I have Plantar Fasciitis in both feet and I wasn't sure whether this would help, but it has been very nice. It has not cured me of my foot problems (and I didn't expect it to), but it does bring temporary relief that lasts for hours.

From the pictures I wasn't sure how this massager would feel. It has little plastic projections that come out and vibrate at different speeds depending on the intensity level you set (there are 15). I thought that the plastic might be too hard and uncomfortable, but that is not the case at all. When it is vibrating it feels like little fingers massaging your feet. I like to start out at a low intensity like 2 and slowly work up to something like 10. Some of the intensities you can feel go up your calves or even higher.

It does not cover my whole foot (I wear a men's size 10 shoe), but I like moving my feet around so I can get at every little aching spot. The plastic projections have different shapes and sizes so you might want to experiment with different foot positions. There is also an infrared heat function (there are six different levels) that I thought I would really like, but with my swelling feet I find that no heat actually feels better.

There are three different auto programs that you can choose from. These are OK, but I prefer to change the settings myself at my own intervals. Since there is a remote included you don't even need to bend over to do this. There is an auto shutoff function. By default the massager turns off after 10 minutes, but you can change this to 15 minutes or 30 minutes.

Finally -- a very minor issue -- even though the massager has heavy rubber grip pads on the bottom, I found that it moves around a bit at the higher intensities on a wood floor. Putting the device on carpet or applying more pressure with your foot completely solves the problem.

It works great. I had breast cancer so had to have chemo and ended up with some nerve damage in my feet so sometimes my feet hurt a lot. This really helps to relax them and takes the pain away. I highly recommend it.

This is the first review I've ever done because this product was just so awesome! It has 5 levels of heat which are perfect. It has so many levels of vibrating massage intensity which vary from gentle to VERY STRONG! Also to cap it off it has 3 programs to give you the foot massage of your life. Oh! and it also has 3 time set functions 10 min, 15 min, and 30 min. Last but not least it sits firm on the floor without bouncing around like the other ones. I LOVE THIS ! It doesn't break down either cause I use it numerous times a day!!!!!

This Shiatsu Reflexology Foot Massager was a gift for my daughter & son-in-law. It arrived safely, well packaged & in good time.
My daughter, who has used a similar machine here at home, loves it, & it seems to have a lasting benefit on her.
My son-in-law has never experienced such a massage before, so, at the moment, finds he is unable to stay on it for long. However, with short but regular times on the machine, he is already beginning to feel a benefit in his feet, legs & his general well-being.
Everybody has a different tolerance rate, so the use of this machine will vary. I know that once my son-in-law has become used to the machine, he will allow himself to use it to help relieve his recurrent back pain.
If nothing else, increased blood circulation in the feet & lower legs has to be good, combined with sitting down & relaxing.
At best, this is a magnificent home health aid for the whole family!

I bought this as a gift for a family member. She didn't it find it to work at all. I was wondering why it had been reduced so much in price. She sent it back. I don't think it's worth anyone's time to buy it then send it right back.

This machine was quite a disappointment. It vibrates so strongly, even on the lowest setting, that it was painful. I'm no sissy but I couldn't stand it for more than a minute. It is also noisy and there is no heat...I returned it and I'm still on a search for a decent foot massager. Totally overpriced and worthless to me.

This foot massager is not for the weak of heart. This thing is very powerful; so powerful that it hurts sometimes. The hard plastic bumps are not comfortable in the least. The first one we got was broken. The vibration wasn't working correctly so the company sent us another one and we returned the broken one all free of charge. Although, it did take a while to convince them that it was broken. I can't use it because it hurts my feet, but my wife likes it and she sometimes props it up and uses it on her back. Overall, I think it's over priced. I'm not sure that we ever got it to heat up and the IR, is a joke if you ask me. It's come down in price since we bought it, but I still don't think it's worth $100.

I loved this until the plastic pieces started breaking off. The plastic screw caps on the top broke off after about a year of light use (2-3x a week for 15 mins). When the screw caps broke off, the whole plate lifted and vibrated noisily and exposed the electronics underneath. It seemed too dangerous to use after that and had to be discarded. Needless to say I am disappointed with the quality.

This foot massager is easy to use and leaves your feet feeling tingly . The aftereffect is a mild sensation up the legs that feels like the circulation is going. Much better than the cheaper foot massagers that have no effect at all.
Good to share with friends and family . A conversation piece that tickles the fancy ..

This foot massager does not perform near as well as another brand I purchased from Amazon for my Son. I returned this unit.For the price of this brand, the other I purchased for my Son being the same price, the difference is night and day. This one was a Xmas gift for my Hubby.
