Very Good Massager,
I am very happy that I ignored the bad review (mostly because it belonged to a different product and apparently they are not as identical as the reviewer imagined :)) I don’t see any problems with the materials, used the massager 3 times last night with very pleasant results.
The shiatsu thing does a pretty good job on my neck (so it can move again), the heat is strong enough and vibration puts me to sleep. What else do you expect from a $30 gadget? I am buying one for my uncle Leonid.
P.S. Try it upside down – you might like it. Literally, upside down (the massager, not yourself).
Update March 2012. My neck massager is officially retired (given to my younger daughter), because the iJoy-2310 Robotic Massage® Chair I bought 3 months ago put it out of business. Best $400 I spent since the plane ticket to America.

The Best Neck Massager I’ve Ever Used,
I purchased this product despite the only other review here (by M. Kaplan) and I am SO GLAD I did. I tried the demo unit in “Bed Bath and Beyond”, bought it (on sale for $14.99) and in three words…I love it! I have a pinched nerve in my neck and I can’t begin to tell you what a relief it was to find this product. I have several other HoMedic products and this lives up to the same quality I’ve come to expect from this company.
Unlike the other negative review, I have experienced no redness on my neck after using it for up to 30 minutes at a time. A Shiatsu massage should be tempered by the amount of pressure applied to the unit, and I suspect that if too much pressure is applied, this might be the problem with the other reviewer. But for me, it seems just right.
The amount of heat generated by the NMS-350 seems just right. If it were less, it wouldn’t be sufficient (for me) and it certainly doesn’t seem like too much heat. This is another reason I think the other reviewer had a defective unit and might consider trying a different one.
Overall, I’m very happy with this neck massager and would highly recommend it.

This massager is great!,
I get extremely tight knots in the back of my neck which make my neck painful to move. I’ve only had this thing for a couple of days and I feel better already. I often use it while watching TV or reading. BTW, anyone who complains about the fact that this massager is “too rough” doesn’t understand the principals behind Shiatsu massage. I used to live in Japan and went for Shiatsu all the time. It is supposed to be a tad bit uncomfortable. It is working the knots out! I’ve been pulling this massager into my neck as much as I can handle. I hope that it lasts for a long time.
