"Great investment"
Edward A on 8/2/2024 10:41:22 AM
Details: A friend recommended I purchase a cold therapy system prior to shoulder surgery and I'm so glad I did. After doing some research I decided on this one because of it's superior features. At 16 qts. it's large enough to load it with 12 frozen water bottles which last for almost 2 days. It has a wired remote for customized settings, i.e. length of time on and off plus rate of water flow. The remote allows me to have control and not depend on someone else to adjust settings or turn the machine on or off. This unit also has wheels for easy transfer from recliner to bed. No need for anyone to pick up a cooler filled with ice and water. There are less expensive models available but this one is definitely worth every cent.

"Made my surgery vastly easier."
Larry Litwin on 5/12/2022 10:12:15 AM
Details: I recently had a full reverse shoulder replacement. My Active Ice 3.0 made keeping my shoulder properly iced so easy. We froze about 30 bottles and used them 10 at a time. The bottles could last as long as 24 hours but we decided that replacing & refreezing every 12 hours was the easiest. The best part is being able to set the on/off cycle and flow rate and forget it. I was able to take my pain meds and sleep through the worst of the pain without worrying if my shoulder's ice had run out. The surgeon wanted continuous icing for the first 24-48 hours. I couldn't have done that properly without this machine.

"Polar Products Active Ice 3.0"
Gary Stanford on 9/2/2020 11:38:31 AM
Details: A solid, quality machine, seemingly worth the price to this point in my experience with it. I would be careful with the shipping. Their estimate of 3 to 5 business days might be an overpromise-underdeliver situation, some of it under their control, some of it maybe not so much. Order early if you want it by your surgery date to avoid problems.

"Happy Customer"
Loren on 8/21/2020 11:31:04 AM
Details: I am thankful I made the decision to purchase this item. Having the timer was a game changer because I could just set it and let it go. Just had knee surgery and this was a huge help for reducing swelling and pain. Very happy with my purchase!

"Great Product as always"
Shane Burlingham on 4/10/2020 7:42:19 PM
Details: This is my second PolarProducts ice therapy machine. I needed this one because it has a telescopic handle and wheels. I was recently in a wreck on my Harley and broke off 11 ribs. This machine is helping tremendously. Tip for ice. Instead of ice cubes, double the water and add 9ea 16oz frozen water bottles. It lasts about 10 hrs.

"Great post-op use"
Victoria Truchanowicz on 1/23/2020 5:28:21 PM
Details: I purchased this product to prepare for a Bunionectomy, Plantar Strap Release Surgery, as well as double Carpal Tunnel Release surgery. I am in recovery now and great full for the machine. The ice is very long lasting as long as you make giant ice cubes in cool whip containers. I find 3 blocks of ice with the recommended water level is perfect and lasts 24 hrs! I spend the work days alone. It prevents my getting up and down to get ice packs! The bladder is great. It wraps around my foot well with the elastic/ velcro strap included. Very handy to have a remote to turn on/ off and add or reduce time the water is flowing thru the bladder. I may plan on purchasing the universal bladder in the future. It will be passed around my family for years. Everyone gets surgery eventually! Glad my surgeon told me about this machine! Worth the expense....and it is pricey!

"15 qt cooler"
Kellie Nation on 8/5/2019 4:35:40 PM
Details: Keeps ice/water cold for a good 24 hours. It was a lifesaver after my knee replacement surgery. Great product. I recommend to anyone that needs to be on ice either occasionally or continuously. The timer is great. Sometimes I needed a lot more than the 30 minutes! Fabulous product. Two thumbs up!

"Decent product"
David from Boston on 11/17/2015 12:40:04 PM
Details: I purchased the system to help me recover from shoulder surgery. The system works okay, however, the fit of the universal pad leaves something to be desired.
