COMFIER Shiatsu Back Massager with Heat- Portable Massage Cushion, for Women/Men, Adjustable Kneading Massage Chair Pad,Chair Massager for Office,Home Use

The media could not be loaded. I already own one of the more common TOKZUVG Shiatsu Massage Pillows. I use it to really target knotted/trapped nerves in my back, shoulders and neck. It does such a good job, that when I saw this larger Comfier Shiatsu Back Massager on sale, I just ordered it, because I was already aware of the Comfier brand and the good reputation they have. And dear lord, I am so glad I did. I was expecting it to work the same as the pillow massager, but it moves the massage points in a completely different way. The massage points are also at different heights, to avoid too much pressure on the mid-spine. The shoulder points do a great job between the shoulder blades, but it is the lower back massage that is worth every penny, it is fantastic. The other great feature of the Comfier massager is the power plug. The transformer plug supplied with my pillow massager is really cheap. But the one supplied with the Comfier massager is a much higher quality switch-mode power supply, which I expect to work for many years. The unit itself is well made, with good materials and stitching. I prefer a stronger massage, so the flap that can cover the massage heads for a gentler massage can be unzipped and stored away in a drawer. The controls are easy to use while the massager is under your back, and the heat feature is a lovely soothing temperature. The massage heads glow blue with the heat off and red when the heat is turned on. There is also a nice little feature, where once the machine is turned off, the massage heads keep moving into a rest position, before the massager fully turns off. So you always start the next session with the heads in their correct start location. If anyone wants to extend the power cable, it is really easy, because these 12V massagers all use the common plug and socket system used for domestic CCTV cameras. So all you have to do, issearch Amazon for 2.1 x 5.5mm DC 12V Male to Female Power Supply Extension Cable for CCTV Cameras. You will find every length of extension cable you could possibly want.

We have found this relaxes the back muscles thus easing discomfort. The fact that it is easily transportable is a bonus. It is a good buy.

I've been using this pillow for the last few days, and its been really nice to use when watching TV at the end of the day. I tend to have painful and stiff upper back muscles, and this has been nice to really dig into the back muscles and loosen them up.I find I need to spend a minute to fiddle around with the positioning of the massager before the positioning feels good. But once I find it, I can relax into the massage for 15-30 min. The massager does time out, so you have to restart it. Also the heated feature is a nice touch.The unit as a whole feels robust and well made.

This massager is a great piece of technology. Those 12 massaging nodes work very well around the lower back at the pressure points relieving pain and stress. It’s the ideal massager to have it home for a self massage without burdening anyone. I recommended this for a friend and very next day he too ordered it. He too said this massager has given him relief from the lower back pain after along days work. All the functions work very well. It’s a good product to recommend

I LOVE THIS. The balls feel very hard - think somebody firing tennis balls directly behind your back. But it works. I put it on my chair and then turned it on with the heat for 10 minutes. It sorted my lower back pain pretty much straight away. I have to give a warning though. Don't over use this because it caused a massive headache the first time. It triggers the parasympathetic nervous system and over use will cause a painful headache. 10 minutes is enough.

The positive comments first, this machine offers various options for those who suffer lower to mid back pain. The movement of the pressure balls is good with the option to have heat, no heat or cold facility. Personally, the bulky size of the machine, its weight and the function buttons on the side made it very difficult to use whilst seated.I have severe neck and shoulder pain and sadly this machine due to the bulk didn't offer relief. Therefore this is more a personal issue not a manufacturing design fault.

Purchased for my husband who suffers with back ache. This helps ease the pain and provide some comfort. Very handy to be able to change the direction of the massage rollers, intensity and the heat to get the perfect massage.
