The thing I like best about this Sharper Image Deep Kneading Shiatsu Foot Massager is that it makes my feet feel so great after a long day walking or standing. It's a lot more effective than massagers that simply vibrate. It feels almost like someone is sitting there massaging your feet for you with their hands. We've had the machine for over 3 months now and it gets a lot of use around here.

It's a very simple machine to use with adjustable feet for height and both heat and non-heat settings. I love the way it looks with the heat setting "on", with the little revolving red lights. You'll see in the video how cool it looks. I hope you enjoy watching it and I hope it gives you a better idea of how it works. Two thumbs up for this great little machine!

We bought this for my mom for Christmas. When you first put your feet on it, its almost uncomfortable, but as you relax, it definitely starts to massage your aching feet. I only give it 4 stars because there is no way to remove the fabric to clean, so I suggest using only after getting out of the shower, or wearing clean socks. The other part that I didn't care for is that if the machine runs over 20 minutes it can wear out the motor. The machine does shut off automatically after operating for 20 mins so that does help. But if you have several people that need a massage, you need to let the machine cool before the next person gets relief.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this product, just be aware of its limitations and enjoy the massage.

Of all the foot massagers, this one is the best. The 3 spinners for each foot do a great job getting into my foot and reliving stress. While not as good as my wife's foot massages, they are good enough. After ten minutes my feet were toasty warm and tingly from the constant massage. I just rotated my foot medially or laterally to massage the sides of my feet.

This product is easy to use--tap the power button once to turn it on, again for heat, and a third time to turn it off. I was slightly disappointed, though. I was expecting it to feel exceptionally soothing, but the heads seem to turn too fast. It would have been nice if they had added a speed control. I think it would feel much better moving a little slower.

I work a job where I'm on my feet for a full 8 hrs. and this massager feels great after a long day. You can move your feet around and have every area massaged. You can actually feel the warmth through socks too. After comparing online with reviews and prices of other massagers, I'm very pleased with what I got for the price I paid!

I bought this for my wife for her birthday and she loves it. She really wanted the calf and foot massager but those are too expensive. I decided on this product based on the reviews and I am happy with my decision. She loves it - and so do I.

There are two modes you can use it on - massage or massage+heat.

The foot pads turn red when used in massage+heat mode.

My feet are sensitive and tickle quite easily so it takes me a few minutes to get adjusted to using this every time.

That pretty much sums up the product. Nothing fancy, but does a great job.

I would have given it 5 stars if it had more than two modes, but that is just nit picking. Good stuff.

I am 53 years old and recently purchased a foot massager for the first time because my feet had really started to feel very fatigued and achy, even after only short walks. I compared the description/features of many other foot massagers on the market, and felt that the Sharper Image MSG-F110 Deep Kneading Shiatsu Foot Massager seemed to provide exactly what I needed. Upon delivery, I could not wait to test it out; one day I used it with heat, and another day without heat. I am so glad that I went with this brand/model! Both methods left my feet feeling relaxed and comfortable. It is also a very sturdy unit, with adjustable positioning to help give you the right angle for your feet. The foot-operated controls are great too. I now use this massager three times a week, making my feet feel pampered and capable of carrying me throughout my week. Highly recommend.

I've tried both Shiatsu foot massagers. Sharper Image's version has a stronger motor for sure. While the motor can be heard slowing down a little with the weight of two feet, it handles my manly size 15 feet well. Just from listening, I can tell the Homedics motor is straining a bit. I hesitated to put full weight on it as a result. I do prefer using one foot at a time which is even less demanding on the motor.

The massager feels good although I like the feel of the Homedics counter-rotating balls within the outer ring's balls even better. The Sharper Image doesn't use balls, it uses rotating points with a mesh fabric on top of it.

Sharper Image's version looks good in all black and feels solid.

When I can't sleep (or hold still) at night because of restless leg syndrome, the only thing that helps is a deep/hard massage. I bought this massager to leave next to the bed (instead of waking my poor husband up to rub my feet!). It is powerful enough to do the trick. The on/off button is conveniently located so you can turn it on with your foot (and in the dark). The warm setting is an added bonus. It doesn't feel hot at first but slowly heats up to a nice, smoothing warmth. It feels wonderful!

It's also great to use first thing in the morning before you stand up if you have plantar fasciitis (as I do).

I haven't had it that long, but I'm optimistic that it will hold up well because I can press on it hard and even stand on it without hearing the motor strain.

There are a few things that I would adjust if I were the Grand High Poobah... I'd like the footpads with the massaging nubs to be slightly further apart with the toes angled out a bit more. I'd also like the massaging nubs in the middle to protrude higher. I have a high arch and the nubs aren't tall enough to press into it forcefully. But all in all, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I would recommend this product to anyone who loves foot massages. Although a machine could never be as good as getting a foot massage from a person, this foot massager is the best I've come across. It makes your feet tingle afterwards - very relaxing.
