It’s a great little machine!
I’m using it as I type this review. I have had it for longer than 2 months now. It still works (yay!) and I would say this is a pretty decent device for the price. A super fancy massage chair would be better, but most of us can’t justify the price! I read a lot of the reviews on many of these portable massagers sold here on Amazon. This one stood out with a lot of very positive reviews so I went for it. I used it continuously for around 40 minutes everyday for the first few weeks I had it. I lean up against it with all my weight on my couch and just let it dig deep into my lower back and middle back area. It didn’t work for me in my car but I’m fairly short and it was just a weird angle for me. What I can say is that I think eventually the gears inside will wear out and it will need to be replaced. However it’s very affordable so that’s okay with me. If it lasts longer than 6 months I will be very pleased. Longer than that - even better! It is on a timer that I believe lasts 15 minutes. It has heat (you can turn it off also) and it has three speed settings. I think it is great for self-care OR a gift!  If you do what I did and use it for 40 minutes in the same spot letting it get deep into your tissues you will be sore the next day but I got used to it after a few days of use and the soreness subsided. That only happens now if I go a week or so without using it. I highly recommended trying it!
