Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager with Heat (FSA HSA Eligible) 3D Kneading 8-Node Deep Tissue Electric Massage Pillow for Chair, Car, Muscle Pain Relief on Shoulders, Legs, Foot (ZMA-25)

Fantastic for the price
My lower back likes to stiffen up and hurt if it doesn’t receive some kind of a massage on a regular basis.We were thinking of buying a full-sized massage chair. I used to work in a building with free massage chairs. I miss them. After some research, I discovered that not only are the good massage chairs very expensive, but they also like to break down and require maintenance.Enter, this nifty little back massager. Yes, it doesn’t operate in the same league as a full-on massage chair. It’s a bit more tedious to use. It doesn’t crack my back the way an excellent massage chair does. But it is also only a small fraction of the price. For what it costs, it packs quite a punch.When I first started playing around with the Zyllion back massager, I had to experiment with how much of my body weight I can put on it. If you put too much weight on it, it overheats more quickly. But oh, when I am lying on my back and it hits the right spots on my shoulders or on my lower back… I’m in heaven. And sometimes in a bit of pain – in a good way.One thing this little massager can do that a massage chair can’t: reaching all sorts of weird angles. A full-sized massage chair has relatively fixed mechanics. In contrast, the Zyllion Shiatsu Back massager can be placed anywhere on my body. Back. Front. Sides. The insides of my knees. Wherever.I like this device so much that I bought one for my Mom too.

Works well
I read the reviews and for the price (not high) thought I would give this a try. WELL WORTH the money. I would be surprised if ANYONE would not like this product. A nice alternative to a full chair back massage unit (and more discreet for use at work, etc.) I was skeptical, but I have to say that this thing feels great (possibly a little rough depending on how much pressure you put on it, but it doesn’t bother me). I used it right out of the box for about an hour, working lower back then moving it up every 5-10 minutes, then down and up again. I used it upright (power button on top) for lower back, then flipped it over for higher on the back. As the top and bottom rotating balls are not the same, I have to flip it over for my upper back for comfort. My back was totally unlocked after use — NEVER felt better. In short, you can’t go wrong with this unit. My ONLY critiques are the following. 1. The connection between the unit and the chord is not super tight, so I’ve disconnected it a couple of times. Not a huge issue. 2. The power button is not in the best location. When you use it upright (power button on top) – no issues. However, when you flip it over (power button on the bottom), which you may have to do for comfort and depending on how your back curves, the power button may (it does for me) press into your chair and power the unit off. It’s pretty annoying and the only reason this did not get 5 stars. The power button should be on the side where it won’t get pressed by your chair, or better yet on the chord itself. Having the power on the chord also would be better to make it easier to shut off (like if someone comes in your office while you’re using it), as opposed to having to fumble around behind your back.

Good but not great.
This is my third massager from this company, and I’ve generally been satisfied! That said, while this massager is fine, it’s not as strong as their other, less expensive, shiatsu massager. This one struggles audibly, almost squeaking when pressure is put on it (like when you lean into it). If I hadn’t been spoiled by earlier versions, I’d probably love this one—it feels much more realistic, like fingers actually massaging, but the struggling motor is a miss for me. I’ll be returning it and getting their other model.

Me lo puse en zona cervicales 6 minutos y acabe con una contractura que tuvo que quitar fisio. Estos aparatos tienen un riesgo alto, las bolas son muy duras…como un fisio cuando aprieta con sus manos, la diferencia es que el fisio sabe donde pone las manos y este aparato te lo pones tu. Las manos del fisio notan donde tienen que apretar, este aparato tiene dos 4 bolas durisimas. Por mi experiencia no lo aconsejo

When I first got this massage it was great works very well just what I needed unfortunately yesterday I was using it and there was a sudden pop noise and an awful smell obviously something has broken it the smell was quite pungent so I am scared now to use it again shame as it was going so well.
