4 Stars because this is my second unit. The first one died after two years of partial use. My wife had an ankle fusion surgery and periodically needs to use the ice machine. Recently when we went to use it the pad would not cool. After speaking with tech support and going through trouble shooting it was determined the machine was broke. I would have expected this to last especially for periodic use. I will re post if this unit dies and it wont be 4 stars...
The Polar Care Wave has been amazing in recovery of a knee replacement. The compression component has been a game changer and feels great!
This Polar Care Wave machine is a must for post Total Knee Replacement. The knee pad is easy to put on, and is comfortable, offering perfect compression while icing the knee. Easy to use. I cannot think of a reason not to purchase this product for one's healing journey.
As you are aware my order was lost in transit via UPS. I want to thank you for quickly reshipping a new order to me via FedEx. I received the order over the weekend and will be using it effective tomorrow. Great Customer Service! very much appreciated.
Thanks again

I recently had my second hip replaced, and I wanted to have a cold (and compression) therapy machine at home. During my first rehab, my physical therapist had me using a Game Ready Machine at the rehab facility. I looked into purchasing one, but the Game Ready was $3000+ dollars, so that was a no-go. I did some research and found the Breg® Polar Care Wave. It costs 80% less than the Game Ready, so I decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad that I did. It is very easy to use, works great, and offers the same high-quality therapy as the Game Ready. The cold therapy is very cold, and the compression is strong. The hip pad is very comfortable and easy to adjust. I plan on using this quite a bit, even after my hip is fully rehabbed, as I am an active person so I also purchased the knee wrap attachment. It will be a great recovery device after long days at work or workouts. It is also quite a bit smaller than the Game Ready, so it is very portable and travels well. I highly recommend this if you're looking for high-quality cold / compression therapy at home or on the go.
