Homedics Massaging cushion
It did the job on the tester I used in Walgreens but when I purchased it as new from the company it came in as "used". I mean really used. There was 3 marbles in the box, product didn't work at all, and there was animal hair all over it. I must say though when I contacted Amazon.com and the company the refund and apologies were hyper speed.
great
great for the price with heat. gets the top of my shoulders and rotator cuffs. if it would stop in one spot, it would be perfect. there might be better, but i ordered this one again when the last one wore out (early, but hey).
Bad Return policy
Read the fine print before you buy! I received this massage cushion and it was broken straight out of the box. It turned on, but the massage mechanism was completely broken. When I asked for a return label to send it back, they told me to read the return policy which states "they will refund your ORIGINAL shipping charges to compensate you." Needless to say, to send back the product for standard shipping cost over , while the original online shipping price is only . I was already down half the price of the chair! When they finally received the returned item, I received a shipment notification that my replacement chair was on its way out. However, the next day I received an email that said they were sold out of the chair and would just give me a refund. So the end result of 3 weeks of hassle was that UPS made from me and .95 from Firefly Buys and no one received a chair. Try somewhere else!
And it's Got Heat, too
Whenever I'm in one of those cities that has one of those big designer malls, you know the kind, the kind with a Sharper Image and a Brookstone store in them (well, I guess most of them are out of business now, but you know what I mean), I just love to go to those kind of stores and abuse the free massage chair privilege. I just sit right down, fire the chair up, close my eyes and relax for about ten minutes or so. Then I try another, then another, they've usually got about three to four chairs and I can burn up an easy half hour, sometimes a whole hour, getting my free massages.
Yes, the sales people may get a bit annoyed, but what care I. I'm a guy who lets other's opinions or roll off his shoulders, like water off a duck's back.
Now while this little beauty, the Homedics Shiatsu Massaging Cushion may not be as fantastic as those chairs, it is about 00 cheaper, so for my money you can't beat it. Those rolling balls start at the base of your spine, work their way up to your neck and down again.
Fantastic!
And it sure as heck beats going next door and getting Mr. Bently to walk on your back. But then, I guess George Jefferson didn't have any choice, the Shiatsu Massaging Cushion hadn't been invented yet. But you don't have to go to your neighbor's, you don't have to go to the mall for a freebe and you don't have to pay four grand. You can pick up this really nifty shiatsu massager for a song and it's got heat too, such a deal.
BUYER BE WARE
This vendor is from puerto rico and what he sent me must have come from a 1920 pick up truck cab and if it was not for AMAZON doing the right thing-I would have been screwed. Product was used and missing parts-Advertised as new
