The 8D was the right call
I went back and forth between the 6D and 8D and ordered the 8D in the end. Glad I did, it gets into the knots instead of rubbing over the top of them. My shoulders haven't felt this loose in months.

Week oneI went back and forth between the 6D and 8D and ordered the 8D in the end. Glad I did, it gets into the knots instead of rubbing over the top of them. My shoulders haven't felt this loose in months.
I drive Brisbane to Melbourne and back most weeks. Fifteen minutes with this at a rest stop and my neck stops screaming at me. The auto-off means I can shut my eyes without worrying about it.
Really effective kneading, almost too effective. Low is still quite firm for me. I've worked around it by not pulling the straps as tight.
I have arthritis in my neck and the heat is what sold me. It's up to temperature in about a minute and it's a gentle warmth, not a burning one. I use it every afternoon with a cuppa.
Concreting wrecks my shoulders and this sorts them out most nights. Took me a few goes to work out that pulling the straps harder makes it dig in more. Once that clicked it was a different unit.
I went with the 6D because my shoulders don't need a pounding at my age. It's firm enough to feel it working but never painful. Happy with the choice.
It kneads and it heats and that's about it. Helps a bit after yard work. I expected a little more from all the fuss.
Sits like a collar, you pull the straps down and it kneads away. Does exactly what the pictures show.
My neck is stiff most mornings and this loosens it before I get going. The controls are right there on the strap so I'm not fiddling behind my head.
Works well and the heat is good. The hum is louder than I expected though, enough that the missus turns the telly up. Not a deal breaker.
I've nodded off with it on three times now. It turns itself off after fifteen minutes so no harm done. Waking up with a warm loose neck is not a bad way to go.
Arms through the straps on the lounge while the news is on. It does its fifteen minutes and my neck forgets the day.
Bought it for myself but my wife does night shifts at the hospital and now it lives on her side of the lounge. She says it undoes twelve hours on her feet. Ordering a second one.
The massager itself seems fine now that it's finally here. But it took almost four weeks to turn up and my first email went unanswered. One star for the wait.
I'm a nurse and my neck is wrecked by the end of a run of shifts. Fifteen minutes with the heat on takes the edge right off.
I'm 72 and got the 6D after my son talked me out of the deeper one. It's the right amount of pressure for me and the warmth does half the work anyway.
The photos make it look light and it isn't. Fine on the lounge, but I wouldn't walk around the house wearing it. The massage itself is very good.
Nobody reads instructions, me included, so for the first week I wore it loose and wondered what the fuss was. Pull the straps down under your arms and lean back into it. Completely different result.
Keep it in the cab and run it off the inverter at rest breaks. My neck used to seize up around hour six. Not anymore.
Bought one for my mum who's 68 and one for me. She likes the heat, I like the deeper kneading on the 8D. Both happy.
The massage itself is decent but the hum gets to me in a quiet house. I can hear it over the wireless. It mostly stays in the drawer now.
Not saying it replaces my physio but between visits it stops the knots building back up. I run it at the desk in the arvo.
The kneading is good but honestly the warmth is why I reach for it. Up to temperature in about a minute and my stiff neck just lets go.
Kneading is proper and the heat comes up fast. I'd like the option of a longer run than fifteen minutes. Otherwise no issues after a month.
Work from home, neck like concrete by Friday. This with the heat on sorts it in one session.
We liked the first one so much we bought another to keep in the van. My husband uses it after a day of towing and I use it at night. The grey looks smart too.
I'm a big bloke with a lot of shoulder and the 8D actually gets through to the muscle. My wife tried it once and said she'd want the 6D. Horses for courses.
It's fine. The heat is the best feature. The kneading pattern gets a bit repetitive and I sometimes take it off before the timer ends.
Fifteen minutes on the lounge with this and I sleep better. It switches itself off so I don't even have to think about it.
Gadgets usually disappoint me. This one warms up fast and the kneading is slow and steady rather than buzzy. My neck moves more freely in the mornings now.
Really helps my shoulders. Docking a star because the buttons on the strap are easy to bump when you shift around on the lounge.
Sit on the lounge, hook your arms through and lean back. Once I worked that out I stopped having to hold it in place with my hands.
Sparky. Ladders and ceiling spaces all day, then this on the lounge in the evening. Straightforward and it works.
She has arthritis in her shoulders and rang me the same night to say the warmth was lovely. That's two households sold.
Solid kneading and quick heat. Four stars because the cord is a bit short for where my power point sits.
Heats fast and kneads properly. No complaints after three weeks.
My daughter has the 8D and it was too vigorous for me. The 6D is firm but kind, if that makes sense. At 74 that's exactly what I want.
Deadlifts leave my traps in knots and the 8D gets into them properly. Better than a spiky ball ever managed.
I gave it a proper go over a week but even the lowest setting was too hard on my thin shoulders. Return was sorted quickly with no fuss, so no complaints on that front.
The buttons sit on the strap in front of you, which matters when your fingers aren't what they were. I use it twice a day for the arthritis.
At first I wanted it to run longer, then I realised my neck was actually done at fifteen. Whoever set that timer knew what they were doing.
The warmth is wonderful on my neck. It took me over a week to get the straps sitting right, so be patient with it. My daughter set the pressure how I like it and now I don't touch it.
He's a plumber, I sit at a screen all day. Different necks, same fix. We should probably just buy a second one.
I had a handheld thing years ago that you had to hold against your neck the whole time, which defeats the purpose. This holds itself there while your arms just set the pressure. Big difference.
Dad's 70 and does everything slowly and carefully, and even he worked it out in one go. Mum has claimed the off-white one, so the grey is his.
It does loosen my neck up. The hum and the weight stop it being something I reach for every day though.
Forty years since I played and the shoulders still complain. The 8D with the heat does more than the wheat bag ever did.
Warms up in about a minute, which matters at ten at night when you just want relief before bed.
I'm a plasterer with solid shoulders and even I stay on the lower settings mostly. If you bruise easily, think about the 6D instead.
Fly in fly out, twelve hour days looking down at machinery. First week home I used this every single night. It has earned its spot in the bag.
Stiff neck most mornings for years. Ten minutes with this after breakfast and I can check my blind spot properly when I drive.
First two tries I thought it was average. Then I actually pulled the straps down firm like the picture shows and it grabbed the muscle properly. Should have looked at the box sooner.
I'm tall with a long neck and I never found a position where the nodes hit the right spot. Seems well made, just not shaped for me.
I finish shifts at 7am wound up like a spring. This on the lounge before bed helps me actually get to sleep. The auto-off matters because I'm usually gone before it finishes.
Didn't want some clinical white thing sitting on the lounge arm. The grey blends in and gets used daily, which is the point.
Nice warmth and easy buttons. I just wish it was a little lighter to lift out of the drawer.
Most things only do the neck. Pull the straps down and this works right along the shoulder tops where I actually carry the tension.
Use it most nights after work. Kneads hard when you want it to and the heat is real.
I was worried it would be too rough but the 6D on low with the heat is about perfect. My sister has worse arthritis than me and she has ordered one as well.
Kneads well and the heat is real heat, not just a warm plate. You can hear the motor in a quiet room. Fine with music on.
Linehaul driver. This lives behind the seat and comes out at every second stop. Neck and shoulders were cooked for years and now they're just tired, which I'll take.
I was paying for a massage every fortnight, mainly for my neck. Haven't been in two months. Not identical, but close enough at a fraction of the cost.
Straps on, lean back in the recliner. It stops on its own so I don't even open my eyes.
The warmth is genuinely nice on my arthritis. But it's heavier than it looked in the pictures and some days that alone keeps it in the cupboard.
Standing at a register all day does something awful to your shoulders. This undoes it. That's the whole review.
Buttons are big and right on the strap. Plug went straight into the wall, no adapter needed. It just works, which at my age is all I ask.
Picked the 6D to be safe and I reckon I'd handle the deeper one after all. Still good, just gentler than I need after gym days.
Everyone says it takes a few goes and they're right. Day three it suddenly made sense, the harder you pull down the deeper it works. Now I can't sit through the news without it.
Half an acre behind a mower and my neck used to complain for two days. Now it's fifteen minutes of this and done.
She's 66 and mostly wants the warmth. I want the deep kneading. It manages both.
Does everything it says. Lost a star because it took me a fortnight of fiddling to find the sweet spot with the straps. Once found, very good.
I swap it between my neck and the tops of my shoulders each session. The heat gets into the joints. Best thing I've bought myself in a while.
Arms up all day for twenty five years. This gets into the exact spot between my neck and shoulder that aches by closing time. It lives in the back room now.
If you're under fifty and reasonably solid, get the 8D. The deeper kneading is the whole point.
I'm on my feet twelve hours at the hospital and this settles my shoulders before bed. The weight takes getting used to but the kneading is genuinely good.
At 70 I mainly bought it for the heat and that part is lovely. The kneading on low was more than I expected but I've come around to it.
I do regional sales runs, five hundred k days. This at the motel each night keeps my neck from locking up by Thursday. Wish I'd bought it a year ago.
Kneads deep and heats quickly. Would prefer a twenty minute option but I understand why it stops at fifteen.
The arm straps keep it sitting where it should while it works. My old routine of jamming a tennis ball against the wall is officially retired.
Bought it for my father who's 81. He needed help the first few times but now uses it daily for the warmth. Four stars only because the manual print is tiny.
A neighbour showed me his and I ordered one that night. Simple to use and the warmth eases my neck right off.
