I Didn't Get The PRO Model
I ordered both the basic and PRO models of this as I was anxious to compare the features. This supposedly PRO model was labeled PRO from Amazon but when I opened the box, I found the basic model. So now I have two of the same model. What follows is the review I did of the basic model with the same 5 star rating. Maybe I'll be able to get the PRO model sometime and review it.________________________________________________________________________What a great leg compression device this is. As you look at the components, it's obvious how high quality the construction is. The leg pieces are made of very heavy duty vinyl, the air hoses are quite thick, the pneumatic controller is solidly constructed, and the battery in the controller can be replaced. It is clear this device is made for years of use.Getting into the device is very easy. The leg pieces can be used on either leg and you can either slip the leg piece on with or without opening the zipper - with is easier! There are 2 zippers on each leg. One opens the leg piece for easy on/off. The other exposes the air tubes - I guess for service or if they get kinked somehow. Once your legs are in, you plug the tubes into the controller - label side up. Then you're ready to operate the device. You can use it with only one leg if you wish, but make sure you plug in the included blocker plug in the other outlet to avoid pressure leakage.Mine came fully charged so I didn't have to plug the controller into AC power. To start, turn the on/off device on. A white LED will come on along with the battery power indicator. There is a push-in-and-turn knob on the front to set the pressure. The manual recommends starting with 40 and I found that good advice. The scale goes up to 100. The timer button can set 15, 30, 45, 60, or continuous operation. Then just push the on/off button and the indicator light turns green, and get ready.The air bags begin to fill starting at the bottom and working their way up. It takes a little while to reach the max pressure at first. Once the max pressure is achieved, the pressure holds for a few seconds (controllable - short, medium, long - by holding the timer button for 3 seconds) and then releases. Once released it starts again cyclically until the timer ends or you've had enough.I must say, the pressure feels really, really nice! It's great to do this while you're just watching TV or reading. I find it's a great leg relaxer before bed or when your legs are sore after a workout or a bunch of yardwork. This is a really nice device. I love the feeling.The instructions that come with this device are very good. There is a quick start manual and a very complete one. The medium size works well for me - I'm 5'7".All in all, this is a terrific device. It is high quality all the way and I believe it will last a very long time. It is not an inexpensive device, but if you can handle the cost, your legs will thank you.

Some models do not have bluetooth/app control compatability
Even though the included manual says there is an "app" available, this particular unit DOES NOT have a bluetooth transmitter. There are multiple generations of the "RecoveryAir Pro" device...seems that some have bluetooth, and some don't. The model I received (manufactured in Feb 2022) only had a RpSports company manual included, (even though the device was Therabody, Inc. branded and had a "theragun inc." shiny brochure in the booklet). User manual on Therabody website shows a different style controller with different user input buttons. This unit s/n was accepted by Therabody warranty registration. Otherwise, it works great.

Excellent air bags, full leg compression and durable air pump system
Impressive air compression massage system! I've tried several leg massage systems that are just bulky and hard to get on and off using huge hook-n-loop fasteners which made them less that appealing to use. But these whole leg massage boots are excellent!! Amazingly compact! These are way larger than any other set of leg massagers I've tried, and have a large air compressor/controller base unit, and it still came in a compact box that was way smaller than all the other leg massagers I've tried. Blew my mind how compact this large set is!Love the seamless construction of the entire leg boot! And they use zippers, not hook-n-loop (velcro) to fasten then on. So these feel more like pants than leg wraps. And you don't have to struggle to get the velcro at just the right tightness to fit your leg, calves and feet. Love how simple these are to put on and take off!! And way more comfortable than the velcro type massagers.I am 5'11" and ordered the size Medium. I probably could have gone with the size small, but didn't want them to be too tight (won't work correctly if they are too tight) and/or too short, which most items usually are too short for me - like standard pants and shirt sleeves, so I usually buy Talls. These fit very long and very loose. I was worried they wouldn't be able to compress properly as I can fit my arm in them along with my leg. But no worry, the air pump is more than adequate to inflate these boots! It has a sensor that tells the system just how much pressure it being applied to your legs - and in fact you can adjust that pressure prior to starting the unit. Start low!! I started at 20 mmHg which is very low and it was just right, any more would have been too much to start with. Your body will need to adjust to this type of treatment and you do need to be in good health - no major heart issues as this does apply pressure to your blood flow system! The air bags overlap, so no pressure loss in gaps between air bags (or gaps in the device), so you get a true gradient of pressure from toe to hip.The controller unit and battery pack comes with some pre set modes that you can select, and you can modify each of these, or select custom to do your own settings. In custom setting you can set up a 'pre-treat' mode that flushes your lymph glands if you need that treatment as well. It is a bit complicated to learn all the settings and what treatment does what. Takes time to read through the instruction manual, which is a little confusing, but you just walk through the steps and try out each setting and you will get the hang of how to set up the system, and it does have an off button and will deflate when turned off (you can always unzip the leggings if you need to escape). Like I said, start on a low mmHg setting until you know what you (and your heart) can handle. Once you learn the system then it's easy to operate and easy to put on, take off and put away. I do wish for the price, that a storage bag was included to help make putting this away quicker. I currently use a cotton pillow case as a storage bag, to keep them dust free and easy to grab.You can use one boot (and a plug is supplied to use on the air pump to close off the one side).It can be battery operated, so is portable and can be used just about anywhere, that you are able to sit with your legs up and stretched out.The boots are easy to wipe down, inside and out, as they are seamless, and even around the zipper is nice and smooth and easy to wipe. There is a side pouch with a full length zipper that contains all the air tubes that go to each air bladder, so this channel keeps all those air tubes in a super neat and protected case that blends very well into the body of the leg boots.Competitively priced for the quality within this type of full leg, zipped, air compression therapy system. May seem expensive, but compared to other low priced units - these just don't compare. The cheap units work to apply massage, but not in the same manner as this system or on the same level of compression and ability to control compression and know what mmHg level you are applying to your legs. This system is not just a simple air massage system, but a complete therapy system that does more than just massage your legs.
