Best Electric Back Massagers Buying Guide
Before choosing the best electric back massager you should consider following options:
1. Battery-Powered or Corded: Corded units are generally more powerful and durable, but they also tend to be heavier and less portable. Battery-powered back massagers tend to be lighter and more portable, but they aren’t as powerful or long-lasting.
2. Speed Settings: Some back massagers are designed to simply vibrate, while others have adjustable speed settings. If you want more control over the intensity, go for a model with adjustable settings.
3. Wave Form: T-wave back massagers use radial vibrations to target muscle knots and relieve tension. S-wave back massagers focus their vibrations on the edges of muscles and therefore feel gentler on the skin.
4. Rollers: Not all back massagers have rollers, but if your model does, make sure they’re easy to use and that there are enough of them for your body.
5. Heat Function: Heat is a great way to relieve muscle aches and pains, and back massagers with a heat function will enhance your relaxation even more.
6. Additional Features: Look for other features that might appeal to you, such as timers, automatic shutoff, or waterproof options.
7. Warranty: Look at how long the warranty is and what it covers. The longer and more comprehensive the warranty, the more confidence the manufacturer has in their product.
