TRIGGERPOINT Impact Buffer

Device was recommended to my by my physical therapist. I ordered it hoping for good results. Sadly, like most reviews when I received it the only thing I could have used it for is a paperweight. Did not charge or power up. Spoke with customer service asked for and received a replacement. Also was just a well made paperweight. Asked for a received a refund.

I am a massage therapist and I use this on clients and they love it! It is so much better than the massage guns, imo. Most of the clients I've used it on have said they like it better than the guns as well. Those are great for some areas of the body, but (imo) too much a lot of the times and too easy to use too much and/or too high of an intensity. Plus when you are sore I would think the last thing you would want is someone/something punching or poking you, and that is what those are basically doing. This massager vibrates and oscillates (like a polishing buffer, hence why they call it Impact Buffer) and is so much better on tight and sore muscles and soothing to the nervous system. I've used it on a variety of clients, including elderly clients, and they all said they really liked it. When I have a client that has a tight spot or area that doesn't seem to want to move, I use this for a couple of minutes, the muscles loosen up and I am able to work the muscles better. I also use this on myself and found that it very effective and soothing to the muscles. I had considered buying this for a little while, as it seems every massage therapist uses the guns and I don't like those. Then I took a class with one of my favorite instructors and he uses a similar massager and he was talking about how and why it was better than the massage guns, though that one is a bit larger, more expensive, and needs to be plugged into an outlet. After that class I bought this Impact Buffer, as it is compact (compared to the other one), has a nice carrying case, and has a rechargable battery, which lasts a good amount of time. The surface area is smaller than the one that instructor uses, but I think that is better because you can target specific areas better. This one also comes with a pointed head, so you can really target a specific area. I mainly use the flat/rounded head, and have not used the other ones all that much. I did have to reach out to customer service, they were very responsive and got it resolved very quickly.

Won’t power up or charge. Same results from the unit I originally purchase and the replacement I subsequently got. The boxes looked brand new. However, both units neither charge or powered up. There was a line in the manual that said to never let the battery get depleted of charge. I wonder how old these units were kept in inventory without dallo g that this could have been the very issue. The batteries went unused for so long that now they weren’t responding. Not a good thing.

The product worked well until the head came loose. I tried contacting customer support but couldn't find a support number or email It's like they don't have customer service. i had the product for 6 months and the head is coming apart. i really did like the massage buffer it worked well until it broke. would I buy it again. No. no customer service and it broke too quick.

If there was a zero stars option I would have used it, waited for the Item, exited to try it, but it does not power ON, should have read the reviews before buying it

Unfortunately the battery doesn't work. I tried to buy one at a store and the battery didn't work. They checked their remaining inventory and none of them worked/turned on. I assumed they got a faulty shipment, so purchased this on Amazon and once again this one did not want to charge or turn on. I generally love TriggerPoint items, but unfortunately this one seems to be faulty.

Recommended buffer. Buff u up

These things are horrible.and not trustworthy. I've bought 2 and right out the box they didn't work. Both wouldn't charge. The customer service I ce is horrible. There's no phone number to reach. They only respond via email I've written them 3 times and they dont respond when you email them.. it's a waste of time because if it breaks there's no way to get help, they won't respond for returns. Do not buy, you'll be sorry if I could give no stars i would

Je viens de le recevoir seul bemole, la prise n'est pas à la norme française. A voir dans le temps

Vale cada centavo que pague por el funciona muy bien y masajea bien las zonas a tratar
