Vulken 17" Vibrating Foam Roller - Perfect for Targeted Muscle Relief and Improved Mobility

AnthroPrincess8: I've had this roller for two years and am furious that what could be a simple fix when it stopped working has been months of trying to track down a solution for. Roller was a solid 4 start purchase but then it just stopped working and wouldn't charge. Like most electronics after a while the batteries just give out, this is my assumption of what happened here. We tried looking online and contacting customer service to get information on replacing the battery and got no response. Paying this price for something to last only two years and then have to toss it into the landfill is inexcusable, and would be regardless of the price but I do expect more longevity from higher priced items. It would not be that complicated to just make it so that you can buy and replace the batteries. I have zero tolerance for companies that force excessive waste onto the consumer requiring them to rebuy a whole item every few years. Poor business ethics that I will not support. This is not the only Vulken item I've owned and unfortunately they've lost what would otherwise have been a customer for life. If you're the type of person that doesn't give a rats ass about the environmental impact of your...

Piccolo Grande: I think it's quite good for the price. I have it compared with other more expensive units and it's definitely not as powerful (in terms of vibration intensity) like the other one (don't remember the brand).

Overall I think it's good value for the money paid.
The controls are quite confusing, honestly and can be definitely improved.
I love the carrying bag. It keeps the unit clean.

Elena Chambers: Purchased for my son for who plays both baseball and football and it's been a lifesaver! He takes it with him on all tourneys and uses daily at home. Never had any issues!

rileyo: I borrowed a friend's vibrating roller after having a knee replacement because rehab is a lengthy process and the tendons at the back of my leg were tight and unhappy. Boy does vibration loosen the tight places! This one is a different brand for half the price of the one I borrowed but I have gotten my money's worth. It charges quickly and lasts long. 4 different settings make it versatile. You can use just the rolling part without vibration for loosening quads or hamstrings. My PT says vibration increases blood flow to the area where applied. I've been super happy to have it in my rehab toolbox.

Dr. K: I really like this roller. I have bought 2 so
that I couid have one at home and one at my parents’ house which I travel to frequently. Both have worked great and I have had both for over a year with no problems other than one of the lights went out that shows what vibration level I’m on, but that isn’t a big deal to me. The feature I LOVE is that there is a 10 minute timer built in which is the perfect amount of time to get a decent stretch in. When I commit to 10 minutes per day for at least 5 days in a row, I feel a huge difference in my body. I feel more relaxed and flexible. I feel like it improves my mood a bit too because my body feels good. It has gotten me into the habit of telling everyone I talk to about fitness “get into a daily stretching routine! You’ll notice a difference!” Ive used non-vibrating rollers and spiked rollers. Those are good too, but the vibrations with a timer has helped me stick to it and I feel I get better muscle relief from the vibrations. This is one of my favorite fitness products because I actually use it!!

Karl muellerKarl mueller: This product has been great! I was able to get my Vulken very fast and it has not disappointed me since I began using it.

I believe this product is great because it has a 4 mode setting for the vibration and a great battery life as well. The vibration settings really help to create more intensity in larger muscle regions (hamstrings/quads/ back) and can be toned down to the lower settings if necessary for smaller muscular groups like your wrist/ankles-calves and feet.

The product came in good quality and the carry case has a nice aesthetically clean look to it as well.

Hope people find this review helpful, I will be trusting Vulken for other health/fitness product like these in the future and will recommend strongly.

Keln B HuangKeln B Huang: Just got this little gem in the mail a couple of day ago. Used it after a hard training session on the squash court and weight room as well as pre-warm up stretch before a match.

The roller is on the hard end of rollers that I own and tried. It has 4 vibration setting to suit your comfort, soft, med, pulse strong and steady strong. To be honest I didn't know what to expect using the Vulken roller. I found that it was great to work out many of the kinks in the legs and breaking up the knots in my lower back.

As a recovery tool, I have always used a foam roller, but the addition of vibration is kinda a game changer for me. It's super soothing for tired achy muscles and I did find that it helped to reduce soreness the following day. I don't know if it was because I stayed on the roller extra long to take in the massage, but none the less was effective.

As a warm up tool I found the Vulken to aid in increasing circulation and movement in my legs and core area before stepping on court. I generally use the max setting and occasionally the pulsing setting as I find the first two settings not strong enough for me. It was a wonderful pre-game additional to my warm up...

PublicHead: About me: 5'11 160lbs male Product: Vulken 4 speed foam roller
Initial: This product came right on time and everything was brand new from the packaging. The black hard/dense foam on the outside doesn't look comfy. The battery was dead, so I had to charge it. (was probably sitting in the warehouse a while). No biggie, I just plugged it in and fully charged in about 2.5 hrs. I bought this after using the Vulken Acusphere (awesome little ball).

First use: Works as well as a foam roller you'd buy for yoga or physiotherapy. I needed it for my back and shoulders. The vibrations are pleasant from level 1. You can get more power at higher settings (really powerful at 4). I prefer the level 1 and 2. I tried using this on hard wood floors. It slides around too much. Switched to the carpet, it still slides. Put down a foam mat and then the roller. It reduced the sliding but the actual shape of the foam isn't enough for me. It doesn't grab on to you.

Good: Large working area (~17"), Strong vibrations and good battery life.
Things to improve: 1 - It's a bit too thick. The diameter of this is about 6" and It feels awkward on my back and shoulders. If it was a bit smaller I...

Calvin C: I have used the Vyper before purchasing this Vulken foam roller. Although the vibration is not as intense as the Vyper, it is still very usable and I am satisfied with it. Level 1 is very subtle, Level 2 is what I would expect from "Low", Level 3 is nice as it goes from Low to High, Level 4 is between mid-high on a Vyper.

The density of the foam on this product is firm but has enough give in it. I am happy with the product. There are no strange sounds while it is operating and seems to be a very solid unit. Maybe for the next revision, the plastic end caps of the unit could be recessed instead of rounding out. I store the unit on its end on a hard surface - my only worry is damaging the plastic ends.
