What owners single out
In their words
“I read the reviews about the intense massage. They were spot on! Very powerful, and I have yet to go full throttle! I love that I can get a good massage while rolling my legs and back. I did make a mistake though. My 100 lb Chocolate Lab was laying next to me and I have him a little massage. Now I can't use it without him coming in and impatiently waiting his turn. He loves it!”
