cotsoco Mothers Day Gifts for Mom Upgraded Hand Massager - 3Massage Sizes, Cordless Hand Massager with Heat & Compression for Arthritis and Carpal Tunnel, Relaxation at Home, Office, Outdoors, Black

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

This is brilliant! Long battery life, quick to charge, can run off mains power. Would recommend.

I bought this as a gift for a friend. She loved it and I think it looks very stylish. Easy to use and good that it’s wireless. Reasonable price for what it is and well packaged. My friend found it very soothing and helpful after lots of jobs which makes her hands sore.

I bought this for my mother who suffers from arthritic hands. The machine was helping her then all of a sudden just stopped working. I contacted customer services who were very helpful and without any hesitation sent out a new machine within a few days of contacting them. New machine working perfectly and my mother would recommend this machine to others looking for help with pain and stiffness caused by arthritis.

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.

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.

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.

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.
