Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most useful for irritating anyone living in your house

Got it and it never once worked. Never turned on no matter how long it charged or anything. Wasn’t able to use it. Don’t recommend.

Bought one for a family member for Xmas. They took it out of the box but didn’t try to use it until recently (3months later)Doesn’t work. Turns on and just does nothing. Didn’t get used once and it’s broken.

It ran for 2 days then went dead.................................................

Works good if you can get it to turn on. I bought two of thes and both of them are the same thing wthin two weeks it is very hard to get the thing to start up.

Brand new and couldn’t get it to work. We were sure the massager had a full charge. It would power on but not work.

When Sharper Image named this the "Deep Tissue Massager" They weren't kidding around. This thing has some power behind it... Think Mike Tyson crossed with a Mantis Shrimp.. this thing packs a punch! Definitely don't use this to close to your head/face or it might just knock you out! The included assortment of various attachments is nice so you can select one that suits your needs and can pinpoint the area you want to loosen up. I recommend using setting 1 for almost everything as that setting is stronger than any other massager I have tried. The battery lasts a long time after charging, which initially takes a few hours, but after that it charges really quickly depending on how many times you have used it. When running it will stay powered up for about 10 minutes or so and then shuts down by itself... I guess that's a feature for in case you get to relaxed and fall back asleep because the massager never gets to hot, and it will power right back on afterwards. The customer service I experienced was top notch as well. I had an issue and reached out to the manufacture, and they had me sorted out in no time. A+ all the way. If you're someone who enjoys a nice massage, (who doesn't) then I highly recommend this!

Complete garbage. Worked until we couldn’t return it. After return window was closed it doesn’t want to start. It tries, but fails. Sometimes you can get it going but it’s not worth 10+ minutes of effort.

I had hip replacement surgery a few months back. My thigh muscles are still sore and tight from the surgery, plus the bad hip had me walking crooked for years. Now that things are back in the proper geometry, my leg muscles are really sort after any bit of exercise. I've been going to a massage therapist for a while and that is helpful, but I can't go every day. I found this Sharper Image massager and gave it a try. It really works! I had to experiment a bit on which attachment and speed worked best, but it didn’t take long. I discovered that my muscular leg pain responds best to the soft “ball” style tip on medium speed. I did try some of the other tips on my back and neck, and they work well, too, but my main use of this massager is to sooth my leg. It does a great job! I really like that it’s rechargeable, so there are no batteries or cords to fool with. Charging is easy, though it does use a proprietary cord instead of standard USB. It charges quickly and lasts a long time. I use it almost daily, but charge it maybe once a week. The controls are easy to use and it’s also easy to see the set speed and remaining battery charge. It’s well made I highly recommend it.

The massager is as straightforward and simple to use as it looks. It's multiple and varied interchangeable massage heads can handle almost any spot that needed treatment for standard achy muscles. From large muscle mass such as thighs, to smallish areas like your traps, there's not really a spot that this can't handle. I especially like the softer tip ball-shaped attachment. This really helps when you might need to get an area of mass that may be close to a boney area. The softer head helps alleviate any hard contact you may accidentally catch with the massager. The gun is able to concentrate its power very well. Even on the highest setting the massager never felt out of control in my had. The lower you position your grip, the less the vibration you can feel when holding it. The battery lasts for a good while. I used it for 15-20 minutes every other day and the display still reads more than half battery left with a week and a half of use. I mainly used it on the 4th highest power level, sometimes hitting the next highest setting to work my calf muscles. A fine device that really has no downside. It's easy and intuitive to use and provides versatile and consistent massage relief.

This product is junk. About half the time it wouldn't even start running for me, and it was fully charged. I returned it almost immediately.

Returned the first one because it wasn’t working. They sent me another and that one didn’t work. Would not recommend!!!

The Powerboost Deep Tissue Massager by Sharper Issue is my first tissue massager and I'm so glad I now have one. Once unboxed, the instructions state to allow it to fully charge, so I read up on the attachments inside the box. A total of six attachments and each attachment has it recommended use on certain areas on your body. The massager has seven different speeds, from one to seven. Speed one is pretty powerful and honestly more than enough for me, but if you need more speed, the massager can handle it. The massager also comes inside a carrying case. This is easier regardless of using it around the home, or taking it with us when we travel. The massager states it can hold a charge for three hours. So far, I have used it several times and I have not had to recharge the massager. Having a home massager is defintely worth having now that I have one. And the price is more than reasonable for the function, the attachments and the feel. I highly recommend the Sharper Image Powerboost Deep Tissue Massager.

We have been using a big-name percussive massager for around 4 years now and have really liked it. I mainly use it on my wife's back as she works with younger kids at a preschool and is always bending over or picking them up, which really affects her back. Lately, we've been having to search for it as our older son seems to come and borrow it for his after work-out routine quite often and mostly without returning right away. We decided that it was probably a good time to look for an additional one for the household. The Powerboost Deep Tissue Massager by Sharper Image seemed like a good one to try. This Powerboost Deep Tissue Massager looks to be a newer version of the massager, with some minor changes in design. It is still the typical T-shape that most percussive massagers have (except for our other one), but is more a capital T shape, with no extra little section sticking out on top. The control panel on the back has a single multi-purpose touch-sensitive "button", a speed level indicator and an outside ring display for the battery remaining (which is up to 3 hours). The button uses a long-press to turn it on, off, or stop (while using it), and single press to cycle through the 7 speed levels (all the way to 0 to turn off as well). It uses a USB-C connection for charging so any USB-charger will work on it or can use the included cable. It does have a zippered carrying case with slots for all the 6 different attachments (well, 5 slots plus one for the massager with the ball tip attached), but for us, it is a little too bulky to keep in the we normally store our other massager in. When using it, it fine for most areas without needing to keep it perfectly perpendicular (to keep it from bouncing). As long as you only want to use it on the shoulders/neck, chest, legs or arms, it's fine to use it by yourself. But if wanting to use it on the back (which is where we use it the most), it is quite difficult without having someone else use it on you. Our other one has a multi-angled grip that allows better use on the back without getting anyone else involved. What I do like with this one is that the lowest speed is quite a bit lower than our other one, which actually allows me to use it on my calves without making feel like they want to cramp up. And through the lower 2 or 3 speeds, it is much quieter than our other one. I also like that the actuator is fully internal, even though it makes the attachments a little longer. One problem we have with our other one is that the actuator bar is starting to get somewhat grimy, which can get our clothing dirty if it rubs up against it (and it is quite difficult to cleaned off). I really only have one other minor issue with it. The two softer attachments, which are the ones that we would use the most, have a material or coating that seem to be designed to not be used on clothing. Both make it quite difficult to move up and down an area without it grabbing the fabric along the way, even when pulling the fabric tight. The default ball attachment seems to be the worst of the two. The other attachments are basically pure plastic and smoother, but not exactly what we want to use all the time. Overall, this is a very capable massager, even though it may be best used by having someone else use it on you.

Dead on arrival. Thumps once and stops. Full charge.

I tried to use it for the first time. I starts for a split second and shuts down. None of the speeds work

This thing was DOA. I heard this happening to others and I didn’t think it would happen to me too.

It stopped working after less than one week of use.

Just ok. Hard to turn on and off. The different settings are not comfortable to use.

Things skips and feels like a beating instead of therapy lol
