Compex TENS 2.0
Compex
by Beurer • Model: EM59
The Beurer EM59 stands out by integrating a switchable heat function, which can be used alongside TENS for enhanced pain relief. This 4-in-1 device is well-built and effective, offering numerous programs. However, its wired design and button-based navigation feel dated compared to the seamless touchscreen experience of a device like the Oxiline TENS XS Pro, making it slightly less user-friendly.

Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals
"A versatile and effective 4-in-1 device whose standout heat feature is let down by a frustrating interface."
The Beurer EM59 sets itself apart from many competitors with one noteworthy feature: heat therapy. Research may show that adding warmth to standard TENS sessions can provide some relief for muscle stiffness and mild chronic pain. That said, most of its other therapy programs felt more gimmicky than useful, with little noticeable variation between modes. The unit is built reasonably well and the inclusion of TENS, EMS, and massage functions looks impressive on paper, but the practical experience doesn’t always match the spec sheet. The heat function provides some genuine benefit, yet the overall package feels less polished and less effective than more modern alternatives.
