I tried out a bunch of similar devices at a local Fry's before deciding on this one. It was easily the best of the bunch...the other massagers just don't feel as good as this one. I recommended it to a co-worker and she loves it as well. You won't be disappointed with this one!

My chiropracter uses this massager in her practice. It felt so wonderful for my low back pain that I just had to have one for home. I don't know if I'll ever use all the bells and whistles but the programmable massage and heat applications may be just the thing someday.
The only negative is the overall weight of 5 pounds which makes it difficult to self-apply. The massager seems sturdy and well designed otherwise.

My husband and I always have tremendous stress knots in our upper back, shoulders, and neck area. We received this massager as a wedding gift, and we love it! The percussion action is much better than the tame vibrating of most of the other massagers out there. I would highly reccommend this product to anyone who likes to get a real pounding massage! :)

With enough stress knots as I have you can't get them worked out with the usual massagers that have the motor of an electric shaver. Sometimes my masseuse can't even get to them. You have to be pretty strong. This massager is the best one thus far! And trust me I look pretty hard. This little bugger has the strength of a 250 pound masseur! I have yet to find anything stronger. It has a long handle so that if you are massaging your back 'a mano' then you can reach any part. I'll never go without it!

I too have fibromyalgia (FM) and my husband uses the HoMedics Massagers every night on the knots which build up due to the FM. Our massagers have not lasted the two years for which they are guaranteed. I am not sure they are meant for every day usage. This time I will have to try a professional model to see if it can withstand the usage.

I use a percussive massager daily, on the order of two or three fifteen-minute sessions each and every day. I've had a number of massagers now. At least four Homedics. I stopped buying them. They simply will not stand up to that kind of duty cycle. Only one made it past four months before becoming so weak, it was more irritating than helpful. They work okay when new, unless you've tried real pro models.

The ones that work weigh a LOT more -- and last about two years. They're typically around a hundred dollars and you can buy them from catalogs that cater to upmarket gadgeteers, such as Sharper Image. When in doubt, ask the weight. Heavier ones last a LOT longer.

If you want recommendations on massagers, look at user groups for people with fibromyalgia. Many people with this condition use these daily and know what lasts.

Powerful enough. Wonderful. The heat didn't make a whole lot of difference for me.... neither did the multiple heads of the device. It was wonderful. It really got out some pretty good built up tension.

The heads rotate and can get closer or farther appart. The speeds change. Each different setting getting a different set of muscles.

Lovely

Yes, this is the massager to get! The POWERFUL multi-level pulsation is nothing less then orgasmic. Add the heat control option (which actually heats up to a comfortable warm) and you're simply in heaven. I like that I'm in control and can direct it to where I need, when I need it -- anytime! This baby is the next best thing to having a real hands-on massage - it's the best!

This massager really disappointed me. It's very hard to handle for more than a few minutes, as it's handle is not shaped well for hands. Worst of all, it is VERY heavy. I have large, strong hands, so I didn't expect that to be a problem.
It is also very loud. Maybe I can sell it!

This is no cheap little vibrating stick. This is an industrial massager and it not for the faint of heart. The weight is definetely a drawback so I recommend having someone to share massages with. Honestly when I got my first massage with this thing I found myself drooling after 5 minutes. You cannot beat this massager and it is good for entire body massages from your feet to your neck. I just can't believe I didn't have this like 10 years ago! I couldn't be without it now!
