For this price, pretty good stuff.
"I don't know why there are some people complaining about this product; it gets the job done just fine if you're looking to use it innocently or for other purposes.
I personally don't find the different vibration patterns to be worth it, as the constant vibration mode hits the spot. Of course, that's all up to personal taste. One thing that was especially nice was that the vibration intensity can be set quite easily and reset by turning off and on.
The waterproofing on the product is quite decent, but the smell out of the box was so awful that I needed to test the waterproofing almost immediately. It has this strange, rubbery stink that took hours to get to a manageable level with washing and airing out, but I suppose that's just the fault of the material being stuck in a box for who knows how long. I would suggest giving the massager a couple of days out of the box just to feel comfortable using it on bare skin. Dish soap got the job done for me, but I was more aggressive about cleaning it immediately. Don't use any other cleaner, as the manufacturer specifies that soap is the only safe cleaner for the massager.
The handle being long provides significant leverage on where and how hard you can press the massager against you, which means that you have a little more control on how and where you use it. This is a big perk for me, as being able to get into knots on my back without getting the rest super sore is necessary since I do heavy lifting regularly for my work. Of course, if you're using it for other purposes, this should also serve as a big plus.
Charging is sort of weird, as Oliver James provided this seemingly proprietary charger that inserts at the bottom through a hole in the silicone. Charging is short, but the device cannot (and should not) be used while charging. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOTTOM SILICON! I've seen reviews here that say they had to break the massager to charge their device, but you can simply insert the charger without breaking anything. I believe this is to keep the whole device waterproofed, which is clever on the part of the manufacturer. Charging can only go wrong if the user does something to the device (or charger) that isn't specified in the manual. Follow the instructions.
Overall, this is a great product. It does the job as advertised and it is fairly foolproof once you skim the instructions. Of course, the odor is the biggest pitfall for the product, as I suspect it may not have been aired out before packaging to remove the manufacturing smell. If you're looking for a decent spot massager (or a "magic wand" impersonator), then this is the one."
A couple of tips
"Certainly this is not as powerful as the Hitchie wand which has a plug to work, whereas this one will only work on battery power and not when plugged in when charging so on that note it will run out of battery power probably when you are halfway done using it sometime. The first tip is to buy two of this item, charge both and use one at a time so when that crucial moment comes a in the middle of enjoying it and the battery runs out you have a backup powered unit. Tip 2 - Yes the three buttons are lame in that they are hard to find in the dark till it is on and then they light up for you to see but the way I overcome this problem in the dark is that a place a small piece of masking tape on the metal base directly below the on off buttons so I can use that as a guide in the dark to find the buttons. Granted it is still a bit tricky to turn on but very easy compared to no tape to guide you to the buttons in the dark. They reccomend using the battery till it is done to recharge for longest battery life so having two units makes that easy to do without aways replugging it in after every use. The battery power fully charged is well over a half hour when it is new but like all batteries eventually running time will become shorter."
