For the price,this massage seat is hard to beat.I like the fact that it can be used at home in a chair,using the included adapter, or in the car,using the 12 volt plug. The heat feature is also a nice touch.

I've had this about a month now and it's very nice. I'm a school teacher and I'll be using it primarily at my desk at school. I like the combination of the massage with the heat and the magnets. I know for about twice the price you can get something with roller massage but this works fine and is well worth the price. The motors seem very strong and hopefully they will hold up well. Overall I am very pleased. Thanks to Wagan for delivering on their promises.

I've never submitted an Amazon review on any product before, but this one triggered a response. They raised the price of this heated cushion $5 right before I ordered it (grrr....), and I almost didn't buy. I am so glad I went ahead, however.

This thing is absolutely wonderful! Not only is it a heated cushion, but its massage features alone are worth the price. My office is a bit cool, and this cushion adds just the right amount of warmth. I save on heating costs, and get a massage to boot! BUY THIS CUSHION! You won't be disappointed.

(I have no affiliation with anybody associated with this cushion; I'm just a happy purchaser.)

Honest reviews on Wagan IN9988 Black 12V Ergo Comfort Rest Massage Magnetic Cushion

I was ill and lost about a third of my body weight in less than a year. By the time I got down to 105#, I no longer had any cushioning left on my butt. Not a problem, unless I wanted to sit down on anything less padded than an easy chair.

Driving became impossible, especially in our two Toyotas with minimal seat padding. I tried an inflatable "donut" and various pillows but they all had significant drawbacks, or just didn't work.

My wife finally found this item on Amazon in June (for 28). Now I can drive for hours without a problem which I recently did on a 1,500 mile family vacation. It's programmable enough to offer a variety of vibration combinations, offers a decent butt and/or back rub, and has a built in heater as a bonus.

The only odd thing I've noticed is that if you forget and leave it on, you're going to start getting irritated and wonder why the road is so rough. Once you figure things out and turn it off, it's a relief! (i.e., it stops being enjoyable after 20 minutes or so.)

If you're gonna whine that this isn't as fancy as an overpriced model from Brookstone, or as wonderful as a visit to a masseuse, then don't bother buying it. But if you're looking for an inexpensive solution to a hard chair or driver's seat, this is the ticket.

As other reviews stated, this seat cushion is noisy. But it isn't unbearably noisy. There is a LOT of vibration even on the lowest setting not so good if used indoors as it will vibrate the floor. The controller is extraordinarily cheap. My controller was "broken" upon arrival. The "Thighs" option was permanently stuck on even in the "Off" position. There is a sticker on the back that covers up one of the screws that says "Q.C. Passed". In my book, quality control means you actually test it to see if it actually passes, not slap on a sticker. Anyway, since I know enough about circuit boards to do basic repairs, I disconnected the power, found a Philips screwdriver and opened it up. The soldering job was poorly done such that the "Thighs" switch was shorted out by solder. I cleaned up the mess with my fingernail, closed it back up, powered it up, and it now works great. Just a tip in case anyone else encounters a similar problem.

I'm roughly 6 foot. This is clearly designed for a shorter person who is closer to 5 foot.

There seem to be about two "modes" for the motors depending on your body position. One is a constant vibration and the other is a pulsing sensation. This is probably by accident but a cool "feature" anyway.

The heat feature slows down the massage motors. But I bought this solely for the vibration capabilities.

I have yet to try this massager in my vehicle. Vehicles are notorious for supplying less power than rated, so I suspect "Low" may actually be a more mild massage. The AC power "Low" on massage only is kicking out serious vibrarararararararation.

Overall, I would have to rate the controller as "Shoddy 'Made In China' construction" but everything else seems to be reasonably built and the result is quite relaxing. Plus it complements my Homedics Shiatsu massager sometimes I need vibration, sometimes a deep kneading massage.
