Review: Best way to ice after surgery - My recent surgeries were total joint replacement (knee & hip) so this ice machine was used every day for the past 5 months with no problems. I use 4 frozen 12oz soda bottles (filled with water) at a time that need a swap out every 10 hours or so. I have a total of 12 bottles in the freezer to rotate through. The cooling is always icy cold and perfect with a thin cloth barrier on the skin area or just on the skin if I reduce the flow to 3 especially when it has fresh ice bottles. The timer prevents too much icing and I used it 30 on 30 off for a few hours. I was told never use heat, just ice and this ice machine provides an ease of use when compared to using gel pads and ice bags. Less trips to the freezer. I bought an additional large back pad but I only used the smaller universal pad that comes with it. No leaks and always covers the leg area just right. It is worth the cost when you consider how effective it is reducing pain and inflammation and how easy to use versus managing a bunch of gel pads in the freezer.
Review: Excellent purchase - My wife underwent a knee replacement, so constant ice packs were important to control pain & swelling. We tried using the smaller ice packs provided by the hospital, but they didn't last very long and were never really cold enough. I took a chance and bought this product (the smaller 6 bottle size) and couldn't be more pleased! Six bottles of frozen water will provide about 4-5 hours of cooling before needing to be replaced. Very easy to set up and use the first time. SOME SUGGESTIONS: - I'm sure the larger size would be even better (longer lasting) but I was concerned about the weight since I would have to carry it up and down a flight of stairs. - I purchased the one with the large pad, and it was a good choice. It enabled the knee to be completely surrounded with ice. - The controller works well and is intuitive. - Freeze enough bottles of water so you can easily exchange them as they get warm. I initially froze 24 bottles while waiting for the shipment, and this worked well. It allows the replacing of warm bottles without impacting the level of cooling. (Figure 6 in the container, 12 to be readily available, and 6 being frozen). And at the end, you can still drink the water because it's in a clean environment. Overall, an excellent purchase that I'm very happy with!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING Customer service, excellent product !!
*by D***H on January 3, 2026*

I don't even know where to begin. The ice machine itself is top notch, 5 stars. BUT the customer service goes above and beyond, 10 + stars. I have no affiliation with this company, just an average person who had to undergo a right knee replacement surgery. I ordered all my DME weeks early to prepare, including the ice machine. My husband and I did a trial, it worked great. Day of surgery, I wake up in the recovery room and there is water everywhere. The nurses are telling me it's a bad machine, it must be broken, I was so overwhelmed. Finally get home, reach out to customer service in a PANIC...I need this machine working, HELP. We immediately got a call back from Jess. She was patient (I was not) she was kind, (I did my best) and she took control and fixed everything. She took the time to explain the O rings, the connection site, the tubing. She sent an email and diagrams on how to change the needed parts and if required, trim the tube lines. She followed up with phone calls. Then, to top it all off, she sent Fed Ex (it was a holiday week) extra parts just in case we had any other issues. In the end, it was the surgical staff who snapped the O ring when they set up the machine, due to not reading the instructions. This company cared, the took the time on a holiday weekend, to calm me, speak with me, show concern. The machine has worked perfectly since, it is incredible, and I am so thankful I chose this company. Thank You Jess, you are a big part of my recovery !!!!!!
