Customer Reviews

very powerful massager
I have a few massagers at home, some supposedly powerful ones recommended by different friends/relatives. I suffer with a chronic excruciating pain on my upper left shoulder between backbone and shoulderblade which affects the use of my left hand somewhat. After trying my many massagers and not getting any relief, I decided (after reading the reviews on this massager) to get this one especially with Amazon having the best price on it. OMG what a shock when I took this monster out of the box. It was beautifully heavy, I told myself I don't need to bother my entire family anymore to massage my shoulder. I thought to myself if this baby performs as good as it feels, I would be in business. Well, long story short, it did and also exceeded my expectations, I did not even know they made massagers this powerful. Its like being in a huge massage machine vibrating on my back - hmmm massage heaven indeed. I felt this thing under my muscles actually touching that spot deep inside my shoulder blade. You know, just buy the thing and get it over with, you will never regret this purchase.

Both prior reviews are true
As a slim woman, I find this heavy, awkward and hard on the bones. That being said, it also immediately eliminated a tight shoulder that has been nagging me for a few days, requiring periodic doses of NSAIDs. Unless someone has a better, comparably priced, massager out there, I'd rather struggle with this periodically than take drugs or pay for massages.

While it won't help with the heavy and awkward, perhaps the solution for someone thin is to use it while wearing a thick fleece or light insulated jacket - in essence, giving your poor ole bones some padding.

I can't imagine who could use this on high on their back unless they were VERY well padded!

Good quality
I just received the product and have been using it over the passed week. I can't comment on the durability but I am quite please with the power. I always like strong massage so I hope it to be even more powerful and comes with a 12 ft cord. For the cord length that comes with it, you can not use on a large bed, you would need to use it on a sofa that is close to a wall outlet. Quite happy with the product.
