The HiDow Spot is HiDow's entry-level wireless device and the cheapest way into the brand at $119.00 on HiDow's own store, with free US shipping on orders over $35. It is a round unit 2.5 inches across that snaps onto electrode gel pads, so there are no lead wires. It offers 4 modes and 20 intensity levels for TENS pain relief and EMS muscle work, and it charges by USB instead of using batteries. The box includes two gel pads, one Spartan and one Butterfly-lumbar shape for the lower back, a charging cable and a quick start guide. HiDow's own comparison chart lists it as single channel with no LCD display, and the company says it is designed only for gel pads, not its Premium Wraps. Compared with the Hollywog WiTouch Pro, it adds a rechargeable battery and EMS, but costs about twice as much and has no app.
