The Infrared Rechargeable Massager, in my opinion, was a complete bust. Not only was the power weak but the infrared warming part really didn't get warm. The swivel head didn't lock, and would turn with very little pressure which could completely ruin your massage. The one good thing is that the power cord is very long.

The package it came in is a simple plastic clamshell package. It has almost no information on it. And it does not come with an instruction booklet. It also comes with 3 attachable heads that go over a rolly, bumpy head. Firstly, the rolly, bumpy head rolls your hair into it. Ouch! Secondly the 3 attachments, while nice, smell. A lot. If they are out of the package it's almost an instant migraine headache due to the smell. Bust.

Sound levels wise it's really loud, which is counter to the very poor power levels. On low I'm lucky if mine will vibrate at all. If it does you barely feel it. On high it's very loud, and a power level more suited to a low setting.

Given all of these issues it is getting no use in my home. Even if its on a power level we like, with the swivel head moving against your will (since it does not lock into place) it's completely counter-intuitive to being able to move the massager or keep it in place, regardless of what you want. When I've tried it sticks to my hair and when my boyfriend has tried it the swivel head moves. The rest of the time, the power levels are just too low.

The only instructions you get are this: To completely charge it, have it plugged in for 12 hours. I tried it after 12 hours and it was very weak. So I left it plugged in for 3 more sets of 12 hours, and there has been no improvements.

So, I *have* tried it with it plugged in. There's barely a discernible difference. I think the only difference is that it's actually louder.

Honestly? Don't waste your money. Keep looking. If you want an infrared massager (and they are awesome!) get the one that plugs in. This one is a complete bust.
