- Does the Medisana NM 870 knead or just vibrate?
- It vibrates only. There are no rotating shiatsu heads and no heat, so it relaxes the neck rather than working out deep knots.
- Is it cordless?
- Yes. It runs on batteries, so there is no power cable and you can use it anywhere.
- Can I use it on my shoulders as well as my neck?
- Yes. It is shaped for both the neck and the shoulders, and the fleece cover rests against the skin.
- How does it compare with a shiatsu neck massager?
- Shiatsu models knead with rollers and often add heat, which gives firmer relief. The NM 870 is lighter and cordless but much gentler.
- Is the cover washable?
- The fleece cover is fixed to the unit, so it cannot be removed for machine washing. Wipe it clean instead.
- Who is it best for?
- People who want light, hands-free relaxation at a desk or while travelling, not shoppers seeking strong therapeutic massage.
- Where is the Medisana NM 870 cheapest?
- At Tiny Lux, for $43.25, as of our latest check.
