Power
The rated power of a massager is more of a reference than a practical concern for most users. Generally, massagers consume less than 80 watts, with higher ratings, up to 400 watts, observed in specific chair cover models that heavily rely on extensive infrared heating. However, power consumption is usually not a significant factor, especially for models powered by a household outlet. Manufacturers carefully select power levels to ensure the effective performance of claimed functions and modes. When choosing a massager, it's more practical to focus on other relevant aspects rather than getting overly concerned about power ratings.
Number of programs
The number of individual operate programs provided for in the design of the massager.
It's important to distinguish this from massage modes (as discussed below). A single program can integrate multiple massage modes, such as vibration and infrared heating. Consequently, the count of programs may not necessarily align with the number of distinct massage types.
Anyway, the more modes, the more versatile the massager, the more ways it can be used. However such an abundance can affect the price.
Number of speeds
The number of speeds provided in the design of the massager.
The higher the speed, the more intense the impact; conversely, gentle massage is usually performed at low speeds. The presence of several speeds allows you to choose the best option for a particular task.
Display
The presence of a
display is primarily relevant for facial massagers and allows you to more clearly see which settings are selected, which mode is set and other information.
Operating time
The massager's average continuous operation time on its autonomous power source, without the need for recharging or battery replacement, is particularly crucial for situations where recharging or battery changes are not feasible, such as extended trips.
Charging time
Time to fully (from 0 to 100%) charge the massager battery. For rare cases of using the model, the charging time is not so relevant, but for everyday use, it is better to choose devices with fast charging.
