Nekteck Shiatsu Neck Massager vs Noxa Neck and Shoulder Massager

Buy the Noxa if you want a cordless, quiet massager you can wear around the house or take traveling. Buy the Nekteck if you want a corded shiatsu pillow you can press into your back and shoulders and don't mind being tethered to an outlet. The Noxa has more ratings and a clearer track record, plus a rechargeable battery and under-50dB operation. The Nekteck runs on wall power with no battery to fade, but owners report weak pressure on some units and durability problems.

• Choose the Nekteck if you want a plug-in shiatsu pillow for back and neck work at home and prefer a corded unit that never needs charging.
• Choose the Noxa if you want a cordless neck and shoulder massager with heat, quiet operation and straps that hold it in place.
