Has anyone tried one of the recent homedics massagers? I tried two of them and find them insufficient and need more power.

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

I like mine. I previously owned the more expensive of the Thumper brand massagers & it was more powerful, but this one is quite powerful & I really like deep tissue massage , so if it was just a tickle I would know & be quite disappointed ( & thus would have returned it).

I would contact Homedics web site about the adaptor as I had to get e refund on the one I had for only 30 days. I never got another one. Sorry I couldn't be as much help.

It really depends on your preference and on the type of massage you need or want as far as to what massage head you decide will work for you. You will have to purchase the product and then try out what will meet your needs. I have been very impress with the product since my purchase of it and have used all three massage heads. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I do not have the massage table at home right now to weigh, but I would say it's pretty heavy! We have only moved it around our home which has been fine. This week I took it to a clients home and struggled lifting it for any good distance. I actually left it there for the course of her 4 sessions because I dreaded carrying it. Sorry I can't get more specific.

Really? oh well to each his own. The thing is heavy for starters and designed to sit on the floor. I would suggest to look at other massagers designed for use in bed.

I got one months ago and didnt work either. actually, right this afternoon I took it to another technician in hopes of getting it working, as is, the old roginal touch, which was whacked out of control, still works better than this generic thing. the seller would not help me out either. terrible.

If your massager draws significantly less than 150 watts of power, about 1.25 amps, then you can use this inverter. If your massager draws close to this or more, then I would recommend that you purchase a much higher wattage inverter, for reliability sake.

Cannot compare directly to the HHP-350 massager as I have not used that. But the Dr Franklyns Deep tissue massager we do have has an intense, deep, strong massage effect. In fact my wife has me turn down the intensity when I massage her neck or back as she feels it is bruising her. That's all I know.

Is there a time limit to the massage (machine turns off > 15 min)? And can you lie on this in a bed for a mid-back massage? Has anyone used the unit daily for ~ a year and had it stand up to the daily usage? Thanks.

I bought HoMedics MCS for my husband, he really enjoys this device, and it seems to give him a good massage.

Hello. The device actually has its own AC/DC converter since the massager was designed to also work in a car which has a low voltage DC source. You will likely have to get an adapter for the prongs but the input range for the voltage is between 110-240 VAC at 50/60Hz. I believe that India supplies 220VAC at 50Hz so the massager will function just fine without the need of a power converter.

I think you are right about thumping power. if they don't pound hard enough you don't get deep tissue action and pushing down on the massager just over works the motor.

Nope. Sorry. However, my last very expensive one did--along with about half a kazillion variations--and I found I didn't use them. Given that there were all sorts of other massaging items around my house, the shower turned out to be naught but a place to get clean and occasionally wash out a rug. Good luck with your search. (Personally, I prefer a nice relaxing soak in a Jacuzzi style tub... easier to sip a hot chocolate laced with some Bailey's Irish Creme that way and let the tub do the work while I just sit there.)

not any louder than any other massager I have used. however, I didn't keep this massager as it was too small and didn't help my neck much. I ended up buying a professional massager instead. I bought a Homedics Model PA1100A which is a professional percussion massager that many chiropractors use. The new one gives me a better massage and gets the circulation going to my neck which has been injured in four whiplash injuries. Hope this helps.

No, however, it is an excellent massage product. I was hesitant about the price, but after using it several times, I knew it was well worth the money.The lumbar support is excellent and the massage with heat is wonderful, but the side compression offers more than I have ever experienced. I use mine everyday in my vehicle. It operates on 120V only, so I bought a power inverter to use when I take a break from driving.

I returned this as it did not work as well several other massage aids that I had bought.

I tested a MK-9140 today at a store. Looks identical. Salesman said it was a brand new model. One caveat: though the model was the MK-9140, it was sold under the iLiving brand name, not Massage King.
