This foot massager has becomes a part of my daily routine! It’s a relaxing way to end the day. I’ve used this every day for about two weeks now. Here are some things to note:
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.
