If you are considering this, get it
Where has this thing been all my life?My children have jobs and are no longer willing to rub my feet for money. I could have saved so much if I had bought this years ago. I have been trying to rub them myself and it just doesn’t work bc of the positions involved. Sometimes you can get a good pedicure massage, but it’s hit or miss.This thing is amazing. I don’t like the vibration, to me it is just annoying, but you can turn any individual function off. You can adjust the intensity of the massage as well. The combination of heat, rolling massage and air compression is everything I have been wanting.

Should’ve ordered this years ago
I love this so much that I use it nonstop when not at work. Also, get the one with the remote- it’s worth it. I’ve had it about 3 weeks and I’m constantly using it before/after work or on my days off. The settings are very strong even on low. The heating element can be too hot but it still works great with it off. I don’t like the 15 min auto shut off. I love that I can use it lying down- I think I like it better that way. Anything above the lowest setting can be painful when using all 3 modes. My daughter uses it when I’m at work so it’s definitely proven to be worth the money. It might just be me, but some times I can’t use the kneading mode and the air compression at the same time unless I’m lying down because it’s intense. Buying one for my parents for Christmas.

I really want to like this foot massager..
Pros:-The kneading and air compression are strong enough.(I don’t use vibration as I find it mostly ineffective; the intermittent functioning and sound I find annoying).-It has a much better massaging “effect” than others I’ve tried, partly due to the larger-size of one of the massage heads which move right under the ball of the foot. This, along with the massage component “groupings” working in unison together with a “change-up” every couple of minutes or so makes for a nice realistic massage feel.-It’s very light! Easy to grab in the center with one hand and move around.-The slot for the remote is nice.Cons:All of the above would would make this a 5 star, however:-VERY limited kneading coverage. The same amazing feeling while it kneads the arch area of my foot isn’t so amazing (and can even hurt) after 3 or 4 minutes in the same spot, let alone 15 minutes, while the rest of the foot sits with nothing happening. The kneading-area reaches across the arch from where the ball of the foot starts to where the heel begins. This would not be *so* bad if I was able to move my foot around inside the boot, but the boxed-in design of the boot makes that impossible. I am a women’s size 9.5.If there were 3 separate kneading-components for the ball, toes, and heel this machine would be amazing and worth the extra money.Removing the washable liner helped somewhat. I was able to slide my feet further inside for more massage coverage around the back half of the foot, but sliding my feet backward for more coverage around the front half of the foot had minimal affect since 75 % of my feet had to stick over the “wall” at the back of the boot created by the boxed-in design. Even so, you have to to point your toes downward and stretch them into the grouping of massage-heads that are moving around in place. None of this is ideal or the way the machine was designed to be used.Also of note: In the graphic illustration for this product showing the “insides”, we see a small tray of cone-like heads grouped together right under the ball/toe area of the each foot. I’m not sure what their function is as that part of my feet never reached that area due to the boot design stopping my leg over the front of the ankle, preventing my feet from moving further into the boot.I took the liners out to see if that would help, I was able to slide them in further, and hang my toes over a kind of “ledge” where I could feel the cones below, that I saw in the illustration. I did not sense them dong anything on any setting. I actually had to strain my foot forward to touch the top of them. A strange design.-This machine does not default to the “last setting” at shut-off. Super annoying to have to re-set it each time and listen to a loud beep sound for each and every mode/sub-mode setting.-Weak signal from remote (not a huge deal but notable)Ultimately, with a modicum of tweaking in design and function this COULD be an amazing little foot massager.
