KNQZE Shiatsu Neck and Shoulder Massager (Jet Black)

Description

This is the strap-over-your-shoulders kind of massager, not a cushion you lean back against. It sits on you like a yoke, and you hold the two arm loops and pull down to set how hard it presses. The pressure comes from you. Worth knowing before you buy: if you want a machine that does the pressing for you, this is not that.

The heat

KNQZE use a graphene heating element rather than a conventional pad, and state it is an upgrade on their previous design. The warmth is applied at the same point as the kneading, which is the sensible place for it.

What it is built around

The shape is made for the neck and shoulders. KNQZE also list it for back, legs and calves, and it will physically reach those, but read that as “it fits” rather than “it was designed for them”. At 1.18kg it is heavy enough that you will notice it after a while.

Cordless

It runs on a battery, so you are not tethered to a powerpoint while you use it. The cover is a lychee-textured PU leather.

What we cannot tell you

We have not had one in hand, and we have not been able to confirm a battery runtime or a charge time from KNQZE. If you want it to last several sessions between charges, that is the figure to chase before you buy.

Do not buy this if

You are buying it to treat a specific problem. We are describing what it does mechanically and nothing more, and none of this is medical advice. If you have an injury or ongoing pain, check whether the device is TGA-registered and talk to your GP first.
