PROS:
-I ran a half marathon last week and this was the most incredible recovery tool!!! My feet, which had been swollen and sore, felt revitalized after a day or two (quick for a post-race run!)
-The knead and air intensity is, well, intense! I’m the type of person who like to be pretty much in pain during a massage, so the fact that I rarely put it on the highest settings for both kneading and air says something good, for sure.
-I love that the cloth footbed cover is removable and washable. So clever, and it makes me confident I can keep this hygienic especially if friends want to use it.
-Set up and use are super easy. Plug into a wall and hit power—it’s good to go!
-I can move it to different rooms in my house easily. It’s bulky but light, if that makes sense.
-You can adjust your feet easily to target the areas you need! For example, after my race, I was able to adjust my feet so it’d target my arches, heels, etc.
A FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT:
-My feet are a woman’s 7.5, and so, while I’m sure larger-footed folks love the roominess of the massager, I wish there was a version specifically for feet my size! The first time I used it, the roominess bothered me; then, I figured out how to position my feet to make it work best for me (not with my heels all the way back)
-The heat feature is amazing, but it takes a solid 10 minutes for it to really get toasty. I’ve remedied this by turning it on and letting it run for 10 minutes before I plan on using it.
-This is nit-picky, but if you want it to run for 30 minutes, a small blue light lights up on the machine. As I’ve incorporated this into my nightly routine, I wish there wasn’t any blue-colored light!
-The sounds level is...fine. There is noise when it’s doing it’s thing. I’ve gotten used to it, but just note it’s by no means silent.
Overall: I highly recommend!
This is the first foot massage machine I’ve owned, but I tried a few others before buying. This machine works just as well as a much more expensive one that I tried in a Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I took a chance on buying this one based on good reviews I read here and based on the lower price, and I’m glad I did. I ended up buying a 2nd machine as a Christmas present for family.
When you turn it on, it defaults to the L low setting. It has heat, air, and shiatsu massage functions. The heat just has the on/off option (it gets pretty warm but not too hot), while the air massage and shiatsu massage options have L low, M medium, and H high options. You can also choose between 15 or 30 minute sessions.
Pro tip: wear thicker socks. The first time I tried this out of the box, I was barefoot and the massage felt bad right away. But as soon as I tried it again with some thick socks on, it made all the difference in the world. I like to use the following settings: 15 minute massage, heat on, L low shiatsu massage, and H high air massage. It’s a perfect relaxing treat after a long day of work, or an invigorating way to start the day! Hope it stands up to use over time (I’ve only had it a few days now, and I’ll update later). This fit my foot (women’s 7.5-8 shoe size), as well as all of my cousins’ feet who are all very tall men (I don’t know their shoe sizes)
For the price, this foot massage machine is a good value!
I have planter fasciitis, and was doomed to wear Crocs for the rest of my life. I saw a review where a woman said she suffered the same thing, and one foot healed and the other was better, so I bought this. I won't lie, my first time using it hurt, second day, even worse, but, after that, just on occasion. I'm seeing great improvement! At this point, I still can't go barefoot, but I can do without shoe inserts (yes, in my crocs, LOL). But, the tendons are softening and the bumps on the tendons are greatly reducing!!! I change the compression from medium to high every other day, but am still on low with the kneading, not sure I could tolerate any more than that at this point. Feels like my toes are being massaged by human hands, feels so good, it takes away greatly from any discomfort. Highly recommend this! Sure wish the cord was longer though.
I love my wood foot roller until I got this electric foot massager. There is an air balloon at the top portion of the device. You can control the pressure on your dorsum by selecting three different intensity of the balloon – low, medium and high. The air balloon press your feet down to the rollers at the bottom, so that you have the real control of the massage effect. I started with low kneed intensity and low air intensity. After a couple of days, I’m using medium level for both settings. Because I felt nothing with the low levels. The air balloon is the key to give you the control of message intensity.
I purchased this foot massager as a present. The recipient and myself are quite satisfied with its performance.
I read many reviews before I bought it and can attest that the massager works as described.
I believe, the only negative comment I've seen is that the heating feature is slow to start. If you only use 15-min option, it barely becomes warm. But I personally do not care too much for it, plus I usually use it for more than 15 minutes and you can feel the heat by then.
I normally use Low setting for Kneading and Medium for Air Pressure. I find Medium setting for kneading a bit too aggressive for my preference. However, the other day it really worked magic for my achy feet.
The machine is also surprisingly light and could be moved around without an effort.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and definitely recommend this product.

I've only had this for a few days, but have used it every day since I received it. I have very sensitive feet, so I wasn't sure if I could tolerate this or not. I also have plantar fasciitis and some days my feet are really tender. I thought I'd give this a try. At first, it's a bit disconcerting when the air pressure kicks in and squeezes your feet, but you do get used to it. It honestly feels like someone is rubbing your feet in a very soothing way. I have high hopes that after a few weeks of using this regularly, my feet will be less sore. I think it's a very well made product and it does exactly what is advertised. I like that I can control the intensity of the massage, air pressure, and the duration. The less expensive massagers didn't offer that and those were all important features for me. I think this was worth the money. To me, its worth it to pay a bit more for something of decent quality that will last a long time. So far, so good!
Bought this for my 80 year old mom, she said it hurt (she has dementia so it probably wasn't a good gift for her as she didn't know what it was and had trouble lifting her feet in to it), so I got to keep it. Everyone in my house loves it! The low settings are too low for me, it doesn't hurt at all on the low settings, not sure what mom was talking about as the low settings are super low. When both the massager and air are on high, it hurts a little, so I put mine on high air and medium roll and it's amazing! I love it and it's easily big enough for my husband's feet too - he likes full high on both. My 10 year old like medium on both. Great little machine, gets your ankles and the bottom of your feet for the massage part, air gets the whole foot!
I am literally writing this review while I’m having a “professional “ foot massage with this amazing life changing foot massager!! Omg 🥰 it feels so good on my sore feet! I bought this as a gift for my husband because he has horrible foot problems one being planter fasciitis. It literally has changed his life! He has been using it after work everyday and his feet have never felt better. We were extremely impressed with this foot massager, it is just like getting a real massage it’s not what most massagers are which is nothing more then vibrating. This thing has compression, and rolling balls that kneed in different size & different directions and heat. It has several settings of intensity for the massaging and compression. It’s quiet and super easy to use. I would recommend this to anybody it is well worth the money. I consider it a cheap investment towards better quality of life!
Because of my job I am on my feet 8 hours a day, at night I was exhausted specially pain in my feet was annoying, when I bought a foot massager I rescued!! The massager use heat, vibration, air pressure, and Shiatsu-balls to gently relax tired feet. In 15 minutes no more pain and tiredness!! A good point is adjustable pressure and time, that can customize the massager.
This massager is definitely my best purchase this year! You can customize your own massage under your preference. What I like most about it is the heating function, making the massage more relaxing and complete. I wear heels at work everyday, this massager becomes my life saver after work. So if you’re a high heel girl, this one should definitely be in your cart to treat yourself after a day on heels.
