Product Reviews of Homedics SBM-200H Therapist Select Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat
Product Review: Satisfactory, but not stellar...
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Totally unfamiliar with this sort of product -- with massage in general, in fact -- this chair pad left me less than impressed.
I decided I would place it on my computer chair, where I spent a lot of time. I have a chronic condition that leaves me with constant muscle pain, some in my lower back, so that's where I first put it to the test. Then I moved to the other settings.
Users have three remote-control options: lower back, upper back, and full back. They may add heat to any of these options.
While the slow circular motions did, indeed, massage my back, I found them a bit harsh (at one point, I feared for my kidneys...) In my opinion, a massage should feel good, but in a more subtle way; as the rollers made their way over my back, I was so conscious of them that it was actually distracting me from my work, and I had to move forward to ease my pain.
As for the heat, it was very subtle. Wearing a thin shirt, I wasn't even aware of feeling it at first. It was as if I were standing in a lukewarm shower. I've used heating pads before, which often became too hot within a short time. This heating option felt comfortable, but didn't overdo it.
Overall, I suppose there is some relaxation benefit to massage...but I wouldn't really hedge my bets on this product.

Summary: 3 Stars
I originally bought this item from Target; took it home and immediately set-up my massager I was truly eager to test it out. Did not have any problems with set-up whatsoever. I mean come on here it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out. So, no didn't read any directions to get started.
Usage - the shiatsu balls does hurt!!! There is no easy way to put this.
CONS: I have read everyone complains about does not reach far enough for their shoulders well I am 5'3" so this did not apply to me at all, sorry. However, my problem is I have pains in my lower back and this was absolutely not the solution for this. I could NOT feel anything in the lower back area which was an absolute waste of my money. Now, I will say this for mid-back to upper back usage this item is for you.
Remote: lots of cons here. You cannot control the intensity which to me what is the point!! Was a little cheesy for the money. Bottom line I took it back and ordered a massager I had years before which only cost $30 and i love it. It travels all the way down to my thighs and the vibration is powerful enough for me to enjoy and guess what best part i have options as to how much intensity I want. I should have known never had any problems with the one I had before gave it away because was no longer using it so got bored with it so now i have another one and love it, love it!!!!!

I love it. If I bought again, I might get the next step up which will massage in one area. But I like mine immensely.Product Review: Soothes Your Body, Relaxes Your MInd

Ahh, the the overwhelming feeling of relaxation- how beautiful it is! The Homedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat is a wonder. You take it out of the box, remove the security screw, place the cushion on a chair, read the directions, turn on the Demo button and see what happens. A delightful pulsing action is felt and the shiatsu massage starts up the back- you have several options, lower back, lower back with heat, upper back, upper back with heat, full back and full back with heat. Try them all and select the option that suits your particular need. I am partial to the full back with heat. I am 5'9" and this cushion is perfection for me. It hits all of the areas of my lower, mid and upper back. I have a stressful job and this cushion relaxes me completely and the heat adds the bonus. Love it, love it. Nothing beats a massage by a masseuse but this cushion shiatsu is almost as good.
