Fathers Day Gift Approved!
I was truly stumped on what to get my father-in-law for Father’s Day and after days of searching found this golden holy grail. My father-in-law is a mechanic and a musician and after 15 years of giving him gifts related to these two things my partner and I wanted to share something unique with him this year.The moment he unwrapped his gift it was plugged in and on his shoulders. While my wife nor I can comment on anything, but appearance, I can tell you he absolutely loved the gift. It is small enough to travel with, but the quality looked great! Morseo, we mentioned he could use it on his lower back, his legs, etc. and he did just that. It wasn’t long, before he was knocked out, leaving us stuffing our faces with cheese cubes and pretzels.With this kind of reaction, I would say the massage was fantastic and mission accomplished!

Glorious Massage Nobs, but Frustratingly Unstable
MY USE CASEI’m a practitioner of trigger point therapy after years of outdoor work that led to overuse injuries & a body literally full of knotted muscles, from the small musckes im my hands & feet, to the large muscles in my back & legs.The “percussion”style devices (like “message guns”) are extremely uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time as they vibrate the skin until it’s sensitove & itchy.As an alternative for DIY therapy, I use this device on my:- neck- back- leg- arms- hands- feetPROS- Excellent shape of the nobs–they feel amazing when you get them in the right position- Adjustable speed- Comfortable ammount of heat for 15 minutes (I always turn this off since the nobs warm up just fine from body heat during extended use)CONS- automatically turns off every 15 minutes- automatically changes the direction of rotation every 1 minute (initially helps discover what direcrion works best on different muscles, but gets annoying fast once you know what works best for you)- It always turns on w/ the default settings, instead of the last settings you used.Gets very annoying adjusting settings everytime you’re going to use it, or every 15 mins im it turns off–especially if you’re like me & always use the same settings- The shape of the device is very unstable unless you:1) hold it in place manually2) rest it against a perfectly flat surfaceOtherwise the device shifts around & gets out of position due to the small profile & unusual shape of the nobs.The nobs are perfect for massaging, but they need a wider base to not destabalize the entire device- For an effective “deep tissue” massage you need consitent pressure on the trigger point that’s causing you pain.For this reason, I prefer very slow rotation so the knotted muscles receive consitent pressure for at least 2-3 seconds.The slowest setting on this device passes the nob over the muscle for about 1 second.SUMMARYLove how it feels when you manage to get the settings dialed in & the device stabalized in place on the targeteduacle, but it’s taken a lot of effort to McGuiver ways to hold this thing in place.So far, I’ve found laying flat on a thicker yoga matt or sleeping bag works great to stabalize it, but it requires:- 2 or 3 pillows that help prop you up around the device for massages on your legs or armsOR- some creative yoga posesOR- a combination of all the aboveBUY AGAIN?Assuming it lasts at least 3 years, I’d probably buy this device again only because the nobs are a divine & healing touch on my muscles when I get the thing in the right place.However, the current design is very unstable & annoying to work w/.I’d originally hoped to use this while working feom home, but the thing ia so unstable you need to dedicate time & effort to finding & holding a position even for something as basic as the neck or back massage it’s designed to perform.I can only use this on my days off while watching some YT vids, or at night before sleep.However, even at night it’s annoying to use since it requires so much effort to find / maintain a position in which this work effectively.

Great customer service and immediate action
I had my massager for a yr and it needed to be replaced! The cover over the moving parts had worn out!I inquired and received a very quick response from Ted Cox who immediately started the process of sending me a new one!It works perfectly!Wonderful customer service!!!

Surprisingly gentle but effective massage, great for chronic tension
This isn’t at all what I expected from a shiatsu massager. Most I’ve tried in the past felt like I was being pummeled, but this one delivers strong pressure without being harsh. The massage effectiveness is impressive, and the vibration level and heat make it even better.I use it about three to four times a week, and it’s made a real difference in how my neck, shoulders, and upper back feel. The hand supports help you adjust where you place them, and the buttons located on the side of the unit allow you to easily adjust the intensity. The whole thing is simple to use. The quality of the massage is honestly amazing. It’s even been helping with my musculoskeletal vertigo, which I didn’t expect.

Mycket nöjd,Leveransen är snabb

Masaż jest skuteczny i odprężający. Używam przez cienki polar lub ręcznik ze wzgl. higienicznych, więc nie jest za intensywny, same stopnie intensywności niewiele się od siebie różnią; Grzeje odczuwalnie i przyjemnie.Masager jest spory (problem z przechowywaniem) poza tym przydałyby się trochę dłuższe paski (np. podczas masażu karku trudny dostęp do przycisków) i dlatego odejmuję gwiazdkę.Jestem zadowolona z zakupu.
