The Pure-Wave CM5 is a very good cordless percussion massager. This model comes with 3 massage attachments that will provide different massage experiences. This massager’s powerful percussion motor delivers up to 3700 RPM, more than enough for a thorough massage.
Features and Programs
One of the things we particularly enjoyed about the CM5 is its well-thought design. This unit is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also very effective. The handle is very easy to grasp, the massage mode and speed are easy to adjust, and you can change the massage attachment in no time whatsoever.
Another great thing about this model is that it comes with a percussion motor. This motor is very powerful, and it can deliver up to 3700 RPM. This is a very high speed, and most people will find it too aggressive to their liking. However, this rotation speed will ensure that your muscles will be activated, so they will be relieved of all the knots and tensions.
The CM5 comes uses a 2200 mA Lithium battery. The battery can last for up to 180 minutes, which should be enough power to last a whole week if you use the massager for up to 20 – 30 minutes each day. The battery doesn’t take too long to recharge, and you can recharge an empty battery in about 60 minutes.
A good thing about this unit is that every massage attachment has a different role and performs a different massage. The six-head stick is better suited for covering large areas in a short time, which makes it perfect for your back and thighs. This attachment is specially designed to improve circulation and relieve stiffness, so it’s suitable for muscle stretching, to stimulate motion and flexibility, and to fasten your muscle recovery.
The point stick attachment is great at breaking up the muscle knots and relieving pain. This massage attachment is specially designed to provide a deep-tissue massage, so it will reach areas beneath your surface muscles. The resulting massage will be very relaxing, and you can even use this attachment to target specific tension points in your muscles.
If you’re not a big fan of rough massages, the air-cushion attachment is the one you should use. This massage attachment produces a softer massage, and it will be more soothing to your muscles. This attachment is a good fit for people who suffer from aching joints or those who enjoy a relaxing massage at the end of the day.

Pros
- Great Recharge Time – This is a cordless model that can’t be used while it’s charging. Luckily, the whole recharge process doesn’t take more than an hour. For a 180 minutes battery life, this is awesome recharge time.
- Nice Massage Attachments – The CM5 comes with 3 massage attachments. All of them provide different massage experiences, and you can change them easily. You can change the attachments to target a specific area, or to personalize your massage sessions.
Cons
- Stops Working – Some customers have complained that their massagers stopped working after only a few uses. If this happens, you should first make sure you’re charging the unit properly. If the charging process seems alright, you should take care not to push the massager too hard against your back. If the motor is hard-pressed, it will shut-off as a safety feature. If this is also not a problem, contact the manufacturer.
- Takes A Little To Get Used to – Some people might find the massager difficult to tolerate at first. If this is the case, you should use the massager for no more than 5 – 7 minutes for a few days until you get used to it.
