The ball and heel (and everything in between) of my left foot was hurting so I went searching for relief. I tried stretches, soaks, and elevation but it persisted after long days. I found this foot massager with compression and built-in heat treatment, and completed my purchase— my shiatsu back massager, also from Snailax was a hit and has been going strong for nearly 2 years now— so I was/am confident in the quality. The massager is comfy, and fit my size 11 men’s, just fine with room to spare. The out-of-the-box settings were a bit too intense for me— it was firm and super ticklish, but like many people, went back to read the manual after the fact. I used the remote control to adjust the pressure intensity and also added heat at that point. Now looking at the device’s buttons it seems intuitive but if in doubt, just read the manual. After dialing in, Wow! It felt amazing, like a real foot-massage. There was rolling and compression with attention moving from toes to heel. It massaged my achilles too, but I did have to remember to position my foot back and not slide them in too deep. After the preset 15 minutes, I was thinking, was that really only 15 mins?! I started another round. I’ve been using it daily for over a week and sometimes multiple times per day. I found I can now comfortably increase the pressure intensity to the middle setting and it’s not too much for me, though my default preference is still the lowest pressure, which again, is good enough. At first I thought a tilt feature would be nice, but this flat design works rather well, with less to fidget with… I guess I forgot that my fit could pivot if needed! I thought the remote control wasn’t needed, but after using the massager, I agree that it’s nice to have a remote control to avoid having to bend forward to make adjustments. The removable inserts are a nice feature for keeping everything clean, though, I typically opt to use the massager with clean feet, in clean socks! But that’s just me… you can wash the inserts to deodorize as needed. Overall, it’s a great foot massager so far that meets my needs and has been effective at relieving my foot pain when all else failed to deliver lasting results. Included remote control uses coin-cell CR2025 battery (included).

I have been using Snailax massagers for years now. I have had such good luck with my first two massagers (including a heating pad for shoulders) over the past five years, that I decided it was time to get some other Snailax products to care for my middle-aged body. I recently purchased this foot massager to help my feet relax at day's end. I have not been disappointed. The massager is large, but not nearly as large as I expected it to be (after all, I have size 14 feet and they fit inside just fine). The heat is nice, though not overwhelming. The pressure was most unexpected--there are three levels, and I keep it set on the lowest level. This is the only level of compression that feels comfortable to me--but then again I have very large feet. Smaller feet might have no problem with a higher level of compression, due to the smaller volume of their feet inside the massager. The compression does help with blood flow, which provides for relaxation and rest. The massaging beads under the feet feel just great too. If anything they could be even more aggressive (but I like deep foot massage--I suspect most people would find them to be an idea level of pressure.) After 20 minutes of a little heat, compression, and massage, my feet say "ahhhhhh" and I'm about ready to head to sleep. As with all other Snailax products, this massager is excellent quality, with a very fine design and build. The remote control adds excellent functionality in a simple size. Though I bought this product for myself, I would think it would make a great gift for a parent or for a loved one who spends a lot of time on his or her feet. I look forward to many restful evenings of sitting down at day's end and letting Snailax restore my feet!

I have plantar fasciitis, and between one job where I sit too much and one job where I stand too much, I've been looking for any way to provide relief to my aching feet. I finally decided to splurge on this (it didn't hurt that my HSA plan paid for it!) and I'm so glad I did. The compression and kneading functions are my favorite - the compression gets VERY tight, but it's not too much for me, and is far less painful than some of the PF massages I've received. I like that the functions switch up periodically as it runs - the kneading switches direction, and the compression turns on and off. I've been using this every day since I received it, and my foot pain in the mornings is significantly decreased. I wear a size 8 shoe, and there is plenty of room inside the pockets for my feet plus more. My son, who wears a size 4, can use it comfortably too and can still feel the compression well. The heat is subtle, until it's NOT, and then it's quite warm. I often opt for no heat, and I enjoy that every function is individually adjustable. I would love it even more if there was a cooling function! There is an auto shut off at 15 minutes which is just about perfect. All in all, I'm very happy with this product. Work well, provides relief, and was reasonably priced. It's decently quiet - I can use it when my family are still asleep, or while we're watching tv. It's a little bulky, but that's to be expected. It's lightweight and easy for me to move between the couch or my office desk.

Helps to relax tired feet. Has a number of functions like rollers, heating, vibration, pressure. The pressure function is surprisingly strong. It inflates a bag which squeezes your feet and helps the rollers drive deep into the bottom of your feet. You really do notice the benefit if your feet are tired. I wish the heat function was stronger. Seems solid and sturdy enough in my month of use. My feet are 11.5-12 UK so my toes feel a bit abandoned by the machine but my size 6 partner has no such issues.

I suffer with tendinitis and I don't know why I hadn't thought of this sooner!! It's fantastic and although it's not a cure, it's definitely a remedy to alleviate pain and inflammation. The massage, like when you have a massage done by a professional, starts off gently, then the intensity builds. I have mine on high on all settings- especially because I love the firm pressure, and it does build up to a full feeling of shiatsu, but you can have light or medium if you prefer.

It’s so ideal to ease tired feet. Three different levels for kneading, vibration and compression. It also heats up but that takes a while and you can only feel it towards the end if the seeing but if you go again immediacy, it definitely heats up. Easy to move around, very light in weight.

I have had the foot massager for almost a month now and it has been used daily by myself and my husband. I love the fact you get a deep kneading sensation on the highest setting as I wanted to have a powerful massage. My husband uses it on medium as his feet are more sensitive. I think its good that you can adapt the level according to preference. I have it placed under the desk so I can use it while working from home. I had not heard of snailax before so I will look out for a neck and shoulder massager next to help the neck pain i get from staring at the computer screen!

I purchased this foot massager as a birthday gift for my mother, who had complained of foot pain after constantly being on her feet all day. This machine has provided immense relief. She now uses it for 20-30 minutes every evening while sitting on the sofa and watching TV, placing it conveniently by her side when not in use. The varying compression levels accommodate her daily foot discomfort and the washable foot sleeves are a nice feature too. For its affordable price, this massager delivers excellent foot pain relief just as needed.
