Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat Therapy for Relaxation and Stress Relief

Pam C.: After being on my feet all day it feels great to have this massager waiting for me when I get home. The rollers on the bottom of my feet feel real good. The only thing I would change is a little less pressure on the heal and Achilles tendon. That hurts even on the second setting where I use it.

Shawna : There is not too much to dislike of this product. At first when it compressed and grabbed my foot scared the life out of me. That was just my first try though and I didn't get too long with it as was busy. Then last night I took my time with it. It was so amazing I felt so sleepy and tired soon after. I was feeling so relaxed. I went to bed extra early last night. I own the snailax massage mat for my bad back as well. I turned it on but fell asleep before it ever did finish it's cycle. Highly recommend this or any of their products to anyone!

Amazon Customer: Overall I have been very pleased with my purchase. A few comments that I do have is that I would have liked for it to heat up a bit more. It's is pleasantly warm but I would have preferred having the option for a higher heat. The unit runs for 15 minutes and then auto shuts off. This is great as it means I don't lose track of time, but the required 15 minute cool down before being able to use it again was a bit of a disappointment as I would have preferred 20-30 minutes as a session time. As to comfort, I have used all 3 modes and definitely prefer the 3rd intensity setting. The only slightly uncomfortable massage is the one that presses into the side of the rear of your foot just above the heel (pressing in on the Talus?), that is strong even on the lowest setting. But perhaps it is part of the Shiatsu massage method to press harder on that spot.

save_marla: It arrived broken and I have to pay to send it back!!

(update: to send this broken item back, it costs $80 via ups, $120 through canada post and $40 if sent through regular post which means it may take a month to get there! So don’t wait and do it immediately with time to spare, or else, do not buy in the first place)

It was packaged well but it has a power connection issue and will not turn on unless one wiggles the cable for a good five minutes and every time the machine gets accidentally moved a tiny bit, it turns off again!
Of course, I decided to send it back (I never send items back). For 150$ one expects a product that's been tested.
Now I found out that I have to pay for the return!! I'm fuming.

For the times it did work (a few minutes at a time between constantly loosing power), it barely massaged the feet, but instead squeezed the heel so hard it hurt! over and over again and instead of massaging the feet the aircompressor inflates and deflates balloons over and over again making that awful sound and doing nothing. What a joke. Total let down!

I wish reviews would have been honest and said it doesn't actually massage...

Chris G: I bought this as a Christmas gift for a dear friend who suffers with neuropathy. Prior to the Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager, she was using the high tech roll a tennis ball with the foot method. Needless to say, she LOVES the massager. She let me do a test drive and it is fantastic. It massages the entire foot from your heel to your toes. As it states it has 3 intensity levels. She’s up to using the second strength level and occasionally will bump it up to the third level. She told me that it “hurts so good”. She’s using it 3 times a day and she said her feet haven’t felt this good in a long time. I contacted the seller with a question, and they were VERY QUICK with a reply to my question. The product is a winner and it’s good to know that the customer service is great too.

Jennifer Bailey: I’ve never had a foot massager before. I was used to traveling to NYC and getting foot massages while I was there. Since that won’t be happening for a while, I looked into alternatives. This machine caught my attention because it seemed to have the more ways of massaging than other machines and because it had the best looking design.. It looks as good in person as it does in their pictures. Better yet, it’s massages feel very similar to a human one. The pictures in the listing are what it it does. There are three different programs to choose from, and I like all three. You can change the intensity. I like mine intense, and my husband is more in the medium range. Both of us were happy with the options. The machine has a heat option. It get warm but not overly hot. I also appreciated that the company was proactive in its communication.

Ryder : This shiatsu machine is amazing in helping with plantar fasciitis. I bought it for myself to help me with my pain, but my boyfriend tried it and really enjoys the massage he gets after gym. I highly recommend if you want to relax or are suffering from any type of foot issues

Brig: This foot massager is absolutely amazing!! I tried two different brands and sent them back before I found this one. I have high arches and at first I couldnt feel the massager on them but after only about two weeks it feels like my arches are coming down! It's the greatest feeling ever!! Now I feel the rollers on my arch! And I didnt even know before but my feet were numb, and I swear to goodness I can feel everything...and it feels goooood lol. I can come home from a day of work and cook supper in ease and comfort and its incredible. Being pain free makes it so much easier to be happy and fun in life! I actually enjoy cooking rather then racing through it just so I can rest my feet. This machine is just amazing. I wish I could send all my friends and family one, I think we truly underestimate what we put our feet through!!

__ceeceeH__ceeceeH: The foot massager was a luxury at home item that I should have gotten long ago! Since we cannot go for any spa or massages these days to be safe, I really needed the reflexology type relief on the foot as I’m a runner and on my feet a lot

The onset of the foot placement is with a nice and soft cloth cover and the warm function was fun to have on a cool day, I didn’t use it al the time. The three settings were good but my favorite is the orange setting that gives the most pressure. I’m a size 6.5 women shoes but with adjustment on the placement on my foot, it hits the pressure points very well, especially around the ankle and heel areas. I do enjoy and can withstand the pressure and pain but there is a significant feeling of relief after using it with two back to back sessions of about 30 mins

The plug in was also long enough to not need an extension cord and can find a comfortable seat . I did have to shift my body and slide down a bit to have a comfortable bend of my knee, but I can also push off the machine to find a comfortable posture.

It’s easy to clean, I just stick the vacuum head inside the foot placement area and get any...

Lowell08Lowell08: This works amazing! A friend of mine recommended this product to me because she knew i walk a lot everyday. I usually massage my own feet at night and it's quite tiring doing that. By the time it was delivered i used it right away and was amazed how comfortable and relaxing it is. Been using it for straight five days already and i have observed that it gives me a good sleep. It's well built and very simple to use with 3 modes settings very easy to adjust according to the strength you like (i prefer mode 2). I also like the compression feature. It definitely provides relief! I reminisce the times when i hire someone to massage my feet in our country, the same feeling i have with this machine. Highly recommended!
