"FANTASTIC!"
Megan Williams
Details: I had at TKR 6 weeks ago and I started off with a borrowed/used ice machine (another brand) which got me through the first 2 weeks post-op however, it was a very old and antiquated. I needed an upgrade fast! This brand/model was recommended by Dr. Samantha Smith, PT and I couldn't be happier! Coming from what I had to this was like magic! In fact, I'm so pleased, I will purchase other body part accessory wraps for future needs. I highly, recommend this product. You will grateful you made the (li... More details

"For Knee Replacement"
Michael
Details: I got the ice machine for after knee replacement. Best part is the the selective on/off controller that cycles the machine. Can then use it all night long.

"Very helpful"
Karina De Graeve
Details: I bought this ice machine after fracturing my tibia plateau in a biking accident. In order to reduce swelling after daily physical therapy I use it to my entire satisfaction and can recommend it to everyone.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes absolutely
"Goid"
peter deberardinis
Details: Works well. Remote with on off feature is great. Full circumference pad is big, but early on after my knee replacement my leg was so swollen that it wouldn't wrap completely around my thigh. The Y spliter hose with a second full circumference pad work well to cover upper and lower part of my leg as the swelling went from my upper thigh to my ankle. Overall a good product and worth the cost.

"Neville Reay"
Neville Reay
Details: The Polar ice machine really reduces pain after completing a rehab on my total left knee replacement. A week after the operation I can do 3 rehab sessions per day.
Location: Richland Place Rehab in Bashville
Would you recommend this to a friend?: I definitely would recommend both Richland Place and my Polar Ice Machine
"Controller is the best feature"
John Moffatt
Details: I waited until the surgery recovery to write this to ensure full satisfaction. I used another product with a prior surgery that worked well too but the REAL difference in the Polar Active Ice machine is the handheld controller and the ability to set on and off cooling periods. It is easy to set up, has a digital display that identifies the cooling level and the time remaining on each cycle. It made a huge difference as opposed to having to turn other products on and off.

"Game changer"
Kathy
Details: 2 weeks post TKR today. My Active Ice machine has been my constant companion. I just rotate in my stash of frozen water bottles and I can ice my knee all day long. Has helped with swelling and I’m able to use fewer narcotics. The 9 quart is nice and portable but still packs a powerful punch.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes!
"Total Knee Replacement therapy"
S M Shukwit
Details: Don't know how I would have gone through my first and hopefully only knee replacement without this ice machine. It would have been SO much more difficult. We did as advised by Randi (I believe that is her name) and used frozen water bottles instead of ice to keep the water cold. I adjusted the timer to 20 min. on and 30 min off then just let the machine do it's magic. I believe this wonderful little machine made what is a pretty difficult surgery a much easier experience.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: In a heart beat!

Would you recommend this to a friend?: yes
"Great pain reliever"
Linda Marshall
Details: It helps a lot with pain. Reasonably priced, too. I wish it had an ice block that you could freeze so you didn’t have to take 6 bottles in and out if the freezer. I would purchase that so it would stay frozen longer and wouldn’t be as messy. Also would improve on the Velcro straps and have it built in to the sleeve. And make the disconnect up closer so it isn’t so long to walk around.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes
"Efficient, Effective Cooling System"
George Blatt
Details: The Polar Active Ice 9-quart cooling reservoir with the full circumference cooling pad has performed as advertised and as expected to assist me through my total knee replacement therapy. The company is family-owned and clearly dedicated to customer satisfaction.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: I would definitely recommend this ice-system.
"Second WOW review"
Linda Bishop-Kane
Details: I had surgery down the front of my shin, 2 weeks ago and have been using this Polar Active Ice 3.0 for two weeks straight. It has not leaked, you can use ice in soft drink bottles and..... you can control how long it stays on, the off interval in and how cold it gets. I bought the one with the XL pad (rectangular) as the incision is very long.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: I have and I will, wholeheartedly!

"Great product"
Dennis Catlett
Details: Had knee replacement on July1. I purchased this product based on a recommendation from the PT. It is great. Gets cold fast and stays cold. Best think is being about to use .5L water bottles as the cooling medium. I put in 6 frozen bottles and use the machine around 7 in the morning. I have a pools of 18 bottles to load up the machine. But on set is good for 5 or 6 treatments over about 12 to 14 hours. Also, you don't have to dump and refill the cooler. Just put in a new set of bottles. It's grea... More details

"Ice Therapy"
Cindy Vaughters
Details: This product is great and the sales associate was super helpful when I called in guiding me which knee compression to get for my TKR surgery which was the full circumference one. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is after a period of time the Velcro straps curl up on one end and doesn’t stick as well as it did when I first started using it. The clear plastic thing that attaches the hoses to the pad eventually stops sticking as well. Other than that it’s a great machine and has worked out well fo... More details

"Great product for my Total Knee Replacement"
Ellyn Bender
Details: As recommended, I ordered the flat rectangular pad to fully encompass my knee. I used this machine with frozen water bottles and 20 min on 20 min off cycles (with the timer) throughout much of my first week, decreasing the use week 2. It was a lifesaver - decreasing pain and swelling.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes
"High Quality and great value"
Tom McHale
Details: Very satisfied with the quality, functionality and value price of this product. The durable water reservoir is very spacious and allows frozen water bottles instead of ice. We have found 3 frozen bottles gets the water cold enough even though the reservoir allows for up to 6 bottles. The pad is also well made and easy to wrap around the knee. The staff at Polar Products was very helpful to help me get what I needed.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Definitely
"Great Product!"
Robert Landgren
Details: I recently had full knee replacement surgery. My daughter recommended that I purchase a Cold Therapy System as part of my recovery. After some research, I purchased the Polar Active Ice system. I spoke with Customer Service (they were VERY helpful) and purchased the Full Circumference Knee Pad as well. The product is terrific! My recovery is going really well! After the first two weeks our Doctor was very impressed by the limited amount a swelling I had due to the use of the machine. I highly re... More details

"Must Have"
Bonnie Shirk
Details: Just had total knee replacement 1 week ago. This unit has been awesome! My hubby fills with frozen water bottles and it lasts for hours. The timer is a must-have. Set it and forget it. I do 20 min on and 40 min off but it is programmable for whatever you need. The wrap is easy to put on and take off without extra help for those potty breaks.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: YES!!
"Ice Machine"
John Clark
Details: The Polar Ice machine is the best, 5 frozen water bottles last from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM using it 6-8 times after exercise for knee replacement. Consistent cooling all around the knee unlike ice packs which don't conform to the knee and get warm.

"Polar Active Ice Review"
Kimberly Hutchison
Details: I purchased the Polar Active Ice for a total knee replacement after research. Highly recommended for the following reasons: Ease of use with no back and forth trips to the freezer or mess. I rotated frozen water bottles in the am and they lasted 24 hours. This allows me to keep the unit plugged in all day and ready for multiple use throughout the day into the evening. The timer is a game changer allowing for peace of mind and easy shut off of unit after cycle completes. Lastly the customer servi... More details

"Caregiver"
Karen
Details: We purchased this product because my husband was having a knee replacement. It has been a godsend, so easy to use and the wrap stays cold for a long time. The timer makes it very simple as it goes on and off at a specific time. This eliminates switching out ice wraps every hour or so. Just fill with frozen water bottles and it lasts 12 hours or so. It has made all the difference in his recovery being able to ice so easily.

"Awesome system"
Betty Adams
Details: I was given a smaller ice therapy machine. My hubby moves the polar ice machine back and forth the bedroom and living room. He says use the best. The longer cold time, larger pad, plus the programmable timer makes this one the best!

"Excellent product!"
William Hennessy
Details: Recommended by relatives who had knee replacement surgery. Researched the many brands. Chose Polar ice due to the many good reviews. I was also persuaded by the company itself. Made in USA and the customer service was fantastic. Every time I called there was an employee that answered the phone and provided the answer to any question.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes, outstanding product

"Great System"
John M
Details: I purchased this system for use following my second knee replacement surgery. Compared to the ice packs I used following my first surgery, this system was much more effective, longer-lasting, and efficient. Prior to my purchase I questioned the cost, but it has proven to be worth every penny!

"don't have knee replacement without this"
James Bartl
Details: We bought this unit before my recent knee replacement surgery and it's been a key tool in managing post-op challenges including pain. It's easy to use and reliable of course it helps relieve the swelling, but also helps manage the pain from PT required walking. I'll never go through another joint operation without having one of these with me post-op.

"Good Product"
Michael Horton
Details: I've been using this for 5 days now after knee surgery. I like it so much more than ice. Much more convenient! I found that placing frozen water bottles inside just doesn't chill the water as much as dumping good-old ice in there. I did then top it off with a few bottles of frozen water to help keep it colder, longer, and it seems to helps. I really like the auto-on & off function. I actually look forward to using it!

Alan Schwartz
Details: Buy direct from US company. They answer the phone, they ship the next day. You can get exactly what you need. Ability to swap out 6 sealed frozen water bottles is incredibly fast, clean and convenient. Timer gives you adjustable periods of cooling and rest, even if you fall asleep. I chose to add extension tubing and power cord - tank is out of the way, tubing routed so it is not a trip hazard, and control is right at my bedside. Large knee pad is perfect for TKR. Temperature is uniform and cons... More details

"Awesome Machine, works great"
Scott Lahasky
Details: I ordered this machine with the full size pad so that it would be useful with my upcoming knee surgery so that it would cover the entire knee and not just the top. I watched several YouTube videos and they were very informative. I also had a friend that used one for her knee replacement. I used 6 frozen 16.9 oz water bottles to keep the water cold. About every 10-12 hours we would switch out the water bottles for new frozen bottles. The pump circulated the cold water through the pad and kept my ... More details

"Excellent for Post-Operative Recovery"
TC2023
Details: This cold compression was a huge help with ACL recovery. I got the full circumference (rectangular) pad since I was going to be having a hamstring graft from behind my knee. The 9qt cooler with 6 frozen 16oz bottles of salt water (3 x 6 to rotate the frozen ones) keep it cold for hours, though it would be just cool by morning. I used a crossbody purse/messenger bag to carry the bottles to/from the freezer while I was on crutches. The newer controller allowing control over time on/off as well as ... More details

Details: I purchased the Polar Active Ice® 3.0 Full Circumference Knee Compression Cold Therapy System, 9-Quart Cooling Reservoir based on a friend's recommendation after her use of one. It was after my knee replacement surgery and it did everything I expected it to do. It worked exactly as advertised and was a lifesaver after my surgery. It is indeed an excellent and reliable product. I recommend it to others now.
