My Feet Are So Happy They Want To Go Back For More, More, More
I looked at this foot massager and then again and again. I'm not one to buy gimmick products, so I wasn't sure. I kept reading about the deep kneading foot action and relaxing it was, so I finally decided to order the massager. I hoped it was as good as it sounded.<br /><br />Hallelujah. I really love this machine. It's super easy to use, and my feet are still tingling (in a good way) after 10 minutes and a little TV.<br /><br />This is ready out of the box. You just get the power cord out and plug it in the side of the foot massager and then into a socket. There is a booklet, but I don't think I really needed it. All the buttons were labeled. There are two auto modes which may not be as obvious just looking.<br /><br />There is a setting for time, and they recommend not over 10 minutes to start with and a max of 30 minutes. I am doing 10 minutes right now, since it's hard to squeeze in &quot;me&quot; time. The Shiatsu is Japanese and is a type of deep tissue massage. I love that. There is air pressure as well so that the Shiatsu is stronger with the air expansion and not as strong as it cycles. There is a setting for heat, but this is summer in NC, so I have not used the heat button. The pamphlet does say it may 10 minutes or so to warm up. The center button will shut the machine off if you set it too high for comfort or need to get up to do something.<br /><br />I wish they had a full body model or at least one for the back and legs. The massage feels wonderful on my feet. You may notice the big scar on my leg which is a skin graft. While you aren't supposed to use the massager if you have a foot injury, my injury was higher and healed now. The massaging does make my leg feel better too. That was just a bonus for me.<br /><br />I wear socks in my Shiatsu machine, but the foot parts come out with zippers and can be washed. I figure I'll not need to wash the feet parts (which fit women size 14 and men to size 12) very often with putting on clean socks right before using.<br /><br />I did get a discount on the Shiatsu Deep Kneading Foot Massager in exchange for an honest review which is the only kind I write. I took quite a while to make the leap and get the massager, and now I'm wondering why I didn't get it straight away. It is a great luxury item to use at home especially after a long day at work.
