HoMedicsShiatsu Back and Shoulder Massage Seat | Adjustable Massage Chair, Release Muscle Tension with 3 Different Types of Massage, Rollers, Vibration, Soothing Heat | Black

I brought this item as gift for my son so didn't open the box until I gave it to him on his birthday. Very disappointed to find it came with a 2pin plug and not a UK plug. Nowhere on the description did it state the type of plug included.My son unable to use his new massager. When I contacted Amazon was told to either buy a converter plug or send it back. Have just bought the new converter plug and will now wait and see if it works. Not happy with service this time.

I have gained the following experience with this massager, overall it is very effective for the ' hobbiest' user and you have to be patient and get to know how to 'calibrate' with you own body geometry. Then results will follow.The heat function. Fantastic.Upper legs vibration, good too.So, ' calibration'.You have 2 buttons on the remote. Horizontal and vertical 'rake', I.e. How wide and how high the nodes travel.This the key to getting good results.Their is one more topic I must mention.'Positioning'.So 'rake' calibration.Put the massager on the chair and strap. Vertical to the chair back.Sit on the chair. Don't push into the nodes, just relax and rest against them. Legs can be extended or bent 90 degrees, hands on knees. Switch on and now you can Calibrate horizontal. So as guide, if your spines a straight line, where is the pressure on either side? is it wide or narrow, this is what the button will set, but only on the rolling setting, once set then switch to shiatsu. Play with this setting and you will find the 'magic angle' specific to you alone. If you are the going for ' full back' the top button is to set the highest movement of the nodes, again specific to you.Positioning. It's not just back vertical to the nodes. You may want to do the 'sides' How?With your legs at 90 degrees, hands on knees, move them as a pair left or right, and slightly twist your torso. Hardly move it at all, just slightly you are know massaging your side muscle ( obliques ), so this extends the use of this machine. Using this teqnique you can hit spot on the big lower muscles, it may take a while, get the position just right and bang, it's the best cash you've ever spent, because this will help you stay healthy.

I have has this product for only 8 months and already it has given me so mnay problems such as clicking noises and the material is not very durable at all! The mechanisms are not hard-wearing and do not work as well as they should for the price!!I am very dissapointed please do not purhchase look somewhere else!!!!!!!!

Had one of these back massagers years ago, eventually it stopped working. Delighted to find product still available, wouldn't be without it, certainly helps relieve muscle aches and tension in back muscles. Highly recommended

ONLY THE BACK MASSAGE WORKED BUT THERE WERE SOME LOOSE SCREWS WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX AND THE SHOULDER MASSAGE DID NOT WORK. VERY DISAPPOINTED. WILL HAVE TO RETURN NOW.

This is the top of the range model and fits easily on any existing chair. easy to use and is very theraputic. Best price anywhere.

Brilliant for my bad back, I know it is expensive and I was dreading buying it and feeling disappointed but I'm glad to say that didn't happen! Both the rolling and shiatsu settings are great and the option of heat is lovely, it really helps with knotted muscles, I do however use mine without the back cushion for a more intense massage as I think it can be too gentle with the cushion attached. Anyone that has tried it thinks it's a great invention and I'm really glad I purchased! :)
