Ossur Cold Rush Therapy Machine System with Universal Pad - Ergonomic Ice Machine, Adjustable Cold Therapy Machine, Quiet and Lightweight Cooling Pad, Strong Cryotherapy Freeze Kit Pump

UPDATE: I haven't used it in almost 6 months, and when I tried using it today it wouldn't turn on. I used this pretty heavily for the first 12 months with no issues, but today when I needed to use it, no luck. Given the price tag of this and coming from a solid brand like OSSUR, I was hoping it was under some sort of warranty. No luck. They only warranty for 6 months.Overall - it was a helpful machine, but I won't be buying it again, just for the fact that it broke less than 2 years after owning it, and that's with really only 1 year of semi-regular use. Pretty lame. IMO.I’ve used the game ready ready ice machine before that is far more superior. But also comes with a huge price tag.Given the price tag of this it’s an excellent machine. I got a major knee surgery Jan 30th and I’ve used this machine since then. It’s been excellent to this point.Pros:-the tubing feels really nice and hasn’t torn or fall apart like some reviews have said.-The machine has a few settings to control how much water pumps through it.-It’s relatively small so it can fit under a table when not using.-It keeps water cold for quite a while (depending on how much you use it).-The universal icing pad I bought with it works really well on my knee.Cons:-if you have a knee surgery and can’t walk, you’ll have to get someone to refill the water for you (I would assume every machine is this way)-the lid is kind of annoying to get open. It’s on REALLY tight and it doesn’t have an easy open tab or lip or something.Overall I’ve been happy with it and it’s improved my icing from the gel packs I’ve used in the past. I would definitely recommend this.PRO TIP: if you use 12 oz water bottles and freeze them, you can fit 4 in the machine and it’s a lot easier and less messy than putting in loose ice every time.

This thing works awesome! I've used a different one before and opted to buy this one to use for this (and future) surgery recoveries- glad I did. Here's the scoop.* Nice clean look- looks like a mini cooler and insulated too which helps with ice longevity.* Long water leads and a long AC cord- helps a ton with placement and outlet reach.* Quiet motor- and adjustable. Barely noticeable at night when it's quiet in the house- a little whisper but I've got clocks that make more noise. Adjustable circulation speed is awesome and allows for more control on how "cold" you want it.Now here are my upgrade suggestions to the manufacturer- remember me with the royalties.* Throw in some simple rubber caps for both the unit lead connectors and put them with each pad- keeps the connectors clean and protected when not in use, and catches any drips out of the pad when disconnected.*Nylon storage bag with molded bottom and pocket(s) for hose leads, pads...*Love the adjustable speed and switch; maybe a push button on/off instead- that way you can keep the setting and just shut the unit off.*Add bluetooth and develop and app. That would take this to the next level to be able to control and schedule the unit for long sessions and night time. No reason to not use this at night especially if you could control the cycle of time, duration, and shut off.*Think about a unit that maybe heats/cools the water and can be used for warm or cold therapy through the pads. Be a bit more complicated but could have use for PT maybe.Anyway- this item won't disappoint. If you want a permanent solution to icing injuries or sore joints/muscles this is a great choice- super happy with it.

This is the most poorly designed item and biggest waste of money I've ever bought. It worked fine for three weeks the first time I needed it two years ago, then it was retired until next necessary, which is now. It has been stored indoors, covered, and It looks in pristine condition but won't work.Apparently any bit of hair or debris getting into the pump impeller, which is not protected by any screening or filtering (a serious design flaw), renders the product useless. The company doesn't stand behind their product, nor do they even offer repairs or suggestions of where to repair. YouTube videos show people spending hours with great difficulty disassembling the product, which is not meant to be disassembled, to reach the hidden impeller and clean it. I'm on anti coagulants so there is no way I'm going to fight with it and tools to try to clean it. I don't know what is more frustrating, the design flaw, the lack of customer support, or the rip off of spending hundreds of dollars on a product not built to last.It is not only a complete waste of money but also a serious assault on the environment as a giant one-time use piece of plastic. The manufacturer should be ashamed to produce such a shoddy, wasteful product.Save your money and look elsewhere for a better designed product or at least a company that stands behind its product.

I had total knee replacement surgery almost 3 weeks ago. My Physical Therapist recommended an ice machine to make recovery more comfortable. He was right I have used this machine constantly from the day of surgery to present and will be using it for several more weeks. I highly recommend this unit and the universal pad which fits my knee as needed. It is easy to use, very portable and ice lasts for several hours. It is also quiet and compact enough to move from room to room as needed. addition to review after using machine for 3 weeks. The machine is still working great but the pad did not hold up well to the use. The cover on the outside of the pad is pulling away from the water part underneath from the Velcro straps used to hold the pad in place.
