Pure-Wave CM7 Cordless Massager Body + Facial (Dual Mode)
Let’s just get the price of the Pure-Wave CM7 out the way right now- this will cost you about $125.00 so it is one of the pricier handheld pure wave back massagers out there.

- As we noted, this particular massager is a bit on the pricey side which may be an issue if you’re on a budget; there has also been instances where the massager does not hold a steady charge, even if left to charge overnight.
Oster Professional 103 Stim-U-Lax Massager
The Oster Professional is a sleek handheld massager, costing about $80.00 on Amazon; the Oster is made up of 100% ball bearing construction and has a traditional frame design that allows the massager to contour to your hand and reduce hand fatigue.
It is housed in chrome and has a rubber hand pad designed for optimal comfort; although it is not the cheapest handheld massager on the market, the price is fairly reasonable.
- The Oster is ideal for individuals who may experience daily chronic pain from issues such as sciatica, arthritis, even disc degeneration.
- There are additional brushes that you can purchase separately on Amazon as well if you find that you need extras.
- Unfortunately this massager only operates on one speed which is kind of disappointing considering that you may want a different tempo depending on what area of your body that you are massaging.
- Also, this massager, although durable, is a bit on the heavy side so you may have some difficulty keeping it on your hand.

The Naipo percussion handheld electric massager comes with six interchangeable massage nodes (made of plastic or silicone) and will provide you with an amazing deep tissue massage experience (best deep tissue back massager), the Naipo also works well to promote stress relief on various body parts such as back, foot (best handheld foot massager), leg, calf, neck, shoulder and anywhere else where there is tension.
Another feature of the Naipo are the various speeds that you can manipulate- whether you prefer a gentler massage experience or a more intense one, simply rotate the rotary control select an intensity level that meets your needs, that simple!
- The Naipo comes with an impressive motor that can work out even the toughest of kinks; the ergonomic design of the Naipo also makes the massager incredibly easy to grip, not to mention there is a heat option that you can select that will aid in working out those stiff muscles with a gentle, yet penetrating heat.
- There have been some instances where the heat option did not in fact work which is a huge disappointment; also, although it has several speed options, the faster speeds may be a bit to rough depending on what it is that you’re looking for.

- There was also a case where the massager arrived broken so be aware of the validity of any warranty that may be offered prior to purchasing.
The Thunderstick Supercharged Wand Massager, Black
Although there is the temptation to chuckle at the name of this handheld massager, the Thunderstick massager costs about $40.00 on Amazon and comes with a variable speed setting option so that you can select the appropriate amount of speed and intensity for your needs.
It is perfect for getting those kinks out of your neck and shoulders and provides relief within minutes.
- The Thunderstick is incredibly powerful and certainly is ideal for the neck and shoulders, which is where a lot of our stress resides.
- The Thunderstick is powerful but fairly bulky so it makes using it a bit cumbersome; the design of it is also not the best either.
- Also, although it advertises that it is extremely quiet the head of the massager can be a bit loud and annoying at times.
Can you get handheld massagers wet?
Although there are some water-proof massagers out there, many are NOT water-proof so be sure to read the box or instructions well before getting the massager wet (we definitely do not want any shocks to occur).
How often will the batteries need to be replaced?
The battery life of most of these handheld massagers is pretty sufficient- with a lot of them lasting up to three months and longer. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of batteries, however, you should perhaps invest in a massager that comes with a cord.
Can attachments be added to the massagers?
Yes and no, this just depends on the particular massager- there are some massagers that you can purchase attachments for separately and there are some that you cannot add an attachment to at all.
