“This product so far has worked well for me. It's not too heavy or too intense on my shoulders and back. I bought it for the heat feature and because it is cordless. A drawback would be that I don't think the heat feature is strong enough. I can barely notice it. Otherwise it works very well and does wonders for tension in my back and shoulders. Switching the attachments is relatively simple. Battery life is impressive and it can be used while charging. I'm happy with purchase. I wish it came with a case so I don't lose/break the attachments, but that's not a dealbreaker.”
“Massager featuring a heat element is a poor description It's really just a red light not heatIt's ok as a massager I guess Unfortunately I gave this as a gift and had to apologize to the recipient who seamed disappointed but was to nice to say so I would definitely not buy it again”
“I did a lot of shopping around for a handheld massager before I came to this one, and it is hard to find units with build quality as nice as the Snailax model. I will admit that I also get an amount of amusement out of the fact that it is vaguely snail-shaped. It works very well, holds battery for a very decent length of time, although charges relatively slowly. The system for attaching heads is very simple but sturdy, and I think the overall shape of the massager is good and makes it easy to use, but is rather thick at the massaging end which almost veers toward being unwieldy. The least well-developed feature I would say is the heat function. It is very nice to be included, especially at this price-point, but it does not get warm enough to be much use in my opinion. In the end, I would say that I am very pleased with this massager, and I have recommended it to friends as I think for the price it is hard to beat.”
“I really like this massager, it definitely helped with my lower back pain and I also like that it has 4 different heads to change to suit your comfort.”
“This massager is lightweight and easy to use! My husband and I use it almost nightly. I can't imagine going to bed without it! We have a newborn so holding him sometimes causes a lot of back pain. This thing has been a life saver!”
“At this point there are a million massage tools on the market – before spending higher dollar on so-called "massage guns" which essentially do the same thing, I opted for this one as it included a heat function I thought would be nice. Maybe it doesn't have the same whistles and bells (attachments, settings, speeds etc.) as some of its "fancier" counterparts, but that is reflected in the price. The three included attachment heads are okay, but I often find myself drawn to using it without them at all. Three different speeds/intensities seem enough for me and my uses, primarily on my neck and shoulders and back. I don't know that these large muscle groups would notice the difference between what is likely a subtle change in frequency between sending number 16 and setting number 17, for example. As far as "massage modes" go the variety of "ramping up/ramping down" of vibration intensity is not something I find terribly useful. If I wanted deeper massage I press a little more, if I don't want so much I relieve pressure; that's pretty much the same thing. Again, fancier massage guns may have multiple settings that allow different frequencies or cycles of vibration, but my aches and pains are less likely to notice the difference from one setting to the next. My only disappointment was the heat aspect – the vibration is intense enough and stimulates muscles thoroughly in a way that, whatever he is being applied (if any – difficult to detect) is virtually irrelevant. My skin is warm after use but likely from the friction of rubbing it into muscles and the circulatory stimulation rushing blood to the area more than any heat element within the device itself. I gave it fairly high marks for battery life based on that I've charged it once since owning it for six weeks, but have only used it 1 to 2 times a week for about 20 minutes each. That said, it's rechargeable, so clearly there's enough time when you're not using it to charge it easily without causing much inconvenience. One downside, the charger is not USB, so, if the charger breaks you may be able to replace it with something generic, but if you need to travel with this you will need to bring its own cord and not rely on one of them that you already have with you. For me, it does the job well enough – though I'm glad I did not spend more on it. The cheapest I've seen massage guns go for is still more that I would have been willing to pay for such a device as they are strikingly similar, aside from overall shape. This does the job well enough, I wish the heating element was strong.”
