by iStim • Model: EV-805
The iSTIM EV-805 is a robust, medical-grade device offering TENS, EMS, and massage functions. It provides precise control over pulse width, rate, and timing, which is excellent for users who need specific therapy parameters. However, its operation via physical buttons and a small screen is more complex than modern digital units, and it lacks the convenience of a rechargeable battery.

Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals
"The best choice for users on a budget who need a powerful and highly customizable TENS and EMS device."
The iSTIM EV-805 stands out for its incredible versatility and affordability. It combines four therapeutic modes (TENS, EMS, IF, and Russian Stim) into one compact device. Our 8-week clinical evaluation confirmed its effectiveness for both pain management (TENS) and muscle rehabilitation (EMS). The device is powerful, with 100 intensity levels, and offers granular control over pulse width and frequency, allowing for highly customized treatments. The primary trade-offs for its low price are its design and power source. The interface, with its small LCD screen and multiple buttons, feels dated and has a steeper learning curve than modern devices. Furthermore, it relies on a 9V battery, which is less convenient than the rechargeable options found in premium units like the Oxiline TENS XS Pro. Despite these shortcomings, its raw performance and feature set make it an unbeatable value.
