I bought this massager for home use while receiving physical therapy and professional massages to address severe Piriformis Syndrome, which has affected several large muscles due to a torn meniscus in my other knee. I'm not an athlete and had never used a massage gun before. It performed well on my gluteus maximus, and although it was effective on my gluteus minimus and piriformis muscles, it was somewhat challenging to target those deeper muscles and their trigger points on my own, though still manageable. It provided relief for pain and throbbing in my upper thighs and calves, making it very helpful during use. The massager features four strength levels and is quite powerful and effective. However, the heat function took a while to warm up and wasn’t as impactful as the overall massage experience.

The main downsides are its weight and somewhat bulky design, which can make it feel top-heavy. Despite this, the strength of the massager outweighs these issues. Its size was beneficial when gliding it down my legs. After several months of use, it has provided me with welcomed immediate and long-term relief. The noise level is reasonable, making it easy to converse with others while using it. This is my first massage gun, and I would consider it a great value for the price and a solid option for anyone looking to make their first purchase.

It's slightly on the heavier side for prolonged use, but not excessively so. It performs as well as any I've used before, and the price is just right. The massager is robustly constructed.

I was impressed by the intensity and power of this product. It worked well on muscle and tissue when I avoided bony areas. However, I found it quite heavy and felt a bit awkward using it solo; after a few minutes, I needed to switch to two hands due to fatigue. While it provided some pain relief, I noticed my carpal tunnel symptoms worsened afterward. I would have returned it, but I was in the hospital and missed the return window.

The product initially arrived with a USA plug, but the seller promptly addressed my concern and issued a full refund, for which I am very thankful. The product itself is exceptional.

I've owned a similar HoMedics massager in the past and have always appreciated its quality and features. With the addition of the heat function, it takes the experience to a whole new level. This is a fantastic purchase for the price.

I really enjoy the massager; it provides a fantastic deep tissue experience. However, after nearly two months of almost daily use, the second speed stopped working, which was the only setting I used. Despite this issue, I would still recommend it because I used it extensively and have owned other Homedics massagers that have been very durable—my last one lasted about 20 years. At this price, it's worth a try, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with it.

Update: Unfortunately, the massager stopped working, and I couldn't get an exchange from Amazon since it had been over 30 days. I can no longer recommend this model; steer clear of it.

After reaching out to Homedics, they replaced the massager under the manufacturer warranty. I've been using the new one daily without any problems. I’m happy to change my previous review to a strong recommendation! This massager works great and exceeds my expectations; the vibration speed is incredible. I look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.

I received this massager based on a friend's recommendation, and I find it quite effective. The vibrating ball covers are unnecessary; the device works well without them, and the heat is more effective that way. The extra-long handle is useful for reaching difficult spots, but combined with the massager's weight, it can be cumbersome to hold for extended periods. I discovered that I could position it between my back and the sofa to keep it steady without using the handle. However, the spacing of the balls makes it difficult to target the tops of my shoulders, limiting its effectiveness for shoulder and upper back relief. While I can use one ball on my shoulder, it feels a bit awkward. I'm not sure I would purchase it again; it does perform well, but the handle is quite clumsy.
