Hizoo Neck Relief Massager vs SKG HS500-2 Neck & Shoulder Massager

Buy the Hizoo if you want deep, heated kneading and can lie back for ten minutes at a time; buy the SKG HS500-2 if you want a light, foldable massager you can wear while working or traveling. The Hizoo is the heavier, more forceful device: four kneading nodes, two heat levels up to 42°C and three strengths, and its 4.9 rating from over 3,000 buyers backs the deep-tissue claim. The SKG is nearly half the weight at 880g, folds, runs about 70 minutes per charge and offers six modes with heat up to 44°C, but its kneading is gentler. Owners of the Hizoo warn it can feel strong or hurt at first and takes a night or two to position right.

• Choose the Hizoo if you want deep, heated kneading for stubborn neck and shoulder knots and don't mind lying back for ten minutes.
• Choose the SKG HS500-2 if you want a light, foldable massager to wear at a desk or on a trip and prefer gentler pressure.
