Worth every penny!!
With that said I really wish Amazon would quit raising the prices if you’ve purchased one item and go back to buy it again and they’ve raised the price by half.. QUIT DOING THAT. YOU LOSE CUSTOMERS!! 🤬But this particular massager is Amazing! I have purchased a few along with my tense unit. I have scoliosis and rods in my back. So I get pinched nerves and all kinds of knots all the time! I live on my tense unit. But wanted something else. For my husband too. I got a gun massager for Christmas but that just hurts my back. This massager is absolutely perfect! Not a fan of it being plugged in. But it works! Mu husband even loves it! So 3 of us will take turns on it. I went to buy another one because it was like $35. But a month later it raised to $46. I will probably buy another one when ours dies but not now just to have a second one because they raised the price.I would absolutely recommend this massager! It’s well made and absolutely relaxing lol! Please go back to the original price and I’ll buy 2 more! 1 for me again and 1 as a gift! Sooo much relief! 10/10 would recommend!

Durability
This product is used several times a week and I use all 3 features together (heat, vibration, and massage). It has stood the test of time, after 8 years of use it’s finally time to replace it (I purchased it in 2016 and writing this review in December 2024). After an injury 10+ years ago I suffer from muscle spasms and this massager has helped me reduce the use of medication. It hasn’t looked great for a while but it keeps working. It was hard to justify buying a new one just for looks when it was working fine but it’s finally time now that the shiatzu ball on the left side has ‘fallen’ into the unit. I’m no longer getting equal pressure on both sides of my spine. I highly recommend this massager, it works great!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!! I bought this one and the full length one that goes onto a chair and rolls up and down the spine, and I have to say… I prefer this one more. Why? Because it can go ANYWHERE! I’m reading people complaining that this isn’t wide enough to hit this muscle or that… hello!… just move it! Of course, you need to avoid direct pressure on your vertebrae, and as long as you do that… the possibilities are endless! I have side-lied on this and dug out the connections in the underarm. I have sat on it and gotten the glute and hamstring attachments. You can do calves, feet, even the groin. Maneuvering to find just the right position and pressure can be a bit daunting at times… however, it is well worth the effort when you hit THE SPOT. I am a bit spoiled because I have a bed where I can adjust the incline and so a bit easier to find just the right position and pressure without so much work “holding” it. But I really can’t rave enough about this product. I have a lot of deep adhesions that require A LOT of pressure and time to dig out. When I first got this, I thought for sure I would break it within a week since I found I needed to apply all my body weight on it, and needed to use it for well longer than the 15 minute time limit. I could tell I was taxing the device as I bore all of my 180 pounds onto it. But to my surprise, it has withstood this type of repeated abuse for a year now. It is just getting to the point of break down as I can feel/hear something is loose inside and moving around when it shouldn’t be. And I will MOST DEFINITELY be buying a new one. Because even if I have to pay for one new one per year… the cost for one is cheaper than ONE, one-hour massage. And seriously, I have paid for massages that produced less results than this product. I like deep pressure and this product delivers…. better than some trained professionals. If you do not like deep pressure or are sensitive to it, than this may not be the product for you. If you have deep adhesions that have sat for a long time, it could be very painful initially. Do it as deeply and as long as you can tolerate, (make sure you can breathe throughout), and then take a break. Stay regular with it, and eventually you will find the freedom you have been longing for. Don’t use on bare skin, especially with the heat feature, as you can cause a skin-burn (like a rug burn), from rubbing the same area too long. (This may still happen even with a clothing barrier). But also don’t use your favorite shirt as it can stretch it all out in the spots where the balls are.If I could make any suggestions to the makers on how to improve this product it would be:1) Change the on/off button to a switch on the cord. It is very frustrating to be on a spot and then wiggle a bit and accidentally press the on/off button.2) Make the cord a wee bit longer.3). Make a car adapter for it, with a chair strap to hold it in place. :)Any shortcomings of this product, however, are outweighed by the immense healing ability it provides. I truly love it and again… highly recommend it!

Llego a tiempo lo compre para regalo de cumple de mi mami y cuando lo abrimos vi que el material es de excelente calidad, y a ella le fascino, no solo masajea la espalda tambien sus pies tus piernitas y es super útil, asi que lo recomiendo 100%

My girlfriend was having constant neck pains (it stems from a trampoline injury in her youth), and it flares up during extended studying or lab work. Since I couldn’t keep up with the massage demands this was chosen as an alternative. Her particular interest was the portability and easy to store shape compared to some of the competition. There is a heat setting that can be added and an auto time off. There is also a vibration feature that can be used with our without the massage feature and the buttons are built into the pillow (like pillow buttons) making them really unobtrusive to the experience. The massage feature itself is very intense (it is made up of 2 large and 2 small hard balls that rotate in unison) and you can move yourself up and down and flip the pillow around for a different feel/intensity. This can real change the type of massage you get. After a little time we started using it on feet, calves, and thighs – it really is amazing how flexible this neck pillow can be. One of the best features is the strength of the motor, it seems difficult to bog down and can handle a lot of pressure which is refreshing when things are typically underbuilt today.
