How does this compare to Dr Franklyns Deep tissue Hammer massager in maximum intensity or power? Which is better for a stronger massage?

It has enough power and does the job but it turns itself off too soon and too often.

I've never even heard of Dr. Franklyn's, but this unit is just a glorified vibration massager. Not even close to quality of their older models. I have one that's over 10 years old that's weaker than when I bought it, but it's got 5-10 times the "punch" this one has. I'll be returning it for a refund and sticking with the old model until I can find something that actually works well. I don't recommend it at all.

I don't know Dr. Franks...this massager doesn't really thump...it just kind of vibrates...it's not too bad but I wouldn't buy another one...

I have not used that product; however, our other home medic was heavier and more powerful, and it would actually hurt when it was used on my back. This one does the massage work without the discomfort.

I am not certified in fitness training, but I can say I've used a toner like this for years. I had my original device for 15 years before the tension mechanism snapped. It was a different brand and it was designed to be able to use the device for the legs as well. I couldn't find a replacement for the one I had, but this one definitely works for the upper body. My husband is not toned, he's 65 and has had surgery for spinal stenosis. The stenosis has caused irreversible nerve damage in his arms and legs. He has difficulty using the UB Toner because he no longer has the strength that the average man. If your husband is of average strength, this toner will definitely help him. If he's above average in strength and looking to bulk up, this device will help his upper body, but won't achieve the same results that a woman will get, mainly because your husband may need a heavier degree of tension. The tension on this type of device is not adjustable. Just as an example, if you were working your biceps or triceps, as a woman you might use 5-lb weights, whereas a man might use 10-15 lb weights. In summary, both my husband and I use this device. I am at a higher fitness level than he is and it challenges me and provides great results. My husband struggles with meeting the required amount of repetitions, but it is very beneficial to us both for a low impact toning device. I hope this helps!

it was a gift for my dad so I don't use it but he says the massage is really more like a vibration. I don't think it is that great unfortunately :/

Hello Eve, thanks for asking. The massager model Ultimate 200a you refer to (the white, curved shape device) is a larger and more powerful than the pink colored device you see shown in the image. Overall the Ultimate 200a is more resilient and should last longer in regular service to you. The Ultimate 2100 is a newer device that is similar in quality to the pink colored device you see shown in the image - just from a different supplier. I trust this answers your query and please let me know if we at Swiss Ultimate Labs can be of further assistance to you. Everything is 100% guaranteed so there is no way you can lose, whatever device from us you choose. Roger at Swiss Ultimate Labs

The company has a stronger unit at a higher price that can't be beat. My massage therapist would actually use it from time to time it worked so good. This model is one of the best of the smaller units but I cannot say whether or not it would penetrate deep enough for your body type. I use it on my shoulders daily and it helps but nothing beats a strong set of hands to get the blood flowing. Hope this helps.

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there.

my physical therapy place used the classic when I had surgery so that is what I bought. you do use it for just a few seconds and as you build strength you can go for longer and longer times. it is v. efficient.

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

This massager has several speeds and three different heads so the intensity of the vibration to me feels like it is sort of tapping, depending on what part of the body you have it on, and which head you're using. This is a very good massager, very intense vibration even on low setting, the best massager I have owned, I hope this helps

This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller. If your back is tender you may want to consider purchasing a regular foam roller. When I first purchased foam rollers, they were sold by colors to indicate the firmness of the roller. The white was the softest, green was a medium and the black was the firmest. I alternate between my regular black foam roller and the rumble roller, depending on how intense of a massage I need. I find the rumble roller is good for people that have "graduated" from the regular foam rollers. The bumps on the rumble roller can be very intense if you are not use to it. I hope this answers your question. Good luck!

I am not sure if it is more powerful. I have a 20v brushless hammer drill also and I interchange the batteries. Both are very powerful and really amazing drills. I have not used an 18v so I cannot compare the two types. The DCD780B is a great drill, I highly recommend it.

It has 3 (or maybe 4 since I usually operate mine at the highest setting, and not 100% sure) different settings for "vibration" the lowest being pretty mild, though I would say it's far from being not noticeable. All settings in my opinion are functional as far as delivering "good vibrations" (pun not intended) I don't think most people would think of the lowest setting as too strong or even too weak. Guess what I'm saying is, I think you will find that this massager will fit the bill in delivering enough massage action for most needs. And considering the Gold Standard for these types of massagers are a few hundred dollars, this one is well worth the money for performance delivered.

It is my belief that because of the skull being so bony and little flesh, this machine is much too powerful. A handheld mini vibration massager would be more gentle and pleasant. Good Luck, Noreen

Both will give you great results. Both are different. But on pure results wise I would say Volume I just because it's a little more extreme. I highly recommend trying them both though

No, this massager seems to have very good power, even when pressure is applied. My only issue with this massager, is that I wish the heat was a little more prevalent. But this is a very minor issue considering how pleased I am with this product overall.

If your massager draws significantly less than 150 watts of power, about 1.25 amps, then you can use this inverter. If your massager draws close to this or more, then I would recommend that you purchase a much higher wattage inverter, for reliability sake.

Truthfully, probably no better than any other massager. It's all about circulation.
