Just bought this. The pulsating massage setting rarely works. Stops coming out of the third hole. Will this improve?

Do you have hard water? Could be that if you do a build up has partially stopped the flow. Mine has worked wonderfully, and I've had it over four years. I don't know if you can exchange it because it's not working well for you. I don't use the pulsating massage very often, but it still works fine. Maybe research hard water and how you can dissolve it and give that a try--it could work.

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

don't know cause' I only have this one......I can tell you this is worth the money if you are like me and love "hand massages"....lots less expensive, too....I only wish it provided more pressure than it does....I really like deep/strong pressure...still, it satisfies.....bb

Actually, that is really why I bought it. However, it is very intense and I find that if I use it as designed, it makes my thumbs sore. So I do not strap it onto my hand very often which is counter to how it is designed to be used. It is supposed to vibrate the hand of the massager which would then be transferred to the massagee.

Not yet, but mine is relatively new. I have noticed that the vibration of the machine will slowly change the temp setting though. I am going to try and put it on a towel next time to see if that helps.

The sound and vibration should be low and acceptable. Definitely, your massage headset is defective. Send it back for repairing or replacement ASAP.

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

It does heat up after about 20 minutes of continuous use however it is not unbearably hot more warm to the touch and at least for me, it is only at the tip of the handle. About an inch or two above the switch. It doesn't actually get hot on the head of the massager.

Yep that is how it should be done. Maybe you didn't push the pin in far enough. Make sure the threaded end in screwed tightly into the metal pump, and the needle goes into the inflation site. Try pushing it in further to the Cushion. It should work. Otherwise maybe the pump is defective. Good luck!

No it does not have a setting or switch to do that. I have had my unit for about a month now, and to my understanding is that their are 6 massage settings. Some are TENS. Some are EMS.

You NEED to keep it on the lowest setting and SLOWLY increase the setting. It is a powerful little device, and you need to use it like you would a medical device, because that is what it is. This goes double if you are a new user, your body will not be used to it unless you attune yourself to it. The manual reiterates this several times; don't ignore it. If you use it right, it's a wonderful little device that works miracles. If you use it incorrectly and don't pay attention to the manual (I.e., putting it directly on your spine? THAT'S A NO), then you will be in for an incredibly uncomfortable experience. We love ours and use it regularly :)

Try keeping it in the frig. Not only should it remain thick, but the coolness feels refreshing. If that doesn't work I would return it. I've had the same problem with hand cream left in the car, and it worked for me. Good luck

While it's working it is smooth has very good tension settings , very good cardio workout. However like I said in my review it only lasted six weeks before it started scraping and was useless after 2 months of use. I did 23 miles every other day , maybe that was to much, I don't know. If you get it, good luck !

Did not help me at all - I had to return my inserts. But the inserts bought from gravity defyer seem to be the best so far. I agree with Rams1526, will not cure the issue. You can try Sombra pain relieving gel for some additional relief.

It sounds like you need to replace it: http://www.amazon.com/Shibari-Massager-Powerful-Double-Speed-Vibrating/dp/B00939J5T6/ref=sr_1_1?m=A2EFVXGKMS1MEN&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1405030980&sr=1-1&keywords=shibari Deep Memories 203 234-2001

It gets pretty loud on its highest setting but I think if it's on low you'll be fine :) my boyfriend loves it though! It helps get a lot of knots out of his back. It's too much pressure on my back when he massages me with it though so I don't like it. But if you like deep tissue massages then it'll be perfect :)

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.

I actually bought this for my mother, and I remember we had a tough time getting it to raise all the way when we first tried it. It's been too long and I can't remember exactly what we did to get it to release... but you might try pushing down on it and then release it to see if that helps ... I just searched Google and found this page, and yes now I remember we had to reset the weight setting ... it says to Push down on the upholstered part of the cushion, causing it to &#64258;ex outward. This allows the lifting mechanism to swing freely. (The Uplift cushion is designed to &#64258;ex this way thousands of times. Flexing will not damage the product.) Look at this link http://www.medicalsuppliescanada.ca/documents/seat-assist-user-guide-english.pdf Good luck and God bless!!
