Product Reviews of HoMedics PA-400H Therapist Select Percussion Massager with Heat
Product Review: Handy tool to have around at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little hesitant to purchase a wand-style massager; I didn't think they would be terribly effective. Happily, I can report that I was wrong. The device creates a very soothing (and powerful) sensation when used on the upper and lower back. Personally, I've found it feels great on the back of my neck. It also works well on cramping thighs and calves.
I purchased this model because of the value I perceived in the features (adjustable speed; heat) for the price I paid. I can honestly make the highest recommendation for this product to anyone considering it.
Product Review: Heat works fine
Summary: 5 Stars
I disagree with the other reviewers who are saying that the heat feature doesn't work well. Sure, it takes about five minutes to warm up, and you have to use the heating heads (i.e., you can't use the gel heads with heat), but that's plainly stated in the instructions, and makes sense.
Once the heads heat up, they're very effective. The massager has 15-minute auto-shutoff (for "your health" or some stupid thing), but you can just turn it back on, and the heads retain their heat for much longer than this delay.
You'll want to turn it back on, too. This thing is great for legs after a bike ride or shoulders after swimming or chest after working out (the variable-width heads are convenient). I like very deep tissue massage, and while this massager does not knead, the intensity can be cranked up high enough for just about anyone to be satisfied.
Reaching your back properly is difficult--but it would be with any massager. I suggest you get a spouse or boy/girlfriend to help.
One tip: If you use the massager near bone (e.g., top of neck), you're going to want to use the gel heads; the harder heads bounce when they hit bone.
Product Review: HoMedics Massager
Summary: 4 Stars
So far it has been great. Like the variety of attachments; especially the one with heat. It is a little heavy/awkward to use on yourself, but can still get the job done.Product Review: HoMedics PA-400H Therapist Select Percussion Massager with Heat

The best price around for this type massager. Price was my main reason for the purchase. Mine does heat up, but the massager does have to be running for a few minutes before you notice it. The programmable feature is nice as well as the many variable speeds. I would highly recommend it.Product Review: HoMedics PA-400H massager is a great product
Summary: 5 Stars
My girlfriend has vertebrae out of line in both her neck and lower back, due to accidents. She requires daily massage with extremely firm pressure to releive the discomfort in these areas. I have large hands and am quite strong and can manually massage her, but to do it hard enough tires my hands. Since getting the PA-400H massager, I can easily give her all the massage she needs for complete relief. The wide range of adjustments offered on this model are a big advantage. Massage heads can be spaced differently for different parts of the body and head style can be changed, even to heated heads. The programable pulses can be adjusted for different types of massage. We both like the unit for general body massage, as well as for pain relief for her. We highly recommend buying this model over any other, including lesser models by HoMedics, as this one has the most adjustments.
