Is this a vibrating massager or a percussion massager?

It's vibrating and the only difference between this one and the one that doesn't say "professional" are the attachments.

I would say it's both. It has two "speed" settings that alter the feeling. One setting will be stronger percussion at a slow frequency. The other setting is a bit softer but a much higher speed. So... hope this helps. You end up playing between the two settings, based on your current mood

Vibrating. This was used on me at a salon and I wanted one but they were out so I bought mine here. They suggested that it's easier to use over a thin piece of clothing but I found it to be better used on bare skin. I have severe back pain (3 spine surgeries) and this does wonders in helping to relieve the kinked up muscles I get and helps me to fall asleep. Hope I've helped!

This is an old-fashioned vibrating massager. Wahl is an old name in vibrators and this model was one of the first and still one of the best.

Not at all. It's a low vibrating sound, it isn't loud. It works wonders with tense muscles. I love it, and I ordered a second one for my dad.

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

It makes a fairly audible rhythmic thumping sound. Could easily be heard by nearby cube dwellers. Also, this thing is quite aggressive, not for a soothing massage but more like someone drumming on your neck with their fists.

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

Its not noticeable, i wish it vibrated a little harder on the side that massages

This massager has several speeds and three different heads so the intensity of the vibration to me feels like it is sort of tapping, depending on what part of the body you have it on, and which head you're using. This is a very good massager, very intense vibration even on low setting, the best massager I have owned, I hope this helps

Hi there , no this is not electric . It uses no batteries etc. it is a hand held massager like instrument. It is used all over face and body to increase circulation , plump up the skin and work the muscles if the face. It feels great. It's gentle enough but feels like it's working.

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.

Vibration. This seat has various modes, speeds and intensities, so as far as vibration car massagers go, this is a decent one. I've had them with the massagers right down the middle which aggravated my spine. My only dislike with this one is that the two leg massagers poked into my legs and were uncomfortable, but I was able to fold the bottom cushion behind the back cushion and use it as extra lumbar support. Hope this helps.

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.

The one that I received just vibrates. It does not go up and down. Useless.

The main part of the massager is made of hard plastic and the inside knob under the white part is also hard plastic and when turned on, the two peices of hard plastic are hitting each other causing a loud noise. You can hold the massager in one spot with some pressure and it will stop making the noise but after a few second of firm holding, your hand begins to get sore. Overall if you were using it on your foot, you can tolerate the noise but if you use it on your shoulders or neck (anything close to your ear) its a bit too much.

VIBRATING, with some setting adjustments that you can make it can pulse to different areas. But it is only vibrating and heating. I've used it occasionally to relieve some lower back pain with just that area vibrating and heating. beyond that it only dimly rattles my teeth.

The Mini Pro 2 is the latest version of the Mini Pro massager by Thumper.The earlier version is not available any longer.

The vibration is transmitted from the unit though your hand to whatever part of the body you are massaging. So I guess by extension I guess it does massage your hand too. This is a strong unit, much stronger than the other massage units that work on batteries. To get a true massage on your hand, you could put the unit on one hand and actually massage the other hand. Hope this helps.
