MG 70 Infrared Massager

The massager arrived very quickly, so firstly, let me congratulate Amazon for a 'next day' delivery. I took some time before finally choosing this massager, principally to work on my shoulder and neck. Now it is here I'm sure it will be fine. It looks good, feels solid and comfortable and is easy to both use and guide on the body (assuming you have full functionality yourself). What I did like is that whilst the cable is fitted with a European 2-pin plug, it comes sleeved in a UK plug, so very versatile if travelling. The controls are simple and easy to use. One switch on the side allows the machine to be used with massage and heat, or simply as a massager, plus allows the machine can be switched off, a good safety precaution. A top-mounted rotating slider allows the intensity of the massage to be adjusted. To release the handle from the main body there are two push-buttons to release the handle. What I also like is that the manufacturer encloses a plastic trim piece to 'fill the hole', so the speak once the handle is detached. Over the main body of the machine is an adjustable velcro hand-strap. But - there's always a but! In photos I thought the product's body was made of aluminium and I could see that the handle detached enabling the machine to be used with or without (a bonus in itself). However, taking off the handle I find it is plastic. Also, in the absence of any labelling advising the country of origin/manufacture, I have to assume it is Germany. The heat is gentle but noticable (maybe a disappointment to someone expecting some searing rays) and works well with the massage. The machine comes with two rubberised nodules - one with a set of finger-like pimples and the other with a plain surface - for varying the massage and they simply slide over the head, which contains the infrared heat source. Rather obviously, the heat is not likely to prove much if either of the nodules is in place. I had already been in touch with the manufacturer and they can supply spares (for a charge) of the massage nodules, if required. Having used the machine several days, I can confirm, even on the lowest setting it packs a bunch with the massage (the main thing I wanted)and by varying the settings, and/or by simply increasing the handle/hand pressure to increase the intensity you can achieve whatever massage you can bear! My particular need is on my shoulder and neck and it seems effective. No great 'instant' miracle cure for my neck/shoulder (yet!). My wife loves the massager on her back too. I would suggest - and this is a personal preference - wearing a thin t-shirt if massaging, just to prevent some skin ruffling. Also, be careful massaging over the more prominent boned areas. It's very easy to cause some discomfort on boned areas and you may cause some bruising, or pain!

This is brilliant, not too hard on the body or muscles. It really helps with stiffness, aches & pains & I even use it to get the circulation going in my legs as I have irritable leg syndrome. I would recommend & would buy again

Well made product, seems to work fine, and I need a bit more time to digest its usefulness really. but inittially it seems good, and distribution was ace. and for price point not sure if a better machine would be out there as most others seem twice the price.

So glad I took the plunge and bought this. Wasn't too sure what to expect after reading the reviews but I have found this works well for my niggling aches and pains. It is a bit heavy but then these things are but despite not being very strong find it easy enough to manage with the long handle and resting it on your body. This also means that you don't have to push on to get the full effect. It is quite strong - so you wouldn't want to be doing your face or neck, unless you like the sensation of your teeth chattering. I don't seem to have as much issue with stiff shoulders and achey back since getting this.

With design cues from a distant galaxy this device is never going to impress anyone with its looks, but then I'm no watercolour myself and I work. Massage, for me, is not a lifestyle thing; it's a serious business, because I have an irreversible condition that causes my muscles, leg in particular, to bunch and spasm very painfully. I take heavy duty painkillers on a permanent basis, just to stagger through the day. My wife is a genius at helpful massage and yoga but each day, at least once, I have to spend some time working away at the affected areas. It takes me a couple of years (or less) to completely wreck an electric massager and I tried this one for several reasons: 1) it is German and therefore well-made, despite the naff appearance; it feels good in the hand and compared with other powerful machines it isn't very heavy; it is versatile enough for both close-up and distance work, meaning you can reach more or less any part of your body 2) it has a strong 22 watt motor that packs the kind of punch you need to actually achieve something; the 10 and 12 watt motors on most massagers are useless on heavy thigh muscles, for example 3) the infra red is a bonus for me in terms of soften muscle mass; to use it you discard both of the rather silly "massage head"; I think a massager without heat is rather inadequate but some don't have it 4)the shape of the massage head and both stupid clip ons is superb for attacking muscle mass in two places or even on either side; this radically speeds up the effectiveness of the massage 5) an infinitely adjustable speed/power dial is a must for any serious device; don't buy a two-speed or even ten speed; the touch you need for neck and jaw muscles is very delicate compared with the oomph you need for tight shoulders; this machine is nicely adjustable over a usefully wide range of settings Ask yourself, what do you want from a massager? Is it a toy as part of your craze for holistic fitness baloney? Or do you actually want to emerge from fifteen minutes of almost effortless assistance with softer, more subtle muscles that tingle beautifully. If so, this machine does the job without the thunderously heavy touch of the so-called "professional" devices that you really don't need unless you are a sports physio. This does the job nicely and it's good value for money, in my view.

The worse most inconvenient item I have ever used. Heavy, terribly noisy, vibrations of massager painful to hold. For a therapeutic infrared machine it claims to be, I was more uncomfortable with pain than before using. Item returned. A nightmare to use which was a very bad and disappointing experience.

kargolama: ürün neredeyse 24 saat geçmeden elime ulaştı ve paketlenmesi çok iyiydi. ürün: ürünü paketten çıkartınca infrared başlığını aradı gözüm ancak dişli masaj başlığını üzerine geçirdikleri için görememişim. ürünün boyutları ve ergonomisi çok iyi. fizyoterapist olarak ben memnun kaldım. ısıtma etkisini çok hissedemesem de sorun yok gayet güzel ve pratik bir ürün. *diğer yorumlarda kablosu ile ilgili olumsuz yazılar okumuştum bence kablosunda bir sorun yok gayet uzun ve yeterli. *medikal olarak kullanmanız gerektiğinde dikkatli olun. eğer boyunda geçmeyen ağrılarınız ve ellerinizde güçsüzlük gibi şekler olmaya başladı ise bu ürün size fayda vermez. onun için nöroloğa görünmelisiniz. *eğer sporcu ya da günlük işlerinden dolayı kas ile ilgili problemler yaşıyorsanız bu ürün tam sizlik. *yorumlarda ürünün malzeme kalitesi ile ilgili olumsuz bir yoruma da açıklık getireyim ürün kaliteli plastikten üretilmiş, herhangi bir sorun görmedim.

Sehr gutes Produkt. Ich hatte schon diesen und hab jetzt diesen verschenkt! Auch von meiner Ärztin empfohlen und mit keinem anderen Produkt vergleichbar!

It's a great machine, only issue is the company is no longer manufacturing this particular model.

The product is really good and built quality is amazing

El mejor masajeadle en su grupo de precio. Bastante potente, cómodo de usar por uno mismo y para hacer masajes a otras personas.
