Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This is the stuff of dreams--your own personal massage assistant, on call 24/7 to relax sore, tired muscles or warm up slumbering ones. But it's no dream. This electric massager has all those virtues plus the capacity to provide steady massage at five intensity levels or work at three different rhythms (slow to relax, faster to penetrate deeply, and quick to stimulate). It can be set for hard, medium, or soft massage, and it massages with heat. All these options are available through an LED-illuminated, touch pad control panel and by changing the attachments on the dual pivoting heads that direct wave action deep into muscles. The attachments are domes of 1-3/4 inches in diameter that come in different colors (for hard, medium, soft, heat) and twist on and off. The massager is 14-3/4 inches long to reach your entire back, the head is 6 inches wide, and the power cord measures 12 feet. The massager carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Relax and enjoy, December 16, 2000

By A Customer

This is the best massager of its kind available at the price. I have compared it with models costing 5 times as much and it compares at least as well if not better than them all.

It could be made better if somehow it would perform the massage autonomously, but if you don't have a good friend or an expensive massage chair, you'll be forced to use the long handle to massage those achy muscles all by yourself.

I wanted to get the cheaper non-heated one but it was unavailable at the time of my order. These are popular units.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tension relief in the extreme, April 24, 2001

By	Amy B. King "caicosiguana" (Middletown, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you've had a very hard day at the office, and you are tense, uptight, and generally in a bad mood all around, I highly recommend this massager. As I'm one who has suffered with extreme back pain most of my life, I've found this machine a welcome respite after a long day of stationary programming. Though others may think it's a bit rough, it depends entirely on your bone structure, for I've not had any problems with it, however I know some for whom it actually bounces off the spinal column if you get too close. However, that's what the soft massage heads are for... and the lowest speed setting.

Definitely worth the money. It's helped my back pain in more ways than I can express..

1.0 out of 5 stars OUCH!!!!! IT BIT ME!!!!, June 1, 2001

By A Customer

This is the first massager my wife and I have gotten. A bad first experience. It is just plain too rough at the lowest setting. It also has a tendancy to 'bounce' all over unless you have a grip of steel.

The worst part was, this thing BIT me. It left a nice red mark on my back too.

Not recommended
