Ekupuz
Main features
The third on our list is another impressive device—Ekupuz neck massager. Its ergonomic, U-shaped design is made to fit different neck sizes. This massager is powered by electric impulses and offers 6 massage types and 16 intensity levels. Together with 3 heating modes, this device provides a range of combinations that even the pickiest people will find one to satisfy their needs. Another exciting feature is that you can choose from 6 pre-set time intervals (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes). However, complicated controlling is inevitable with so many settings—the massager comes equipped with a remote control that isn’t so easy to master. Another thing that prevented this device from scoring a higher place is its slightly higher price than our first choice, which increases even more with the shipping fee.
Design
Ekupuz at-home massager comes in a minimalistic white and grey design. Its simple U-shaped frame on the inner side has two pads that come in contact with the neck. This device is compact and lightweight, it takes up only a little more space than the TensionFix Massager, and that’s only because Ekupuz comes with a remote control that magnetically attaches to the main device. The controller itself is medium-sized and fits nicely in hand; it has a little screen and a control wheel with five buttons. Overall, this massager looks modern and can be worn in public without attracting too much attention, but most importantly, it is compact and portable, so you can easily transport it.
Ease of use
As impressive as this device is, its complicated controls made us think twice. It took a while to properly analyse the remote controller and how all the settings work. The remote controller has a wheel with a power on/off button in the center, also used for timing settings. The button at the top of the wheel switches between modes, and the bottom button controls heating. The buttons on the sides are used for increasing/reducing the settings. After all this confusion gets sorted, the rest is super easy—you just pop the massager around your neck and sit back relaxing.
🧘 Value
In general, Ekupuz is an excellent option if you’re tech-savvy and complex settings don’t scare you. It is equipped with a lot of great features, and the price isn’t too high, though you have to keep in mind that shipping costs extra. However, for us, the controls seemed unnecessarily complicated. That’s why this massager couldn’t score a higher place on our list. Being quite similar to the TensionFix Massager it just couldn’t beat the price and user-friendly controls of our Nr 1 choice.
