Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Three pairs of heads come with this personal massager for a choice of soft, medium, or hard percussion massage. The heads are 1-3/4-inch-diameter domes that twist on and off the heavy (about 3 pounds) power unit and pulse at 3,100 times per minute to send penetrating massage action deep into muscles. A variable-speed control offers options ranging from gentle to vigorous. To fit various body areas, the spacing between the heads can be adjusted through a range of 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches at the push of a button. The massager has a soft, ergonomic handle for a secure, comfortable grip and measures 13 inches long. That length ensures all body areas can be reached, and the 12-foot power cord permits the massager to be used a long way from a wall socket. The massager carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this massager, October 21, 2002

I brought this massager thinking that there was no way it was going to help the pain I was having in my neck and shoulder. I could barely move and after I used this I could actually turn my neck from side to side. I used the heating element and it felt great. I didn't think it was too heavy at all; especially once you are using it. Since I am a mother of 2 I don't really have time to go to a massage therapist when I have a crick in my neck, this device makes for a great alternative.

If you don't pull your hair up it can get caught up in the massager.

I'm happy I tried it.

My dad has a massager from Brookstone (called the Max I think) with a similar design but the heads travel in and out farther giving a more energetic massage. His cost $200. The Homedics one feels somewhere between a true percussion massage and a vibration massage.

The true test came after I went on a 7 hour hike. My calves were very sore. I did a 5 minute massage on them and next morning felt great. My quads, which weren't as sore and which weren't massaged, were still sore the next day. So I think this massager does what its supposed to do and isn't just a gimmick.
