Review on SMAUTOP Massager Compression Reflexology Arthritis by Anita Barlow

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Didn't help with my arthritis pain.

I was really hoping I would like this massager. When I received it I was so excited because this massager not only had air compression but real rollers. I wanted to like it but the truth is that every time I used it my hand felt worse than before. I bought this because I recently started a job that requires a lot of hand use. This caused the arthritis to flare up in my joints. Over time, the pain and stiffness in my hands became unbearable, prompting me to look for a shiatsu handheld massager in hopes of getting some relief. This is the second other handheld massager I've bought and also returned. The rollers combined with the lowest air pressure literally made my joints ache even more. The rollers are on the bottom of the arms and the print is on top. When the machine squeezes your hand, the reels dig into your fingers so deeply that it's quite painful and not even remotely relaxing as some reviews say. When I decided to only use the air pressure setting for the palms and wrists, the pressure on my hands was not comfortable at all! Rather, it felt like my blood pressure was being measured and I couldn't even set the time on the machine. After waiting a few weeks I decided to return the item as there was no reason to keep a $90 product that I just couldn't use.
