Does this have magnets in it? Or how does it compare to a magnetic massager? I'm wondering if it's necessary to spend $126+shipping on one from promagnet.com.

I do not believe this uses any magnets. I never used a magnetic massager so I truly could not compare.

No magnets. This is a percussive massager - it rapidly "thumps" you, whereas the usual massager just vibrates against you. The different attachments change the amount of impact you feel, and you can vary the speed of thumping. I don't know of a better word to describe it than "thumping", because it's a definite singular impact felt rapidly.

Eric, there are no magnets. I would be careful when buying products that have magnets because of quality. I would talk to people and get their input.

This does not have magnets, it is a deep tissue massager. It comes with 4-5 different attachments, which allow you to go deeper and deeper. It also has a variable speed, which allows you to vary how hard you massage. I'm not sure if using magnets would help, but this works great for sore spots, especially if they are deep down under the surface.

I don't believe it does. My Chiro uses it, I liked it so much and for $40 it was an easy decision.

Definitely the magnetic combs... hands down... remember cheap is not always good... sometimes u get what you pay for....

It came with a low speed magnet. I think there are options out there to get a high speed magnet, though.

Hi Sasi, I did not try this, however I believe it wont work, because it does not move like and other massager, it only gives vibrations !

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.

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 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.

don't know cause' I only have this one......I can tell you this is worth the money if you are like me and love "hand massages"....lots lessexpensive, too....I only wish it provided more pressure than it does....I really like deep/strong pressure...still, it satisfies.....bb

Yes - the back is "magnetic" but since it is mounted in a steel frame the holding power to the rear is limited.The effectiveness of the magnetic strip is not outstanding - for your purpose go to MSC and pay $50 to $60 for a real magnetic strip tool holder which has a strong attraction - this item is far less expensive and of lesser quality.

i dont know about the box.. mine came with some other stuff i ordered.. i'd say the massager itself is probably 3-4 pounds. im just guessing though. dont have a scale. update: the listing states the shipping weight at 5 lbs, so thats probably about right.

I read on another site that the magnets are designed to provide an "acupressure" point to the skin it comes in contact with. I'm assuming that these magnets work like other wearable magnet therapy jewelry and devices, by increasing blood flow. That being said, the magnets are removable and I took mine out because I use the cups for massage as well and I didn't want the magnets poking me.

Mine did come with magnet. Still think it is one of the best deals in the market.

There are so many ways to use the thing and I'm always amazed that it has no instructions with it. Momentum 98 has a lot of "how to use" on their product page. We all had to figure it out by trial and error. Take a look. It's a massage supply store in Columbus, Ohio.

I was not familiar with the electromagnetism kit. I bought my grandson the extreme kit last year and he loved it. I read the description on the electromagnetism and they don't appear to be similar. The kit you are asking about deals with light, sound, am radio, etc. The electromagnetism kit deals with magnets and from reading the reviews it appears a lot of people were disappointed. I don't think I would purchase it after reading the reviews, but I highly recommend the extreme SC-750 kit.

Don't know, because I am not familiar with the referenced massage device. I am, however, very happy with the Iliving ILG-916 device I have.

No magnets but good quality weighty material. In our use of it found not necessary. Totally happy with it and we are fussy people who value quality Dr B

mine did not come with a rare earth magnet, just a large and rather disappointing black magnet. i found a four pack of rare earth magnets for $5 here on amazon and they are a LOT more fun to play with and will allow the 'snake charmer' trick to happen.

Well, I suppose it depends on where you want to insert it. The head is roughly the size of a tennis ball. Personally, I use wand-type massagers like this externally, or to add a little extra "BUZZ" to an already inserted toy. But if you want my honest opinion about this product, spend a few more bucks and get a Hitachi Magic Wand. It's higher quality and more powerful. I wouldn't insert it into my body though.
