Product Reviews of Homedics QRM-400H Therapist Select Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion with Heat
Product Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this primarily because my wife's back continually knots up and causes her pain and lack of sleep. We had both used the dual roller model which has been on display at our area Walgreen's pharmacies. They were nice. When I saw a good price on the quad roller model with heat I thought I'd give it a try. I am not afraid to spend a little extra for an added benefit, but I don't spend $150 on a whim, either.
This product does what it advertises. As long as you follow the warning to remove the screw at the bottom of the chair (it apparently locks the moving parts in place during shipping, and the necessary Allen wrench is attached,) the setup is easy and the controls are simple to master.
It took two or three sessions over a couple of days to get used to the massage. I suppose it takes a few applications to undo muscle knots which took years to develop. The heat rises quickly and adds noticeably to the experience.
This product is now part of our nightly routine. It takes fifteen minutes to go through whichever cycle we choose and we sleep better.
As other reviews have stated, we wish the rollers would go up higher on the back. My wife wishes it would go a little lower, too. She'd like to try laying it on the bed and positioning it where she wants, but the product makes no provision for that kind of use. I imagine putting full body weight on the rollers would damage the motor.
Product Review: Good product

This is the best back massager i have found, but it still doesn't compare to a REAL massage. If you sit for too long it does get painful.Product Review: Good, but not good enough

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Do I feel better after I use this product? I guess the answer is yes. Do I enjoy using it, or look forward to using it, or feel like it does everything I thought it would? The answer is definitely no.
This massage cushion is designed to be used while you're sitting on a chair or the couch. But it's not as if you can sit down with a book, or watch TV, or really concentrate on anything while you're using it. For one thing, it makes an odd noise that will distract you. For another, the massagers feel like thumbs digging into you, and not in an especially good way. And finally, you'll probably spend a lot of time wondering when the rollers will finally reach your upper back. The answer is never--and that's a pretty annoying fact for a product whose remote contains the words "upper back" not once, but twice.
The bulky cushion is not comfortable to sit on, and it's not especially convenient. If you have an empty chair that you can just leave it on and never move it, this product might be for you. Personally, I'd rather get a chair with built-in massage abilities.
Product Review: Good, hard shiatsu action; love the heat!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very sturdy, solid unit. The only thing I don't like about it is its inability to dig into my neck and shoulders. I wish it could be used on a bed sitting up, since I don't own a recliner. I think it would be most effective if it was in a typical recliner position.Product Review: Great Product

Would tend to agree with the other reviews...The inability of the massager to "climb" all the way up your neck is the only issue...all else is fantastic!!! Would recommend this to anyone with a lower/upper back issue...
