Takes some getting used to.
Pros:<br />Rechargable battery.<br />Strong pressure.<br />Stronger pressure.<br />Strongerest pressure.<br />If you like compression massage to your hands OMG so nice.<br />Turns itself off after 15mins.<br />Can be manually turned off.<br />3 modes focus the massage differently, but I didn't feel too much variation.<br />Heats up... sorta.<br /><br />Cons:<br />Will not function while plugged in.<br />Makes noise.  Not much, but it's kinda like "hmmmmmmmm tsssssssssssssssssssss" as it compresses and then releases the pressure.<br />Probably not good for BIG hands.  I'm a fairly average guy and it worked fine but was pretty tight.<br />Doesn't... release?  Not sure if this is a hand-size issue or not, but turning this thing off doesn't seem to release the compression of your hand.  I was still able to easily wiggle my hand out but I really felt like it would/should "tssssssssssssssssssssssssss" and release all pressure.  It doesn't.<br /><br />Verdict:<br />I can't say if this is worth the price.  I like it, and will absolutely use it again if I do some yardwork or whatever and my hands are sore/beat.  Probably a cool thing to pull out at a family get together and let some folks get a hand massage.  Certainly a cool gift idea.<br /><br />it's a bit bulky and I can only describe the "heat" as "mild".  To be fair I am not 100% sure the heating part did much of anything as my hands were already warm.  It warns it "may" leave dots on your hand that will go away.  It does.  Lots of them.<br /><br />This is probably more geared towards women or persons with smaller more dainty hands.  I do think it does it's job.
