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 programs
The number of individual operate programs provided for in the design of the massager.
It's important to distinguish this from massage modes (as discussed below). A single program can integrate multiple massage modes, such as vibration and infrared heating. Consequently, the count of programs may not necessarily align with the number of distinct massage types.
Anyway, the more modes, the more versatile the massager, the more ways it can be used. However such an abundance can affect the price.
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.
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.
Timer
The auto-off timer, found in various models, will automatically halt the body massager. Its functionality may either be customizable or set to a fixed duration, but in either case, it serves the purpose of clearly indicating the end of the massage session, eliminating the need for a separate timer.
Display
The presence of a
display is primarily relevant for facial massagers and allows you to more clearly see which settings are selected, which mode is set and other information.
USB charging
Possibility to charge the battery of the massager from the
USB port. Such a function is not particularly significant when used at home, but for travel it can come in handy: if necessary, the battery can be easily recharged from the
Power bank.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.
