You've probably seen the ads, with promises of products erasing pain at the click of a button or being the easiest way to get fit. There are also ‘free’ gifts or ‘buy one get one free’ deals. But are these products any good? And how easy is it to return one?
The Pain Erazor Pro is a small battery-powered device that gives tiny shocks claimed to relieve chronic and acute pain. It’s priced at $159.99 on a ‘buy one get one free’ deal.

Our advice is to think twice before buying from the TV Shop. Don’t rely on reviews promoted on its website. If you want to try a product, read the full terms and conditions, including the return policy, before committing. A 30-day money-back guarantee doesn’t always apply, but you might just need it.
