Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TESMED Absolute is the £101 belt at the top of this guide and the most expensive of the abdominal EMS belts compared here. It is also the one whose numbers hold together. Its listing claims 99 intensity levels, separately adjustable for central and lateral abdominals, and 15 programs; the style field in its own specification table reads "Absolute 15 programs", so two parts of the same page say the same thing. That is not true of every listing in this guide, where mode and intensity counts of 8, 18, 19, 32, 11, 12 and 24 can all appear on one product page.
What the page does not explain is a specification row reading "Guaranteed software updates until: unknown" — a field with no obvious meaning for a wireless, gel-free abdominal belt, and it gives no date either way. Review volume is not this belt's selling point: 1,643 ratings at 4.2 out of 5, against 2,640 for the £54.99 belt further down. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the TESMED Absolute, not from any test we ran.
How those 1,643 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
