I use the machine specifically for assisting my lymphatic drainage. I would buy this machine again.

The Freestyle is cordless and rechargeable and is smaller than the PISA and similar pumps. It even has a attachment so you can 'wear' the pump while you walk around. If you add a hands-free pumping bra you can be truly mobile. I wasn't happy with the suction level of the freestyle, I think the PISA has better suction (though I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, I just know lots of people like it). The freestyle is also very noisy and vibrates like crazy so you can't really have it up against your skin.

I've never owned one of those, but I will say this unit is way more capable of doing what you need. I still, and wont use all this machine's capabilities. Its a good constructed piece of equipment. I got two, one in my bug out bag.

the ChiSoft is easy to use. You control how much air to pump in. I found it best to use incrementally.

This has a water source located at the rear of the machine. It is removable for easy fill.

ultrasound gel is the best conductor for this type of device. it helps to glide the device, prevent zaps or burns, and helps to hydrate the skin. you should be well hydrated internally b4 tx. so drints lots of water &lt;8 to 10 glasses&gt;.

I haven't used the others so I can't compare. But I can compare it to a Medela and the spectra was much easier to clean. Milk never got in the tubes at all. And it pumped so much better and there was a lot less pain than with my medela.

I used a small electric air pump. it works really well. I use it to fill all my inflatable rafts and pool. you can buy it at any store that sells summer rafts and pools. it's so much faster this way. but be careful not to over inflate. hope this helps.

It's adjustable my wife has lymphedema from breast cancer and it works very well for moving fluid from her arm

I can't answer about the pump, but for your family member with tonsil stones, have them try using a good tongue scraper. (I use the one made by Pureline.) It may not work in their situation, but when I use a tongue scraper, I go from getting a tonsil stone once or twice every week or so down to once every several months. I wish them the best of luck, and tonsil stones can be downright painful!

It's super easy. The only thing with the tubing is to let it keep pumping after you're done to get rid of any fluid in the lines. Otherwise, that's the only issue I have with mine.

I use a handheld, portable air mattress pump. It's fast, easy to maneuver to the different valves, and small enough to take along.

It is a fine machine. One of my favorites. It works great for tall grass. It is less great for shrubs and other vegetation with stalks--the string is tough, but it breaks on hard stems. elw

I bought and used the recommended pump also but haven't used the pillow or pump for over a year. I can't remember any problems with the pump and recall that it worked alright. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This one does not seem to alternate the cells much, and I have to keep it on the lowest setting to be comfortable. I have had problems with the machine going bad after a year; however, this last purchase has lasted longer (knock on wood). I have M.S. and am comfortable using it; I sleep basically in one position all night. Also, I have not had any pressure sores, although I do sleep with a pillow between my ankles and another pillow between my knees. I will buy another when this wears out.

This machine is awesome! I have had one week and use it 2 times per day. I feel so much better. My husband is hooked on it now. We have less aches and pain, sleep better and it helps with back pain, digestion, lymphatic drainage, etc... Go to YOUTUBE and there is a review of 4-5 top machines and this one is one of them. Hope this helps.
