I got on chat with a representative and asked if it did "kneading" massage, they said yes.  It does NOT.  It is vibrate only.  Had I known I would not have purchased.  Cost $50 to ship back.  It also would not sit up right.  It would fold up to the sitting position but would fall back to reclining.  So you really didn't have a choice.  

Pros: The foot rest vibrates also. 
Cons: Does not do kneading massage, only vibrates.  Would not stay in the upright position.
