Does this item hurt or vibrate your hands a lot when using it?

No, not at all. It has a long enough handle that I don't really feel the vibration in my hand when I use it.

You can feel vibration through the handle, more if you're holding it at the top of the grip nearest the head, less if you're holding the grip near the cord. The vibration is also dampened when the head is contact with whatever you're using it on. (In other words, you feel the vibration worse if you're just holding it up in the air vs. actually using it.) The vibration doesn't hurt my hand at all, but your mileage may vary.

It hurts me when it's lands on a bone (spine or shoulder blade). It doesn't vibrate my hands to the point it hurts. I does however vibrate in my chest when I'm using it on my upper back.

No I use it on myself and I also give my girlfriend massages so I hold it in all types of positions. It is really nice and much lighter than other back massagers.

The higher you turn it up, the more it vibrates but it's ok on the lower speeds. As for hurting, there are 4 different attachments. The deep tissue one does hurt on high but the others are fine.

No it does not hurt my hands at all. It vibrates a little but nothing out of the ordinary.

I've only used it a couple of times while sleeping and sometimes it's fine and sometimes it bothers me. I think it depends on how bad my wrist has been hurting. If it's been very bad it's better than sleeping without it.

You should be able to actually feel it vibrate. To feel the shock you have to touch BOTH tips on your fingers. This is not true with the vibration. You can feel it just by holding it. Send it back but if it is too late to return to Amazon then call the company. I think they have a year warranty. For the little extra money I bought the 2 pack then I always have one charged.

It does vibrate, but not enough to cause any fatigue of the hands and/or arms.

my view is that percussion causes vibration, so while it is adjustable, the higher settings givehigher percussion, which causes more vibration. Its not quite as strong as the older HoMedics Pro massagerbut still well worth the price.

Hi!No, it is not bothersome at all. When working with this tool, one can only slightly feel the vibration (especially on the highest setting). Th noise of the Sonicrafter is way more noticeable than the vibration. Best regards,Marc Wuttke

Not at all. It's a low vibrating sound, it isn't loud. It works wonders with tense muscles. I love it, and I ordered a second one for my dad.

It feels like tapping plus vibration to me. It is very effective. You have to hold onto it securely when using it. I see the other answers are: vibrate only. Maybe. But it is pretty intense.

Yes, it vibrates a little bit but, it is not objectionable. With the reciprocating action of the blades it cannot be prevented. For an electric knife it is excellent and I would purchase this knife again.

It's not painful at all. There's a little tickle, which felt wierd the first time I used it because I was being too timid with it. When I just stick it up there and wave it around it tickles less. =) I've been using mine for 5 months now, maybe twice a week and it still works exactly the same.

You don't feel the vibration in your hand when you hold it so much as you notice the work it's getting done.

It can be painful. I don' t use it because it is supposed to relax, not to irritate.Feeling pain is mostly irritating

Yes the external nubs do alternately vibrate creating a beating/ tapping sensation. Whether you find this soothing depends on why you are using it. I use it for deep tissue massage after a workout. For that purpose it's excellent. My only complaint is the durability. Mine started making noises within the first day and I'm afraid something inside is loose.

Only vibrates. I didn't really like it. You might be better with a shiatsu massager.

Absolutely. Had hand and wrist pain daily from mouse use/clicking and have been using it for about a month now and haven't had any mouse-use pain for a while now.

Check to make sure the blade is installed properly. It's easy to get the blade just off center and that will cause a really bad vibration. Other then that, it's a 2 stroke. After using it for awhile your hands will feel funny when you stop.

It DOES indeed vibrate. And the single D battery it takes for the vibration lasts a long time; with 4-5 hours of daily use you'll get at least 3 weeks out of it.
