So you know I would have rated it 3.5 if I could, I just rounded up-
Ok I will be completely honest, I actually almost cancelled my order because I thought it was going to be a complete waste of money, but it was too late to cancel and I was stuck with it, which wasnt that bad of a thing. It works pretty well for $20, I look at it this way, if you are going to spend that on on just a regular heating pad then why not get one that has a massage with it. I think it was worth the $20 but is it a miracle piece of equipment like some others described it, no. All it really is- is a heating pad with very strong vibrations, to put it plain and simple. I will use it in my home if I am very sore but for now its going in my car, which I think its perfect for. But to say I am going to have it in my house, in my favorite chair and I am going to use it everyday would be unrealistic, it is not THAT good. For me its going in my car and will be when driving. I hope this helps.

I read all the reviews before purchasing this product. I was quite surprised about the outcome and felt obligate to write this review to give fellow shoppers a balanced point of view. Maybe the fellows giving the rave reviews have different needs for the device. I bought mine for the relief of long trips (typically 6-hour drive or more). Therefore, the "cigarette lighter" adapter was a strong plus. You may have similar needs if this is intended for a "long sitting down" in the house or a dorm. However, in this case, you have choices of better products (without the car adapter and a little more expensive). Regardless of how cheap this thing is, it will be you thrown-away money, anyway!
Here are reasons why this is not a good product:
1. The "massaging" components likely will not fit most people, especially if you have a large frame. Those components don't look like they can be easily rearranged. I have a small frame (cloth size S), and they are already out of places. For a larger and taller person, the arrangement will be even worse.
2. The massaging elements are just vibrating (NOT knitting). While this may be "just a minus" to many of us, they can be "deal breakers" in this case. They are so noisy (especially when they are on MAX) that I find it is hard to sit around with this kind of distraction, even though I am very easy to be pleased! If you've ever tried to work, study, read, ... while someone is vacuuming around you, this is a similar experience.
3. The padding of this device is poor. This causes problem with the "thigh" massaging components. I can uncomfortably feel the two lumps under my thighs. It likes someone putting something on my car seat! If you turn those vibrating components on, there is some relief (but not much), and this leads to the next major problem.
4. The manufacturer instruction warns that the unit should not be used for more than 20 minutes. Since it doesn't explain why, it's important to stick with this recommendation. Therefore, for a long drive (or a long sitting down session), you have to constantly remember turning them on and off. And while they are off, you are sitting on something quite uncomfortable! It is also strongly recommended that one should pull to the side of the road each time to adjust or operate the device. There are 5 controls total so I feel that it is equally important to follow this recommendation.

I didn't have a good feeling when I tried this out at home, but I decided to try it on a trip anyway. That was a mistake! I could not wait to pull into a rest-stop to remove the device.

If you are thinking about trying this out since you can always return it, then you should consider the shipping charge. This product is sold by "target.com". The regular Targets in my area do not have it. The charge is $7.5 for shipping handling. That is 1/3 of the product price. I've never returned anything bought from Amazon but I will on this one. There is another $7.5 charge on the shipping for the return. I am not sure how they calculate the refund but I will be out between $7.5 or $15 because I was mislead to buy a poor quality product.

For $20 I really expected a complete piece of junk. The three separate motorized sections are pretty strong. I have no idea how they make this product and still make a profit off of $20, but I am impressed!

4 stars for being such a great working product and a 5th star for the amazing price!

I read the reviews and was skeptical about the quality of anything that MSRP'd under $20. This was a side gift for my grandfather and I can honestly say he liked the side gift more then the main one!

I get calls on a regular basis about how much he loves this massager. He uses it everyday before bed. This is a must buy for anyone who relaxes in a chair. Hell, I would say this is a must buy for anyone who sits in a chair!

BUY IT! ENJOY IT! AND SEND ME A THANK YOU NOTE WHEN YOUR DONE!!

Ok. Vibration is a little - strange. However - the warmer on the seat is WONDERFUL!!! Makes my lower back feel much better and is easier than trying to use a heating pad.
I would buy this product again!

Some seats are for home but this one we use for the car. It's straps allow you to hook it right to the car seat.
this one won't have heat pads in it but the massage seat has more comfort in the padding and the vibrations are controllable.
It won't add rollers or pressure motions for you but it will relax you.

Its not good product.Poorly designed.I waned my money back,but what the hack -let them have it for $20

For the price, this cushion is comfortable and works great! The heat is great on cold days.

I purchased this heat and massage car seat as a replacement for the one my son had given me for Christmas several years ago. It work well and delivers the vibration and the heat at various levels of intensity, plugging easily into the cigarette lighter. I have a little quarrel with the seat-attaching elastic straps under the seat at the knee: they simply do not work very well. If the seat moves when getting out or into the car, the vibrating element when not turned on can give a bit of discomfort to the under-thighs. The back straps are fine and keep the pad from moving. In general, the price is right for what this product promises and delivers.

This massage chair cushion absolutely melts away the stress as soon as you turn it on. An excellent purchase!!
