Testimonial
Two years ago I bought a model like the JES, (Andromedical) but it cost half the money and was made in the USA. I have used it regularly. I recently bought a JES and can now give a comparison.
Design: very much the same. JES silicone bands are superior.
Engineering: The difference between a Plymouth and a Mercedes. The JES wins hands down.
Customer Service: Good luck when trying to buy parts from Andromedical. JES has been very facilitative.
The unit I bought used needed some repair and JES was great in getting me the parts right away.
Daily use: The JES gives a much snugger, tighter pull, with no slippage of the silicone bands.
The rods on the Andromedical have to be taped to keep from unscrewing during wearing, while the JES has little wrenches that allow you to tighten them down. The base of the JES is curved to fit anatomy better--more comfortable.
Conclusion: While the Andromedical seems like a bargain, save your money for a JES.
You only have one thing and one time around. The tighter pull should translate into greater growth, and yes I have seen growth (about 1/3 of what is advertised) I figure that over the years it will add up.
Hint: To avoid a sore right on the tip of the corona where the silicone band pulls, apply Hypafix tape (from medical supply store) and you will never have a problem.
