Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sit down. Take off your shoes. Use a big toe to turn on this electric foot massager. (There's a toe-friendly on/off switch at the bottom.) Use that toe to select the intensity of the foot massage you desire (high or low). Cold feet? Direct the toe to the infrared switch for muscle-relaxing, penetrating heat. Now lean back and run your tired, aching feet over the massager's vibrating surface while different-size bumps rejuvenate you according to the ancient practice of reflexology (or, if you don't accept reflexology's tenets, soothingly stimulate your feet). This durable plastic device measures 14 by 12 inches and is angled so your feet rest comfortably while you're seated. The massager carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars No more cold feet in the winter!, July 17, 2001

This review is from: HoMedics AK-3 Foot Pro Ultra Luxury Foot Massager (Health and Beauty)

If you are looking for a dual purpose item, this will serve you well as a food massager and foot warmer. When I first placed this under my desk, it rattled around a bit and scared my cat, who ran terrified down the hall. But, don't fear...once you place a towel or carpet under the unit, it is fine and very quite. You just hear a gentle hum.

You will be amazed at how light your legs feel after just a few minutes. All the controls can be turned on and off with your toes! That alone is a great feature. This unit has special "Toe-Tap" features. You can turn on the lo/hi vibration intensity button with your big toe of your left foot. The Heat on/off button can be pressed with your right big toe and then the massage on/off button is easy to turn on with your heel. You can also turn the lo/hi and on/off button with your heel

The unit feels warmer when you turn the massage function off and could be used in those cold days of winter when you just don't feel like wearing slippers. Once you turn off the infrared heat function, you will still feel the heat for quite a while.

The massage platform has raised accunodles (raised bumps in the plastic) for the stimulation of the soles of your feet.

The instructions recommend only using this unit for about 15 minutes or less. I found 3 minutes was a good amount of time and produced the desired light leg feeling. This is a unit you use while seated and standing on it can cause damage. They also recommend using the unit with "socked feet" and never with shoes.

The perfect gift for anyone who sits at their desk for most of the day or for those friends who stand all day and just want to come home, sit on the couch and relax.

This unit will fit nicely under your bed (or some couches) or you might just want to keep it permanently under your desk! That is where my "Foot Pro" is going to live.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good idea, poorly executed, July 8, 2003

By 

Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HoMedics AK-3 Foot Pro Ultra Luxury Foot Massager (Health and Beauty)

The problems with this unit are:

1. The electric cord is about a foot too short.

2. The vibrator is underpowered. You'll use the device on the high setting all the time, and still not get the relief you need.

3. The unit is so light, that it moves around on a smooth floor (it's okay on a rug).

Overall, the impression is one of cheapness.

I received this gift for Christmas, and I love it!! I love the fact that you don't need water like the other foot massagers. This is the perfect gift for someone that spends a lot of time on their feet. I also love the fact that I can either massage my feet or just warm them up. I love this product and would recommend to others. This truely is a great gift, I am very satisfied with this product!!
