I was at the Toronto Home Show and tried out probably 8 different massage chairs. Not only was this the most economical, it was also the perfect amount of pressure and in all the right places. Some of the others were either too wimpy or too pokey -- in the words of Goldilocks, this one was juuuuust riiiiiight! I liked that it could be plugged into the car (though I'm not sure driving with this on is a great idea!) and was portable. I've been very very happy with it, and it's likely paid for itself in just a few months because I'm going to the massage therapist less frequently.
