Review: Product good, but requires a 5v=2A charger, which is NOT
included, and not stated in description - re: the charger. I
THOUGHT I had read through the items included, but it seems I'm
not smart enough to realize that I have to buy something
additional to use this massager. Never owned a cell phone, so
this equipment isn't on hand. Massager CAN be charged through my
laptop, but I would prefer to be able to charge this through an
electrical outlet...as the laptop isn't always with me. ***
Massager charging & use is a bit confusing, as the 'hot/cold'
implement requires separate charging, and this isn't stated in
the instruction manual. Hot/Cold implement charging is explained
on a separate card, and the charging for the hot/cold tool takes
about 30 minutes, compared to the 3 1/2 hours for first-time
charging of the massager. Implements (using the lowest setting,
and first charge-up & use was Tuesday, 2025.02.26, afternoon): 1)
The hard plastic silver one is almost like a jack-hammer; not
bad, just intense...but probably very useful in some situations.
2) The ball-shaped one, with the non-smooth texture, should be
probably used on top of a non-shedding fabric, rather than
directly on skin. I did both things, and the texture of the ball
is such that it picks up dry skin flecks, so it's also going to
be picking up any oil or moisturizer on your skin. (This one
isn't going to be easily cleaned, since it's not must a matter of
a good rub with a cloth & some alcohol to get those skin flecks &
oil off the surface.) This one is very soothing, and I think I
will be using this one a lot...which is why I want to be able to
keep this tool clean. 3) The LARGER, rubber flat-head tool is
gentler than the silver-colored & smaller flat-top. This tool is
ALSO a slightly absorbent rubber (not hard rubber) but it will be
a lot easier to clean than the 'round ball' tool. (This tool
might also be a candidate for working on top of non-shedding
fabric.) 4&5) The bullet-head and goal-post tools are both hard
plastic, so easily cleaned, but the are DECEPTIVE. These two are
GENTLER, and they are the two I ended up using the most for my
upper arm (biceps area), which has been rather angry for about a
week, and which I 'finger-tip-bruised' MYSELF while trying to
find the trouble / knots, after applying WHAT I THOUGHT was
gentle pressure, 2 days ago. THESE TWO TOOLS WERE THE ONES I USED
FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, although there was no evident
improvement in bruises OR pain...UNTIL I WOKE UP THIS MORNING;
the bruises are almost gone, and I can actually move my
arm...EVEN TO THE BACK. *** TL/DR, as they say on reddit: I
bought this on recommendation, and also because of a 'sale'
price...and now I'm going to order another one, for my massage
therapists friend in Manhattan Chinatown...for his use at his
studio. He's is knowledgeable & gifted...but he's also working
12-hour days (2-3 times per week) & 7 days per week, and this is
the machine he has at home for himself...so buying him one of
these could help him out. It's not easy getting old, unless you
can move your body, and now I have another tool in my toolkit.
Review: WORTH EVERY PENNY!! - my boyfriend and i got this for our
family since we all have a terrible case of restless legs, back
pain, migraines, you name it. THIS HAS SAVED OUR LIVES!!! it’s
relaxing, the heated tip sure heats and cools, every
interchangeable head is high quality and does its job! the
carrying case is a LIFE SAVER and i love that it comes with two
replacement pieces for the locking mechanism on the heads and
that the machine itself isn’t a heavy brick, but is sable! better
than any massage gun i’ve used!!
