HoMedics Shiatsu massage seat with integrated. Shoulder massage SBM-600H-EU, 3D massage (Personal Care)

Customer Review

I originally to test the SBM-500H with MM and was so excited that I bought this ultimately successor model (SBM-600H). The main difference appears in the new model the "3D" Massage to be = massage balls, vibration and heat together switchable. The massage balls massage pretty intense what I evaluate positively. If that is too strong, the recommended is to put a blanket between the back and seat. The remote control (= cable) is also structured differently, very clear and easy to understand. The key buttons are illuminated with LEDs, so that one perceives the selected features / settings at a glance. Like everything much better than its predecessor.

Anticipating some Abbreviated statements which seem to me worth mentioning with regard to "security" of the manufacturer: The device may be used only if it is attached to a chair. The user must sit upright. It must not be placed on soft surfaces, such as. Bed, couch. This product should not be used by diabetics. People with pacemakers and pregnant women should consult a physician before using. Too long use may cause excessive heating of the product and shorten the life (Note .: After about 15 minutes the instrument switches off only once and the balls go in park position ...)

I have attached the seat permanently on an office chair and let me your computing experience at occasional massage. If the seat is not in operation, however, you can feel the bullets in the lumbar spine area (= parking position). Certainly not everyone will be able to live with it or want. I usually cover at rest the thin padded seat upwards so that it lies in front of the balls which are then barely noticeable (is certainly dependent on the ergonomics of the chair, if that also brings to you advantages or disadvantages ...). Anyway, it would be too much effort to dig the part if necessary out and every time reasonably to be fixed to a seat (= tensile loops that are pulled behind the chair ...).

You need, as mentioned, a stable seat, where the SBM-600 draufgelegt / can be attached.
If you want to choose a suitable home seating in advance, here are the dimensions of the article:
The back section is about 73 cm high, at the widest point and about 40cm in the head about 30cm wide. The back area is about 8cm thick, while the head portion is about 13cm thick (reminiscent of car headrests ...).
The seat itself is about 41 cm wide x 37-42 cm deep (= can be moved by material connection to the main part of something that is padded thinly and Me has essentially only optical advantages ...)

Shoulder Massage I switch to not always because the engine noise near the ear regarding tinnitus problems (= day form ...) very unpleasant for me. Even otherwise, probably not everyone will "chill" in the engine noise but can with music, TV etc. (Possibly headphones) can be drown out the good sound massage. Quite silently can all probably not construct after all the high-torque engines must also make some ...
Otherwise, the shoulder massage, which can be separately controlled with the FB as required up / down, quite the thing going. Whether you feel "pats or even pain", is also dependent on how strongly you pressed themselves against the bullets next to the body stature and bracing.

The manufacturer's specified settings 29 must be seen as follows: It has essentially 2 types of massage to choose from: "Shiatsu" and "rolling". Former variant (orbital / up and down) I find enjoyable, the latter going on both sides of the spine only "just" up and down.
Moreover gibt`s thoughtful possibilities of customization: You can further away from the spine or get closer set the massage balls by remote control. It is also possible that massage on certain back-sections to limit (= default on the FB) or obtain a point massage using the remote control. I am of the opinion that due to the controls to customize the massage the body stature and the desired needs quite well (I'm about 178cm tall). Just a pity that these settings can not be saved. In this respect it is necessary to position the next time you use anything again. Bottom line so to speak of 29 settings, what kind of massage does not change.

It can be also "Vibration" switch (separately for shoulder / back), as well as heat (separately shoulder / back). "Vibration" reminds me a bit of simple massage seats, as I knew it so far.
The heat could be done more quickly. Only if you have a second massage passage (= actually against the manual!) Treat yourself, you can feel the heat as intense as I would like to see on the first pass. The best a gradual shift of the heat intensity would of course in order to meet all requirements.

I suffer not infrequently under tension and disc problems. After a few weeks almost daily use, I believe that the massage seat but here rather positive effect not a professional massage is equal. Apart from the part in the long run "dirt cheap" when counting the cost of a physiotherapist to.
Who has the money to spare can access here. Even among friends is the "electric massage" perceived as pleasant.
After me so this massage seat has convinced me I still indulged in a foot massage from the same manufacturer and rate this in another review ...

Supplement 02/11
As for "not suitable for diabetics" (= safety purpose of the manufacturer ...):
I was surprised when I ("reputable diabetologist") saw precisely this seat in the waiting room in a doctor's office. While you could go here due to time constraints not extensive to my question (s), has been given me that the massage seat is not actually a problem. However, you should (not just as a diabetic) always with injuries (wounds or similar) be careful (if necessary consult a doctor), what is intellectually understandable.
But more critical is an electrical "foot massage" rated. Because of disturbed metabolism in diabetes often provides circulatory problems and nervous disorders at the feet, the sensation of heat and pain is often reduced and injuries may not be felt in time. For this reason ("on your feet") Extra care should be here in diabetics.
