HUGE LIMITATION good for me

This massager works wonderfully, is well made, durable, pleasing to look at. I've used various Shiatsu massacres, and it's the best.HOWEVER! An entire page of the manual is given to this glaring limitation: it can only be used in your home, office, and car. See photo.This means that, if you were to take it on vacation, you could only use it in your car. If the car were a rental, and not yours, then you couldn't use it in the car. If you are a trucker or drive an SUV or minivan you would be unable to use it. If you were visiting your parents you could not use it in their home or even let your mom try it- she would have to return with you since it can only be used in a dwelling that belongs to you. A loophole would allow you to drive your car into their garage, in which case you could use it in their home, but note you would have to use an extension cord to avoid exhaust fume danger. The instructions are a bit vague on whether you could let your mother try it.Is a rented apartment really yours? If you own a baseball glove title is clear, but an apartment is just something you rent, like a luggage locker at the bus station. Perhaps Viktor Jurgen screens all the shipping addresses for home ownership; they must be a pretty busy person to sort all that out.It's a bit unclear on the office end of things. Does this mean the office where you work, or do you actually have to own the office? Renting an office isn't owning it. Or do they mean political office- it can only be used in the context of your being a senator, for example, in which case if you were defeated you would have to stop using it unless you were in your home or your car, not a truck, minivan or SUV.Does "at your home" mean being inside the house only, or can you use it on the patio? What if your home is a boat? Would it be safe to run this electrical appliance on deck where there might be spray? Using it on a cruise would be impossible unless you had an office on the ship, although if you were on a ferry and had your car, not a truck, minivan or SUV or camper then you could use it- note that you're not allowed to have your motor on while the ferry is underway so you could drain your battery despite being authorized to use it. Viktor Jurgen is unlikely to pay towing fees although you could argue their responsibility.Or, in the worst case scenario, are you only allowed to use it in a car, not a truck, minivan, camper, jeep, armored personal carrier or crane that you live in and conduct business? Note you must have title to vehicle; I need to examine the manual more to see if the manufacturer requires a copy, plus your deed and employment record before switching the unit on.While this is an absolutely outstanding massager I recommend buying another brand that allows you to use the massager wherever you like. I am sure that this massager must contain a microchip to detect where it is being used and is in constant contact with the manufacturer. "Viktor Jurgen" sounds like a pretty serious company, I do not think messing with them would be a good idea. Too bad, it's a great product in every other way.

Pros
  • If you want a real tough massager this is for you
Cons
  • Bulky design may take up a lot of space
