Lol “brush your neck hair and jewelry before use”. I’m legit laughing my ass off! Everyone turned around and looked at me like I’m crazy, laughing to myself. Lol. That’s great.
That’s the first ever TENS machine I’ve seen with a Depeche Mode! A little music while it shocks your soul
That's what I thought, too!
Lol? Are you twelve?....or just laugh at your own "jokes" commonly?

The first and second massagers cracked me up! Thanks for the solid, honest reviews as always my man 👊🏽
Thank you. This was a pretty fun one to make!
@@Freakinreviews dont put the temu app on your phone, its currently the worlds largest ccp run spy app that's more invasive than tiktok
Heads up for TENS units: I use the normal kind regularly and it specifically says to be extremely careful with using it on the neck because it can cause the throat to spasm and make you choke or having a hard time breathing. Also, the higher settings are for people with nerve damage. You should always start at the lowest setting and go up on tiny increments, and if you can crank it up and not feel like you're being electrocuted, either it's not making contact correctly or you have severe nerve damage. Like, paralysis-level nerve damage. I never go higher than 4 out of 10 on mine.
Tens is perfectly safe and can be a life saver when experiencing debilitating muscular and nerve pain. But I’d recommend buying a normal unit (with the replaceable pads) from a reputable company.
The right tens units are absolutely amazing, it's literally the only thing that will help my back when it goes out.. I used to go to the chiropractor and do massage therapy etc when it went out and It could take upwards of 2 weeks before I was functioning properly again, the tens unit will get me back to normal in a day sometimes 2.
Same here. I used to go to a chiro just for the tens. So glad they came out with affordable home units.
I love my TENS!
I'm super curious about the one for the neck. I've never been able to use any TENS unit on my neck because the neck muscles are small but strong, so they immediately lock up with each pulse.
Look up PEMF. Another solution for any issues you have with your body.
I have Progressive MS and my tens unit is a must.. the muscle spasms (MS hug ) especially around the ribs are immensely painful and if both sides spasm at the same time you truly can't breath or stand up straight from the pain. I have several units in different places for this specific reason.
TENS systems seem to work pretty well when your muscles are already in pain. Otherwise, the pain isn't really worth it.
The problem is proper use of TENS devices is critically dependent on electrode placement. I can hit the keys of a piano but I cant play.
@@cobaltxxxfusiongreat analogy!
I used the sharper image tens massager and it caused numbness down my arm that stayed for a month. I had no issues prior to use.
Sounds like you had placement right on the Medial nerve. Nothing permanent but it does last more than a few days. A similar thing is common in some nerve blocks. Thanks for sharing, because it is a perfect example and there is a learning curve involved here as to being proficient in electrode placement. @@Cmon_Nah123
I bought the same item. Can't get mine to talk or do anything except get hot.
Love your descriptions of each mode on the TENS massager! 😂
At least 1/4 of this video had me laughing with water coming from my eyes. This is why I love your honest reviews because it brings the good, the bad and the funny. 😂
This is your best video in over a year! I laughed so much during the TENS unit testing! I also applaud your courage... I would never had trusted that Chinese electrical torture unit!!
IKR I've seen a CZcams guy called Bigclive review some electronics from China and some can be literally lethal
Love you man, been watching for years!
The first and second ones can be a hazard to people with long hair :'D I have something similar to 3rd and 4th. You should use 3rd on a moist skin (prefferably through the wet towel), I like to use wet paper towel. And you should start from the lowest setting and go up until you feel pain, and then turn it down to a moment when you don't feel pain anymore. It's actually pretty nice when you have problems with your joints. But I love massagers like the 4th. it can give you the force on your neck "hand massagers" cannot
Your face said it all! Lol thank you for your reviews ... this one was so funny for some reason... 😂
I laughed through 75% of this review…awesome stuff! 😂
I shared it for that alone. it's rare, anything can MAKE ME LAUGH LOL.
That second massager got me crying with laughter @3:04 James said "I think that might be dangerous, I'm not doing that" Lol.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience with the gadget. It adds a personal touch to the review 🙂
"A Barbie car running up and down your arm". That's the best laugh I've had so far today !!!
7:40 LMFAO I’ve been watching these reviews for over 5 years and I don’t recall James ever making a face like that before 😂
Thanks for reviewing those two massagers! i wanted to see some kind of insight on the 1st one which you have to put something like a lubricant.. i go to a physical therapy for my shoulder and i know how it feels with the shock therapy..I’m kinda used to that already..But i’m still unsure about buying that thing.. i want to try it anyway..
I like your videos and reviews. I have even purchased stuff that you have had on the channel. I just can't deal with wish and after learning more about temu, and seeing some of the counterfeit coins on their website I just can't make myself download the app or order from them. I get that many people do and will find these reviews helpful.
These were all very entertaining, not enough to get me to buy anything, but entertaining. Thank you!
Yeah I don't think my tests convinced many people to run out and buy these haha.
@@Freakinreviews Um, actually some products I own today were because of the review you gave. I have a Vantru because of your review. I also like to see your updates and how they are holding up, so I sincerely THANK YOU, for all the Freakin' Reviews, James.
The wide and I like a very similar neck tens unit. We have had it for several months and never charged it so the battery life is amazing. I did learn from you that it has different modes. We always just start it in auto mode. I don't really increase the power and it is great.
“Comb neck hair and jewellery” 😂😂😂
Great video, very interesting. Thanks for the early release!
Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I got myself the tens unit that is a little egg.... Works great on my back. My back is so tense that I can put it up to level 11 and it doesn't hurt. I might have to get that last neck massager you got...I was eyeing that!
tried 4 different neck heating pads for my arthritis in my neck. No idea why it so hard for someone to make one that actually fits around the neck.
On the last device, are those straps with loops on the end for your arms/hands to "rest" in and therefore you are able to help control the pressure or slightly move more rather than just remaining in one spot? Great video as always! Have a great day! 🍻🌎♥️🎶🕺
That’s exactly what they’re for! I have a similar massager from a name brand- and the hand straps make a big difference in controlling the placement and pressure.
Fantastic review. The first two went as I thought they might. The last one I have something similar and it works great.😊
Been using the shiatsu version of this for years, and as a possible upgrade, I have been wanting the last massager for a while now, but couldn't bring myself to pay the prices on Amazon. The quality of this one seems pretty much the same, on Temu. What is your experience with them? As in price, quality, and shipping compared?
I have a few neck massagers, including the first one and it does pinch, i found if you put a little arnica oil on your neck first it helps a lot. Also, pull it apart to stretch the arms lowering the clamping sensation. It needs to be broken in quite a bit, like new boots. Still just a cheap product that is just a little better than nothing.
Bwahahaha! This one was fun to watch. Fist bump to James, taking one on the neck for our viewing pleasure!
you mimicing the different settings was not only hilarious but somehow helped me understand perfectly
The last one is similar I bought a couple of years ago from Amazon. I love that I can put it on any shoulder easily.
Ohhh James the human sound effects machine! Great video as always 👍 Happy Friday 🎉
I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted. It’s similar to a tens in that it sends constant electrical impulses through my spine. I bet after a while you’ll use that neck massager more. They can be very effective.
Got the last one for xmas. I quite like it
Thank you for your videos.
I have one similar to the last one and i LOVE IT, you can move it around your back and massage different parts and it feels like some fingers are rubbing the area. Pretty neat. Also i think mine is a cheap knock of version I got from amazon but it works
I need that massager lol the last one you reviewed. 😂
😂 this had me laughing good video
For just a little bit more money you can get a proper TENS unit with reusable/replacable gel pads, suffering from chronic neck pain I can tell it works well
James said "mode" so many times that I now feel compelled to listen to Depeche Mode. 👍
I love using a tens machine. I'll be looking into this neck massager.
The Horrible Influx of Temu Commercials is causing me Inestimable Harm😂! Seriously,there are too many Temu Commercials.
The tens neck massager works best if you just wet a paper towel and place between your neck and the unit. I have used one for the past couple of years for migraines.
I have one like the first one and it sucks. James was right, it hurts! Pinches really bad. The one I got that I love is a pressure point massager. It's long and shaped like an S and you use your own strength to press on the tensed muscles so you can adjust the pressure. I love it! It really works.
trying to save some people from having the same experience I did. I have a shiatsu neck massager with heat that I absolutely love.
Unfortunately its cover is made with the ever popular trash called vegan leather aka TPU. The massager works great but after having a few yrs & storing gently on a closet shelf after storing in box 1st 2 yrs, the cover is a peeling mess that sheds tpu dust everywhere & if I want to use it, I have a good 15 min clean up afterwards & its also now stored in a bag to keep the cover from shedding everywhere.
Do yourself a favor & avoid vegan leather at all costs as u will have to toss whatever the product is due to its failure & the wastefulness of this material is actually anti green. Also mine was from Amazon & wasn't cheap
Lol😂 that second massager looks like a torture device.
You must test the cooling belt Sparkle Tornado. Semes awesome.
Love how comedic this video is.
When I got my tens machine for home it cost me $150 but that was 10 years ago. I had to have a doctor order it and make sure I knew how it worked and signed a paper saying I understood, The one thing I remember most was Don't Put it on your chest and back because it could stop your heart, So for this to say sholder Im thinking for some people that's going to be close to the chest and back especialy kids playing around with it,
I had a TENS machine too and it also said what yours said, but I think it also mentioned neck as well.
My chiropractor uses a commercial grade tens unit on all his patients and places the pads on the back.
Just don’t put it on your chest.
I didn't know about the chest thing. Thanks for the info !
As long as the videos are long... we are happy :D
I wouldn’t mind trying the TENS. I love TENS units.
Loved the intro 😂
I use a tens machine on my knee and i love it so much because it helps a lot.
Loving your legs! I appreciate your laughter and honest reviews 😃 thanks!
OMG get lead test strips for them Temu products!
Have you done a comparison video on dash cams by chance?
On the second massager, I also laughed.
I use a higher power TENS/ICF unit every day and I'm up to 16/20 levels. My BF can't even do level 2 lol. But when you have chronic pain every day the desensitize that it provides is very nice
Would be scared use a cheap Chinese device designed to shock your neck 😂
You’ve clearly never had a Chinese neck and shoulder massage. They hurt! But the resulting warmth and tenderness pays off the next day!
Apparently James has never had a deep tissue massage. It tends to be uncomfortable to painful when done, but such a relief afterwards when all the knots are gone. I doubt any of these devices do a proper deep tissue massage. But discomfort doesn't automatically mean a bad massage.
Yeah its like going to massage spa it's uncomfortable when they doing it sometimes hurt but when they done it's feel good afterwards 👍
my RMT left bruising on me after the massage. But holy cakes, did I feel relaxed afterward!
The TENS unit seems more like a torture device! 😆
TENS units aren't for everyone, but for those of us that know what it can do for us? Yes, please. We actually just upgraded to $400 worth of unit/accessories. We'll be getting our monies worth out of it, no doubt.
I tried one similar to the last one you used and it felt good whilst using it but afterwards my muscles were so sore. I think I used it to long or something lol.
The third one looks like a shock collar for dogs 😂
I have bad back pain and when I was still working I would wear a tens machine and crank it all the way up. I would me talking to someone and all of a sudden my voice would go way up like yours did and people would look at me like I was crazy.
Haha I can see that happening!
the occasional pin prick you said you felt was probably the electrical contacts coming loose from the skin or touching a part of the contact with no gel on. (I'm a TENS user for my back).
Thanks for the video
The tens massager reminded me of my blood pressure cuff, which is actually easy to understand but it ends each session with "have a good health".
I've had pads that shock your muscles, and I got a good TENS neck massager too.
I used both of these once, and never touched them again.
You have to keep Tems on and adjust to upping the settings it really helps with pain.
I'll just say. That's how EVERY TENS I've ever felt feels like lol
I'll take the TENS unit. I love those.
Hahaha made me think of Ross using Tonka trucks to massage phoebes client lol
well deep tissue massage only feels good afterwards. DT in process can be very painful depending on your soreness level.
I've just about crawled away from a massage, but my muscles went from rock to sore jello. The temporary pain is worth it!
5:06 Looks like a hovering StarWars droid.
i have an electric pulse massage pen like the TENS and makes muscle spasm but not vert massaging, you should find and do that
Came out more stressed than before 😂
I used to have to get epidurals in my lower back and they hurt like hell but after that I would definitely feel better for a few days
The first one reminded me of an old metal can opener that my mamaw had when I was little. 😁
omg i was struggling to think of what the thing reminded me of, you hit it on the head
That first one looked painful 😂
Look at all those succulents he's collected! 🚀
You're a good sport, James :-)
I'm actually kinda interested in the tens one, but I'm alergic to aloe, so I don't know if I could use it. The massager one won't do me much good, since my pain is spinal, not muscular, but maybe the tens thing will work.
You can get tens unit from a reputable company and they come with replaceable/disposable pads that are made with medical grade hypoallergenic silicone instead of aloe / some other messy gooey stuff.
That’s what I have- def worth checking out, it made a huge difference for me.
Also/ you can get a small inexpensive tens unit (in the first aid section of the drug store) if you want to try it out first- before committing to buying a bigger, nicer unit. I got one from Walgreens, and used it for a few weeks before I got a bigger unit.
@@ralexandra1058 Does it work on pain from nerve and bone problems? I have degenerative disk disease in my upper back and neck. I'm in constant pain, but can't take pain meds because they damage my kidneys.
No no, it's saying "All Hail Megatron!"
The last one looks like the massage chairs at the mall but only the neck part of it.
Electric stimulator seems to be the very opposite of a massage lol but I wouldn't know.
I'll just use my hands or a heating pad, hot shower, or something else. XD I like the squeezer one.
Who knows though, the TENS sounds promising. I have bad computer neck and lower back problems.
Thank you❤
A good massage always hurts at times.
Thank you so much for torturing yourself so that we do not have to! 😂
What?! Are you saying the cheap crap from temu is cheap crap?!?! Never would guessed that! lol
Probably a comment from left field, but I got the sense that you had the tens unit upside down.
Just fancy TENS unit 🙂 they are pretty safe as long as you don't go across your heart with them lol.
I think you had it right mentioning the cheapness factor. I've seen similar massagers work because they flex and have nice beads with great rolling action, but the ones you had definitely seemed like knockoffs of better products
I love how picky and cranky you are, just like me. 😹😹
The first neck massager, you need to have short(er) hair, or risk of getting hair tangled in the rollers.
13:38 “very niccce how muchhh?”
I’m a little jealous… the TENS device I have doesn’t have “finger presh mode”. I definitely should have gone with the cheaper option! 😂
