“I'm not one of those people who throws my arms around people's shoulders, proclaiming, "I love you guys!" So when I say I love this thing, I mean it. Unlike vibrating massagers that only make my skin itch, this one goes deep and untangles knots. The up-and-down motion of the head is akin to the masseuse you see on TV, pounding on someone's back with karate chop motions. It loosens up my tight shoulder muscles, which I have every day from working a nerdy job all day long in front of a computer.You can crank up the speed, but I rarely need to do that, as the low setting often yields an extra pounding if I hold it a certain way, as the head bounces off an especially knotted muscle. I've also mashed the thing into my butt, trying to get those elusive tight bands nestled deep within my luscious cheeks from sitting too long, and it does not slow down or get labored. It keeps right on cranking at the same speed. It feels reliable and solid, even after using it every night for a month.As a side note, for ladies wondering if this can double as a vibrator for those lonely nights, I would say NO. The movement on this head is percussive, meaning it whacks at you, rather than vibrating. You're likely to injure yourself trying to use it down there, unless you happen to like it really, REALLY rough.TIP: Using this on your shoulder blades can cause new cramps in the arm that's holding it. What I do is to sit with one knee bent up, then rest my arm on that. If you don't rest the gripping arm on something, it'll tire very quickly, because this massager isn't all that light. I'm not complaining about the weight though, because I'd rather have a sturdy device than a shoddy one.”
“It is easy to use and switch out the different attachments, but it is annoyingly loud, the heated attachment does not get warmer then room temperature, and most importantly its strength is very very weak and does not offer any pain relief or muscle aches.”
“Cons:I thought it would pulsate as well.. but it just vibrates.. you get what you pay for i guess... i wanted to return for another deep tissue messager that cost 125.00 but this item is Not eligible for return.. so be aware of that.. Pros:i do like the heat function”
“it lacks power, no heat at all like it says. I had it on for at least 20 minutes and nothing.. very noisy... and heavy. I cannot use it on my back alone. It did relieve some pain In my foot. I have plantar fasciitis. I have very painful heals.. this did help it. I have used it on my hip with the triad piece. the finger tip piece was too much very painful to use. only gave it a one because of the heat and the weight. very hard to use alone for that.”
