Product Reviews of Homedics SBM-300H Therapist Select Shiatsu PLUS Massaging Cushion with Heat
Product Review: FYI
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say that I have really enjoyed all of the massage options this machine has to offer. Secondly, the price was also just right and the "FREE SHIPPING" option from Amazon was even faster than expected. Now with that said, this machine does a GREAT job of massaging your lower, mid and upper back areas. I personally enjoy the spot and heat massage options, because it really works out those tight knots on my back that are hard to get too with most regular hand held massagers.
I had tried this shiatsu masssager out prior while I was waiting for my prescriptions at Walgreens and I had liked the feel and options available, but apparently their used one felt VERY different compared to the brand new one I just bought. The new one is much more firm and stiff, so it takes some getting used to, but I have figured out how to manuever my back against the machine without major discomfort. This machine can also leave you a little bit sore at first, but that usually only happens if you press up too hard against the machine. I'm more than sure that once it gets broken in, it won't feel so stiff.
The adjustable width control feature is also a great option, BUT it can only be adjusted while you are using the rolling massage setting. However, once the desired width is set, you can click back to the normal shiatsu massage setting and it will recall the previous width setting. So far this machine has worked out pretty darn good for me. I had thought about buying the other shiatsu massager that had the built in neck massager, but my wife is too short, so this one worked out better for both of us. I also have the shiatsu pillow, so we use that instead, PLUS it give us more control over what parts of the neck we want massaged, not to mention it was more cost effective this way too.
Product Review: Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the massage chairs or massage wands I've purchased, this one far exceeds my expectations. It's fantastic! I'm able to sleep better on those evenings in which aching muscles would otherwise keep me stirring.Product Review: Fantastic Massaging Cushion--with only one tiny drawback.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This product is fantastic. I've had a knot in my mid back--right at the spot where you can't really touch it, no matter how you twist your arms around--that I haven't been able to deal with for a week. Enter the Homedics SBM-300H Massaging Cushion with Heat, and after three uses (last night, this morning, and again tonight), that knot is gone. Not only can you program two different types of massage (rolling and shiatsu--although I don't find the rolling massage personally appealing) up and down your spine, you can program this cushion to focus on the upper back, the lower back, or even to focus on one particular spot.
The only drawback is that I feel the cushion should go just a little bit higher. I'm not that tall (5'9"), and it only comes up to the middle of my shoulderblades. I have to slouch to get it to hit the part of my shoulder that tenses up when I'm at a computer--and at the end of the day, that's quite often the part of my back that needs the massage the most!
Product Review: Feels good - little noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
Works very well and feels good. It's a little noisy when working, that
would be my only issue. But for the money I think it is well worth it.
Product Review: Feels great but doesn't last
Summary: 1 Stars
I love this massage chair that I got as a Christmas present. I was enjoying it too much and left on the heat thus causing it to quickly overheat and die. Never got it to work again. So I exchanged it and never used the heat button at all. Now after one month it just simply doesn't work. Maybe it's the fact that we used it a lot but how disappointing. Only 2 months of use for $100. You decide
