An okay massager, not strong enough for my needs
[[VIDEOID:ac0bfbe8e22d4968e421edd03535bc80]] The H2OMO back massager is a decent device for its price range. While it's not my favorite tool so far, it does provide some subtle relief and is helpful to have strapped to my desk chair (even when off), to help me maintain better posture.<br /><br />My chronic illnesses cause pain and discomfort, with my back and neck being pretty unbearable most days. I've been trying to find a variety of tools that may at least temporarily provide relief. I will admit, I prefer stronger massage pressure than the H2OMO provides. The heat function, however, is pleasant and doesn't seem to get too hot compared to similar products. It does hold a little heat after your 15 minute session and post unplugging the device.<br /><br />Inside the handled box, you receive the massager, a manual, car adaptor, and regular power plug.<br /><br />**I also want to note: a card from the company with an outlook email address was included, advising to contact them to activate a warranty card...and offering a gift card after reviewing. Please keep that in mind when reading reviews. I find it odd and kind of bribe-y, honestly.**<br /><br />The device isn't too loud, just a low thrumming sound. Its cover can zip off for washing, and features an elastic strap on the back for placement. Keep in mind, shiatsu "pillows" are firm and have some heft to them.The button placement is on the back, which is slightly easier to reach and adjust when in use. The power button also cycles through the subtle mode differences. Long press to power on the device and start at the lower intensity with heat, another press for higher intensity, another press to turn off heat, etc. The other button is to switch directions, but I prefer a device that does that on its own during use.<br /><br />Overall, this is an okay device, but I feel it's pricey at its current $51.99 (at the time of this review). I'm leery of companies that offer a reward after emailing a non business sounding contact email proof of your review.
