Hi-Dow Mouse Massager Review December 26, 2009 Mike (Baltimore, Md.) I purchased this based on a recommendation from a friend who claimed he walked around with the mouse in a shirt pocket and kept it running for a half hour at a time connected to his sore shoulder, back and arm. I admit I was skeptical until I tried it. It definitely gets your sore muscles jumping and does leave them feeling relaxed. I think it’s a good product.
Mighty Mouse Indeed! December 7, 2009 Nuknuk (Springfield, VA United States) First of all, do not compare this with a real personal massage.
Now that we have set that straight, let me tell you about this product. This unassuming, cheap looking plastic, that is called a massage mouse is simply amazing. Have you been to a chiropractor? I have. I went to a chiro for 6 months after ruining my back when we moved 5 years ago. They strap to me a similar gadget on my back with two leads. Electric impulses sent through the wires which cause my muscles to tingle. I lay there for 20 minutes and then send my insurance a bill for a hundred bucks. Of course, what they hook me on is more of a professional instrument; but nevertheless, at least, for me the feeling is the same. It is extremely relaxing. It never occurred to me that you can have your own personal tension reliever gadget. While using this, I listen to my favorite soothing music and it is just great.
This is made by Hi-Dow. They have several models and this mouse is the least inexpensive. It comes with a 9 volt battery, 2 pairs of pads (1 big that is shaped like little hands and a smaller egg-shaped pads), the wires, manual, the mouse, and ears. The ears has no use at all except to make it look like more of a mouse. It says in the manual that it can be used as a document holder. Sound weird, but that’s OK. Their more expensive models can range to 100 to 300$ and you can see them being offered on those little carts on the malls. Those can be more powerful, has more combination of massage types, comes with a digital LCD screen, or you can hook two pairs of leads to be used by more than one persons or for multiple body locations.
This model has 3 modes including a combination cycle of massages. It has a small on/off switch that also set the intensity of the electric current. 1 hour automatic turn-off. If you have body aches and muscle pains, this gadget can work wonders.
(But of course, you should seek professional medical advice first concerning one’s health.)
Hi Dow mouse December 5, 2009 Susan Robinson I bought this as a replacement for another mouse we had that broke (we dropped it). Love it. Just wish it had a belt clip so you could clip it to your clothes when carrying it. Great product!
Sent it back September 12, 2009 Debberdee (Santa Cruz, CA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
It arrived with a piece missing in the battery compartment but the instructions were poor, so I foolishly spent time troubleshooting until I realized that it was just not going to work.
A must have for back pain June 2, 2009 W. Dragschutz My wife bought this and had it for years and I just thought it was a gimmick. One day I twisted my back and it got worse day by day to where I could hardly walk. I was half stooped over and just kind of shuffled at a real slow pace. I tried the massage mouse and it really helped ease the pain. It helped enough that I could stand up straight and walk at a normal pace. So I stuck the mouse in my pocket and wore it to work for about three days. After that my back got better and I haven’t had any problems since. I was worried that 3 days of use might damage something but it didn’t.
I recommend this to anyone who suffers through back or muscle pain, which is just about everyone.
