I purchased this polar cube for my knee replacement on 7/9/26. It has not worked from the start. I did the troubleshooting as recommended. I would like to return this machine for a refund. Please advise.
Great but bags of ice is colder so good for longer term icing like overnight
The top of the machine was leaking. It was a long-shot, but I thought I’d try replacing the gasket before replacing the whole unit. Nice gasket but not the fix I needed.
I ordered and then sister came home with device from hospital. I have reached our and have heard nothin g
I already had the cooler unit from a prior shoulder surgery just needed the pad for my knee. I got the large size and I would not recommend going smaller unless you have tiny legs! (5’10”, 190# for size reference).
The machine needs ice cubes to run and seal the lid. Impossible to do after shoulder surgery. It was a waste. Had to get gel packs to have ice.
I purchased this product to put in my Bregg machine since my backup bottles are leaking. I have not used the bottles, but I feel confident the bottles will work fine based on the other customers’ remarks.
After reading many reviews, I decided on purchasing the Breg Polar Wave for my ice machine, for a Total Knee Revision. This will be my 4th knee surgery, so I have had some experiance with ice machines. My very first meniscus tear the surgeons office had me rent their Game Ready ice machine which offers compression and icing. My further 3 surgeons did not off renting this machine. So I rented a machine with no compression. I really missed the compression component. I couldn't afford the thousands of dollars to buy a Game Ready so decided to try the Breg Polar Wave. I absolutely love this Polar Wave, its giving me the relief with the compression and icing to keep the pain, swelling and bruising down. I highly recommend this ice machine, its just as good as the one costing thousands of dollars.
Too small for what i needed and they dont let you return, i never used it
Can't imagine recovery without this! Definitely recommend it to everyone.
The knee cuff is great - great compression and cold therapy. Easy to use and comfortable to get on and off after surgery!
I borrowed the Breg polar care cube from a friend and ordered my own knee wrap. It fits fine, but with the thick compression wrap, it does not get cold enough so I am using ice bricks instead. I expect that it will be much more useful after the compression wrap comes off. It is a little bit of a nuisance to drain as well.
Excellent idea, didn't have to rely on refrigerator making sufficient ice or having to constantly buy ice. For the number of hours we need to use the machine the 8 pack was perfect
So courteous and helpful. Arrived on time for surgery. Thank you.
Works pretty well, however, there is no on and off switch, so must be unplugged each time. Filling up the cuff by holding the app as high is also a bit awkward
I purchased the Breg Polar Wave with shoulder attachment a few weeks ago, and it is a solid cold/compression therapy device. You certainly get you money’s worth. I bought it because I need a total shoulder replacement and a going to push the surgery for several months. I was hoping that the Breg would help me along the way, and I have not been disappointed. I have had 2 previous shoulder surgeries, and I have rented Nice machines for the two week post-op period for both. In spite of the fact that I’m very satisfied with the Breg, I will still use a Nice machine after my next surgery. Let’s face it…the Nice machine is next level, and it has the price tag to show for it. I have been using the Breg with 4 ice bags and a hand full of cubes. The water stays cold for several hours. The compression is excellent. The shoulder pad does not fit quite as well as I’d like (specifically, there isn’t great coverage right on the top of my shoulder), but that could very well be a personal preference. This machine is easy to use, very portable, has a long power cord, and sufficient connection hose length. I highly recommend the Breg Polar Wave!
I need to return this order for a refund how do I do this. It's the wrong one. I can't use it. It's still in it's packing.
This ice machine has really come to the rescue for my knee replacement surgery. Ice bags are okay, but they just won't stay in place. I'm totally confident that by icing being more focused and regular, my recovery will be successful. This machine is very, very handy and efficient. I'm glad I bought it.
This us way better than the Breg polar care cube! Worth the extra money! Thankful its cocered under HSA!
