Homedics Back Massager with Heat, Shiatsu Elite II Heated Neck and Back Massage Cushion. 3 Different Massage Styles and 3 Massage Zones. Comes with Controller and Chair Straps

Works great, very relaxing. The heat can get very hot and the adjustable neck massager is heavenly. The kneading action is great too. I am a 6'1" athletic man and the pressure is great and makes my sore muscles feel better. The movement is similar to the massage chairs at my gym. I imagine if you are heavier than you used to be, that would play a significant role in how any massage will feel. My lastvhomedic massager lasted forever with lots of use.

I have owned this for 16 months. It was really great and saved me so much pain. For that I give this 4 stars. I had no problems until now so I had to remove one star. =(Last night while using the lower back massage, I heard something snap. Since then, the massager no longer works! It is making grinding and popping noises. I don't know what I will do without it. Please help.

Omg! AMAZING?

This brand went downhill. I had purchased one of their massagers 10 years ago from Bed Bath and Beyond that was 1000 times better than their new massagers and the old verison even had a joystick so you can reach any spot you want. The rollers were actually stronger too. I don't know what happened to this company but they just don't care to make a good product anymore. Sucks because I had their great messages for 10 years ago and it just broke and now I can't buy the same quality massager. DON'T BUY IT'S GARBAGE!

I bought this for my mom years ago at Bed Bath and Beyond. I’m not kidding when I say this is better than any massage I’ve ever had. You can seriously hurt yourself with the neck/shoulder massage that’s how good it is. I bought one for myself because I moved. This is easy to store and as a teacher, I sometimes bring it onto my class and put it on my chair at my desk and use it during my lunch/prep!

So, maybe this only works for tall people? At 5'8", the neck/shoulder feature of this massager was useless - it only managed to get my neck and lower skull, and wasn't comfortable at all.The back portion was good, but the range was terrible - it only moves maybe a few inches up and down, and doesn't come anywhere close to covering your entire back. Unfortunate, because it really was pretty comfortable. It does a nice job getting your lower back but doesn't come close to getting near your shoulder blades.The heat was good as long as the massager was moving. If you have it on "spot" mode it got entirely too hot and felt as thought it was going to burn you.I returned mine and am going to try to find another option with more or a range to cover your entire back.

I love this massage cushion. I have had back issues for 40 years. I always dreamt of buying a fancy massage chair to ease the pain. Could never afford it. I tried a massage cushion (different brand) at my uncle's house and had to get one. I shopped and read reviews to settle on the HoMedics Shiatsu Elite II. I have had it for a month and use it almost every day. I often wake up with a stiff back, so I head downstairs to use the cushion and it loosens me up. I really wish I had found it years ago. I feel like I have already gotten my money's worth in just the first month. My wife uses it too. Visitors use it and have mixed feelings. Some love it, others think it is "too hard", and one friend bought their own. I am 6 feet tall, so the neck rollers hit me on top of the shoulders, but that is where I want them. I can adjust them down to work my upper back. When you use the upper and lower rollers at the same time, you may need to adjust your body to get the correct pressure for each. Towards the end of the programmed massages, the lower pad can get very hot. I will definitely buy another one if this one ever stops working.

I had the older model and honestly the settings on the older one (just died after 9 years so 1000% recommend this brand) I liked the tapping and other features that aren't on this one.. this one the rejuvenation and soothing feel the same. The headrest neck area is much stronger than the back area, heat works well. It's pretty much the same as my old one except the top is different. I'm still adjusting. I do however like that this one feels more sturdy (definitely heavier). I also really like the adjusting height of this model. A bit pricey but I bought my original on kohls and honestly they wanted way much more so this price is much better decided not to purchase from kohl's for that reason.
