There are some unofficial pages discussing Quell relief in point of view of business, technology, or healthcare. In their articles, it seems they use promotional rhetoric, without mentioning no scientificaly verified information. For example [http://www.humavox.com/blog/wearable-week-quell-pain-relief-wearable/ here] in the article "Wearable of the Week: Quell Drug-Free Pain Relief Wearable" on Humavox).
MedGadget's conclusion is that "''We unfortunately failed to find significant pain relief after using this $250 device for a few weeks, but much more testing is needed before we can come to a definite conclusion.''"<ref>Hands-on with Quell Wearable Pain Relief Device: http://www.medgadget.com/2015/08/hands-on-with-quell-wearable-pain-relief-device.html, (Retrieved Dec 15, 2015)</ref> However, MedGadget does not provide any specific data to support their claims about the disadvantages.
Besides another official presentation, many individual users share their experiences with the device on their blogs or Facebook posts, comments, ratings etc. Blog-contributors describe using Quell mostly as positive experience. People are not satisfied with are unincluded insurance, hardly avalailable information, or expensive electrode which needs to be changed more than it is officially stated and other inconsistencies. For example user claims "...''the replacement electrodes cost $30 for 2 ($15 each) and each one is supposed to last 2 weeks, however, I used my first one for exactly 4 weeks before it stopped working as well.''"<ref>Comment placed by Gina McNabb, in: http://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2015/7/22/wear-tear-care-the-quell-pain-relief-device, 12/8/2015</ref>
Only health issue found was nausea, although pacient claimed pain reduction (see picture below) - this claim is actually the only one which neither Quell site, nor dr. Shai Gozani has responded to. However, there's no evidence if it is really side-effect of Quell usage.
People also comment intensity of pain reduction. Results may vary from fully satisfying treatment over partial improvement to no advances in pain relief at all. (see pictures from the youtube chat<ref>Quell Wearable Pain Relief For Sciatica Review And Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHI7PSxXbSw, 7. 7. 2015</ref>)
