I rarely write reviews however I just say this is really good.
It’s exceeded my expectations massively. I struggle with insomnia and I tried this before bed and honestly I nearly drifted off sat in the chair.
Really like it! If you close your eyes at times you’d think it was an actual perso
We use it every day after work. A good investment. I would recommend it to others.
* A handy handle would make it easier to move around.
Wear a size 14 and feet fit comfortably in the machine. Remote is easy to use and you can adjust the level of massage while using.
Easy to use. Super relaxing. And it was even delivered following day after i purchased, great service.
All actions on the foot massager are really good except for the “Heat” – doesn’t really heat up!
Great fast delivery by Amazon as usual!!
I bought this massager for my husband because he works on his fewr 12 hours a day. He loves it! He uses it everyday, when my son isn’t putting his feet in it.
Great purchase. The family fights for it when we get home from work/school. Lol.
Schade, dass es so lange gedauert hat 9 Wochen Lieferzeit und letztlich mit GB Stecler kam, das ging aus der Beschreibung nicht hervor. War ein Geschenk, die Beschenkten knnen es nach langer Wartezeit mun erst ausprobieren, wenn der Adapter da ist, den die sich jetzt beszellt haben…. daher ein Stern Abzug.
An excellent machine to have your feet massaged!!
It has three massage settings: soft, medium, and strong. Two time settings,- 15min. and 30 min. I am using medium strength for 15 min. and feeling great. I am using it several times a day!
I would recommend it!
Wir haben es unserem Stiefvater zu Weihnachten geschenkt und er ist wirklich begeistert.
Sowohl die Massage- als auch die Wrmefunktion findet er klasse.
Also auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Aprs 2 mois d’utilisation et l’avoir fait essayer de la famille, des amis et mme des enfants en niveau 1 massage et 2 en pression. Tout le monde s’accorde dire : ” cet appareil est gnial !!!”. Donc je peux confirmer qu’il va bien d’une taille de petits pieds un 46 sans problme. La pression en plus du massage c’est le top pour moi qui souffre des pieds. Mon seul regret et cela ne tien qu’ moi, c’est que j’aurais aim un petit peu plus le ressenti de la chaleur. Cet appareil amlior une partie de mes douleurs.
Ist schn stark, von mir aus knnte es noch strker sein. Bin ein Mann 95kg.
Meiner Freundin gefllt es aber sehr gut.
Leider fing unser Gert nach knapp 1 Jahr an zu quietschen beim “Air” Modus. Da wird Luft in ein Sack gelassen um den Fu zu drcken. Das ging mir dezent aufn Sack. Deswegen hab ichs wieder zurck gegeben.
I’m so so pleased i bought this. As i have pf and my feet hurt so much. But with this my feet are so so much better. Rate this so high. As it really does the job
I brought this as a birthday present from my family and my best friend. It has helped so much with pains and aches. I would recommend buying this foot massager. I use it after standing long time at work.
Love the remote control as a feature, but it is poorly made. Very small and thin, easily destroyed or lost.
No replacement remote controls offered from Amazon or Renpho. Renpho was able to get me another remote control after several emails.
I love renpho products and third massage product from them. I have arthritis and the podiatrist recommended that I get foot massages as often as I can afford them. I already have the platform version. That’s great, but doesn’t do my arches. This came on sale and it was the price of two foot massages. This does the arches of your foot and it’s actually better than a human masseuse. The air kneeding function is fantastic for the top of my feet and helps increase the intensity of the rollers under my feet. This not only helps with my plantar fascia but also with releasing tension in my hips as it kneads my feet. Pros: really gets into your arches and heels. It does a pretty good job of massaging the sides of your feet. The version with the remote is worth the extra price. It gets the nerves that lead to your hips, so if you have arthritis in your hips this provides a lot of relief. The air pressure is fantastic. My feet feel like they’ve been massaged by a masseuse. Cons: I wish there was one more higher setting for the rollers (but the high is pretty good all the same). It doesn’t massage your toes or the back of you heels.
Highly recommended. Please note that I ordered the silver colour, but it’s more gold.
Das Gert sorgt fr eine angenehme Massage und trifft genau die richtigen stellen. Passt fr den Preis vollkommen und sorgt fr eine gute und abwechslungsreiche Massage. Ich habe gesehen, dass in den anderen kommentaren gesagt wird, dass immer nur die gleichen Stellen massiert werden dies stimmt aber nicht. Das Gert hat zwei Programmstufen 15 und 30 Minuten. Hier luft ein Programm was Schritt fr Schritt arbeitet und an sich alle Flchen des Fues gut massiert. Meine Fe (Gre 48) passen ebenfalls problemlos und schmerzlos rein.
Used it lots of times and it’s heating your feet. Really helpful for a swollen or tired feet. Relaxes your muscles. Great product. Only problem was that one of the device buttons got broke. But having a remote controller not a big issue.
The massage/air pressure can range from rather light to high, it I’d say it’s suitable for someone looking for a foot massager on either end of the scale, personally I prefer the high end and thats great for me. Spending 30 mins with that on in front of the tv is very relaxing.
As a very busy mum on her feet all day this is a real treat to boost the circulation and provide a deep massage that revives the feet. I am a size 4 but it still works for small feet and the adjustable pressure is very good.
I get restless legs at night. I use this to stop it. And it’s works a treat.
I have a size 3 (36)foot and it works really well. I wish I had gotten this year’s ago
Really happy with the RENPHO foot massage machine. We’ve been using it for about 3 months now, and have found it really helpful with our tired feet.
The only issue we’ve had is with the Remote Control. It’s flimsy at best, and stopped working after 2 day’s.
Other than that, very handy piece of ki
Complete stress relief after being on my feet all day.
Nice product but my wife is not so happy with this as the machine cannot massage all the areas so i have to massage her again by myself.. kind of disappointed as i was expecting to use this time for me!
Only thing I would say is it’s barely heated. It’s warm but I don’t know if that’s just my heat warming from the natural process of being rubbed. It doesn’t heat up that I can tell. I’m not sure if it’s faulty but I decided as it’s been much better than expected I’ll just take it and not be fussed. So if you’re main reason for purchase is to get toasty hot feet, maybe lower your expectations, but I would still completely recommend 🙂
Very easy to use. The three modes are great depending how achy your feet are.
Great item.
A little louder than I thought but still grea
I needed something to pamper my feet after a long ten hour day on my feet and this has done the trick!
My wife uses it twice a day at max strength. I on the other hand can’t take that much. Fantastic machine after being in your feet all day. Using the remote you can quickly change setting if it’s to much or not enough. I now have a much happier wife which is always a good thing.
The squeezing air bag is what makes the difference as it keeps your foot in positio
Using it daily. It’s does work-obviously not as well as human but makes difference. I wish I could adjust settings to get even more pressure – but my son for example is satiated even when using moderate settings. Overall good – quite expensive but I’m using it daily so probably worth the money.
I’ve used this everyday since I was bought it as a present. It does make a slight noise whilst working, however it’s not an issue. I did make the mistake of trying the air pressure and massager high – that was painful! I’d love it if it catered for high arches and Achilles area- however, it’s a great piece of kit after a hard day or a run.
I only just received this. I’m 46yrs old and suffer with osteoarthritis in both feet and swelling in my heels. It’s painful in the mornings and after standing long hours i’m unable to walk.
Today my heels were slightly painful and hurt soon as I stood up. This came and I used it for about 10 minutes, I stood up and no pain and for once my feet felt normal. I can’t believe how good it is. Feels like someone giving me a proper massage and squeeze of my feet.
Can’t recommend it enough.
WE have been using it for 10 days and are quite happy with it. We would like to have more heat but it does not allow you to do it. Hope it lasts.
Great foot massager, helps relieve tension at the end of a long day and let’s you feel super relaxed. Heat function, kneading and air pressure can be adjusted to suit individual needs.
My mum has osteoporosis and arthritis; since using this every day, she can walk longer distances and the pain reduced significantly. I tried it for a few times, and although I don’t have any issues with my feet, I really enjoyed it and it’s very good for tired legs; Totally recommend it!
Nice machine. The display stopped working the second day, I guess that’s why they added the remote…
I was very sceptical about buying this but I can’t tell you how good it is.. I have arthritis in my feet and pins after operations but on the minimum level it’s wonderful, then can’t refit the higher one towards the end of my 15 mins .. can’t praise this machine enough for the ease of use, light to carry, and excellent foot massage
I purchased a small device last year to try to help with the pain of Plantar fasciitis and found it to be useless as it kept breaking after a couple of weeks of use. I decided to splash out and try the Renpho foot massager. What a treat! My husband and I are using it every day. It is so relaxing and really feels like a genuine deep foot massage. We first started using the medium settings but now we are used to it prefer to use the highest settings for both kneading and air intensity. I still have the Plantar fasciitis pain but after a walk it is relieved short term by the massager. I am hoping that it will improve eventually with continued use. Even if it is not I still love my Renpho and think it was one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. It is so easy to use and you can watch television or read while enjoying a relaxing deep foot massage. I would definitely recommend this product.
The product is good for pain on toe area but not good for those who having foot pai
My wife has found it has helped reduce some of the pain she gets in her feet.
Bought for me, but used by all my family. I enjoy it, but it can be slightly uncomfortable on my heels. Wife is less keen and thinks it can be painful all over. My 2 daughters enjoy it the most and use it daily.
This foot massager is excellent. It gets the job done.
The massage is divided into two adjustable groups; rotation and strength/speed of rollers in key places on underside of foot, and air-pressure applied to the ‘sock’ that roles and grips the feet.
Between these two different types of massage mechanism, you get a pretty good foot massage. I would recommend to new users that you use it a couple times each day, for a few days, before making a judgement. My first use I wasn’t sure if it was enough, but a few uses in and I have started to notice the difference to the feel of my feet at various points throughout the day.
However, the ‘heat’ provided across the two sessions (either 15m or 30min) is a little lacking for my preference. it takes 10min+ before I even noticed it warm up, it is, however, enough. I would have just preferred a more noticeable shift from cold to warm/hot.
If (like me) you are going from nothing-> to this unit, I think you will be satisfied. If you are looking to upgrade from another massager, I am not sure this unit does enough to justify the price tag – you probably have the essential features already covered in what you are using.
I purchased for my other half for Xmas. It’s a great foot massager. The air feature which grabs your foot is great. If you have small feet like me (U.K. 5) be sure to move your foot position about to find all the knots. It’s ready to use out the box. It doesn’t heat up massively but really that isn’t an issue I don’t feel. I think it’s an excellent gift for someone you love with 😉
I thought this was the answer for my poor circulation but I have only used ir twice, on a low setting and it hurts too much on the sides of my feet, they and not particularly wide and not swollen but i had to stop because it was too intense
Bought for husband as a Xmas gift and I’m glad I gave it him sooner as his feet were very painful. As soon as he started to use it I knew I’d made the right decision to buy, he used level 1 to begin with then tried the other intensity levels, all very good. The only thing I’d say is when you turn up the airflow level (heat) I think, it feels like your feet are getting squashed, we might be getting it wrong so will read instructions again. But I would recommend this to anyone suffering with tired feet, I have trouble with the underneath of my toes sometimes feels I’m walking on pebbles and I tried it and it was great.
After having this little massager for more than a year I wanted to leave you with a couple of thoughts.
It’s my first-foot massager ever and I thought it did a good job at giving me a massager after a long day at work. I’m a construction worker and being on my feet all day long and having a massage at the end of the day is a blessing really.
I recommend it for men and women. I can’t give it 5 stars because I would’ve loved to have a bit more squeeze power, not enough for me.
I hope this is helpful.

Read many reviews of foot massagers before buying this one. Wanted a good machine that could almost replicate a human foot massage and this was quite close.
I have small feet (36/3) so its important to find your sweet spot in the machine as it can be painful otherwise. The air pressure settings offer enough flexibility for how soft/strong you want the massage – high setting can be painful when the kneading setting is also set high but that could be as I have small feet! Takes a long time to heat up but once it has it is a welcome treat for tired and cold feet. A little noisey but you get use to it.
Remote control ideal for those who struggle to bend over to adjust settings. Not too heavy to move around either but given its bulky size it xannot easily be left in same position. I keep mine under my desk so can leave it there and use it when required.
Overall I would recommend it and it would be a great and unique gift.
I started a job walking a out 25,000 steps a day, obviously my feet were complaining especially in steel toe boots, I read the reviews and thought this was worth a go.
First try and all the pain left my feet and to be honest after 10 minutes I was that relaxed I fell asleep, best purchase I have made in years, hopefully it lasts a long time. Well worth the money .
When my husband decided we needed this foot massager, I looked at the price and thought he’d lost his mind. But now that he and I have had time to use it, I’m SO glad he found it! We both suffer with leg cramps, and using this massager for just 15 minutes puts a stop to them. One night when I had sore legs and insomnmia, I put my feet in and turned it on. After 15 minutes, I was feeling calmer and more comfortable. I went back to bed and slept deeply for hours. We really love our foot massager and use it at least twice a day. It’s easy to set up, and you can use the remote control or just push the power button to get your warm massage started. Yhe massager is not heavy and if you have back problems like I do, that’s a plus. I just grab it, put it in front of my chair, put my feet in, and turn it on. You can regulate the speed of the massage, time, kneading action, and air. I tend to keep it on Low, while my Husband puts it on High when he uses it. This is one of the best gizmos we’ve ever purchased!
This foot massager does not disappoint. I bought it to help relieve the pain and discomfort of plantar fasciitis. After reading the reviews I decided to buy and I’m so glad I did! I don’t hear the noise now as am used to it, I use it every day or so. Being a hairdresser and in my feet 10-12 hours a day, I’ve suffered with sore feet for a few years. I do use other things to help but this it the best thing that helps me. My feet are no longer painful, they are a bit sore by the end of the week but that’s just my job. My partner uses it too to relax, he loves it just as much as me.
I had a similar machine 20 years ago which cost approx 150 exc VAT. This one is very similar and better priced, although not quite as good has it does not have the lower ankle massage. Noise was a concern, but it is OK and you can easily watch TV, it is not as noisy has the video reviews imply. I don’t feel any heat and it can be painful if you don’t postion your feet correctly.
I religiously read the reviews before buying this massager as (to me) it’s an expensive bit of kit. I have been suffering for months now with Plantar Fasciitis and have tried all sorts of supposed remedies. I figured that this machine would help circulation, etc. if nothing else. It’s a pretty large beast but not heavy to move about. My one criticism would be that the electric cable could be longer – you’ll need an extension lead if you don’t have an electrical socket very near your chair. The remote control saves having to bend over to use the controls on the machine itself. I was a little unnerved at first because it’s an unfamiliar sensation but soon relaxed into it. I can honestly say it had an effect after just the first use! I definitely had less pain in my foot the next day. Am now using it religiously every day – as is my other half – to improve circulation, etc. Highly recommended!
In 2020, I had developed a pain in my foot fitting with metatarsalgia (this went on some time). I saw a podiatrist, who said there was clearly some wear and tear and possible arthritis. I was already wearing Hoka trainers, but even 3 miles of walking on concrete could cause noticeable pain. I got Powerstep insoles and domes from shoeinsoles.co.uk. I got Dykook toe wraps from Amazon. And I got this foot massager, which I used most days of the week 30-60 minutes. I also got a Fylina massager off Amazon (great), which I have used on my feet, but not as often (as it is hand-held). On Sunday, I ran the Virtual London Marathon on my local streets. My muscles ache, but I have no pain in my feet. How far each has helped, I obviously can’t say (but I know the problem was certainly ongoing until I had started with the domes and massager). The massager is easy to use, has a good level of oomph, and is comfortable.
I run and walk a lot and this foot massager is exactly what I was looking for. More pressure would have make it even more perfect.
I’m going to try and avoid being gushing about this device and be factual (I’ve waited a week or two before writing this), but I am astounded by its positive impact.
I occasionally suffer from what I believe is plantar fasciitis in my right foot. It starts off in the region of one of the joints in the ball of my foot connecting to the big toe. It’s much worse in the morning then eases up. During bouts, the pain then spreads across the ball of my foot after a few days, then the side of my foot then, sometimes my heel. I normally control it with a compression sock. At is worse, I can’t walk first thing in the morning, I have to hop.
Within 24 hours of using this the pain in the side and along the ball of my foot disappeared. After 2 or maybe 3 days, the pain around the big toe had gone. No pain in the morning. The relief is overwhelming, as normally this drags on for weeks or months. I’m using it daily now.
Thinking rationally, this is a nicely automated version of the spiky balls, rollers etc that you can buy for and are recommended by physios to self treat PF (I have them, and they are barely used). With this, you can effortlessly treat your feet. In the past I have used osteopaths etc to try to treat the PF. The cost of this was equivalent to two sessions with an osteopath.
Could not recommend it highly enough.
This product is amazing. But you MUST use it properly. With every massage you need to warm the muscles up first. It’s like exercise; you wouldn’t run a marathon without a warm up (Unless you wanted to seriously injure yourself). You also shouldn’t take a massage without warming your muscles up first.
Start with heat, slow knead and mid air intensity. Do this for 15 minutes until you are relaxing. Once you have fully relaxed and your feet are calm, switch it to a higher intensity. I think high is too much on the kneading, but 30-45 minutes of mid kneading with mid air intensity is enough to leave you in a complete trance.
Great product. My only issue is the remote which is extremely weak and only really works if you point it directly at the device.
I love this thing. I thought it was a gimmick but was desperate for something to help so, although it’s expensive I decided you probably get what you pay for. I could always send it back if it wasnt what it promised.
I tried it out and it’s lovely. I dont use the heat setting, but being able to change the speed and air is perfect. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for this sort of thing. Of course, if you have diabetes or any kind of problem with your feet you might want to check with your doctor or a physio first.
It does work well, but they should tell you that if you are a size 11 it’s a neat fit. If it was slightly bigger you could move your feet around a bit to do a better job.
So I have been looking for a product that would give a good massage as I spend about 8-9 hours a day on my feet. I like a form massage on my feet and this product on the high level delivers that. The heat function was looking forward to but it doesn’t heat up that much so don’t buy this product if that is a feature you were expecting to get a lot out of.
Did as I wanted. Relaxing and very simple to use. Plug and use straight away. Settings are good and easy. Remote is very useful and works well. So far so good. The noise isn’t that much and you forget about it quite quickly. Over all excellent product.
I do like this product however I never had another foot massager to compare with but still I like my first one. It’s decent for people who have to stand for a long time like me as a lifeguard. The air intensity is genuinely pleasant. The heat is not like you get warm this is just enough.
Losing the remote control makes me nervous because the board is not working with finger touch while it’s a tiny remote control and seems it can be damaged or destroyed easily the other thing is plugging and unplugging the adaptor is a bit annoying whenever you use it, luckily using this is very simple though.
Ultimately, I’m happy with this product and I’m using it often.
Love the air squeezing action on it, and the rollers do massage the whole foot. On the negative, it is a bit too hard on the heel section (even on the lowest setting) so I have to put padding in this area before putting my foot in. It is also a little noisy when in use. Saying that though I’m very happy with my purchase and it is relaxing and simple to use.
I was sceptical about buying a foot massager but the reviews were good so I thought I’d give it a try!
It’s really good. Not as good as human touch but who’s going to massage my feet for two hours while I work??
My favourite part is the way it squeezes the feet using air pressure. I’d like to be able to have a setting just for that part.
The remote control is very small and I suspect would be easily lost. Would be good if there was somewhere to store it when it’s being stored.
All in all I’m extremely happy with it.
Nothing to dislike about this product.
I spent a lot of time researching shiatsu foot massagers and reading reviews before I chose this one.
It’s simple to use, heats up within 5 min, and gives a very relaxing foot massage. The different pressure intensities allow you to tailor your massage to your needs. Sometimes I love the intense pressure, other days, the lighter the better. The base of my feet are well kneaded and rolled. I actually bought this for myself as I was having lower leg pain, and it helped tremendously. But I ended up giving it to my mom as she needs it more than I do. She is frail but absolutely adores it. I would definitely recommend this foot massager for any age.
I have Plantar Faciitis and bought this for that reason to try to help a bit, and it does that and more.
So very relaxing, just sends you to another place for 15 or 30 minutes.
Before I bought this I had read some say it was noisy, and I can say to you there is a slight noise from the air compression side of it, but this isn’t too loud and is almost quite a relaxing sound.
I have been using it twice a day on the lowest of everything setting and for 15 minutes a time. I did turn the air compressin up to full to try it and it was too much for me, so turned it back to low again.
My friends visited me (he is a Physiotherapist). I asked if they wanted a go on it and they both did & loved it. They said they will be buying one, or visiting me more often.
It is quite dear but worth it I think. You do get a really good happy feet feeling during and after using it.
Don’t hesitate! Just buy one! If you have sore or tired feet in need of some tlc then honestly, just buy one!
Omg is like a full foot massage. I’ve only been using it in the high setting, and I’m on my 3rd round of 15 minutes because it is soooooooooooo relaxing and pampering.
Honestly, it’s a beautiful product. If my feet could smile, they would!
Ps for plantar faciatis (wrong spelling!), it will help, but realistically you need good insoles and golf ball to restore the arch of your foot. This product is just like a pamper day for your feet. The high setting is a real deep massage, so yes, really good for tired achy feet!
Buy one and love your feet. Good luck
The machine arrived, I did 15min in the afternoon, then 15min before bedtime.
ALL PAINS ARE GONE.. PFF VANISHED.
I can hardly believe it.
I will maintain this usage and see if this is stable. I am a pro drummer, so this is going to be a daily routine for many years!
What can be improved?
The holes where you out your feet could be opened slitghtly more on the right and left sides but this a very minor inconvient and may be just me. These holes by the way are quite large. I am size 9 and plenty of room.
Great look, light to transport, immediately ready to use after plugin, great remote, a sturdy, well made professional product…
But mainly this gives you a thorough foot massage as if from a professsional masseur.
Big fan here!
I have been suffering from tendinitis and plantar fasciitis for over a year and tried exercises, gels, insoles and everything else that was recommended by doctors and friends but nothing seemed to have any effect till I bought this foot massager. I felt like an invalid because the pain went to my hip and back as I couldn’t walk properly without holding onto something, but this little machine has actually given me my life back. There is still a slight ache in my foot but I can get about easily and enjoy my walks with my dog again, I cannot explain how wonderful it feels to be virtually pain free again thanks to this wonderful machine.
Worth every penny.
Great mode settings access via remote control. Making it easy to use and comfortable on your feet. In the comfort of wherever you are. Maybe if the design was abit flatter to enable better storage but without compromising the air pressure. Also another idea would be to take this concept forwards with a cordless version using a battery powerful enough to give a minimum of 30 minutes power.
Lovely machine, the only thing is that there should be extra padding around the inside edges as your ankle area starts to hurt as the edges of the machine are quite hard and not soft enough. Also noticed a clicking sounds after the first few uses coming from the machine, not sure if this is normal. Other than that all good.
I’ll be honest, it’s not as good as a foot massage from a masseuse but unless you’re an oligarch your not going to be able to pay a tiny masseuse to sit under your desk and give you a twice daily foot massage whilst you work from home.
I mean Covid life sucks doesn’t it, we can’t go out, we can’t go on holiday, we can’t get a massage, we can’t socialise with co-workers in the office but we can work from home in our pjs and buy a foot massager to sit under your desk without anyone on zoom knowing that your feet are being warmed and kneaded whilst you listen to George from accounts drone on about something you don’t need to hear…
It’s a bit silly, it’s a bit indulgent but right now that’s fine with me!!
It’s so indulgent it comes with a remote control so you don’t even have to bend down under your desk to turn it on! Just slip your feet in and have the under desk pixies work their magic…
Oh and it’ll cope with my size 11 feet too!
So it runs for 15m or 30m at the moment I use it twice a day for 15m and that seems to do nicely.
It has 3 different kneading intensities and 3 different air intensities. The higher the kneading intensity, the stronger the massage. The higher the air intensity, the more the air bags surround your feet fill up, which push your feet down into the kneading heads.
Personally, I use the highest kneading setting with medium (level 2) air intensity. Level 3 air and it just squashes my feet too much that it’s uncomfortable. Level 1 and my feet aren’t getting enough pressure from the kneading heads. I suggest playing around with the settings depending on your foot size, I’m size 8 mens.
Also has a heat option too, which personally I don’t use very often. I get hot enough feet as it is, and don’t really want to be sweating into the massager! It does had a protective cover for each foot, which are removable and washable, so it’s not the end of the world.
It’s quite big, bugger than I thought it would be, so bear in mind that it will take up quite a bit of storage space.
Noise wise, yes it’s noisy, I use it while watching TV and do notice it, but it doesn’t affect what I’m watching, I’m still able to hear everything on the TV easily enough.
Price, it’s the same as 3x 1hr massages, but it’s mine forever to use whenever I want, so pretty good in that respect, very happy with the purchase!
I have used various types of foot ‘massagers’ to improve circulation and decided to purchase this one because of the added massager element which is good especially as I suffer with Plantar fasciitis. It really helps. (I am a size 9 shoe). The air pressure and warmth is a tad lower than I would have liked but for the price this is a steal! It really helps especially after a 10 mile hike. My wife also uses this machine after her workouts and is really pleased with the experience and says it does help tired feet.
I won’t go into details regarding this wonderful machine’s features as they have been covered comprehensively by others. What I will say though is that I have been having problems with my feet for a while now. Hubby and I have spent the last 2 weeks working on our self build, going up and down ladders and steps and carrying heavy materials for hours on end and this has had a dire affect on my feet. I’ve been barely able to stand on them some mornings/evenings, let alone walk on them! We have only just taken delivery of this magical machine and I have spent the last hour(!) with my feet being pummelled, and already they feel so much better.
I think this machine is going to be a game changer for me, my best buy in quite a while.
Well I’ve only been using this for a few days but what a fantastic purchase, it was delivered super fast and packaged well, although it seems expensive it really is a great product, at the moment I can only tolerate the kneeding on low and the compression on medium but it has helped with my painful feet, I also get numbness and pins and needles in my foot because of a back problem and I really do think this is helping, I particularly like the compression part of it, its actually addictive but I do limit myself to 30 minutes a day as I don’t want to over do it and possibly bruise my feet, I really hope this product turns out to be reliable as I wouldn’t want to be without it now, i would highly recommend it for people who suffer with painful achey feet.
It has sufficient control variation through its three main control functions, to allow adjustment for most levels of foot/skin sensitivity and after the massage session, I experience a significant reduction in pain and numbness, even if in my case, only for a few hours. I use it morning and evening everyday and my situation is greatly relieved for this use. I anticipate further benefit with time.
I award 5 stars overall. The four star results are due to the questions relating to the remote control and heat. The remote control is useful if you have trouble bending or using your feet to manipulate the control buttons but it does not affect the performance at all. Not having the remote control (which is a purchase option) is no big deal. I have the remote and its helpful. The heat function is noticeable but not an overwhelming benefit in my opinion. That does to mean it would not benefit others.
Overall, I wish I had purchased this a long time ago.
Joke apart. They are well built, fast shipped. I would recommend buying without remote as you sit so close to it that its hardly a matter of pressing the buttons on the unit or by remote. Buy the remote only if you have a serious back problem else that will be just 10 bucks for you without much value addition.
The highest setting can really press your foot hard and I personally feel that’s thing although that same setting was uncomfortable for my wife. So take time to see what settings work for you the best and enjoy using it.
I had the massager under my desk and next to the couch so the remote control is very useful and stops me having to bend down to adjust the settings.
The first time I used it, I was amazed how realistic it felt. It really feels like a massage therapist is giving you a foot massage. I personally prefer it on Low setting as it can be really powerful on High setting. I find myself having to lift my heels because it starts to hurt a bit but I realized is nothing to do with the massager because my wife doesn’t have the same problem.
It does have a heat setting, but it is very subtle. I can hardly feel the heat, so I wouldn’t mind to have a little more warmth from it as I always find warmth very relaxing and helps with massage. It could also help on those cold days to be a 2-in-1 benefit.
The construction is really good, feels like premium material and visually it looks nice in any room.
Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with this product and would highly recommend getting one.
The air compression is the key thing that differentiates this from other foot massagers – it feels like your feet are being hugged or gripped tightly and this enables it to hit your pressure points so effectively.
It is an unusual sensation at first but it gets addictive!
There are 4 main features starting with a timer which allows a 15 or 30-minute massage interval.
The second adjustable feature is the knead intensity, now this works in tandem with the air intensity to give you a varying intensity of massage. It really does change the type of massage you get depending on how you set the knead and air intensity features together. It varies from low, medium or high knead intensity & if the air intensity it up high, it will definitely feel more forceful. After trying it for several days in a row, I had to adjust it down as my feet were feeling more sensitive & it was still great.
As mentioned, air intensity can be adjusted, high, medium & low. This will dictate how ‘gripped’ your feet will feel & this may not appeal to everyone but it is the star feature for me.
You can have the heat setting turned on or off which is great for me, having cold feet.
It comes with a remote control but the massager itself has a touch screen so you can set it really easily – a nice little touch which makes it feel more advanced.
You can unzip the pockets in the footwell & wash them, which is a great idea you wouldn’t necessarily have known you wanted.
Only downsides I’ve seen mentioned is it being described as noisy but it doesn’t disturb me at all, I didn’t really think about it – but if you want to have a calming vibe while you’re having a foot massage it might be worth thinking about. Other than that, perhaps the size might be awkward to store or bring in & out as needed but not a concern for me.
I definitely believe the claims that it activates joints, eases tired feet & improves blood circulation that it states on the box.
Really can’t see how another foot massager can beat this, a fantastic product.
For me the added air intensity is what sets this apart from other foot massages as it give a different and welcome dimension.
Its great that you can zip out the lining for washing, would be fab if if the product came with a second set for multi user use/hygenie purposes, but I am sure the lining will wash and dry quickly enough when required.
I wanted to try out the product for a full week before submitting my review. I can confidently say it’s now become part of my daily routine and I don’t know how I went without one for so long! I like how you can adjust the Kneading and Air intensity separately, allowing you to fine tune the massage to your preference. I have the massager under my desk, the remote control is very useful and stops me having to bend down to adjust the settings.
The first time I used it, I was amazed how realistic it felt. It genuinely feels like a trained massage therapist is giving you a foot massage. During operation, you can hear the motors and air pump working away, however; it’s not overpowering if you’re watching TV etc. I have attached a short video of the massager in operation, so you can hear/see for yourself. The heating function is also an excellent feature. I haven’t used it much lately, but I imagine come winter time it will be very much appreciated.
Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with this product and would highly recommend getting one. I have also let my partner and friends have a go, and they all love it!
