I did a lot of reading and reviews before I chose the Snailax Full Body Massage Chair Pad. This was bought for my 86-year-old father that has chronic lower back pain & hip pain. He was very happy with my choice. It is heavy for someone his age to move around. He liked using in his large recliner so he can relax. I believe it is about 16lbs and it says to unplug from the wall outlet so this part he has struggled with until I moved the pad to another small swivel chair & because the pad has a tall firm back it still worked fine w/o needing the chair back taller.I read all instructions before using and it is pretty clear on instructions and for setup. It was well packaged- doubled box which really protected to and didn't have all the Styrofoam or extra stuff to dispose of. There is an auto setting that will run 15 mins for sample, but my dad likes that because it does it all. It says to use only 3x's at 15 mins a day to start & I understand so your back can get used to the massage part. I think for us being tall it is perfect to have the full auto start from the lower back and goes up to the neck & head area.So far just having it for 5 days it is doing a good job. I have used the air massager setting and it just seems to air up and expand and decrease for pressure it feels good but not the pressure I thought. The rollers are really good and not so intense that it hurts. I used 1st time and wondered if I would feel the workout in the middle of my back the next day, but I didn't. I am glad we are tall, or we may have had to add a cushion to raise a smaller person like it states to raise someone with a small body frame raised up to have their head and neck in the right position.It is nice to be able to fold the seat up and set aside if not in use. It was easy enough to lean against something to store in area you want to use all the time. The controller stores in a pocket on the right side of the back- quick to set back upMy dad loved how it helped his sore lower back, or if you just want to sit down for 15 minutes or less whenever you want and be relax to a wonderful massage. I feel you will not be disappointed.My review was based only on my fathers & my own personal experience.I may have to order myself one for our house since I got to try out my dad's. Overall very happy with what it performs.

This thing is AMAZING!! I had a previous Snailax massager and loved it but this one puts that to shame! There’s almost not a spot that it doesn’t touch. The side pads that are inflatable were way cooler than I anticipated and from low back all the way to your neck gets a great massage. It fits nicely in my recliner also and with the seat being attached but not fixed in a seated position, I can even recline and use it. It does have a little weight to it but I expect that with all the features. The remote rubs everything and all functions are independent of each other. Engineers put thought into this. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a well built and functional massager for any tight muscle. The butt vibration is an added bonus after glute day at the gym. This thing is great!!

I purchased the Snailax Full Body Massage Chair Pad -Shiatsu Neck Back Massager with Heat & Compression, Kneading Full Back Massage Seat Portable Chair Massager for Back and Neck, Shoulder because I'm hoping it lasts. I've purchased so many types of back massagers over the last 10 years and usually end up wanting. They are too small or don't hit the right spots. This massager has almost everything you could want and I'm extremely happy with it.I've been using it for a few days, and I use it at various times throughout the day. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a degenerative spine disorder, and it has affected my muscles throughout my entire back. I'm in pain most days with muscle spasms and knots so I need breaks to try to work them out. This chair massager has been very effective in relaxing my muscles and giving me the deep pressure that I need. Many others I've tried do not allow the pressure this baby does. Especially when you use the air seat and air back, it hugs you right in place, so you don't move away from the rollers.Speaking of the rollers, this is one of the things that makes it "almost perfect". They are great, don't get me wrong, however, they could go side to side just a few inches. The structure of the chair keeps you in place, centered on the seat, and the rollers move up and down while rotating but they only reach that center strip on either side of your spine. If you're like me and have multiple muscle issues, you know what I mean. I'm 5'5" &150lbs so I sit pretty well in the seat though I've found that the rollers, when using the full back mode, stop just below my shoulder blades :( I need deep tissue massage around my shoulder blades and can only get that by sliding down and sitting off-center on each side to reach them. This is because with the "neck and shoulder" section, at its lowest spot, it only puts pressure on the top of my shoulders and the base of my neck. I can feel there is another set of shorter nodes next to the protruding neck nodes that rotate with them, unfortunately, they do not reach my shoulders regardless of the positions I've tried. You can see in the photos I've tried to show the lower nodes and in the one with just my finger on top of the shorter node, you can see there is about a 3" difference in height.Photos also show there are 3 pressure levels depending on fabric removal. Full coverage of the full over flap, remove that flap and get 2nd level of pressure, remove the neck fabric (zipped) and a 3rd level of pressure.I'm thrilled with this product overall! It appears to be well made, you get extra warranty coverage with Snailax and my back is very, very, happy!

I was wondering how this would perform compared to a full size massage chair, and it was absolutely worth it. Delivers about the same quality massage to the back, shoulders, and neck, at a fraction of the price compared to a chair, while being much more convenient to move and store. Best used on a seat that can recline so that gravity pulls you into the massage. The adjustable neck height was crucial for hitting just the right spot. Pair with a foot massager for the full experience.

The model SL-236 is a fantastic upgrade from an older model (SL-233 purchased 6 years ago). We really enjoy the many new massage features, especially the "Auto" setting which moves through all the features at a relaxing pace. Multiple Shiatsu massage areas are active simultaneously, with wonderful air compression adding to the calming effect. The combined back, neck, and seat massaging all at once is truly blissful.
