LunixLX3 Hand Massager Machine, FSA HSA Eligible, Shiatsu Hand Massager with Heat and Compression for Arthritis and Carpal Tunnel, Pain Relief

***UPDATE***It still is going strong, but using it as hard as I can get it to squash my hand (I do love the pressure for my fingers and wrists), there are definite cracks formed from doing this as often as I do. I would have the company update the unit with the same surrounding reinforcement they have on the wrist side, and add that to the finger tip portion of the unit. Hard to describe, but it cracked around the edges of the casing at the fingertip end of the unit. The screws are still locked in, but with the amount of pressure I force this thing to go through In giving me comfort, it hasn't lost it's strength in massaging/squeezing my hands for my bi-weekly ritual due to my job and my rock star lifestyle (Ha, jus kidding!). It's only cracked, and when fully inflated, I can visibly see the the crack and the pieces splitting apart. I'm talking 1/4 inch split in a crack on one side, and less on the other side (due to the screws still tight). When deflated, it disappears. The crack isn't visible when not in use until I feel for it or point it out. The unit is STILL GOING STRONG, and haven't had the need to replace it just yet till it is fully from itself.Original review:Ordered this on a very recent Lightening sale....was gonna go half with a buddy, but the sale was too good to pass up, snatched at that very moment.Had to charge it when received. It doesn't take long to charge up to use for a quick session, So I also tested it out at full charge.Build Quality - Not too shabby. I ordered the matte black one.... MAJOR FINGERPRINT MAGNET... otherwise, I should've gone with the white one (unless it's a matte white, in which case may work out better for the oily fingerprints that appeared on my unit from the very first time of unboxing it. (Not a good sign...but not a deal breaker). The touchscreen (not like an android/iPhone) is the same. Mirror type finish on plastic. Also fingerprint prone. Just a bit annoying when there is visibly nothing to see until you start messing with it. I was able to unknowingly hit the screen while in it's travel bag and hear the audible beep. Also another fingerprint magnet...not necessary for something like this, but more of an inconvenience than a full on deal breaker.Charging the unit - Like I mentioned, doesn't take too long to charge to use the unit to use (up to the 2nd bar flashing after I received it), but be aware that it doesn't have a long battery life (More on that later on). I used the unit twice in 15 minute timer mode with heat and massage on pulse....was down to 1 bar of power at the end of that initial session (1 session for left and right hand)....I would say takes about 2 hours to fully charge from the 1 flashing bar....but I also have a quick charger if that made a difference (Anker 5 port USB charger with IQ charge), but it still took it's time to charge). Depending on the settings, you can extend those sessions out...but it will be at a cost of the battery draining faster to run the pump, heat, and massage. But the benefits are what put this above my critiques.Massage quality - This is what I bought the thing for, the quality of the massage. Will it replace a hand massage from a legit therapist? No. It's not like that, nor are there massage modes for just the fingers (which I get from time to time from legit therapists), like spreading fingers, or that specific lump of muscle in-between the thumb and 1st digit (you know when you self massage that spot yourself). This massage is more compression than percussive (a la massage guns). The programs on this is outstanding. I just kinda stayed on full hand, and tried the other separate settings later on. I also stayed at the intensity at 6 (just to test it's limits). I play guitar, work at a computer desk with heavy copy/paste on a keyboard and on remapped buttons on a mouse 8-10 hours a day. The compression works best for me at the end of a day, or after playing guitar for an extended time. I fell asleep during a second 30-minute timer with full hand (wrist and palm/fingers) with heat and continuous massage on. Woke up about 10 minutes after it auto shut off (Glad the timer works!) Also, be aware of the marks it leaves on the skin (fingers and wrists especially)...check the other reviews/pics on this, but really it's not major unless you are dehydrated, and there's other underlying issues than a bad massager leaving marks on your fingers, palms, and wrists.Here are my small gripes that happened while using it....Battery life - After the initial 15 minute session I mentioned above, I recharged the unit to full and did two 30 minute sessions for each hand and one 15 minute session (all with heat and pulse massage on), went down to 1 bar on the unit...not too much of an problem, but having multiple users could be an inconvenience (This is where you then also buy the LX3...overkill, but appreciated if the unit is shared in a houshold :D) Ran it through it's paces...It did a lot better than I expected, and the compression was still outstanding for me (at level 6). Lasted longer without the massager and heat, but that was to be expected for me. I just kept the pressure at level 6 the entire time in all the testing to see if it could cause issues like power drain during compression/inflation. I'm sure it would also last longer on a lower pressure setting, but I never bothered to change it. It just felt so good at level 6 during all my testing, I left it there. Happily there were no issues, and exceeded expectations because of that.Finish - as mentioned, the matte black finish and the screen are definite fingerprint magnets. On a white, it may not be as visible, but I am unsure if it is the same texture as the black one. The touch screen is sensitive while in it's carry bag. I heard it beep when I was carrying it from my car to the office (I brought it to work with me...YAY for cordless!) I don't have the LX3 version, but I am sure that they could get a revised version of the LX7 set-up with the LX3 style buttons arranged for the LX7, and it would probably be golden for me. Otherwise, This unit is going to stay at home. Again, this is more inconvenience than anythingSo after 2-3 hours of testing, I can only fault it's battery life, touch screen, and finish. But I am SUPER happy with this thing! (Also the small hand warmer is a nice touch. It get's real hot, but simple solution for that: use gloves when using it. now wish I had 2nd hand warmer...LX3 purchase maybe? LOL). I'm already recommending it to my musician friends and anyone in the office who is willing to give it a try.

Disclaimer: I don't recommend, and I am certain Lunix would not recommend doing what I did with this product for the first time.I bought this bc I suffer from chronic tendonitis in both wrists (about 20 years). I did strenuous yard work a few days ago and I've been moving extremely heavy furniture. I've also been typing and writing a lot more than usual. So, I was in a lot of pain and had some swelling when I used this for the first time today. Pain medication was not helping me at all. I used it on my right hand first today (using it for the first time ever since I purchased it) on Program 1 and lowest intensity level just to play it safe, I didn't notice any difference immediately afterwards.Then I used it on my left hand at the highest program setting and on the greatest intensity. I thought my hand was going to explode because it squeezed so hard, I will say that it wasn't exacerbating my pain but it was a little uncomfortable, I was just not used to this much pressure. It sort of reminds me of a professional deep tissue body massage. After the program finished, I noticed that the pain in my left wrist/hand was gone.So, then I tried on my right hand again. But this time I used the highest program, maximum intensity and added heat. I truly wanted to push it to the limits. In the beginning of using the heat, I didn't feel a difference and wondered if the heat setting was working. After about a minute or so, I started to feel the heat. The heat was tolerable but I will never use it at the same time I apply the highest program with the maximum intensity again, it was too much for me. I am used to applying cold compresses to my hands/wrists, not heat. I cut the heat off immediately and continued with the program. The great thing is that the heating feature is separate and can be turned off if you prefer. After the program finished on my right wrist this time around, I noticed a difference immediately. My right wrist was no longer in pain but it was still slightly swollen, which I think can be expected. I tried the vibration setting on its own as well for about a minute, but I am not a fan of it, some people may like that sensation.Another thing that I would like to mention is that your hand will look like someone tried to poke holes through it, especially if you use the highest intensity level. It is merely a temporary imprint from the massager and it goes away after about 30 minutes max.Overall, I am happy with this product, I believe it was worth every penny. I want to buy another one so that I can use it on both hands at the same time, just in case one breaks or to keep locked away at work/school. I feel that the price is very reasonable. The hand massager is a beautiful black and has a smooth, almost silky texture. The material on the inside of the massager is smooth and gentle on my skin as well. I also loved the plastic finger massager that came with it, I put it in the freezer and use it to massage my fingers after writing or when they are cramping. I used the finger massager before I used the machine because I allowed the hand massager to charge for a while. I plan to take really good care of it, time will tell if the product will last a long time. If it lasts at least 5 years, I would be very pleased and would readily by this exact hand massager again.Hope this review helps someone. Stay happy, healthy and safe everyone.😊

I ordered the Lunix LX3 Hand Massager because I've been dealing with constant ulnar wrist pain from weightlifting. The Lunix LX3 helps with increasing blood flow and circulation in my hands and wrist by using air compression....not kneading. There are small rubber bead-like materials inside the massager which is the reason why you see most pictures from users with indentations on their hands after use. This is temporary and goes away in no time.How I personally use the Lunix LX3 massager is by using it in either the level 3 or 4 intensity setting and using Program Mode 1 which targets the fingers, palm, and wrist. I use the heat setting sometimes depending on how my wrist feels. The Vibration setting in my opinion is useless since it is very weak and makes do difference with how my hands feel after using the massager. The massager has a pulse mode and a continuous mode.The battery life is great. I get many uses when the battery is at 100% charged. When there is 1 bar left on the batter indicator, it can still work for a few more massages. The massager operates and works 15 minutes at a time and automatically shuts off. There is no option to increase duration. You will have to simply turn the massager on again after it shuts off if you decide to continue using it.Other accessories this product comes with is a manual finger massager and a double sided hand warmer. The Lunix LX3 charges via a USB-C wall charger which is included.Likes👍🏼 Helps Relieve Hand Or Wrist Pain Through Air Compression👍🏼 Several Intensity & Air Compression Modes👍🏼 Heat Mode👍🏼 Long Battery LifeDislikes👎🏼 Weak Vibration Mode
