I bought this after trying out the larger version in the store. I thought this would be better b/c it's small and portable, which was true, but I think the other one gives a better overall massage. BUT, for the money, this one is pretty darn good and definitely worth a try. The massage mechanism is very strong and gives your back a good workout. I think it could be improved by offering a heat option, car adaptor and a "width" option as it was a little tough on my spine in some areas. Some massagers just vibrate, but if anything, you will need to put a towel on this one as the shiatsu it is VERY strong. Pretty impressive for the price--the next one up is AWESOME.

4.0 out of 5 stars This cushion works great for me, but there is some room to grow, January 24, 2006

I had back/shoulder pain recently and ordered this product two weeks ago. I really love it because it works great for me. After a couple runs of rolling/kneading (well, they call it shiatsu) with perfect pressure, my back feel relieved. The cons: it is too short to reach my upper shoulder. Suggest HoMedics redesign it, maybe a hood shape that allows massager to roll from upper shoulder to lower back.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE MONEY, August 10, 2006

This is absolutely fantastic! I sit at a computer 10 hours a day, and by the end of the day my back and neck ache so bad I can't move sometimes. This feels so good on the aching muscles, especially since it goes up and down and doesn't stay in one place, and by leaning harder against it you can get a deeper massage. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants the feel of a massage without investing a lot of money for a big chair massager or if you have limited space.
