"Shiatsu" literally means "pressure with fingers" in Japanese. Still, stout fingers aren't the only means to a good massage, as this unit can attest. The Shiatsu massager quite literally moves up and down your back with its state-of-the-art massage mechanism, deeply kneading the tightest knots along your spine while relaxing and invigorating sore muscles. The unit features three programs--for full, lower, and upper back--along with three speeds. It attaches easily to most chairs, and its cushioned layer delivers a gentle yet firm rub. Plus, there are no confusing, hard-to-reach controls; simply use the included programmable hand control to customize your massage on the spot. Enjoy the skill of a professional shiatsu massage therapist any time of the day. --Rivers Janssen

HoMedics Shiatsu Massager
This massager works and looks great. A feature which can be improved is the "idle" one, the mechanism won't retract to make a comfortable seat cushion -- instead your back will rest on the massaging balls.

Broke
It worked great for 3 or 4 days and then it got stuck.
I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it was still stuck, so I sent back to HoMedics.
That was a couple weeks ago and I haven't heard back from them. Hope they don't forget me.

Great Product! Great price !!
Bought this for my Aunt and she was very happy with the way it worked. She has a very bad back and its "fixes" her every time she uses it. The Shiatsu feature is great, makes it feel like a real massage. Fast shipping

should have listened
i read a lot about people who had problems with this product and still bought it, thinking they had been doing stupid things or using it wrong. unfortunately, during use on the first day it broke, the little gears got hung up at the top and didn't go back down. we unplugged it and left it for a day and my girlfriend got it to work the next day, but as soon as i sat in it it did the same thing. now it even does it for her. very frustrating, total waste of money.

Cheap seams
Had the massager for two months and when using it, the massager head on one side ripped the seam from the top to the bottom.
