Does the deep tissue massager loose power if you put a lot of pressure behind it?

Well, that would depend on your strength. If you press hard enough, you could definitely stop the motor, but it is pretty strong. That's the problem I had, the motor is strong enough to break the plastic piece that connects to it.

It is a pretty powerful massager, but I would imagine if you submitted it to enough resistance it would slow down. I haven't ever put a lot of force/pressure on it, because there is no reason to. The pulsing motion goes pretty deep with only a firm pressure; therefore, I cannot envision any advantage of putting alot of pressure on it. This is not a milk toast vibrator, but instead does go deep into the tissues. Hope this response helps.

No not like some cheaply made ones. You can tell a slight difference in vibration but with the attachments provided it still does the job.

No it won't come on unless the power button is on. The heat is only in the lumbar section, not the entire pad. It has low, medium and high for vibration. Maybe low would work for you. I l

Not sure, but weight wasn't the issue. The massagers could be felt through the cushion.

It's the best deep tissue massager I've ever used. However, for the neck it is to heavy for one. It's not designed for one person for the back or neck.

Hi. The answer is yes...kind of. I have two massagers (my wife and me). Her's is the HoMedics. It only has two zones (upper & lower), but it goes higher than mine. The massage is a little milder too---mine is a bit too rough so I simply drape a blanket over it. She loves it.

This is not light, weights about 4 pounds. If you are looking for a light massager you can try the one from Panasonic. This one is more appropriate for deep tissue.

No, it does not work with that dimmer switch. If you dim the dimmer enough the massager turns off completely so it's either off or on, no in-between.

The main part of the massager is made of hard plastic and the inside knob under the white part is also hard plastic and when turned on, the two peices of hard plastic are hitting each other causing a loud noise. You can hold the massager in one spot with some pressure and it will stop making the noise but after a few second of firm holding, your hand begins to get sore. Overall if you were using it on your foot, you can tolerate the noise but if you use it on your shoulders or neck (anything close to your ear) its a bit too much.

You can wrap a towel few folds as a cushion between kness and massager. It works fine for me.

I think you are right about thumping power. if they don't pound hard enough you don't get deep tissue action and pushing down on the massager just over works the motor.

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

I have not had any problems with power lose or surge. The settings remain. I LOVE this pump. Very very happy with it.

I don't have that problem. I only use dry shave normal pressure. May be problem if it isn't fully charged.

The pressure isn't marked (but I'm sure it does). However, due to applying pressure the clamp mechanism on mine broke 3 times and I had to take it to a machine shop each time, then the cord burnt out and I got a new at Radio Shack and then the heat element died and I bought something else. I spent more on fixing this thing than it cost.

Yes it does. When fully reclined your low back has all pressure off of it. Sorry I am not explaining it any better. 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 :/
