Zewa Spabuddy Sport TENS Pain Therapy Review – Prominent Investment for Pain Relief!

Programs and Modes

Zewa Spabuddy Sport TENS Pain Therapy features 8 preset massage programs, which are created to take various type of intense and chronic pains.

Similar to many TENS devices offering preset programs, you will have to experience and conduct some trial treatment session to find out the most suitable program for your need. Different types of pain, different types of muscle groups and different body areas will response differently to these programs.

You can investigate thoroughly and specifically via the Program Guide of the manufacturers, below are some important clarification that we can briefly provide you:

Since everybody responds contrastingly to certain preset programs, the manufacturer suggests to try every one of them first and after that use the program that offers most comfortable experience with best pain relief.

Different from the lower-end TENS units being reviewed previously, Zewa Spabuddy Sport TENS Pain Therapy permits users to set treatment session time. Device’s timer ranges from 5 to 95 minutes or you can choose continuous setting mode. However, you should be cautious with treatment session over 25 minutes.

In case you believe that TENS treatment sessions longer than 25 mins can do you good, it would be much better to counsel with an expert therapist (like your physical therapist or your doctor. There’s nothing more terrible than overdoing the TENS treatment.

There are some TENS manufacturers, like Omron, suggest the maximum length of a treatment session at 30 minutes with their TENS machines.

The preset programs combined with the timer make Zewa’s SpaBuddy Sport a bother free gadget, which is most suitable for those who need to take a rest and enjoy their treatment session, without having heaps of manual settings to alter.

Channels

Zewa Spabuddy Sport TENS Pain Therapy allows users to use two or four electrode pads (2 electrode pads in each channel); this sort of TENS device is categorized as a dual channel TENS unit. This dual channel machines gives you the adaptability to treat up to 2 different body parts at the same time.

Intensity Levels

The most wonderful thing about Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is that it has 30 intensity levels. Therefore, users are provided with great deal control over the TENS treatment’s strength. There are not many TENS devices available in the current market can offer this much amount of control. For example, the Omron PM3030 just has 5 and PL-009 just has 8 intensity levels.

If you have experienced using a TENS unit with just few intensity levels to control, it’s truly annoying. In case Level 2 isn’t sufficient for your agony, while Level 3 is a bit too much, it will be difficult to locate the ideal strength of your pain. With Zewa SpaBuddy Sport, you’ll never encounter such issue as it generously provides you with 30 intensity levels to look over.

However, be aware that the quantity of intensity levels doesn’t make a TENS machine more powerful, but it depends on the current of the gadget being measured in mA. Fortunately, Zewa SpaBuddy Sport also has such power. The most extreme current reaches 100mA. This is perfect for TENS treatment, human pains do not require any higher power.

Ease of Use / Device Operation

It’s obvious that every user wants their TENS device to be simple-to-use. It seems like Zewa’s designers have thoroughly thought about this! Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is one of the easiest TENS gadget to use in the current market.

Along with “2 + / –” buttons for intensity controls, there are just three more buttons to deal with – which are perfect for those being overwhelmed by heaps of buttons and options. By few clicks on the buttons, you can sit still, lie down and relax to enjoy your TENS treatment session.

The oval shaped buttons are clearly named: “ON/OFF”, “TIMER” and “PRG” (for program). They are placed right below the screen. It would be better if these buttons are named individually as P1, P2, … it would be easier to differentiate and remember them. However, the manufacturer’s Program Guide can be helpful, in case you forget.

Another element that shouldn’t be neglected is the LCD display. You may find many gadgets available has messy display. Since SpaBuddy Sport’s display takes up around half of front face of the device, it allows more information to show for easier and clearer control.

The main thing users have to tolerate at is that the screen display it’s not backlit. To me, this is not a big issue. In case you’re hunting down a TENS unit that can provide backlit screen, you may find the HealthmateForever interesting.

What’s imperative to note the strongly competitive price of Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy. It cannot have everything that higher end gadgets can offer. However, it does a great work providing good, straightforward and flexible setup to a TENS device.

Battery

Similar to other TENS machine in the same price range, Zewa SpaBuddy Sport features 3 AAA batteries. It means that the device is not rechargeable, which is somehow a con – however luckily, it appears to be truly great with regards to battery life. With the maximum current of 100 mA, it has the same power as a high-end TENS unit. Zewa did a great job to make these AAA batteries last!

Regarding this, with brilliant batteries, users may even get 10 hours of continuous use before they are juiced out. You can buy the batteries in big bulk to get months of use before buying new battery set.

Therefore, in case you’re not buying a rechargeable TENS device, you will surely need your gadget to be great on batteries – and Zewa SpaBuddy Sport is the answer. It’s likewise worth noting that the machine takes just three AAA batteries, while some with same price range runs four.

Size and Portability

• Product Dimensions: 3.8 in x 2.5 in x 1 in
• Weight: 4.8 oz.

The height and the width of the product is about the size of a credit card but little bigger. Obviously, the depth is out of consider but overall, Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is quite small and easy to carry along.

This model is fundamentally the same as in estimation to the TENS 7000 and it is smaller than the PL-009 version of truMedic. The PM3030 of Omron is slightly smaller; however, it has an exceptionally restricted list of capabilities when being compared with SpaBuddy Sport.

Included Accessories

Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is included with everything that you need to use immediately:

• 2 or 4 Electrode Pads
• 3 AAA Batteries
• 1 Carrying Box.
• 1 Manual Book

Warranty

The manufacturer provides two years of warranty for all features, including both the unit and the self-adhering pads.

Even though it cannot defeat the lifetime warranty of HealthmateForever, this guarantee is still a good offer since almost other units only come with one-year warranty such as AccuRelief, Tens 7000, Omron, etc.

Consumer Reviews

I have had backache for several months and decided to purchase a small Tens product to see whether it would change anything. Most of the time, the only thing that helps me get over the pain is Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy. It truly relaxes my muscles and takes my backache into consideration.

The machine is powered by 3 AAA batteries and is very powerful. I use the product more than what is truly recommended and have to change the batteries consistently every week or 10 days. I realize that it is much more efficient and effective when I use Zewa SpaBuddy for 15 to 30 minutes as a warm up before exercises. Then when I do my activities, I can feel my muscles were free and ready to work out, and not simply snap back to or stretch like what they performed some time recently.

There is one thing to remember is make sure that you have extra electrode pads. The manufacture says they will remain to stay sticky for around 6 weeks of use. However, it takes me only several days for the pads to change. And the machine is pointless without them. I know that everybody has a tight budget these days but the extra changing money is not terribly expensive. If you have a back pain, it is worth to spend some extra money if that is really needed to help you get better. As for the pads, I try to extend its lifetime by a small tip: soak them into a glass of water then let them dry for 10 minutes with the sticky side faces up. It seems to bring them back to life and adhesion for a little longer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

These are the reasons why Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is popular with the customers:

• 8 Computer Controlled Massage Programs: You can set up the suitable speed and choose the area or muscle groups of your body to target the treatment.
• Dual Channels: Convenient for treating different areas at the same time. It means that you do not need to spend much of time to be an expert of this product.
• 30 Intensity Levels: The higher level you choose, the more amount of energy you get through the attached pads.
• Large LCD Shows Intensity Bars and Programs. Timer from 5 to 95 minutes and continuous. There is a countdown timer showing the time left of each treatment. A normal treatment session will last about 20 – 30 minutes. Any longer therapy will need to be consulted by your doctor.

Cons

Despite the above advantages, the product still needs to improve some more:

• Not rechargeable
• No screen backlit
• No belt clip or carrying case.
• Pads supplied is less sticky after a short time of use

Price

All in all, for the money, I highly recommend this product. It belongs to middle-price-range product but somehow, it can still be put into affordable category. When compare Omron’s PM3030 or truMedic’s PL-009 with this device, you will not see much difference in price.

Even thought I would prefer the product with rechargeable ability; however, considering what it can do and how it performs, I think this device is truly worth of your investment.

Summary – Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy.

Overall, in my opinion, Zewa Spabuddy Sport Tens Pain Therapy is a very good massager device which best suit people who want a product with a wide program board of selections but still simple enough to get out of the box and use straight away.
