoroughly, then you will get anywhere from 5 to 8 treatments from a pair of pads (you use two pads at a time for each channel|circuit). When finished just re-apply them to the sticker backing sheet they came with and reseal them in the envelope to extend the life of the pads. I believe that this is a quality product and would not hesitate to recommend it. This device is inexpensive and practical but you should expect to buy more pads than the four that come with it.

I have shoulder impingement syndrome with is so painful. I've been using the TENS for two days ...

The media could not be loaded. This is pretty amazing! I feel so much better when I hook up to TENS 7000 gives me immediate relief with the different settings and intensity of this device, my old unit had a power cord and was always a hassle to plus it in to use it, this divide is just as good with a battery, after using both, I prefer the one with batteries, less wires to deal with. This is so powerful that I’m not able to go past the 3rd setting on the knobs, anything over 3 is way too much, my old one that’s a different brand wasn’t as powerful, so this is a big plus for people who have a lot of pain or Sciatica problems. Highly recommend if you want real results, I’ve been having Sciatic problems for quite some time and this is the only thing that calms it down.

If you have pain anywhere, you have to try this. I have purchased over a dozen of these.

I received my Tens 7000 yesterday, and was surprised it came with a secure hard case. I missed seeing that it came with the device, so it was a nice surprise. I carefully read the instruction booklet this morning and decided to give it a try. I live on a farm and do all the chores, repairs, etc., on my own. As a result, I've done some lower back damage and wanted to see if this would help. I started out on low settings and changed the mode to see which would feel the best, and slowly increased the intensity to a comfortable, but therapeutic level. I set the onboard timer for 30 minutes, which shuts the device off automatically when done, but I sure could have kept it on much longer. The relief was amazing; but not wanting to overdo it, I'll wait until tomorrow for my next session...and truthfully, I can't wait. I would advise anyone who buys this, not to be foolish and bypass reading the instruction booklet. There are serious warnings regarding what NOT TO DO and why.

Lots of features that work well

disclaimer: I received free 9v batteries from my old job where they were frequently disposed-of with half their life remaining! I'm wearing the unit now and typing this glowing review. Earlier today, I could barely walk. Now I'm contemplating doing some outdoor chores. The biggest problem with this unit is that I keep forgetting to USE IT. You probably need to *try* a tens machine at a chiro or P.T. office before buying one. It is a bizarre sensation and has a particular process, but if you like TENS, then this one is a good one. This TENS machine is an awesome little TENS machine. It has good features if you want to mess with the settings and it has good presets if you don't want to mess with the settings. The little case that it comes with is really great and was an unexpected surprise. Its a micro plastic briefcase that is just big enough. The device is built like a quality transistor radio (if you're old enough to know what that is :) I've had TENS therapy in a dozen professional setting (chiro and P.T.) with perhaps 30 different people applying the electrodes and such. This machine and its results are as good as anything I've ever experienced. I considered buying a plug-in version, but anything other than the portable would be a huge mistake... just a silly, unnecessary restriction (though you wouldn't have to worry about batteries). I could imagine having to buy a 9v battery every couple weeks if I used it more regularly. If my back were completely out, one battery would probably get me back on my feet at least 4 times if I really pummeled myself with electricity (like I'm doing right now, as I type, and it feels awesome). When this puppy breaks. Maybe when the inexpensive components finally wear out or I've dropped it a few dozen times too many, then I'll buy the same item again. Quality. Durability. Nicely thought-out. Carrying case. I can't remember if the instructions were any good. I just watched some youtube videos for pad placement ideas and turned up the dials (start slow, ok?) till the tingle started. oh... and the price. Did you think you were going to get something well-reviewed for much cheaper than thirty three bucks with free shipping? Prob not. Be glad you found this one!

ByBobPT

The device functions as described in the manual.

This unit packs a punch. It was such a lifesaver before I had a double knee replacement. I have also used it on my back and neck when I'd feel a migraine coming on. I would hook it up to both knees while standing all day at work, and subtly turn it off and on throughout the day as needed. It helped me get through the day better than prescription pain killers. Sometimes I would assume I had it up all the way because it was the maximum I could tolerate, only to find it wasn't even half way to full power. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the jacks. I've seen a few reviews that claimed it stopped working, and I would bet it is for the same reason. I admit, I carried this thing on my waistband or in my pocket for months. Sometimes it would fall off my waistband or out of my pocket only to be holding on by just the wires. These jacks are obviously not meant for the amount of strain I was putting on them. Imagine my extreme shock (literally) when I would be reaching into my pocket, slowly cranking up the juice, when all of a sudden the jack would connect again with the power on max. Some of my coworkers (and customers) thought I was being brutally attacked by an invisible being. I mean, essentially I was... Now the only way to make it work is by applying constant pressure to the jacks while in use. I've tried taking it apart to solder the jack connections, but it appears I'd have to break some of the housing to get in there. They obviously made this thing with the intention that consumer will never take it apart. Probably smart. So now I must decide whether to buy the same little machine for at home use (I won't need it at work in my pocket anymore), or buy some smaller digital unit that has the convenience of a rechargeable battery, but that I might find disappointing in comparison... So, I would say I highly recommend this product, just be aware the jacks are not meant for hardcore rough housing in a pocket or waistband on a daily basis. Update: I bought a different unit that was smaller and rechargeable. It had great reviews, etc... Just tried it and I'm sorry. It is not the same as this unit. Even with the power all the way up, it did not have the power and intensity that this product has. I could never turn my TENS 7000 up past half way. Plus the other item was more expensive, and the modes were confusing and reduntant. I just wanted it to be on with no fancy stuff, but that is apparently not an option with that unit. This product has some nice basic modes that are easy to understand and have a professional grade intensity that someone with real pain needs to get through. This unit is more... "prescription strength" whereas the product Im returning seems more over the counter generic. It's not as sexy as the other TENS units, but I'm ordering another one right now. With the intention of being nicer to the jacks this time!

Six months of use. Great for Jump Starting me when I feel Crippled.

Oddly, one of the few TENS units out there with a simple, uninterrupted continuous mode with no ramping up, down or pulsing. It has a few of those too - 5 modes in all - but this is the feature I am used to at the chiropractor/physical therapist. I like the plug in electrodes better than snap on, and like the simple controls - one rotary knob for each channel and three buttons for mode/up/down select. My small complaint is that the rotary knobs are partially recessed in the housing making it hard to get my big fingers around them to turn. But I've used the original 9v battery for the first six or seven 12-minute sessions with no signs of running down. There are four 2" square electrodes that are just right for most uses and though the instructions don't mention cleaning or moistening them I use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub them off with water between uses to keep the adhesive active. The pain from my back spasm is finally going away since I began using this and I consider this the best value for the $ out there. Strong buy!

ByRob

Continuous mode! Yay!

I am so pleased for this Tens unit. Suffer with chronic pain my back. The first use was heavenly. For some reason it stopped working. Let them know about it that night and not even a day later did they send me a new one. How can I not let someone know how they stand by their product and desires anything to keep a happy customer. Thankful and grateful Yes. I am willing to be charged. Have been in hospital and had no one to help me. Its ok. I apologize unforeseen situation. I also would like to thank you for the speedy replacement. God knows it was a life saver. Thank you and God bless. Stay safe and healthy. I do apologize that no one sent back the old one. Have been in hospital with minimal help. Yes, please charge me. I apologize I wasn’t aware of the situation. However, I love your product and your commitment to satisfy every customer issue big or small.

Hello Everyone. I am a grappler, I've been training jiujitsu for the last 10 years. People sometimes refer it to the gentle art, but gentle is not. Needless to say I grapple/wrestle people my weight, or 200lbs heavier than me, so my body goes through quite some wear. Last week I sprained my knee, injured my mcl like I've done in the past a few times. A friend of mine said this machine Tens 7000, really helped her recover, I got the link and it was only $28 bucks, with that price, I figure why not, give it a try. The machine takes a 9 volt battery that is included, not sure how long these batteries have been in the case but my only lasted about 4 treatments which run for 30 minutes each. So to be safe buy another 9v battery at your local dollar store to have a spare. Super simple to run it, and it has given me excellent results. I marked the 2 pads that I am using with a marker so I only use the same pads every time I do a treatment. At this time, I think I am running my 20th treatment with the same 2 pads and they are still very sticky. To apply extra pressure I usually wrap my knee over the pads this really does make the bond tighter and you feel the difference. As far as the levels, there are 8 levels and the highest I've been able to tolerate is a 3. So if you're thinking 8 levels are not strong enough for you, I invite you to give this a chance, the number and intensity are very deceiving. Overall I am super happy with this unit, and have already recommended to all my friends.
