It is definitely worth it if you are tired and do not want to massage your partner's head by hand. It's something different and nice, but doesn't compare to the hands on approach. The price is a little high in my opinion, but priced way more reasonably than other head massagers. I was disappointed that you couldn't use the top prongs comfortably. Even with that being said, all in all, I have to say it's a useful little gadget to have when you want a little bit of stress relief after a long day
