The one thing we'd check first

If we were buying the VIKTOR JURGEN Shiatsu Back Massager, we'd check the size and shape first: hold it against the body area you want to treat and the chair or seat you will use it on.

Before you buy

Fit

Check the cushion fits the chair you will use it on, and that the straps hold it in place.

Power

Plan where it will sit: it needs an outlet nearby.

Settings

Start at the gentlest setting and build up until it feels right.

Warranty

Check the warranty term and the return window before you buy.

Our take

The verdict

5.6Fair · out of 10

Our favourite thing about the VIKTOR JURGEN Shiatsu Back Massager is shiatsu kneading, closely followed by a heat function. No buyer reviews yet, so the VIKTOR JURGEN Shiatsu Back Massager has to win you over on paper. Honestly, the catch: no word on the node count or the intensity levels. We'd pick it if you like a kneading massage more than vibration; otherwise, put it next to the COMFIER Shiatsu Massage Seat Cushion first.

The score in detail

Spec-based rating on a 4.5–8.5 scale: 4.5 + average of the 4 criteria × 0.4. Capped at 8.5 because no customer evidence is included.
