HoMedics Percussion Action Massager with Heat | Adjustable Intensity, Dual Pivoting Heads | 2 Sets Interchangeable Nodes, Heated Muscle Kneading for Back, Shoulders, Feet, Legs and Neck, White

Once I receive it and turned it on, it immediately had a spark in it, appeared burned smell and it stopped working! I tried to return or replace it but policy says no return! Very bad experience don’t buy it!!!

I originally bought this for my hip,and it didn't really help me at all on the spot but it did help my lower back. My wife has a bad spot on her back between her shoulder blades. I had her try it out and it worked out excellent on her back. So now its plugged in by her chair and not mine, I had one sorta like this years ago that was cordless but the battery just gave out one day. If you want the nice heat just remove the caps, it even says that in the book, to remove the caps for the heat. It does get warm and she uses it on the first setting, the higher speeds are just too much for her. It is heavy and bulky, but then again if ya get a smaller one, you will most likely not get the massage ya need. The handle is made so that she can put it on her back shoulder and just relax with the handle while its working. This is a must if you have any type of back pain. Just sadly for my hip which most likely needs replacement, it didn't help. Be smart and go with a plug option like this one, you will not have to worry about a battery dying on you and losing power over time. This baby just keeps going and going till you turn it off or your power goes out.

The original product was delivered with a USA plug, however the sellar resolved my query to my satisfaction and provided a quick full refund for which I am very grateful. The product is outstanding

Not working and not able to return

It is powerful. It has several speeds. Also a heat button. 2 things to be aware of. 1. The buttons are lit up blue when using. If you use at nighttime it lights up the room. Also it has a safety to turn off after 15 minutes. I guess it is good for that purpose, however 15 minutes goes fast and I know it takes longer to get knots out of my back, so shutting down can be annoying. Overall the unit is solid and sturdy and it is serving its purpose.

I purchased this as a home treatment while also undergoing PT and professional massage, to deal with severe Piriformis Syndrome affecting numerous large muscles, resulting from a torn miniscus on the alternate knee. I am not an athlete and have not used a massage gun prior to this. It worked well for gluteus maximus muscles, and while it also worked for gluteus minimus and piriformis muscles, it was a bit more difficult to get deep into those muscles or their trigger points when using it on myself, though still possible. It was helpful for pain and throbbing of upper thighs and down calves, as well, offering good relief during use. The massager offers 4 strength levels and is strong and effective. However, the heat function took quite a while to heat up and was not as effective as the overall massager itself. The biggest drawbacks are the weight of the massager and the unwieldy nature of the device owing to its overall size, making it somewhat top-heavy. Nevertheless, this would not be a deal-breaker given the strength of the massager. Its size was helpful, however, when running it down the legs, for instance. Using it for several months it offered me welcome relief at the moment and over time. The noise level is reasonable and well within what you might expect from such a device. For instance, it is no problem to hold a conversation with others while using the device. This is the first massage gun I have tried, but I would say it is a very good value for the money and a good, quality product to try as a first purchase.
