Hi how much Watt out put does the Homedics Shiatsu Back Massage have? How much power or volts does it use? Would it require a separate safety outlet?

I don't know the watt output, but I have it plugged into a surge protector. Here in Florida, we get a lot of power surges, so everything we use is plugged into surge protectors. I absolutely love my back massage unit (in fact will be using it in a few minutes).

It plugs in. No Batteries. This unit works well for me. I have nerve damage in my neck. I put a pillow behind my back, Put this unit around my neck, In this way I can move my head back or forward to control the depth of the massage

I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords. Although they said not to use extension cords, the mats come with extremely short little cords and you really don't have a choice. I plugged one into the top outlet with the temperature sensor and the other plugged into the bottom of the outlet. It is a regular house current and the breaker is either 15 or 20 amps and never tripped. If you have a unique situation you may need to consult an electrician. The rugs worked great for us, but wished they were a little bigger with longer cords in relationship to the cost.

Standard household current. Plug the transformer into any outlet available. This is a good product. It comes with 100' of cord and you can order an extra 100' if you feel its necessary. The picture is more stable than wireless products. I use it 24/7 for security. It has a built in microphone.

Get the quick charge $80 booster from Lowes The Earthquake 800W is no good for this I tried and it will just keep popping the little breaker Use on AC and keep it 7 amps and under I bought it for a camp fridge,a 100w bulb and to charge my cordless drill up north it's a beauty

Sorry, I couldn't see anywhere that it said how many watts. But I have been using it for years and it works great for a slight curl or body.

Can be used for lower back when sitting in a chair and it must be plugged in to electrical outlet. Have never tried using when lying down. Just recently saw that HoMedics offers a similar Shiatsu that would fit an office chair and/or possibly use lying down, which I would have preferred.

Hi: I bought it because I was traveling to South America where the current is 220 volts. I used it and it was hot enough. The advantage is the dual voltage. I wish they could bring more big rollers. I tried hard to look for bigger one in dual voltage but couldn't find at the time I need it. Hope this helps.

Im not sure to be honest. I use it for my home spa for clients and I just plug it into my normal socket when Im expecting clients, I don't leave it plugged in all the time. It takes about 30 minutes to be completely ready to be used. Hope this helps ;)

DC 6V 800mA is what it says on the side of the device that it needs,.. Ive personal never used it on my current one. My friend who had used this when it came our ten years ago had the cord and used it all the time. The machine would get hot if you used it for to long. So keep this in mine. (We are talking like a hours at a time.) I just use this for 15 or 30 minute uses with a battery though.

Like another write said....forget joules...look at clamping voltage and get 300 or less volts. This has 500 and is almost worthless since most failures from a power company transformer can hit you with 440 and that took out everything in my house including a well...surge protected TVs included. Luckily if your handy with a screw driver and a soldering iron you can change the MOVs in most electronics and the device with work just like new...or leave take it out and you have it working but with no protect next time. This strip uses movs and one hit and it will be gone.

I have two twelve volt batterys connected to the back. I also have OO cables with 250 amp fuses . One per line. And so far I ran everything from a 30 gallon bostich compressor, a skill saw, grinder.and a 8,000btu air conditioner, for 2 hours and no problems. So for no problems. I highly recommend this product.

The description on the massager has Voltage: 110 - 120V-, Frequence: 60 Hz, Power: 28W, Rated working time: 15Min

no, you need the neck massager, its a separate unit; http://www.amazon.com/HoMedics-NMS-350-Shiatsu-Massager-Vibration/dp/B002QV01LO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1388196863&sr=8-3&keywords=heated+neck+massager

It's 1500 watts but more importantly, it draws 12.5 amps. Amps are more important. Most home circuits have 15 amp breakers or fuses so there should be nothing else on this circuit but the fan. DO NOT use an extension cord unless it is approved by an electrician. It works well (for me) and doesn't cost a lot to run. When the unit is on and warm, the color on the front screen changes (from black) to a lighter color. The company says this may wear out with use over time. The nice feature is the it has a "tip-over" switch that turns the unit off when it is knocked over. Stand it back up and it will start again. Just be careful about where you place it and that little ones can't get at it.

It's 120 volts at the plug. It's light, not electricity where it contacts your skin.

In the booklet it comes with, it says: Input Voltage: 120VAC/60 Hz. Power Consumption at 1.0 min./working: 650 watts/60 watts Im assuming this means its uses 650 watts per minute. It also says it takes 3-5mins to heat up. We just got ours and we live off grid on solar power. I wished I had asked this question before I bought it, because we only have a 300 Watt inverter, so we wont be able to use this. AND, Lava just flowed into my town of Pahoa yesterday, so no more post office service soon. I'd have to drive over an hour to get to a post office and return it, so I might just keep it, and save up for a bigger inverter. I just called Purple Cows and, after being on hold for a minute, I was asked to leave a message and told that someone would call me back. That was at 12:23 I got a call back at
