Is the motor powerful enough to give a good massage?

No, not really. It does feel good on the soles of your feet, but it won't do much anywhere else.

The best massager I have owned, and there have been many, is the Jeanie massager, approx $180 on Amazon. If you want an aggressive massage, it will serve the purpose well.

Yes, as it does massage and vibration. I prefer the massage personally but it can do both.

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom

It's not a massage machine, it won't massage you for any good, but I would highly recommend this machine for acne use only :)

Yes...it vibrates...however, when I saw all these options I thought it was more massage options, possibly different massages, but it basically vibrates at like 4 speeds, and you can choose the vibrating area...that's the options...mine never leaves the highest setting and the person I bought it for said it wasn't at all what they thought it would be

It has 3 (or maybe 4 since I usually operate mine at the highest setting, and not 100% sure) different settings for "vibration" the lowest being pretty mild, though I would say it's far from being not noticeable. All settings in my opinion are functional as far as delivering "good vibrations" (pun not intended) I don't think most people would think of the lowest setting as too strong or even too weak. Guess what I'm saying is, I think you will find that this massager will fit the bill in delivering enough massage action for most needs. And considering the Gold Standard for these types of massagers are a few hundred dollars, this one is well worth the money for performance delivered.

Yes, it has an electric motor that rotates the head.the massager head is about 2"wide and works good for knots in your back.

I would say yes. I'm 5'3" and can hold the massager over my head to reach my neck and shoulders and around my upper back and it's not too heavy for me to hold. It definitely feels better when my husband will do it but I use it myself most of the time. Hope that helps.

It's a kneading massage. There are cheaper ones available that vibrate, but I really don't recommend them.

Yes you can, you push the button once for the massage and if you push it twice then that is the heat also. So if you just push the button once all you get is massage

It is electric, you should be able to reach your upper back if you have no problems with your arms holding the massager. It gives very good sore muscle relief! I highly recommend it.

It is a pretty powerful massager, but I would imagine if you submitted it to enough resistance it would slow down. I haven't ever put a lot of force/pressure on it, because there is no reason to. The pulsing motion goes pretty deep with only a firm pressure; therefore, I cannot envision any advantage of putting alot of pressure on it. This is not a milk toast vibrator, but instead does go deep into the tissues. Hope this response helps.

Not it doesn't. But its a good massager. Gave it as a gift and they love it. Very powerful

Actually, I would not call it any kind of a deep massage. You can attempt to push your body into the massage pieces, to attain a little deeper effect. Overall, it gives more of a "vibration" massage. Feels good, but does not compete with a licensed massage therapist!

It does vibrate rather strongly... it is a Strong motor for such a small device. As long as it makes a smooth sounding humming noise while you shave... then it is operating Perfectly. Please Remember that After EACH use you should spray the blade with Andis Lubricant.

Very pleased with this massager.I think it would work well on your legs, I have used it on my husbands feet and his back. (His back was broken in 2 places, and the massager really helps with the pain.
