Good product
it doesn't get super hot, and works well. Only negative, you can't lean back in a chair (or recliner), it's bulky and you need to sit up.
A more gentle neck massage experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This neck massager is interesting in that it is chargeable by USB connection. This makes it great for situations where USB charging is readily available and the need for cordless operation is necessary. Overall, it works well as a neck massager and has two straps that let you angle the decide and apply more pressure in certain areas. The heat functionality is light - don’t expect a heating pad (remember this is a battery powered device) but the heat is noticeable and a nice addition.

Very awkward to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of this neck massager is not ideal and may work for some people, but did not work well for myself or anyone else in my household. I could not actually use this while keeping my head up and face forward, such as watching television. The massager did not even touch the back of my neck unless I looked down. This is not a relaxing position. Also, due to this position, I was not able to rest against the back of a chair or sofa so that I wouldn't have to hold onto the straps the entire time I was using it. The only positive about this massager was the heat setting. It did heat up fairly quickly and the heat does feel good, but that does not make up for the design flaws.

Hurts my neck
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Homedics® Shiatsu Rechargeable Neck Massager with Heat and it honestly hurts more than it helps. The plastic pointy massage thingys are very hard and press into your cervical spine and doesn’t have any give. The warmer part doesn’t heat up at all and it has two handles on it to maybe hold it tighter on your neck maybe… who wants to hold their arms up while getting a neck massage? Not me.

Not bad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am always tense in my neck and shoulders and thought this would be great, but it's not for me. It does hit the spots and vibrates well enough and it does have a heating feature, and does not get super warm. To me, you could just feel a slight change in temperature. At the end of the neck massager, there are 2 handles that you can pull, to make the pressure stronger against your neck. As well for me, I felt like I was going to rip the handles off, just pulling it a little bit. For me, I don't prefer it, but it might be perfect for others.

Great idea
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an effective device as long as you’re using it for what it intended for. I use it for the very top of my spice, right under the base of the skull. If you can wedge your neck in there you can work the device up and down your neck. I’m a petite female, and my neck can fit in here. I imagine that if your neck doesn’t, then you might not get as few of a tissue massage as I’m able to. I like that you can use a USB device and charge it up, so it makes it practical to sit on the couch while watching TV and use it. Also, you get better leverage because you can actually pull. Overall, for me, this is an effective device for massaging the knots out at the base of my spine. My doctor told me I could try physical therapy. This is one of my alternative treatments, along with stretching.

Maybe I expected Too Much
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really disappointed with this. I gave a score of 3 stars only because it wireless, using a micro USB charging system and that it came fully charged. What was disappointing was the 1 setting for the massaging and the 1 setting for the heating option. Wish it had another way for it to stay on your shoulders without having to pull down on the hand straps. If you're wanting to relax and your neck massage, it's sort of impossible if you have to maintain the massager balance by pulling down on the straps to keep it in position. Instead of straps that section would have been more comfortable if we're weighted down to lay flat onto the chest leaving your hands free to move about or relax and do nothing.
