SnailaxShiatsu Neck and Shoulder Massager - Back Massager with Heat, Deep Kneading Electric Massage Pillow for Neck, Back, Shoulder,Foot,BodyGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

This classic neck back Shiatsu massager is the only model of the same make and genre in the market that can do proper Kneading and Shiatsu massage. I am saying so out of my personal interest in these neck back hand strap massagers. Within six months of time, I have grabbed most best selling models to home with me to see which one performs the best. And yes I am weird as a customer like that but the trial and testing activity really interests me. And the intermediate report of the research is: (It's a research because I read all reviews of each item that I purchased so as to draw more data for objective comparison deriving a more realistic study results.)There's nothing really worth entitled to be the BEST. There is only a real phenomenon that certain models of these neck back massagers are more suitable to certain groups of specific users, and each use case should be treated as individual because different reviews were produced by respective users. There are no hard and fast rules in the direction of making a compare and contrast of each performance in terms of massage quality, effectiveness, durability and built quality. (The 4 main judging criteria most often used in comparison tests.)The non-existence of a specific prototype of similar and identical use cases is particularly so because the reality is that every manufacturer is making their own branded massagers based on different mentalities, targets and marketing strategies.This Snailax neck back massager should be the sixth Snailax product in my personal purchase collection portfolio. Before this model SL 632, I purchased their 2025 latest version cordless SL 633, which is fantastic with performing standards comparable to those whole body massaging chair/bed pricing at $4000- $5000. No exaggeration here as I treat this Snailax as a miniature of a whole body massaging chair, just that Snailax minimizes various massaging mechanisms into one handheld neck hanging kit, but which can be applied on all appropriate parts of the body.This trait of performance is particularly spot on when the Snailax is in real operation, where I can hear some machine moving nuance of some professional sound, indicating the item is in sound and healthy working condition; also implicating that the original built quality should be of industrial top notch standard.As a matter of fact, with regard to all the Snailax products I have got, be it foot or pure neck massagers, or Snailax massage guns, all of them present a very standardized and concordantly high professional benchmark. Just like this SL 632, in my opinion, it is the best massager of the same type especially when dealing with proper and accurate Shiatsu massage Not only do I here refer to its endowment of all original Shiatsu traditional massage hand skills into modern motorized gadget, but I also refer to the high performing effectiveness among all other competitors.In fact, it is not hard to notice that the design of SL 632 has been mimicked by many similar brands and products alike, except those Snailax affiliated companies'.Not long before this SL 632, I purchased the mini version SL 632S, which performance also stunned me in way that I noticed Snailax won't compromise in massaging and built qualities even for siblings models which belongs to the entry level, with the 632S specializing in excellent neck massage performance and this bigger brother 632 classic more so and being outstanding and absolutely stable in all areas of performance.In the macro circumstance, this Snailax is by far the best electronic neck back massager to me because this is the only model I can operate it without leaning the massager to a solid wall or chair, but being able to just using the handstraps to control massage intensity and it still reaches top tier performance in way that I can enjoy real Shiatsu without any external kinetic force for assistance to make the central mechanism move . This commendable performance should also be attributed to the selection and adoption of top notch gears and components in constituting the whole massaging piece.No discrimination here but recently I do truly focus on buying relevant products from US local sellers as much as possible, who warrant my purchases, with better built quality, higher standard of QC, more presentable, beautiful, responsible and professional packing of all Snailax products, yet its manufacturing styles are still aligned with eco-friendly and environmental advocates. I myself find Snailax most product lines look very cool, often staying at the forefront in terms of technology, corporate packaging design, promotion, and a sound warrant system. All these enhance and boost consumer's confidence and maintain the brand's reputation, which factors are decisive in success and prominent in steering R&D directions.

I've seen these advertised before always thought they had to be an expensive gimmick couldn't really see how it could work well. Recently did something to my neck and out of desperation decided to try one. I picked this unit because of the large number of reviews and the fact that they actually list their warranty policies and offer an extended warranty for a decent price. I started out looking at battery units but they are pricey especially if you want one with heat functions, this unit is made cordless for about twenty dollars more which isn't bad but I still went with the corded one for the first purchase just because power isn't particularly an issue where I want to use this (outlets are accessible). Setup is nothing you get the unit, an AC adapter and a DC 12v adapter is also included. You plug the cable into the bottom of the unit left side then plug into the power source. The correct orientation is curved spot up with the controls on the left side. I like the design that you put your arms through the loops, and this allows you to control the intensity of the massage somewhat and move it around a small amount. MY ONLY SMALL COMPLAINT with the unit is that the HEAT button should illuminate when it's activated if they ever redesign their powered unit I'd suggest they make that change. Might also be nice to illuminate the intensity button when it's on high as well. I was very pleasantly surprised how well this thing works and it feels great. I was a little reluctant to lay back in my chair with it under my neck but that works good too no shutting off for too much weight on the fingers etc. I've used this twice since I took it out of the box the fifteen minute timer works fine if you want more press the power button again. It also has over heat protection according to the book. If it gets too hot just let it cool down and it will start to function again. I don't find the heat really hot just a nice warm temperature but I realize everyone might have a different idea of what's too warm. I love this thing. I did pay for the five dollar warranty which I think is worth it for something like this. More info to come. Thanks guys for a great product. I would suggest using the included soft fabric cover. The nylon fabric over the fingers tends to get a tad abrasive if you use it a long time, the soft cover reduces that somewhat. One other suggestion for making a great product better might be adding heat only with no or very low (vibrate) massage function.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had a very tight neck and back muscle, so I needed something to try and help relive the tightness. It does get into the muscles and have a heat option which is nice. It is easy to use with placing it on your back or neck and putting your hands into the straps. This way you can control how much pressure to apply. If your muscles are super tight or sore, go lightly. Your muscles will let you know if you can apply more pressure or not. It's about gently working out the tightness and knots and not about putting as much pressure as you can. You can keep the massager in one spot, or you can move it around your neck and different areas of your back very easily.It is easy to use, just attach the power cord to the massager and turn it on. You can adjust which direction the massage balls turn, and you can adjust the speed. You also have the option of putting on the heat which does help a lot. It is a gentle heat. The unit will shut off after about 15 minutes. It does take a bit of getting use to using a massager like this or any other type of massager to your muscles. You will feel some soreness or areas that it might be more sensitive to having the massager on it. Again, stick with it and just use light pressure. Those muscles can be very tight, and they will take some time to loosen up. This is also good if you worked outside and did too much, lifted something heavy, had a hard workout session or sat at the computer too long. This will be a great product to have to help give you some relief.
