What should I look for when choosing a massager:

1. Massage modes. Tumblers with 2-3 programs have a more diverse effect when working, and the better the effect of the massage will be. You should choose those devices that have at least 2 work programs.
2. A set of procedures. For relaxation and rest, simpler models are suitable. For those who wish to improve their health and use the device for disease prevention, it is necessary to choose multifunctional massagers.
3. The weight of the device and its dimensions. Some models of massagers have large dimensions. If you plan to use the device outside the home, you should give preference to more compact massagers.

5. Price category. The cost of the massager depends more on how many functions it is equipped with. The more modes of use, the more programs, the more expensive the device will be.
6. Case material, noise level, color. If the color of the device is not a particularly important parameter, then the noise level of the working massager is important. It is not easy to relax if the device is noisy.

The material from which the instrument housings are made is a fairly durable plastic, however, it must be protected from falls and strong shocks.
