Daiwa FelicityFoot Massager Machine - Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat and Kneading Motion Helps Relax and Rejuvenate Sore Feet - Can Relieve Pain Associated with Plantar Fasciitis and Neuropathy

I purchased this product to help tired feet. I’m an older woman who runs marathons, teachs zumba, and walks everywhere. Even with good shoes, the feet get tired. I had owned the foot massager from Brookstone for years but it finally quit on me.After extensive research, I bought this product. My favorite part is the air compression. If you want to know what that’s like, grab your foot near your arch and toes and give it a squeeze. Nice, right? In combination with heat and massage (rollers along the bottom of your feet) it’s even better.I’ve read reviews that said this product is too rough or it hurt. I have size 9 feet and I don’t have this problem. If you do, a cushy pair of socks should fix it. I keep a thin pair of socks next to the machine that I put on just before using it. That helps keep dust, pet hair, or anything else that may be sticking to the bottom of your feet out of the machine.One of this product’s selling points is reflexology- the idea that nerves from all over your body end in your feet. The idea is that foot massage will improve your overall health. I haven’t owned this product long enough to speak to that. But I can tell you it makes my feet feel great!

I’m torn. Not sure if I’ll keep it. Great roller action bit it totally crushes your feet in the second lowest setting and really hurts. So all the extra air options are useless and I can’t use auto either. So on one setting it’s ok. My boyfriend likes it too. So just one setting and probably will keep it.. and heat barely is felt if you go a full two 15 minute cycles through at once.

UPDATE one year later:This machine started squeaking horribly and there was no way to contact the company's customer service, so this thing is now junk. There are other similar machines out there that come with protection plans--that might be something to consider because these things aren't being made by big-name companies that are easy to interact with when there's a problem.I bought this for my husband and he loves it. He's using it 3 times a day now. We're trying to see if hitting his reflexology points on his feet will help him with issues like kidney stones.Obviously, the issue with machines like this is how durable they are. I can't attest to that yet, but if it dies prematurely, I will definitely post an update.

Deep tissue massage,(only if you chose) hits all pressure points just right. Tremendous health benefits noticed. The motor is unfortunately showing signs of going out just this last week. I have to admit, I will buy again as soon as possible. Can't live without it. Wish it had a warranty option. Not for sensitive feet people.

I initially loved it, worked great, but less than a year later, the power went weak and you bare fully feel it anymore,

I like the fact that the massager squeezes your feet really well annd provides a really good foot massage. I have tried many and this one s probably the best. The only thing that I dont like is that it doesnt grab the heel. But the price is good and a very good value overall.

I really do like it, a lot! But I also think it’s over priced for what you are getting. Very good quality and performs as promised. Just too pricey.

The unit is easy to operate and set up, didn’t even need to read the instructions. The massage itself is good, but can be way too harsh and aggressive. However, I keep it on the lowest settings and wear thicker socks, which helps a lot.Great for relieving foot pain and tension after long hikes and sports activities.
