Would you pay US$1,991 for your very own finger-massage gadget? Hmmm… I’ve asked that question myself and I still have to put down my eyebrows in surprise. I think that’s too much for the DanBall Finger Massaging Robot, even if it would do shiatsu finger massages.
This gadget is designed by Ekbo. It works immediately after you insert all fiver fingers into those holes. DanBall will give you a one-minute massage, making sure every area (pressure points) of every finger is given the shiatsu attention it needs.
While operating the Danball will also treat your fingernails with infrared rays. They said it will help to improve growth. I think they’ve followed a lead that most computer geeks are biting their nails to the roots. Well, this just means more nail to bite in lesser time! :) lol. Danball will play soothing music too, just to keep you more relaxed and also know when it’s working and when the massage session is over.
Ok, now let’s look at the features:
