Product Reviews

Details: I bought this for the 1st of several knee replacement for my wife and I. We had used ice packs for prior surgeries and wanted less hassle and longer cooling. This product had best reviews and is made in USA. My wife used it after her 1st TKR and it was easy to use and very effective. Using frozen water bottles it lasted overnight on the 20 on 10 off setting at level 2. If you have on level 4 it lasted 4-6 hours. Either way it lasted a lot longer than ice packs. It was simple to set and the timer was easy to use. It worked as advertised and no mechanical issues.

Details: I used frozen water bottles per their recommendation. It made it easy. I kept 2 bags with ice bottles in the freezer. So once one was thawed i would put it back in the freezer and take the other bag of frozen water bottles. I used 5 bottles instead of the max 6. It kept it cold for at least 8 hours. Probably more. But i bought 2, one for downstairs which i used during the day. The other was upstairs and i used it at night. It had good flow and was cold enough. I had bandages and a wrap around my knee and leg . I tried the small wrap for the knee but then i got the big wrap for the knee and liked it much better.

Details: The Polar Active Ice 3.0 is simple and reliable. My Active Ice has held up great through LTKR and RHR recoveries. I will use it for my upcoming RTKR recovery, although I bought a backup Polar Ice Active 3.0 as a precaution.

Details: A friend told me to get a cold therapy system for my root meniscus knee surgery, telling me I could thank her later. She also said to take the cooling pad with me to surgery for surgeon to wrap with the bandage and inside the brace. I did, and have thanked her. Being able to do consistent timed cooling throughout my first days and nights of recovery, changing ice bottles just twice per day, was a relief. I've no control of not doing that, but know pain was eased with cooling and I was able to taper off pain meds in a few days. I chose Polar Products for high ratings, and a family business with great customer service (a real person answered the phone and answered my questions when I was deciding what to buy). I ordered on their website and shipping was prompt and on time.

Details: This cooling kit did wonders in keeping my swelling under control after my TKR surgery. I especially like the consistent cold temp as opposed to ice packs that start cold and warm up. If the Game Ready machine at PT is the Porsche of cooling systems this is the Toyota of cooling. Practical, and an order of magnitude cheaper but gets the job done.

Details: I got my Active Ice machine in November of 2021 to help with my recovery from total knee replacement. It worked flawlessly using frozen water bottles plus water in the reservoir. TIP: REMOVE LABELS FROM WATER BOTTLES so the labels don't clog up the filter! I used the machine steadily for the first few weeks and kept using it after physical therapy for several more weeks. I ran the bleach solution through it, drained it thoroughly and left it exposed to drain and dry as much as possible. Stored it a long time. 18 months later, I lent it to a friend who was having TKR - it worked flawlessly for her whole recovery. Before storing it again, I did the basic maintenance and drying. This past May I had a minor knee surgery - used it for a few weeks after that - worked great! Rinsed and drained and stored.... And just a few months ago, I lent it to yet another friend who had TKR and it worked flawlessly for her recovery. Now I'm getting it ready to lend to someone else getting a new knee next month! (I live in an over 55 community - could you guess?) I think the filter finally needs to be replaced, but other than that this machine has been a life saver to me and all my friends. Highly recommend for convenience and durability. The timer is a wonderful feature. Great way to get safe cycled cold therapy. The machine comes with extra O rings which I have not needed so far. The instructions should be amended to suggest that users take the labels off water bottles before freezing them if they are using that method. I do wish it had come with a spare filter as the shipping cost for the replacement filter costs more than the filter itself.

Details: I purchased the Polar Active Ice 3.0 9-quart knee and joint cold therapy system prior to having total knee replacement. I read several reviews, and almost all were 4 to 5 stars. Along with the system, I purchased a total knee wrap. The knee wrap that came with the system worked great, but the total knee wrap fully wraps my knee in pain relieving coldness. I use frozen water bottles instead ice to keep the water cold. This allows for less work treatments. I would give the more than 5 stars if I could, and I will recommend it to anyone who needs ice therapy for pain relief.
