This product is solid. I also have a thumper lower body massager which is an absolutely an incredible machine, especially as to what it does to your circulatory systematic lymph nodes. This single sphere massager I have found indispensable. Although it says not to use it on the head and neck, my favorite experience has to massage my inner ears and jaw. It is an extraordinarly powerful hand held massager so one can not do this by placing it directly in your face. I place my hand on my face, jaw, and ears and use the massager over my hand. I have never experienced anything like it. I can actually feel this vibrating warmth as liquid circulates and runs through these areas. It feels like the most beautiful and powerful inner ear massage, after which my entire balance has been reset. In my jaw I have released years of tension build up, it offers a deep strong pulse that once can utilize to pierce deeply rooted muscle tension. Read more
This is the exact same model that many chiropractors that I know use. Seems rugged and well-made. The settings range enough from low-mid back or legs work to more sensitive work around the neck and will certainly help get the muscles loosened after a day in the garden. The cord is quite long and I haven't found the need for an extension cord. Read more
I loved the first time I bought this product. so much so that I used it to the point beyond repair. Having re-ordered this tool a second time at a slightly higher price I find it comes to me with flaws the first model did not have. Namely it's made of cheaper material that I don't expect will last as Long as the first model I bout some 4 years ago. The power is diminished. The machine is lighter and skittered across the area You place it in and is somewhat hard to control on harder to reach places. The plastic is not as strong and the first - the shell feels like it might last till the end of the year. I will at that time have to find a new solution to my aches and pains Read more
I got this because it is the one that my Chiropractor uses on me. I enjoy having one at home for when my muscles are super sore. it has different speeds available that you can choose the best one for your personal preference. It is so easy to use that my boys will even hold it and move it on my back when I need. Read more
This massager was recommended by my Chiropractor for use on my leg. This worked great for me and Amazon was the cheapest price that I found. Read more
The "Thumper" part of the massager cracked after 2 months and self-destructed after 5. I'm past the refund or replace time so I'm hoping the manufacturer will back a product that fails after less than 6 months of normal use. This item was never dropped or abused. Just used normally. Inspect Thumper carefully if you buy this item. Read more
It is a solidly built massager and I expect it to last a long time but anything less than 4 of 5 on the wheel and the massager bogs down and quits. Also even the sharpest of tips doesnt seem to get very deep. Overall better than the cheap options I have used but not worth full price on a working class salary. Read more
Very easy to use. It is a great value. I used it on pulled back muscles after having borrowed a Thumper Mini Pro. Both have done all that I could hope for. The choice of Verve was simply because I can use it myself without bothering anyone. Read more
