RENPHO Rechargeable Handheld Back Massager, Cordless Electric Neck Massage Tool for Shoulder, Foot, Leg, Calf, Christmas Birthday Gifts for Women and Men

Very good massager. Slightly updated version of the same Renpho massager that I've had for 4 or 5 years. A little more streamlined design, a little difference in the charging station but same controls, feel and effective massaging action. Chose this massager when i wanted another one because I'm so pleased with the original one. Original has great battery life and hopefully this one will also.

I have purchased this more than once over the years, and I’m always pleased. This design works better than a massage gun as you are better able to reach your feet, back, and any other part with ease. CAUTION: I have been using it for years on my head and face when I have a headache but didn’t realize the danger until this last purchase which stated in the instructions to not use it on the head (with no further explanation), so I looked it up on the Internet, and it said it could damage small blood vessels near bony areas and cause stroke. You would be surprised to know how much tension you carry in your face—just use caution around bony prominences like around the eyes. Enjoy!

I’ve had 3 of these. My most recent lasted the shortest amount of time. I have had it 3 months and it’s not working right, power is less and it’s making weird sounds. It’s great when it’s working . My last one lasted over 2 yrs with no issues. The first one had something happen where it got really loud right away and customer service was great and replaced it. Over all I love it just wish I didn’t have to get a new one after three months.

I bought this Renpho handheld massage device for my auntie and she love it so much that she will be recommending to her church ladies friends. It helps her sleep well at night, she couldn’t stop thanking me for a wonderful Christmas gift.

UPDATE: I got this 4 days ago and have used it every day. It was great and I really was impressed, but this morning while using it the device stopped. I thought must be the battery needs charged, I went to plug it in and it made a buzzing noise and the light did not come on. I tried plugging it in a few times, but it just made a buzzing noise. The device would not turn on. I did a return and they are sending me a free replacement. I will give it another try, hopefully it is just this one that was defective. -- I have never had a massage machine like this before and started looking for one. I like this one as it has a long handle and is easy to use myself. The other models would be I think better if someone else is using it on you (the best way to have massage), but when you are home alone this is really ideal! It would work fine too if someone else used it to give you a massage, but I got this looking for one I could use on my own. I have tried the extra attachments, but other than the half circle one for my calves I only like to use the half circle attachment. It really works best I think for everything. This is easy to use on the bottom and side of your feet (very relaxing). Also, on your low and upper back and the sides of your legs. For the back of my calves I do use the half u circle attachment as it works best. The battery came charged and I was able to use it out of the box right away. I charged it to be fully charged, but not sure I needed to. I can use it for 20 minutes and there is plenty of power left to use it again. I liked it so much I bought one for a gift already and I do think I will buy another one to give as a gift again. For the price and how great this is to use -- it really is a great gift to give others that makes a impression and is affordable.

Updated 11-17-25. Only use the recharging cord given, i lost mine used a similar cord to charge and burnt up the motor! Great massager! Had for a very long time with no problems. Helped get out back knots, helped with my sciatica pain, lower back pain, and whatever other pain I was having. Really nice handle so you can reach your back on your own and don't have to have someone help you. I don't leave very many reviews either. Great product!

Background: Over the years, I've bought a variety of massagers, all of which turned out to be pretty much useless for one reason or another but primarily because they didn't even come close to actually massaging. It took some severe hip pain to entice me to try again. Cons: The instructions that accompany the massager are inadequate. There isn't even a diagram. One is, apparently, simply expected to know how to put on/take off an attachment or how to use the stand. This isn't a trivial oversight. I could quite easily have damaged the device while trying to figure out how to remove the ball which comes installed in the massager. (If you're not going to tell people how to install/remove an attachment, it would be wiser not to ship the device with an attachment already installed.) And it took several minutes to figure out how to set the massager into the stand. As others have mentioned, the stand cannot hold all of the attachments which makes one wonder why RenPho even bothered to include it. (I went to the web site hoping to find better information, but it was actually less useful than the small manual that somes with the massager. So, FYI: You remove attachments by twisting them to the left. When they're free, it is easy to pull them off. To install an attachment, you put it on the stem and twist to the right until the attachment is firmly seated. As for the stand, that indentation at the raised end is where the massager goes, with the attachment head down and facing towards the lower part of the stand.) Many reviewers have commented on the weight as "slightly heavy". I'd say "very heavy". Also, although the long handle may make it easy to reach distant spots (especially if you are tall), it makes it extremely awkward to use for "spots" (e.g., thigh or hip) that are not so distant. Pros I've only had the massager for a few days so I cannot comment on its reliability (which is one reason, in addition to the poor quality of the instructions, that I've given it only 3 stars). I was pleased to discover that the massager arrived almost fully charged, so I didn't have to wait long to use it, and, as a massager, it is quite effective. I've found the "finger-type" attachments most useful for my needs at the moment, but the collection of attachments is fairly varied and should meet a variety of needs.

I bought this powerhouse of a massager on Oct 3, 2020, and in that time I've used it almost every day for my nerve pain and muscle tension. The crazy thing is that I set up an appointment to see a massage therapist this week, and as if this handheld massager was jealous or knew it was being replaced, it stop working! The timing of that is blowing my mind. The irony, right?! But this amazing massager has been a lifesaver for me, and despite it no longer working, I bought the same model. I just can't be without this little dynamo! I realize there's a newer model but when you find almost perfection, why change? I understand the newer model is slightly less powerful than this model. I will say however that in the two years that I've had this massager that the silicone handle came off (I didn't use it anyway) and it cracked on the handle, even though the Gorilla Glue that I used to fix it worked fine without any other issues. Sad that it died on me but I'm so grateful that it lasted this long. That being said, I bought a new exact massager and I'm so looking forward to having this little buddy give me the relief I've come to enjoy for so long. UPDATE: 1/26/2023 1. Well, I just sent back the newest one I purchase because of the same issues of the silicone handle easily sliding off, and the seems becoming loose and unstable. Even with multiple uses of crazy glue on the seams, it still is unsafe to use, plus it's now making a grinding noise when I use it. I bought this last unit in September of 2022. 2. If the company who manufacturers these units could spot weld, or use stronger binding glue to keep the seams together, and make the silicone handle stay in place by adding a couple of nipples on the inside of the silicone sleeve that could insert into divets/small holes in the hard plastic handle assembly, that would likely solve the issues. 3. That being said, I won't be buying any more of these massagers because it's just too much to deal with having to continually fix what should have been fixed on the manufacturer side in the first place. Quality control would go a long way in improving these massagers. It was great while it lasted but now I'm on a search to find a much better unit. UPDATE: 2/10/2023 1. Obviously in the last paragraph of my review above, I changed my mind because I couldn't find a better massager without paying hundreds of dollars. So, I bought another unit, the 4th one. 2. Every time I get a new one, I always superglue the seams because they just have a way of coming apart. I tested the unit prior to adding the glue and could tell the seams were still moving when twisting the unit slightly with my hands. 3. I have to say that I can see and feel the improvements in the silicone handle, now not sliding when using it more forcefully when massaging out the knots in my back and neck (awesome!) 4. It just feels better when massaging, as if they increased the RPM, or something else, but a big improvement! 5. When I grip the upper body of it - makes it easier to grip it. 6. I noticed the change of the percussive screw head being smaller and the adapters that screw on are further away from the body than the later versions. Not sure why they did that, but so far it still feels as stable and safe as before. 7. Overall, I really love this massager, and now, it's a much-improved massager over the last few that I previously bought from the company. Nothing that I've found compares in quality, strength, and price online. P.S. Great job everyone at Renpho for making such a great product and continually trying to improve it; can't say how much (a lot!) this massage has helped ease my pain. Thank you!
