Review for MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I got this as a gift to ease my arthritic pain. It worked great at first. Definitely relieves stress and knotted muscles. Unfortunately, mine broke after two months. I didn't keep the packaging and my sister could not find the receipt, so I was out of luck. Way to expensive to break so easily. Hopefully the manufacturer reads these reviews.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I teach exercise physiology in college. Love how it works, but first one broke and local store replaced it. Second one broke and was told they could not help as it was out of warranty. It is too expensive a unit to break this easily. Seems to have some plastic internal parts that are not sturdy. Was given no help at store when asking if it can be repaired, They wanted to sell me another one.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

We loved the massager and used it a lot. Unfortunately, it broke in less than 2 years. I have a different brand massager from a different company that is not nearly as good, but at least it's been running for over 5 years. I think Brookstone should repair or replace.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

We first owned another well known brand of heavy duty massager. Bought it for [$] and it lasted 18 years. We bought this one because of the handles were very easy to hold on to and the rubber tips were a bit softer.Sad to say it broken after just 14 months and of course just after the warranty was up.We love these heavy duty massager's and will be getting another one like we first had.

Great product to use to reduce stress and tense muscles. The best massager I have ever purchased.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I have had upper back pain for most of my adult life. The Max2 offers a deap, penetrating massage that will often releave the pain for hours after use. I originally purchased this massager because it was something that my chiropracter used.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

This is a very intense machine. it works very well...remember to drink a lot of water after you use it. the effects are those of a professional massage therapist. I am happy with my purchase and notice I sleep a lot better after I use it.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I like the deep tissue massage this product gives, but it must be held flat against the skin otherwise it pinches your skin, and it hurts!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Product is very easy to use. I have it on high on my lower back and low on my upper back. It helps relieve my sore back and achy neck. Great product and easy to store.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

It must be used gently....too much pressure can be a little painful

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Great everyday massager especially for people with tense muscles

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My husband had sore back muscles, and this is great for massages. Just be careful not to tilt the machine too much to the side or it can pinch fatty areas inbetween the vibrating knobs and the edges of the machine.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

The only massager I have seen with an open grip handle so it is much easier to hold and not as heavy as most massagers.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I´m a PMR specialist that practices medical Acupuncture. I usually apply it to patients prior to a treatment, especially the first time to help them relax. I also use it after a treatment instead of a friction rub. Patients love it. I´ve also used it at home with the hubby or he´s used it on me after a long day at work, it´s great!! The only con is it is so compact that it is a little difficult to take out of the bag.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

The design allows to use the Max machine easily by yourself

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My husband loves his new super powerful massager. He loves a great neck and shoulder massage while watching T.V. Our kids love it too. And I love it too but on a lower setting!
I had purchased 2 other massagers but they were not powerful enough until my husband pointed this one out to me in a store awhile back. I got it for him later for Valentines Day. Thanks.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I tried this product out over a year ago. I wanted it then, but my husband felt it was too expensive. I didn't forget, and this year I purchased one for my husband at Christmas....

He is a believer like me, now.

Best product ever...............

Sincerely,
Satisfied Customer

My wife and I are getting into our 60's and still like to excercise. This helps eliminate soreness.

We love it!!!!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I bought this for my husband for Christmas (kind of for me too!). We love it. Every night we each get a "massage" and no one whines about giving it. I like the 5 speeds for different body parts. I don't care for the programmed massages but I would definitely recommend this product to everyone.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

So easy to use, and sooooo relaxing.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

really makes a difference-works great

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Wish that it was a little easier to drop down your own back from the top of your neck to massage middle and lower back area.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

great to use the day after an athletic event or strenous workout

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

This replaced a similar competitor's product; it is more compact, easier to manipulate and massages more deeply. producing a more thorough and deeper relaxation of my neck and shoulders.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I have only used it a short time, but I'm impressed. I would recommend it. You get what you pay for. If you need heavy duty, you should spend the money.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Excellent results in reducing body aches and pains.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

This was one of the best Christmas gifts that I have received in a long while.
It sure comes in handy after a long day at work; massaging the day away in just 20 minutes.
I love it!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I already have one of these, and bought one for a family member for Xmas. There is truly NOTHING to compare with this massager. Everyone who tries mine is blown away.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

The one greatest plus is this massager works the intended muscles, FAST and not the person operating the massager, all of the vibration works directly into the muscles and not down the handle into the one operating the unit.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Pros:
Fantastic product & the best I have used. Deep penetrating vibrations get to the hardest spots on the body, leaving you glowing comfortably.

Cons:
Occasionally, depending on the angle of pressure, the internal vibrating mechanism contacts the plastic outer shell and rattles loudly. This disturbs the patient & ruins ambiance.

The buttons are placed in a silly location and are touch-sensitive, so often you inadvertantly change the program, speed or simply turn it off. Irritating & disturbs continuance.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

this is a great unit; we've had several. First one failed after two years of regular use. Couldn't really complain, but the next ones failed after just over a year. Disappointing thing is that the same part failed, and no parts are available. Our next massager won't be a Max.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My chiro has a fabulous massager that he uses before an adjustment. Problem is, it's over $1,000! I'd given up on getting one for home use until I saw this. Not really expecting it to be the same as the pro's, I was plesantly surprized by it's effectiveness. Really improves circulation and loosens tight spots well in a minimal amount of time. Great value.

this machine delivers!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Several of my clients are enjoying the benefits of MAXPro also. It's so easy to use on myself too.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My husband is 6'4" and 300lbs and it takes a lot of power to reach the deep tissue pain he feels on his back. We wanted to get something that is powerful but easy and light enough for him to hold for a period of time. We've researched online and finally decided to try this one. The rpm choices is great and it has enough power for him and the tension and pain on his back eased up after 30 minutes of using the percussion massager.
I have read that some people have trouble with their units after a time, we haven't had any problems so far (we've had the unit for a month now).

This product makes giving a GOOD massage easy!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

Great massager. Can be a bit uncomfortable. Avoid the bone areas.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My significant other and I both have pretty bad back pain -- lots of knots and tense muscles, especially after sitting in front of a computer all day. This massager has significantly improved our quality of life--it's very intense and the percussion really gets into the tight muscles. I would say using this daily would be the equivalent of getting a professional massage once a week. Love it to death.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

This is an incredible hand held massager. I am a massage therapist and purchased this for my husband. I love to have it used on me and my husband says it does almost as good a job at relieving muscle tension as my massages. It is very comfortable to use and the 5 speeds make it very versatile. The only downside is if you should use it for longer than 15 minutes it can overheat and you will need to allow it to sit for a while before you can use it again.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My Max, much as I enjoyed it, only lasted 14 months. [...]

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

My tension tends to go to my lower back, where I get muscle knots the size of golf balls. This device breaks those down and provides a very relaxing experience, allowing me to sleep and move freely without pain.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I had an old Brookstone massager that I called the "mondo" massager. When it finally bit the dust, I was heartbroken. But this new model is 10,000 times better! Even though it cost more than twice as much, it's WAY worth it. Where with the old massager, it would take 30 minutes or more to relieve muscle tension, with this new massager it takes LESS THAN 5 MINUTES!! And it doesn't hurt at all, very gentle. Easy to handle, not at all awkward or heavy for the person giving the massage. And it's QUIET! I can't BELIEVE how brilliant this machine is! I just LOVE it!

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

We have tried numerous numerous massage machines and none are even close to the effectiveness of this machine and our over all satisfaction with it. [...]

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

The only way this item could be better is if it radiated infrared heat. I use mine daily. Makes a great gift too.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

this is a good machine, almost as good as the professional massagers. but it died after 11 months of regular use. and because i could not find my receipt, i have no recourse. [...]after spending [$], i'd like it to last a while longer...

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I tend to get incredible tighness in my neck & shoulders & this thing really does a great job!!
I feel much better & looser after using it for a few minutes. I thought only my phsical therapist could give me that kind of relief but I was wrong. I just got mine but it has paid for itself already.

Comments about MAX2 Dual Node Percussion Massager:

I'm surprised no one has reviewed this yet. I've had mine for 3 years and it still works as well as it did the day I bought it. It was well built and worth the price. Don't let the price scare you off. It scared me a little, but it's more than paid for itself in the 3 years I've had it because of all the insurance deductibles I would have paid out by now to see a physical therapist or all the money and tips I would have had to shell out for a massage therapist. Every once in awhile, my back muscles get so painful that I can't even stand up straight. I just use this machine when my back gets sore and it does help a lot! It is fairly easy to use but some may find it to be slightly heavy because it is so durable and well-built.
