Customer Reviews of HoMedics PA-100 Therapist Select Percussion Massager, Variable Speed
Customer Review: THIS MASSAGER HAS BEEN A GODSEND FOR MY WIFE AND I
Summary: 5 Stars
--> MIRACLE MASSAGER BUT LOOK-OUT BECAUSE IT CAN PINCH
Every good thing a massager can do, this unit seems to be capable of doing and well.
YES - I DO HAVE A YARN FOR YOU!
About 5 years ago, we purchased this massager when my recurring Sciatica decided to recur. My lower back and upper thigh were rather severely affected and I was unable to walk or move about or sleep. Frequently, like about 2 hours an evening, I used this massager to relieve the pressure on my sciatic nerve. Yes, it was difficult to hold onto for self-use, but it did alleviate the intensity of the severe pain, especially with the heat button turned on. This went on for about 6 weeks, but this system helped with the pain. It did not cure the problem, but pain can be very disabling in itself and for pain this massager worked where none had before.
Later I found other uses for it such as for stiff necks, shoulders and calves. It was easier to use on myself in those places and I am quite pleased overall with the purchase. Of course it does seem to be most effective when someone else handles the unit especially when you are sore or stiff because this is a rather large, cumbersome and heavy massager.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS A GREAT MASSAGER - THERE ARE STILL SOME SHORTCOMINGS
* -----> 1]- IT PINCHES RATHER FREQUENTLY ON BARE SKIN: I always have to be careful NOT to press the heads of the massager against bare skin because it will grab both frequently and painfully without warning. This is not just me, but it also happens to my wife. To prevent this, I suggest wearing a garment over the body part you intend to message.
* -----> 2]- THE POWER-CORD SEEMS TO GET TANGLED ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE IT REPEATEDLY WITHOUT UNPLUGGING THE UNIT. We discovered that we had to unplug the massager after each use to prevent the tangling. If we unplugged it, it seemed to untangle itself as long as it did not get too tangled over repeated uses. If you must untangle the wire manually, it is rather tedious especially if you have to use the messager in a hurry.
*-----> 3]- THE MESSAGER COMES WITH 3 SETS OF HEADS WHICH ARE EASILY LOST BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT THEM SECURELY OR ANY COMPARTMENT OR CARRYING CASE. To prevent losing them, I recommend keeping the heads where you are going to use them to avoid loss.
*-----> 4]- DON'T CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A POWER INVERTER: Right after I purchased this messager [some years back] I tried to use it in our van by running it off a power inverter. To our chagrin, the system stopped working on the spot. Fortunately, this happened in the parking lot where we had just bought it so we exchanged it on the spot without any problem. We won't be trying this again, despite the possible convenience.
IN THE END -----
This is by no means a perfect unit, but durable units that are also ample are rather rare. Simply stated, this system is quite ample! We have found it to be a very useful, sturdy and fairly priced massager. We have run the unit for many hundreds of hours over the past 4.5 years. Over the past ten years I have tried too many other massagers, most of which have broken and the survivors were just plain inadequate. As long as you remember that wearing a garment will save you from being pinched and never use a power inverter, you and this massager may live together a long time.
Description of HoMedics PA-100 Therapist Select Percussion Massager, Variable Speed
Homedics Highest rated brand in the insutry, Professional Percussion Massager High impact metallic finish.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
