Was a bit sceptical, however love this massager...hands feel amazing afterwards. **it says 'battery operated' that just means you charge it up with USB

Brilliant little device - I knit a lot and sometimes feel fatigue in my hands. This devices massages hands and really helps me go back to knitting quickly! There are few different settings, there is no instruction on which colour does what but you can feel it so test which setting is the best for you. Highly recommend.

This was really bad for my carpel tunnel. It felt nice on my other hand so I guess if you just enjoy hand massages this would be great for you - but it was quite painful on my bad hand so unfortunately had to return. It is otherwise a nice product though, very light and feels comfy enough to wear casually without having to keep your arm perfectly still. Just sadly wasn’t for me!

I've developed minor arthritis in a finger, tried this not expecting much. But I can say fairly confidently that it is making a massive difference. It's not cured, but it's far less painful than it was. The device performs very differently depending on whether it is pulled into the charger or if it is running purely on the batteries. With batteries only it is much more gentle. With power it can get quite alarming how hard it compresses your hand - but actually I find this a good thing. Same with the heat - with power on the "low" setting is great, the "high" setting is unbearable (for me). But on battery, the high setting is preferable. Like others I didn't get proper instructions for some reason, but it's pretty easy to work out - switch on, put hand in, select hand size (small or large) and it starts up. Optionally press the heat button to switch heat on, press again for the higher setting. If you have any hand pain, definitely worth a try.

Failed straight out of the box. Did squeeze my hand in various place quite strongly (and a bit uncomfortably on the highest intensity), imagine a blood pressure cuff squeezing your hand. Did not heat up at all, even on the highest setting (supposed to be 45°C but didn't get above room temperature.). Tried to charge it but no charging light came on, tried 3 different chargers (all worked fine with phones and tablets) and charging from PC - none worked. You can simulate what it does and save £30 by just sitting on your hand and wiggling from side to side. Returned for refund. Disappointing, hoped it would help but it was garbage.

Build quality is surprisingly good. Massage and heat functions are superb and can be used with small, medium or large hands. I can appreciate that use for an extended period of time could quite easily help sufferers of chronic pain. Worth every penny.

Purchased as a gift for my mother who suffers with sore wrists and hands. She finds the temperature about right and not too hot and the actual quality of the unit is good but in terms of lifestyle, it's unfortunately not made any difference to her pain levels.

Very easy to use, it grips you hand which can be a bit disconcerting at first but you get used to it. Makes your hands feel very comfortable afterwards. For the price we paid it is very good value. Would recommend.
