As a physiotherapy ultrasound machine it works really well. I purchased this as one of my tools for managing my chronic pain. It is very helpful in addressing inflammation and tendonitis pain. I found an online matrix detailing the safe usage and what settings are appropriate. I was also very pleased and pleasantly surprised to find quality assurance testing notes dated the day this shipped to me. Overall I am pleased with this. My main disappointment with this has been the factory paint job. It arrived with the paint beginning to chip. This continued during my first week of purchase followed by rust beginning to form. I am willing to bet the factory paint shop forgot a single step in the painting process which caused this to happen. My 2nd and 3rd week of ownership was spent re-painting the unit: - I used a baked on enamel paint for the lid. This provides ultra protection. - I used a professional grade enamel paint for the base. My disappointment hasn't stopped there. I've additionally ordered replacement rubber feet. The ones that came with this were hollow and beginning to chip after only 1 week of usage. I've selected rubber feet which are both solid and reinforced with a metal washer for durability. There is room for improvement by the manufacturer. I really wish they got the paint job and feet "right". Pain control and treatment is so important. With a chronic condition this is for use in my home. I've invested in a night stand table with a shelf and storage cupboard for a jug of ultrasound gel. I've also ordered wheels to make it easy in bringing this to the area of my home that is best suited for an ultrasound treatment. I also purchased a set of hand towels for removing the ultrasound gel from my body after each treatment. The difference between buying this machine and attending a physiotherapy clinic is 3 fold: - It is available in the middle of the night when I am in pain and is very effective in treating the type of pain ultrasound targets - Where I live between 7 and 10 treatments at a physiotherapy clinic would equal the cost of this machine. Then you have nothing to show for your money. I treated this as an investment. - Of course in buying this I am assuming the responsibility for the safe usage. A person should not buy this piece of medical equipment without the knowledge of how to use it safely and not cause harm. I was very pleased with the included travel case and power adapter if I find myself traveling outside the country. Certainly this is a tool I would bring with me in my travels. You don't get "time off" from a chronic condition and a health care condition needs planning for in order to have the best quality of life.Read full review
