I suspect both the Bluetooth and the LCD touchscreen consume more power and it is possible the battery is smaller too although I didn't confirm this with Normatec.Ĭonnectivity - The Pulse 2.0 has added Bluetooth connectivityĪt first I balked at the idea of Bluetooth, but I must admit it is strangely convenient to use once setup. The Pulse 2.0 was tested with the Bluetooth on and I received 2 hours of continuous battery as opposed to ~3 hours with the original Pulse. I put the battery under the same testing that I did for the original Pulse which consists of continuous run at pressure level 5. The touchscreen does not provide any additional functionality and I actually preferred the larger tactile buttons of the original Pulse.īattery Life - Battery life has decreased from about 3 hours down to 2 hours

In addition, you can also control the device via Bluetooth and an app that is available for Android and iOS devices. The buttons are no longer tactile buttons but are faux tactile buttons that use a touchscreen. The Normatec Pulse 2.0 maintains the exact same user interface as the original Pulse except the Pulse 2.0 has smaller buttons that are inline with the smaller device size. Useability - The Pulse 2.0 has a new LCD touchscreen In addition, you can save $65 with your 5% off Amazon Prime Visa card. Normatec has moved the price down even further with the Pulse 2.0 all the way to $1295. While the original Pulse debuted at $1695, the price was more recently lowered to $1495. However, I must admit it is hard to tell from a direct photo comparison (see above) and Normatec's own illustration greatly exaggerates the size difference.
The smaller size is also nice for traveling. Although the original Pulse can be operated with one hand, a smaller and lighter device always makes it even easier to handle and that is a nice feature. It is hard to argue with a device that is claimed to be 27% smaller (not verified) and 6oz lighter (I verified this) than its predecessor. Size & Weight - The Pulse 2.0 is 27% smaller and 6oz lighter Little Bit of an exaggeration on size between With that being said, let's compare the two units. Note, if the regular leg system is out of stock consider the hips + legs, Normatec offers a 14-day return window (restocking fee applies) thru their own website and I did not test the generosity of their direct return process. In addition, you save 5% if you are an Amazon Prime Visa card holder.

This way you have 30 full days to use the system and make sure you aren't having the same zipper problems before your Amazon return window closes. In the meantime, I highly suggest making your purchase thru Amazon if you want to purchase the Pulse 2.0 system. I have reached out for comment but have received none.

With that being said, I will update this review when I get confirmation the issue has been either fixed or was an isolated incident. I am not sure if this issue is unique to me, or maybe it was the first couple of batches and it is now corrected, but my legs consistently had the zippers jamming making for late night frustrations as I tried to clear the jam. While the Normatec Pulse 2.0 system is a very nice device with some nice features and upgrades that I will go over, I did have some problems with the legs.

With that being said, Normatec claims that 97% of all professional sport teams are using Normatec.Īs for the Normatec Pulse 2.0 system, my recommendation is on hold for now. Ultimately access to recovery shouldn't be afforded to the super rich and Air Relax and Speed Hound make a great affordable alternative. Simply put, competition is good for consumers and while I do appreciate the lower price point and smaller size, it is still hard for me to ignore less expensive brands. Rapid expansion by less expensive brands like Speed Hound and Air Relax have now forced Normatec to get more lean and efficient. However, the pressure has never been higher for Normatec. In addition, they have included new features like Bluetooth connectivity which some will highly value. To see it shrink in price and size again for the Pulse 2.0 is truly impressive in a day of age where many companies are pushing back and increasing prices. To watch the Normatec MVP shrink in size and price to the Normatec Pulse has been amazing. I am hard on it because I want to see them produce the best product they can and at the best price for consumers. However, as the highest price unit on the market I am like a tough-love parent and expect nothing but the best. I'm just going to come out and say it, I have always been a fan of the Normatec Pulse system. The Normatec Pulse 2.0 recovery compression boot system is here and today I'll review it and see how it stacks up against its predecessor, the Normatec Pulse.
