Homedics SBM-500H Therapist Select Shiatsu One Massaging Cushion with Heat REVIEWs

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB!!
This is the third massage item I bought with the Homedics brand. Impressive! As a very serious exercise enthusiast this machine has the unusual power to calm and restore even the most fatigued muscles. Now two months with the product, I found my recovery time has dramatically improved as well.

The massager works the back and shoulders and their various pressure points with a “deep tissue” style. This is serious massage- and excellent at that!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay product but quality isn’t really there
I purchased this model after returning the quad. I returned the quad because I wanted the shoulder massage function.

This model provides a decent massage, but there are some issues with mine that are worth noting.
1. After about 10 minutes of use the rollers start to squeal and don’t seem to be working as hard as they were previously.
2. I am not tall, 5′2″, and the shoulder rollers barely reach my shoulders.
3. The seat cushion does not stay in place, it slides forward & feels cheap.
4. The back rollers don’t go as far up my back as the quad rollers did.

I will probably return the product because of the squealing. I am hoping this is just a problem with my model and not a product defect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a massage for me
I have evaluated a couple of Homedics Massaging cusions and feel this one is the best. Being tall, the shoulder massage section gets right into my shoulder blades and above. The friction alone gives off heat and is very soothing. Earlier massagers tended to be a littl harsh since they did not give much if you had a smaller cushion or hard back chair you were sitting in. This massager has balls that flex a little when pressure is added, so, there is much less of a tendency to feel a little like you may get some bruising.

Homedics really did its homework with this little gem. A great gift for those you know who need more than an occassional massage or just a great gift to give yourself. I recommend this to my friends. Great job Homedics.
