Number of programs
The number of individual operate programs provided for in the design of the massager.
It's important to distinguish this from massage modes (as discussed below). A single program can integrate multiple massage modes, such as vibration and infrared heating. Consequently, the count of programs may not necessarily align with the number of distinct massage types.
Anyway, the more modes, the more versatile the massager, the more ways it can be used. However such an abundance can affect the price.
Number of nozzles
The number of nozzles supplied with the massager.
Different nozzles can be used both for different types of massage, and for separate varieties of the same type (for example, nozzles for delicate, regular and intensive vibration massage). The more nozzles in the kit, the wider the possibilities of the massager. However, it is worth remembering that the specific set of these features may be different, it should be clarified in advance before buying.
Also note that nozzles can be sold separately.
Application
Parts of the body for which massager is intended.
While primarily linked to the massager type (as discussed earlier), the effectiveness of these devices can vary significantly based on factors such as modes and attachments. It's crucial to adhere to the specifications and guidelines for use, as even similar-looking models may differ in their intended applications. Using a massager in a manner not specified in the manual, even if permissible for a similar model, can result in various unpleasant consequences, including potential injuries.
Now on the market there are massagers for almost any part of the body, namely:
eyes,
face,
head,
neck,
shoulders,
arms,
back,
chest,
abdomen,
hips,
calves,
feet.
Heating
The presence of a
heating function in the design of the massager.
This function should not be confused with the infrared heat mode, as discussed in the "Modes" section. Here, we are referring to a conventional heater, which can also be combined with infrared heating. Heating typically serves as a supplementary feature, helping to dilate blood vessels, enhance blood circulation, and boost the effectiveness of different massage techniques. Some models even offer it as a standalone mode, such as heating pads, which provide added comfort during colder seasons.
