Power
The rated power of a massager is more of a reference than a practical concern for most users. Generally, massagers consume less than 80 watts, with higher ratings, up to 400 watts, observed in specific chair cover models that heavily rely on extensive infrared heating. However, power consumption is usually not a significant factor, especially for models powered by a household outlet. Manufacturers carefully select power levels to ensure the effective performance of claimed functions and modes. When choosing a massager, it's more practical to focus on other relevant aspects rather than getting overly concerned about power ratings.
Number of speeds
The number of speeds provided in the design of the massager.
The higher the speed, the more intense the impact; conversely, gentle massage is usually performed at low speeds. The presence of several speeds allows you to choose the best option for a particular task.
Number of nozzles
The number of nozzles supplied with the massager.
Different nozzles can be used both for different types of massage, and for separate varieties of the same type (for example, nozzles for delicate, regular and intensive vibration massage). The more nozzles in the kit, the wider the possibilities of the massager. However, it is worth remembering that the specific set of these features may be different, it should be clarified in advance before buying.
Also note that nozzles can be sold separately.
Application
Parts of the body for which massager is intended.
While primarily linked to the massager type (as discussed earlier), the effectiveness of these devices can vary significantly based on factors such as modes and attachments. It's crucial to adhere to the specifications and guidelines for use, as even similar-looking models may differ in their intended applications. Using a massager in a manner not specified in the manual, even if permissible for a similar model, can result in various unpleasant consequences, including potential injuries.
Now on the market there are massagers for almost any part of the body, namely:
eyes,
face,
head,
neck,
shoulders,
arms,
back,
chest,
abdomen,
hips,
calves,
feet.
Operating time
The massager's average continuous operation time on its autonomous power source, without the need for recharging or battery replacement, is particularly crucial for situations where recharging or battery changes are not feasible, such as extended trips.
Charging time
Time to fully (from 0 to 100%) charge the massager battery. For rare cases of using the model, the charging time is not so relevant, but for everyday use, it is better to choose devices with fast charging.
