I had recently been thinking about buying a massager-type product and this happened to be an option I could choose as my work anniversary gift-- best choice ever! Having to sit still and stare at computer screens all day for my job, I find my upper back, shoulders, and neck get extremely tight and achey. My partner has the opposite problem where his body gets tired and sore from having to walk around all day for his job. This lil massager has been such a relief (literally) for us both. We mainly use it on our necks and backs (upper and lower) but my partner has also used it on the backs of his legs. The internal massaging components rotate both ways and you can either wait for it to cycle through and change or you can do a short press on the power button to manually switch them. There is also a button to turn off the warming sensation but we both prefer to keep it on. It doesn't get too hot, but you will notice a lovely, gradual warmth that really helps to sooth your muscles as the massager is working. While we don't legitimately fight over it, we are always passing it between ourselves and will be "disappointed" with the other if one of us forgets to re-charge it after using it! We love this little machine!

so good!
I bought it a few weeks ago and have been using it almost daily ever since. The heating function is incredible. I have a tight back, neck, and shoulders, it helps a lot. I didn't think such a device would ease my pain, but it does!

Good pain and tension relief
The package that I have received:1PC Massage Pillow1PC Charger1PC Car Charger1PC Carrying tote bag1PC Manual & InstructionsI choose this model because it is cordless in use and rechargeable, making it much easier to use wherever I want as there's no trailing lead attached to a socket, as well as for its capacity as a massager. It replaced an old, less sophisticated, but good quality shiatsu massager. The massager comes in a strong cardboard carry case with a handle which I'll keep and use when I travel. The massage modes can't be altered, except to reverse them, which also happens automatically. The controls are easy to reach during use. That there is no trailing lead makes it much easier to reposition. After two days of use, I woke up today with little pain in my back and shoulders, for the first time in months, so it seems effective. The massage can be a bit strong on painful areas but that is easy to alleviate by sitting forward slightly or wearing a thicker top, though perhaps the cover could be made thicker. It is fine on the hips, just a little strong on painful tight shoulders at first. It also rolls over the bony areas of the edge of the shoulder blades, which feels a little strange but seems to help with stress reduction. The design is sleek and simple and it looks like a cushion. Best of all the design features, it is rechargeable so I can charge it then leave it ready for use when I need it and it doesn't look like a quasi-medical device in my living room. It's quite deep but small overall. The flap that covers the massage nodes could do with press studs to hold it in place. The cover is zipped and removable for washing. The elastic that holds it in place on a chair is pretty strong, the machine doesn't slip down when attached to the chair. I activated the two-year guarantee and got a reply saying it was active and I could contact customer support direct if I had problems. Overall quite impressed by the attention to detail and design of this device.

Great massager
Got for my mother for Christmas, and says she loves it and it gives her relief for her back pain.When I used it it massages quite hard. So if you can handle a hard massage this is for you. Quite firm but I love the heat it comes with it.

Works great on lower back, kind of hard
This is great for some temporary lower back relief. It's easy to just lightly lean against it while it's working. I love that it's rechargeable so I don't have to mess with the cords while using it. It is a basic shiatsu type massage with large balls that move around and provide pressure. They show using it on your neck but I didn't have much luck with that -- you have to lean on it to keep it in place and it's not very comfortable to do that. But I do enjoy using it on my lower back. It has a heat function but it doesn't really get that warm. It does have a strap on the back so you can easily wrap it around a chair and keep it in place when using it on your back. Other accessories include a carrying bag and a charger to use in your car. Overall, it could be a bit softer but it's a nice device and feels well made.

I take back my comments.
Anything I've ever said about home massage machines, I take back. This little guy is wonderful. When I saw the size, I was like "here we go again". When I plugged it in and tried it... OMG. I was beyond surprised at how deep the massage gets, but without the usual hard grinding pain. The heat is just right too. Nice and warm while it's loosening you up. I mean, just wonderful. I can sit on my couch or lay in bed and let this baby go to work. Definitely give this a try it you're in the market for a great home Shiatsu massager.

Rechargeable, small and portable shiatsu massage pillow
This Miko Wireless Shiatsu Massager is the first rechargeable pillow massager that I ordered. It is small and portable, and the blue gray color is very pretty. However, it only has two buttons, one long press to turn on and off, and alternate a few she has two patterns, and the other for heat. The strength of the massage and heat is decent but its max is still not hard enough and not quite meeting my pain tolerance and preference. Nevertheless, being rechargeable and portable is a plus, since I can pretty much use it anywhere including at the park or the beach.

Terrific Product
I recently purchased this product and I am very happy that I did! It is small enough to travel and great for use at home or in the office. I tend to use it at work and it is quiet and effective. A great little massager!
