Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat, Remote Control, Size up to 13, Electric Heated Foot Massage Machine, 3 Level Kneading/Vibration/Compression/Heat, Gifts for Mom,Dad

This machine helps you put your best feet forward!
After 39 years of having a standing and walking job working in Hospitals and outpatient clinics as a Physical Therapist Assistant, MY body is the one needing PT now. My feet, legs, back, shoulders and hands got worn out. Shoulder and wrist got some surgery and other areas just need some TLC. I saw this Foot Massager and was excited to get some TLC for my feet!The machine is fairly compact and portable, and offers an assortment of techniques to soothe aching feet, including kneading, heat, vibration and air compression squeezing, with each having Low-Medium-High intensity selections.For me, even the air compression squeezing is such a relief, as I battle with a lot of swelling and tightness and a good squeezing pressure massage can help to alleviate that, and help squeeze out the swelling.As I use the machine more, I discover that if I want the rollers to deliver the kneading in more areas of the bottom of my foot, I can reposition my foot by pushing it in the machine farther, since the openings accommodate up to a Men’s size 13 foot! This allows the rollers to knead my arch or heel areas more. Also, the L-M-H setting of the air compression can change the feeling of the kneading and vibration. On High compression, it also increases the pressure of the rollers because your foot is held in place more. If I want more kneading on the ball of my foot, I will have my foot placed with my heel pulled all the way back into the machine.Also, keep in mind that how you have your body positioned can affect the position of your feet. If you are sitting in a chair in an upright position, you will have more downward pressure onto your feet. If you are leaning backward as in a couch, your pressure will be more on your heels. This is even before you start the machine. So experiment with the position of your body and foot placement inside the machine to get the most out of your foot massager!Other nice features of the machine:-Removable, washable liners-Remote control. You don’t have to lean forward to select the settings, but you do have to aim the remote at the top of the machine.Overall I think this foot massager is definitely worth its price, even saving you from spending more money for a professional massage! If your feet don’t feel good, then it will affect your everyday activities! Take care of your feet!

Great massaging!
I love the massage on my arthritic feet. It’s firmer than the foot rubbing ones. Does a much better job.

Great brand
I’ve picked up quite a few Snailax (Snail?) over the last 3-4 years and they have all been good. This unit has seen some improvements over the years with the best features being:Pros=price, sub $100. Some of these were running $150-200 in years back=includes remote. Who wants to bend over to change things?=individual booties for washing. I think the older style had a whole single thing that was wasted.=allows up to size 13Cons=these things are huge, take up too much storage in my opinion. This is not specific to this unit.No complaints

Powerful foot massager
This feels so good on your feet! My family and I have been fighting over who gets to use it. It is powerful, though. I find the kneading or compression functions at the medium or high level to be a bit too intense and start to hurt my feet after only a few minutes. I wish it targeted my heals just a little more. It does heat up quickly. The remote is awesome, especially as I like to use this below my desk – otherwise, I’d be smacking my head constantly trying to adjust it at my feet. I really like this enough that I plan to gift one to my mom at Christmas.

This foot massager performs better than I expected or thought possible. I wanted to try one out as your feet have so many relations to pain elsewhere in your body. My feet currently feel amazing after being in it for 5 minutes. I’m super impressed with the functions and that I can turn any of them completely off and have three settings for strength. Heat has a high and a low. This does way more than the classic constant vibration of any foot massager I’ve tried before. Even the vibration of this one has a pattern to it and a strength that feels like it could do something even on its own. This feels amazing and does not cause pain to any area of my feet while in use.I absolutely love that this is washable. Other ones that I have seen are not washable and therefore gross.Incredibly happy with my purchase, I opened the box about 15 minutes ago and I have already told three people about this product.I highly recommend.

I have purchased 3 different foot massagers over the years; this one fits my feet (size 10 women’s) without squishing my toes; gives a really nice kneading, and has serious compression: I work as a server part time, and I’m 40 so my feet get sore and stay sore for a few days after a long shift.This machine is honestly amazing. I get a really nice and deep massage without any pain or pinching.The only reason I took off a star is because the remote does not work, even after swapping out the battery; and the heat function isn’t very noticeable, however the massage will increase circulation in your feet and they will warm up on their own!
