Does it have a battery?

No. It runs from a wall outlet or the included 12V car adapter, so it stays tethered while in use.

Can I change the massage intensity?

No. There is one massage mode with heat; the only control is the power button, so pressure comes from how hard you press against it.

On the neck, shoulders, back, legs and other large muscle areas. The fixed node spacing suits some body areas better than others.

Does the heat work separately from the massage?

The heat is part of the massage function rather than a separate setting, so it comes on with the massage.

How does it compare with cordless shiatsu pillows?

It offers heat and car use that many cordless rivals lack, but those rivals can be used anywhere without a cord and often add speed settings.

Our take on the FlexWorks Shiatsu Pillow Massager

The FlexWorks Shiatsu Pillow Massager is a corded cushion with eight rotating nodes and a heat function, meant for the neck, shoulders, back and legs. It runs from wall power at home or a 12V car adapter, and the single-button control keeps operation simple. Against rival shiatsu pillows it offers heat and car use, but it is a plug-in unit with no battery and no speed or intensity settings. Ratings sit around 3.7 out of 5, so buyers like the warmth and kneading but some find the pressure too firm and the nodes poorly placed.
