Whats wrong with the Homedics QRM-400?
Somebody at the Homedics central office gave the Marketing department a little too much leash with the 400. See those bright blue lights to the right? Ooh! It has blue lights?!? If you want them off you have to unplug the device completely. The lights are almost always covered by the faux leather mesh/light cover. This light-blocking cover’s added layer of cushioning is most appreciated though. Most people can’t enjoy the hard core shiatsu action without it. Regardless, the lights are a perfect example of the wrong department leading a project; increasing the cost with no benefit. But there’s more. The “demo” button is potentially one of the best features on this unit. It gives you a little taste of all it has to offer… and then it stops! The whole demo lasts only seconds. Lame. Also a concern – the rollers/shiatsu fingers are made of plastic. So are the arms to which they’re attached. Oh, and they move around a lot. Translation: There’s an annoying plastic-on-plastic clicking sound
