The MINI-MAX LUMBAR MASSAGER will be used to ease a sore back while watching TV,when sitting at a desk. Also while driving.

The thing that is great about it is it comes with adapter to plug into electrical outlet & comes with a car power cord.The cords are also long enough to reach about anywhere. It is lighweight enough to carry & has handle cutouts that make it easy to carry.

Relieve Muscle Tension Quickly
By TeacherVerified Reviewer from Fort Smith, AR on 5/16/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight, Quiet, Steady
Cons:
Not pliable enough to fit
Best Uses:
Home

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This massager is great at home; however, I bought it to use in the car to massage my lower back. I have a Prius, and the back of the seat does not conform to the massager well enough to make the massager of much real use, or the reverse. It is, however, great if one wanted to use it at home and did not travel all the time. I have one of your hand held lumbar massagers for home.

I bought this for my husband. His job requires him to walk most of the day and to lift heavy items. This was perfect for him! He also had a loooong ride to and from work every day. He never complains of back pain anymore. So convenient and easy to use, even in the car!

Portable and comfortable relief fast
By TaraVerified Reviewer from Westfield, NJ on 1/11/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Ergonomic, Lightweight
Cons:
Turns offs too soon
Best Uses:
Perfect for use in a car
Describe Yourself:
Practical, Stylish
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My husband is enjoying the massager while commuting to and from work in his car. An added benefit to this easily portable and comfortable massager would be that it does not turn itself off after 30 minutes of use. My husband has a 75 minute commute to work each way, so he was hoping to be able to use it for a longer period of time without its automatic shut-off feature.

They Got it Right
By Carla, RNVerified Purchaser from San Diego, CA on 11/26/2007
Pros:
3 wonderful zones, Comfortable, Ergonomic, Lightweight, Steady
Cons:
Too loud for bed
Best Uses:
Car, Computer desk chair
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product is God-sent Heaven on Earth for my lumbar, sacral and coccyx injured back. It delivers 3 comforting zones (of your choice) of just the right stimulation to sides, middle, and low sacral areas with 3 levels of intensity. The attached "remote control" is user-friendly and well made. I use it for my computer desk (includes an AC adapter) and am ordering another to always have in my car. I connected it to my car (with the included handy car adapter) on the way home when I purchased it, and didn't want to get out of the car because it felt so good. I was delightfully impressed because it immediately reduced the level of pain. It is well engineered and solidly made and is a good value, especially with the included car and AC adapters. The only drawback is that is too noisy to use in bed (my husband complained so I had to turn it off). However, I would strongly recommend it to my patients and anyone with low back pain. I am enjoying it as I write this review!
