The functions are easy to use right out of the box, after charging. With the Sharper Image - PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact – Black, I will be able to take care of many of my minor aches and pains in the comfort of my own home.

Stop working after less than 2 weeks. I did want to get another to see if it was just defective but they were out and now they are double what I paid.

My first impression out of the box is wow this quality does not match the retail price. It’s way nicer compared to similar, more expensive products I’ve used. The unit itself has a nice premium look and feel to it. Even the presentation of the packaging box. You’re getting way more for your hard-earned money that’s for sure. Out of the box, you get a short USB C cable to charge but no power brick, along with a very nice carrying case and the four attachments below: Hot + Cold: Provides hot or cool therapy for advanced relief. Good for all body areas and has low muscle impact. Trust me the hot and cold is not a gimmick. It will get cold or hot enough to provide some relief without being unbearable. You can also adjust it by 3 levels. The round attachment which is pretty much a ball is excellent for large areas for overall comfort. It’s good for the glutes muscles, arms, thighs, and back. It’s also low muscle impact. There’s a flat attachment if you require a much deeper impact for recovery which is excellent for the chest, shoulders, and back. This one is the muscle impact is medium. Last but not least is the fork attachment which provides dual impact for muscle knots. It’s good for shoulders, biceps, calves, and feet. This one has the highest muscle impact out of all the attachments. Operating the unit it’s pretty simple including removing and attaching the attachments. To power the unit on or off just hold the power button located at the bottom for a few seconds. To change the intensity level just press the power. The are six intensity levels to choose from. I will say that I would prefer level 1 to have been a little bit less intensive. But overall this compact massager has a strong motor. There’s an LCD that shows you your current intensity level. If you have the hot + cold attachment it will show you the cold/hot level. To adjust the temp level rotate the bezel of the display to the left for cold or to the right for heat. You can also tell what temp you have it set to by the color of the light in front of the massager. For cold it’s blue, for heat it's red and for neutral it’s white. For all other attachments, the lights stay white. What I like about this unit how compact it is to carry around. Lately, my feet have been killing and this is where the fork attachment works the best providing some much-needed relief. Something I’ve noticed is how it doesn’t stall. That’s one of the issues I had with my previous massager applying too much pressure would stall the motor. Overall I’m very satisfied with not just how well it massages but doing it so much better at a lower price. Sharper Image knocks it out of the ball park. I highly recommend it.

This is a nice size massager that comes with a carrying case and 4 attachments. I love the size and it’s easy to pack and take along as needed. When traveling I pack it in my bag after sitting for long ont he plane, it is very helpful. And I pack it in my gym bag when I think I might need it. I have other massagers which work well this is just beyond amazing! It is so convenient that this can be used hot or cold and the temptarue doesn’t take long to come on. Surprisingly, it’s not too loud so doesn’t interfere with having conversations or watching tv. This comes with a USB-C charging cable but as in everything else these days, there is not block so you have to provide your own. I haven’t needed to recharge the battery yet so it is long lasting. There’s a little cheatsheet that shares the parts of the body each attachment might help with. From, all over the body, arms, back, thighs, glutes, chest, shoulders, biceps and even feet, has the right attachments. Also, they say not to use on head and neck. This works wonders and have helped me find relief especially with my back, legs and shoulders. I mostly use the hot/cold attachment, it feels so good in just the right spot. It’s quick and easy to set this up whether with the attachments or the hot/cold attachment. Having only one switch for on/off and any of the 6 intensity levels is nice. But the switch is awkwardly placed on the bottom, which is interesting. When using the hot/cold attachment, you use twist the circle one way for cold, the other for heat. There are 3 levels of heat and cold. I find the 1st and 2nd levels meet my needs most time. This is a really nice compact hand massager.

I got this as I have been having a lot of shoulder issues and after them using one on me at PT I thought it would be a good idea. I love that besides the standard massage you have the option of heat or cold as well though it is only with the metal attachment. If you choose either one it very quickly gets to whatever setting you want. It does not get too hot or cold but feels really good in addition to the massage. The gun itself is very light compared to others I have used. It does do an automatic shut off after a certain amount of time. This in itself is not a bad thing though I wish there was a way to override this each use if desired. The carrying case is a nice addition to this and feels very well made. I actually took this over to uses on my daughter when she wasn't feeling well and she really liked it and wants one now as well. While it may nit have a ton of speed settings I think it is sufficient and honestly appreciate the overall simplicity of this. The battery lasts a lot longer than I would have expected especially when I use the heat function so much! The only negative I would really say is the port for the charger, it might just be me but sometimes I find it hard to plug the cord in. Not a deal breaker by any means just a bit annoying and I am hoping it will be less of an issue over time as I get used to it. Overall I am very happy with this!

So far as hand massage guns go, the PowerBoost is pretty nice. The battery lasts a good time and can be recharged from any normal power adapter. The zippered softshell case is good quality and keeps the massager and accessories neatly together. The hot and cold massage head, perhaps the main feature, can be very helpful with different kinds of muscle pains. However this only works with one of the massage heads, so if you want hot or cold with a different head shape, it can't do it. The big downside is the near total lack of ergonomics. The PowerBoost has the same 90 degree handle so many other percussive massagers use, which is rather uncomfortable to use for more than a few minutes at a time. The heat is controlled by the dial at the rear, which is easy to use with a second hand, but would've been better if it was closer to the handle so you could operate it with your thumb. A button at the very end of the handle powers the device on and also changes the vibration intensity, which is completely awkward to use.

The Sharper Image PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact Massage Gun has become my go-to for tackling muscle tension and finding relaxation. Its compact design seamlessly fits into my gym bag or travel luggage, with the low-profile carrying case adding extra convenience on the go. What sets this massage gun apart is its dual functionality – hot and cold therapy. The heat setting embraces sore muscles, aiding recovery, while the cold setting tackles inflammation and numbs pain. It's my companion both before and after workouts, and the included attachments ensure precise relief for targeted areas. The rechargeable battery brings reliability, and the LED indicator is handy for monitoring the battery level. The USB-C port adds a modern touch to the charging process. The Sharper Image PowerBoost Pro excels with its innovative blend of hot and cold therapy, providing a noticeable edge. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or seeking a dependable massage gun with advanced features, this model proves a worthwhile investment for overall well-being and efficient muscle recovery. A charming extra – my cat seems to enjoy the low heat setting, adding unexpected charm to an already impressive device. In conclusion, for those in search of a reliable and versatile massage gun, the Sharper Image PowerBoost Pro is a solid choice for a comprehensive approach to muscle care, offering a unique blend of convenience and innovation.

The Sharper Image - PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact is a class above other handheld massagers. It has the right amnount of force for a decent massage and is great for loosening up back and neck muscles. The hot and cold functions are a game changer though. Heat is typical but cool not so much. So I can start using it in heat mode and to reduce inflammation/tension and then switch to cold to finish things which results in longer lasting relief. There is also a huge temperature range which makes it perfect to tailor it to each person's preferences. Overall, it's a great products and the multiple attachments just increases the number of applications for it. The battery life has also been great so far and the carrying case makes it easy to store to prevent damage to it. I highly recommend this compact massager. It packs a lot of power in a small package and it's perfect to take on the go or when traveling. In addition to the multiple attachments, it has multiple intensity modes just adding to its value.

My wife has some lower back pains and uses a heating pad, as well as a small massage gun, to help alleviate the pressure and pain she feels from it. So it sort of hit me that to combine those two things, heat and a massage gun, is what I could get her for Christmas. And so this product was put on order and I eagerly awaited it to arrive. Once it arrives it really is impressive. It comes with a high quality, large carrying case, which has room for all of the modules that you can use. They are a diverse collection, I believe it has five different ones with it. All give you different feelings. On Christmas she opened it up and was a bit perplexed until she got it out and looking at it. Once she saw it adds cold and heat and is a premium product she saw why it made sense and so we decided to try it. I used it on her lower back and, just overall, her entire back and shoulders and we used the heat setting. We also tried cold briefly but she prefers the warmth. She said it was amazing! She tried it on me as well and my lower back felt so much better. Note that this thing has some serious power. Even on the lowest setting of 1, it goes from 1 to 6, it has a bit of heavy duty feel. So if you're a person who is very sensitive to these types of guns note that it may be too much for some of you, my wife enjoyed it at a setting of 1, but I could see some folks maybe thinking this is a bit too much. It's clearly intended for people with experience with these types of guns and so it's a serious device, with serious settings for serious people who really want a hardcore massage experience. This thing is built like a tank, ditto for the add-on pieces too. The case and all of it really reminds me of the elite experience that you get with the MS Elite Controller. It's just really that good. I am very happy I picked this and my wife is too. Highly recommended!

I have had all kinds of massagers of various quality levels and this one stands out. It comes in a nice case with the attachments, charging cable and instructions. I was surprised to find that the cold setting not only produced a cold massage head but did it very quickly. It's like there's a little fridge in the end of this massager. The heat also works well and doesn't take long to get warm. The gun itself is heavy and feels like a top-quality machine. It's very quiet for how powerful it is. Much more like a professional grade device than what you normally find in this price range. The other attachments (you don't use them with the hot/cold head) are typical of these gun-type massagers--a round ball that gives a little, a rigid two-prong fork type head, and a flat button type. It charges up pretty quickly with tiny lights to show the progress, and those lights are lit when it's in use to let you know the remaining charge. Everything has it's own place in the zippered case. This would make a great gift for someone who has a need for a good massager.

The Sharper Image - PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact massager works just great! I had a very sore forearm and a heating pad was just not doing the job for me. I purchased this product and my arm feels great now! One of the best purchases I ever made.

So I've seen these types of massagers pretty much everywhere for the past few years - they seem to be quite popular. In fact, I own one similar to this but without the temperature feature and range of adapters that this one includes. The nice thing about these is that first they are battery operated so you're not chained to a cord and, in turn, a nearby power outlet. Second, they are ergonomic in the sense that they are easy to hold and direct towards whatever muscle group or soft tissue you're trying to direct. What I like about this one in particular is, of course, its main selling feature - the temperature adjustment. Giving yourself a massage with one of these is nice, but giving yourself a heated massage is even better. I didn't find the 'cold' feature particularly cold but definitely found the 'heat' feature to live up to its name. Lastly, the unique attachment that this one comes with that I hadn't seen before is the 'fork' - that one works nicely as well to target knots in your back and shoulders.

Its very nice design and very easy to use, love the heat and cold option, its a good purchase. Will recoment to everyone.

This is my review for the Sharper Image - PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact - in the color - black I’ve had a couple of weeks to test this PowerBoost Pro Hot and Cold Compact massager and I really like it, but I feel like it could be better, The pros of this hot/cold massager: It is one of the least expensive ones that I have seen, so it is on the affordable side. It is easy to use and directions are user friendly - please make sure you read directions! Brings multiple attachments which is a huge plus and it is fairly easy to change attachments It’s not to heavy It is good for post work out muscle relief And also good for aches and pains Battery life seems ok it took me about 40 minutes to fully charge and I used it a few times before it needed a full charge again. I just hope that is is durable as it already has developed a small crack on the handle but it does not affect the use of the machine, I just wonder how the durability will be for the future and if it will last long. Other than that the quality is ok

Works well on all sore muscles, like the heat and cool option

Fantastic! Hits the spot. Would purchase again and recommend to others.
