We compared two cordless electric scalp massagers: the IOOKNA Electric Scalp Massager and the arboleaf Head Massager Scalp.
What we looked at
Number of massage claws, runtime, and price.
The verdict
If you want the lower price on a massager with more claws that doubles as a pet groomer, the IOOKNA is the value pick at £26.99. If you would rather pay £7.00 more for 3 speed modes with up to 80 minutes of runtime and a smart auto-off timer, the arboleaf is the alternative, at £33.99.
A £26.99 scalp massager with 12 claws that doubles as a pet groomer.
A £33.99 scalp massager with up to 80 minutes of runtime per charge.
