This has been a lifesaver and will change your life, guaranteed. I am an older male who is still active and sometimes I push myself pretty hard. My muscles tense up and my wife is unable to massage with her hands alone. THIS is better than a "normal" massage. OK, that is, it costs only electricity and the time of your partner, is more easily available and I have found that the percussion quality of this device works every bit as well as a typical therapeutic oil massage. Granted, it doesn't provide massage to the face, scalp, fingers, etc., etc., that a skilled massage therapist can do, but hits all the main targets, never gets tired, cramps, etc. and with its' long handle, one can get a fairly decent self-massage if a willing "masseuse" is not available.
The length and weight of this device permit the user to apply just enough pressure to really get into the deep tissue where knots and pain reside. Sometimes, depending on the head used and the operators' technique, pain will be "discovered" residing in the shoulder blades, back, ribs, glutes, etc. that can then be massaged "out" through this device. Once that is done, vast amounts of tension leave the body, allowing for complete relaxation, deep, uninterrupted sleep and a much more relaxed state of mind.
The vibration speed is fully adjustable. I like High, my wife likes Low.
Technique is very subjective, but I recommend the following for best results.
1) Near the edge of the long side of your bed, pile 3-5 pillows on top of each other and place your upper body on the pillows. This allows your ams to fall downward, not outward and is similar to the experience one might have when on a massage table. Here, your Trapezius and Rhomboid muscles are accessible, as your shoulder blades have moved outward. Your legs and feet can be open naturally on the bed. You may wish to have just your feet off the end of the bed. A rolled up towel or blanket under the ankles may help here instead of feet off the bed. The downward facing head can be supported with a small pillow or two under the forehead as well, allowing access to the length of the back of the neck.
2) Start gently with the top (neck, base of the skull) of the back side of the body and work downward doing one side at a time. Use care and avoid bony areas such as skull, ribs, elbows, ankles, etc. Small circles are best. Vary the pressure depending on the size, mass and direction of the muscle tissue. Larger muscles require more aggressive application and more massage time to relax. Experiment with your partner to find out his/her needs. Some slightly lighter pressure long strokes may feel great horizontally across the back/ribs, femurs, calves, or you may hate having that area massaged. Everyone loves having the bottoms of their feet massaged, especially the arches.
3) Some areas on the front of the body may be massaged using this device, but use caution here.
4) Use of a cotton sheet over bare flesh keeps you warm and prevents the massage machine head from pulling hairs, ouch!
These machines will last about 2 years with daily use. I highly recommend this item and would buy it again.
UPDATE Dec. 2, 2016
I purchased this item on March 7, 2016. It makes a LOT of noise and is starting to fail. My earlier assumption that it will last 2 years was wrong. It has not lasted one year! I know from past experience that if you use this item daily or 3-5 times per week, that is considered a lot. The internal parts are often made of plastic and wear out. This item is made cheaply to a specific price point. This has been used for only 9 months and is near the end of its useful life. I still recommend it, but now am disappointed that it didn't even last one year.

Manufacturing problems
*Update* - Well one day after writing my review, it broke again, I hear the screw rattling around... So, I will go forward with returning the broken unit, there are very poorly manufactured. After posting my photos I noticed MANY MANY others with the same issue. Perhaps Wahl will either make some changes or discontinue this product.----------I bought this massager and it didn't last long before I heard something rattling inside, then shortly after that it broke, So I ordered a return/replacement. I was very cautious using the replacement, not a lot of pressure, etc... It only lasted a couple days before it did the same. SO, I took that one apart and found that there is a large screw that had fallen out which holds the cam on the motor (pictures attached). Still had the first one and turned out to be the exact same issue.I fixed them both and have decided to keep both, will update this review if they start falling apart again.Thing I like, this massager is a bit slower and not as intense as some of the other ones I own. Something I dislike is that it's easy to hit the speed control wheel when you're trying to get your back (hits your shoulder for example and cuts off or changes speed...) also sometimes if you use a bit of pressure at the right angle it starts making noise like the motor has turned or something, able to turn off and apply some opposite force to make it go back to being quieter again.But getting two with the same screw loose makes me think there might be a bad batch out there where they didn't tighten that screw down in manufacturing or something...
