9442 Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat, Purple

This unit is great, it delivers the right amount of heat and the combo massage and kneading works great. I compared a lot of different units before buying this one and I made the right choice. Its worth the price. UPDATE - I have used to unit a lot over the last few days as I need to get better circulation in my feet. Once you start using this machine, you won't want to shut it off, it works that well. There are some complaints on the reviews about it hurting your feet. There are 5 different settings, so if you start off at the lowest one, which is what the manufacturer suggests, you can increase the settings as you wish. This can be done with the unit running and your feet inside. I am a size 10 shoe, and my feet fit fine inside with room to spare. You have the option of having the heat on or off. The heat does not burn you, it is just enough to keep your feet warm. There is no setting to raise or lower the heat, just on or off. There is a timer on it so it runs for a maximum of 15 minutes, then it will auto shut off. It does a total massage of the entire feet, top, side and bottom. The unit is totally quiet, the only nose it makes is a very slight sounds when the air pressure is released, and you can just barely hear that. It is also light weight so it is easy to move around if you need to. I have not found any negatives or flaws in the unit at all, to me it is well worth the price.

ok, people. ill be honest with you. so i did a lot of research on foot massagers and read a lot of reviews about different ones. it was pretty hard decision, because most of them have pretty much same reviews. the reason i got this one is because out of 96 reviews, only 9 is bad and 60 is 5 stars!! when other massagers has almost equal amount of bad and good reviews!so, i got mine today and of course first thing i did is stick my feet in there and tried it! got to say, feels amazing! i see ppl complain about it to be painful or rough, i could see that, if you have very sensitive or huge feet. my size is 10.5 and i kinda have sensitive feet, but to me it is not rough at all. when it first started i was like oh wow, that's kinda rough, but couple minutes later i didnt think so, it seems like the machine knows the size of your feet and applies pressure according to that. one thing i can say, is , it would be nice if there were more rolling and focusing on heals. it does massage ur heals, but most of the action is around the top of the foot and toes. anyway . i will definitely recommend it to everybody i know, cuz u cant beat the price u know. oh and by the way, i am a massage therapist and got to say, this machine works a lot better than most of the MT's ))and if u think its too rough or too small or too big or too hot or too cold, just go get a reflexology massage from a real person!!!!once again for the machine, its a really good performance! feels like a real person massaging my feet. Get it and you will not be disappointed.

I really had a tough time purchasing an item like this online without having tried it out first, but there were more great reviews than 1 star reviews so I threw caution (and a few hundred bucks) to the wind and clicked "buy now with one click".Well, while this item arrives very well packaged & set up is as easy as attaching the cord the message itself HURTS!!! This thing squeezed my poor little toes until they screamed. I kept pulling my feet out because it was so uncomfortable. Not only does it squeeze your feet, but while holding them in this "relaxing" death grip the machine then starts smashing a roller ball over your toes.The heat setting worked well, and despite there being a vibrate button you can push that thing until the cows come home... No vibration to be found. As for the remote: mine didn't have one :(This is going to be a huge pain to return, but after owning this for less than 2 minutes I repackaged it and requested a return label.

This is one great device. I ordered this based on its reviews and also knowing that there are some drawbacks (including price). I got it very quickly (YAY!) and I used it immediately for several hours. It's very effective in terms of vibration, heat and shiatsu /pressure point massage. It's almost too good. The compression with air makes the fit of the feet into the 2 spots very tight on the top of the foot. (breathe, breathe breathe). It doesn't last long but if move your foot the wrong way, it's going to be *tight*. ( that's why they lost a star) That said, the machine does adjust the compression pretty quickly.It found all the knots and tight spots on my feet (that also link up to tight spots and knots on my body) and worked them really well. I had tight shoulders and it loosened up really quickly. My feet get sore from some of the same massaging/kneading points over and over again...... but that's in a very small section of one foot. I figure over time it will get better. I found that if I moved a foot horizontally in a different direction, it made a difference in the compression tightness and also the soreness of the pressure points. Used it today and found that my feet are not as sore as they have been for the last couple of days. (Bonus!)It's a solid, rather heavy machine. It's not flimsy plastic! It needs to sit in one place and not be moved around a lot. You can move it from room to room, just don't try to keep moving it while it's working. The cloth liner for the feet is washable too.I love this. It is a bit pricy but I think it's worth it. The 5th star is due to the lack of adjustments available for the compression.
