Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great kneading massager - works in the car or on your desk! Helps with back pain

This is a review of the Renpho back massager. For reference, I have a manual percussion massager, a kneading massager designed for the shoulders but can be used for the whole body, and a back massager with vibration and heating. I used the product for 4 hours and also asked family members to use it and give their feedback. Unboxing: Revain delivered the box well. I appreciate that the product box came in a larger box so there was no damage to the box and there was more padding. Unpacking was easy. This is a standard box and the item inside is padded and wrapped in plastic. The box is quite large but I tend to hide it in the garage in case I need to make a warranty claim on an item and it needs to be returned. First thoughts: I feel full of energy after the application! I didn't know what to expect but it will be great for my trip! I plan to go to different national parks and forests and the kit comes with a car adapter and a plug adapter. The device consumes 36 watts, so it doesn't drain the car battery either (however, only use it when the car is switched on, otherwise it will drain the battery like any other device). The device comes with a remote control that allows you to choose between back sections, kneading intensity (low, medium, high), butt/seat vibration level (low, medium-high), heating (on/off) and time duration (15 minutes or 20 minutes). Notice the S-shape of the massager, so all parts of my back get massaged while kneading. It also goes very far back down to the hips, that's my problem area. I was surprised how relaxed I felt after 40 minutes. However, I would like to warn that I stayed on the device for too long and was in real pain afterwards! I would stick to 30 minutes a day to avoid this. My only suggestion for future product changes is to have a pocket on the massager to put the remote control in. The cord is about 3 feet long, but I use the mug when moving around my desk from home and I've decided to just let it drag across the floor. I'm going to buy some Velcro from Amazon, fix them up in a few days and attach to the side of the massager. This is a very lightweight and portable device. You can use it in your car if you are constantly on the go, or take it from room to room if your family members want to share it. Back to my family, they all enjoyed it and said they feel a lot better. The device, while unintentional, reminds me to sit up straight at my desk. Overall I love this item! I have back pain from a car accident and it is sometimes made worse by moving heavy objects. The kneading up and down feels amazing on my back and the heat feels pretty good. I always had to manually move the shoulder/neck massager up and down my back and press it against the couch to keep it steady. This Renpho massager does all the work for me. For reference, the shoulder/neck massager cost $70. A heated vibrating massager is $50, a percussion massager is $90 ($400 brand). I would say it's great value for money and I enjoy using it. I'm also much more comfortable with my back against it. I don't hear any strange noises so it seems well built. I appreciate that the seat cushion folds down and there are straps to keep the cushion from dangling as you move it from room to room or car to car. A house. The device is also very light! If, like me, you've been working from home on a cheap office chair, you'll feel so much better! Try every 3-5 hours for 15 minutes! I've included a photo of the remote and device and a video of it in action so you can get an idea of how deep and how far it goes.
