Welcome back to The Cruise Review and today I'm taking a look at this back massager that Snailax
0:04
sent me. So let's get started. So for starters, this is a pretty big box so I'm excited to take
0:09
a look at this. And right here, the first thing I see is going to be this box which is going to have
0:15
the power supply and then inside we also have some other things including the massage chair itself
0:20
and some paperwork like a thank you card and the instructions. So for starters, this chair
0:26
this seat has some pretty good weight to it. The frame of it, the backside is going to be pretty
0:31
solid. Here you can see there's going to be like this hard material on the backside. This might be
0:36
plastic, which is what gives it its rigidity. But hopefully this doesn't mess with the comfort
0:42
level of the backside. Yeah, there's some cushion up here. And along the head, there's this padding
0:49
that does look pretty breathable because there's holes in here. And there's also going to be some
0:53
rollers, some shiatsu of that sorts. And then this other cover, which is going to give extra
0:59
protection from the massagers itself. And then there in the center, there's some extra things
1:04
including more information about the extended warranty. And then all the way down is going to
1:09
be the seat. Now there's nothing going down in the seat. This is just going to be a seat cushion
1:13
which appears to be about an inch thick. And there's going to be this anti-slip material with
1:18
a bunch of little rubberized dots around it, just to prevent this from sliding in place
1:22
wherever you decide to put it and then on the side there's going to be this thing there is also a
1:28
velcro in here and i'm guessing this is going to be for the remote control so it just doesn't hang
1:33
randomly anywhere this can be placed right here and this remote control is going to be fairly thin
1:39
pretty big as well too there's a bunch of different buttons so here we have a timer heat
1:45
neck, shiatsu, rolling, spot, full back, upper back, lower back, vibration, heat, and the power button
1:52
So there's a lot of stuff to test out with this. So I'm pretty excited to get started. All right, so I'm gonna put this right here on my chair
1:59
and power this up. It does have this port so I plugged everything in
2:04
and now I can put it right there and it should be ready to go Now I do want to move this a little bit more upright Yeah so because of the way this chair is
2:15
because it's like an ergonomic chair, it does have a contour. This might not be best for this chair
2:19
So let me grab another flat back chair. And so this way I can actually put this Velcro
2:24
So it's a little bit more secure. And so I'm going to use it on this chair
2:28
It's got a flat back. This is going to be our dining room chair. So hopefully this will work a lot better
2:35
And now I can move this out. This just goes right on top
2:42
And yeah, this is going to be a good size. It's a little bit too small for this, so this isn't exactly going to go over it how it should
2:49
But the strap at the bottom can fit over it. So that's good
2:52
So it'll keep it like a little bit more secure. And there
2:57
Now, as far as comfort goes, it's okay. I've had more comfortable cushions
3:01
But again, this isn't really meant for the cushion. This is meant for the massage. So let's see if the massage impresses me
3:08
And yeah, there's no lights on this yet. But if I press the button, okay, it turns on
3:14
And here you can see the settings. Stuff turns blue. And right now, it automatically gives me full back, shiatsu, and the timer is automatically
3:23
set to 15 minutes. And if I press the power button again, press it on
3:28
Yeah, these are going to be the standard settings. if I switch things up yeah even if I turn it off and then switch different settings and turn it
3:37
back on it doesn't save the same features so I'm going to keep it like this for now right now
3:42
there's nothing going on in my neck it feels pretty nice in my mid back so far now it's going
3:47
a little bit lower and I do want heat so I got the heat turned on okay now it's working all the
3:55
way on my lower back. It's got like a good force to it too. It's kind of pushing me away from this
4:01
seat. So I have to kind of push myself back. And I also do want my neck. So there I turned on neck
4:11
Now I guess depending on how tall you are this might not go on your neck exactly This might go on your shoulders So right now it more on my shoulders rather than on my neck But either way it still doing a good job on it It like somebody just massaging me from the back
4:28
for my shoulders. Now let me turn on the heat setting for all the way at the bottom
4:33
And from the previous heat setting that I turned on, I feel like my mid-back
4:36
is a little bit warmer now. And now time for vibration. Now this is going to have two
4:43
oh that's cool it feels like my my bottom is vibrating that might be because this
4:50
seat is overhanging so i feel like more more vibration and there's two settings for vibration
4:57
so let me go for the second setting and yeah it's going to be a little bit more intense
5:01
kind of ticklish let me go back to to the first level of vibration
5:06
and yeah if i lean back into this more i'll feel the shiatsu rollers going more on the side of my
5:18
neck i think this would be like a good position to get the most out of it and kind of make sure
5:25
my back is still against it so i also get the massage there and now let me try spot let's see
5:32
what that does. Okay, so when I press spot, the blue from this disappeared and now there's only
5:39
blue up top. Let me press spot again and now everything is going on. All right, so after a
5:48
few minutes, things got a lot warmer. It's not uncomfortable warmness, but I can feel it's like
5:53
a cozy type of warm. My back feels nice. So does my neck too, especially now that I'm leaning more
5:59
back into it. Like it's getting more of my neck. I can also feel the heat more. And it feels pretty
6:06
comforting, comforting overall. Now the massage heads, I like it like a hard massage. Now this
6:14
doesn't feel like a, you know, like an intense massage. It may be intense for some for me because
6:18
I like it hard. This would be like a good medium. But if it's too hard for you, then I definitely
6:23
recommend putting something on it I like putting the cover on it which I actually do have the cover on or maybe even putting a towel over this just so the heads don go too hard on you
6:42
Oh, okay. 15 minutes are up. Oh, I'm hungry now. But yeah, overall, it felt pretty nice
6:53
It's got a nice soothing warmth on my back and on my neck
6:58
Again, the biggest thing for me is it couldn't reach my neck. Pretty sure it's because of height
7:02
So the easiest thing to do would just be to lean back and then I can get my neck
7:07
And it even gets my sides as well too. And my shoulders, which feels pretty nice
7:12
Now, I wish I was in a different chair so I was able to recline. But I had to sit up straight, even though I slouched a little bit like this
7:18
In the end, this was like the most comfortable position. and yeah it still feels like warm over here and it turns out yeah the heat setting at the top
7:27
that's going to be for the back and the heat setting sorry the heat setting at the top is
7:31
going to be for the neck and the heat setting at the bottom is going to be for the back so I made
7:35
sure both those were on and yeah having full back shiatsu and neck all going on at the same time
7:42
felt really nice but yeah that's a quick look at the snailax massager so I know I was talking about
7:48
wanting it to be more reclined so I ended up putting it on my other chair that I thought would
7:53
be an issue but turns out this is no issue whatsoever I should have done this in the first
7:57
place because this is so much more comfortable than the other chair on top of that because I am
8:02
leaning back it actually is able to hit me or massage me much better much more comfortably
8:08
and one more thing you can also put this massager on a couch and it's going to be just as comfortable
8:13
you can still get your massage and if you have a reclining chair then I mean you could still
8:17
recline it you can even lean back and leaning back might actually be a little bit helpful because
8:22
you're laying more on here so if you want an even harder and even more intense massage this is what's
8:28
going to make it more intense your body weight's going to be more on it but this may not be suitable
8:33
for everybody especially if you're more sensitive to these but yeah that's a quick look at the snailax massager
