I bought this as a gift for my wife, and was literally appologizing a minute after we opened it (and quickly returning it to Amazon too). It looks WAY more promising than it really is - you can't even call it a massager - first it's gigantic, plain uncomfortable, doesn't not fit right around the neck, and buzzes the heck out of you when you turn it on - NOT relaxing at all. Umm did I say enough - I think so - save yourself a headache (literally), don't go for this one.

I took my chances despite the other reviews, and am so far enjoying it. It's not as bad as the other reviewers say, you just have to lean against it. You can't just put it on and sit up in a chair - it works best when you're leaning back on it, more like a neck rest. It's not disruptive, either - in fact, I am using it right now! It's not loud enough to drown out the TV. All in all, it's a HUGE improvement over trying to use other massagers not designed specifically for the neck.

I was very disappointed in this item. In order to feel the vibration and the little bit of heat, you have to grasp the ends and pull it tightly to your neck. The heat only works if you have the adapter plugged in, which severely impairs the "portability" of the unit. This was not mentioned on the package. I'm taking it back to the store.

The massage part is adequate enough, but it doesn't heat up at all. If you looking for heat, this is not the product. I am truly looking for a neck massager with heat. Will return this one.

Having other HoMedics massaging devices, I expected massage and not vibration from this unit. I also expected that it would conform to my neck, but it does not. It is stiff. As stated in another review, it works best if you lean into it. Better than nothing for a stiff neck, but not great at all.

You get what you pay for. I bought it at Walgreens. Thought it would help with a stiff neck. Complete waste

Well, it sounds quite good from the product discription, and that was why I bought it. But after trying it on several times, I find although it is called Neck and Shoulder Massager, it can not do much to the shoulder and the massage is only done by simple vibration , which comes with the low frequency noise and makes me dizzy after 5 mins. Whenever you turned on the heat option, the strength of the massage gets weaker and the dimension of this thing is too big for asian people and not convenient for travel.

I bought this item because i sit in the computer all day and wanted to get some relief. The vibrating noise is way too loud (close to your ears) and the intensity of the vibration almost non-existent. I would gladly return this product but it is hardly woth the trouble because of the mailing cost (bulky item).

A waste of money. I assumed because it wrapped around my neck, that it would massage around my neck. It only "vibrates" in one spot behind my neck. Also, because it is bulky and does not fit snuggly around my neck(sits on shoulders), I do not notice any heat. I tried to give this away but it was returned. We dropped off at a local donation site.

Sound like a cool idea, but it's ineffective; the heater is more effective than the vibration
