Worth it!!
This this will save you after shoulder surgery! I did a ton of online research and decided on this ice therapy machine because of the shoulder specific pad and the option to raise and lower the temperature. After a few days of trial and error I have figured out the key to being able to ice throughout the day and night and still get sleep! Fill the reservoir to the water fill line, place 3 small frozen water bottles and two regular size ones in the reservoir. You’ll need three sets of these because they need to be swapped out every 5 hours. Set the machine to 3, and lost importantly- plug it into a WiFi/Bluetooth controlled outlet. I had to use 2 of them because each one only allowed me to program a once an hour on/off. So to get 12 hours of programming from each one, I set it to turn on the machine for 20 minutes, which is already at level 3 (4 being the coldest), once an hour. And my husband switches between the plugs once a day. Otherwise you are having to reach over to turn it on and off all night and day. I had 40+ alarms on my phone to wake/remind me until I thought of this! When I was doing it manually, I had tried to leave it on level 1 instead of just off, in between icing for 20 minutes at level 3, but condensation gathered on the tubing. Another couple of tips, don’t let the tubing get kinked where it exits the machine and where it enters the pad. The cords are a bit heavy so they have to be propped up. I am able to unplug the cord from the machine and carry it with me to the bathroom, even on the day of surgery. Make sure the machine is above the area you are icing. It takes some creative arranging to figure out where you want the pad on your shoulder exactly and how to get it on by yourself, but its worth it. While this machine is not perfect, it sure beats icing the old fashioned way!

Fantastic Product!
I bought this for double hip replacement and I’m very glad I did! It was easy to use and will stay cold a whole day or night depending on how much you use it and I used it a lot. First on one hip, then on the other, then back again for hours. Saves you, or your caregiver the hassle of filling ice bags or refreezing ice packs constantly, especially at night. You can adjust how cold you want it and the motor was very quiet. It’s very well made, user friendly and does not leak or sweat. I’m sure it’s the reason that I was pain free for much of my recovery and my swelling was reduced considerably. Although I bought the large shoulder pad, because it came with the unit, it worked perfectly fine on my hips. It’s already being used by other members of my family for a sport injury, so worth the investment.Tip – we used three frozen bottles of water along with the water and filled the remaining space with ice cubes. We think it made the ice last longer and you can just throw the bottles back in the freezer when you change it up to a fresh load.

Prouduct is not as descibed and is a big hassle..stick to reusable ice packs !!
So very disappointed in this product. I bought 2 weeks prior to shoulder replacement surgery. Be prepared or so i thought…I read all the reviews along with spouse..sounded great and he knew he could put it together…OMG opened the box, the instructions are a bit over detailed and go on forever..but we followed to the letter..turned it on and waited and waited and waited…the cold water circulated to about 3/4 of the pad, but the one part of the pad didnot seem to fill and would not lay flat like the rest of the pad…pad itself was cold but way inadeqate…we took it into the bedroom..hoses didn’t reach from floor to my shoulder, put it on top of table next to bed, no better, so we just gave up….the hospital sent me home with refreezable ice packs with a holder that had velcro straps, etc…also had ordered a shoulder ice pack from Amazon as well and glad i did.. so this prouct is just not what it is portrayed to be…sending it back…another shock…big retocking fee if item is used…etc etc..why ? YOU HAVE TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER TO SEE IF IT EVEN WORKS.. we shall see what happens…it came in the manufactures box only, so that is how i am shipping it back with all the many pieces parts…ps..there is no way to totally drain the pads..we suspended the tubing and the pads for two days over the sink and there was water still in the pads…so i would assume you would have to buy new pads eventuaaly as i would think u would have an odor or mold problem…stick to ice packs…

Definitely worth it for labrum surgery
I had labrum surgery just over a week ago and had purchased this at recommendation of my surgeon. Technically my surgeon suggested renting a GameReady machine but I waited too long and couldn’t get one in time. The reviews for this were great and it looked like it would do the trick.I am very happy with the purchase for the most part. Anyone having labrum surgery I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing this unless you will be renting a GameReady or something similar. This helped a ton with pain and I iced almost continuously for the first 48 hours, then tapered to all night with times during the day afterwards.I was lucky enough to get access to a GameReady today and wanted to review this to give a comparison in case it could help anyone else. If you have the funds, go for the GameReady. It’s much easier to put the sleeve on and I’m able to do it myself (surgery was on my dominant arm). The Game Ready also covers more of the body and will tighten and loosen during icing, almost like a blood pressure cuff does. As for this one, I needed my husband’s help to put it on and it was uncomfortable to sleep in the first two nights until I got a hang of it and how to adjust it properly. This one is much quieter than the GameReady though and never bothered me overnight.Overall I’m happy with my purchase, even if I only used it for one week. It helped tremendously with pin management and helped me stop all pain meds after two days. I’ve been driving since day 4 and am back to normal as much as I can be as a mom of two little kids without the use of one arm. Best of luck to anyone reading this about to have labrum surgery.
