[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster for free in exchange for my review.
I love this massager and appreciate how small and versatile it is. The fabric and foam and soft and plush which make it great for a simple foot massage or even using it as a lumbar pillow. I personally prefer using it as a foot massager since it gets into your feet and it keeps them warm.
The massager only has one setting which is the only downside. The other downside is that it because of how small it is, it is hard to use on your shoulders for a back massage. But if you prefer a lower back massage, this works perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now this massager won’t perform miracles, but it is nice to come home to after a hard day. The top part you put your feet into is like those little foam bead pillows that were popular in the early 00s. Then at the bottom there’s rotating things that you put your foot on top of. This massager isn’t the kneading kind. You can also unzip the top bead foam part and rest your back on for a back massage.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the multi functionality of this product. The massage function itself it super strong- much stronger than I anticipated (in a good way). Super convenient after a long day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So my experience with this device left me with mixed feelings. While it has its merits, there were a few issues that made it fall short for both me and my husband.
One of the significant drawbacks for me was the impact on my Morton's neuroma. Unfortunately, using this device seemed to flare it up, which was quite unexpected. Despite having used massaging foot spas without any problems, the design of the massagers in this device didn't agree with my foot condition. The spacing made it challenging to find a comfortable position – if I tried to avoid massaging the ball of my foot, I found myself having my heel massaged instead. The massaging heads, being both hard and narrow, made this experience less than pleasant.
My husband, an avid runner with no foot issues, also felt that the massagers weren't optimally located. They seemed to miss the spots he wanted to target, leaving him somewhat disappointed. On a positive note, we both found the heat feature to be a nice touch, and being able to remove the top for back massage was definitely the highlight of the device. The process of taking off and putting back the top was incredibly easy.
In terms of the massaging experience, I wished for more settings. The current options felt limited, and a bit more variety would have been appreciated. On a brighter side, the soft microbead-filled top was comfortable and accommodated both my smaller feet and my husband's larger ones.
Overall, I think that more thoughtful consideration to the design of the massager heads could make the product much better. Despite having a few good things going for it, it fell short in addressing specific issues for both someone with foot conditions like mine and someone with no foot problems like my husband. If they tweak the design a bit, it could really step up the whole experience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The massager is made up of 2 parts. The top part has soft beads and is similar to a travel pillow. You insert your feet, turn the heat on and it is supposed to keep your feet warm. The heat was almost non-existent. You can barely, barely feel the warmth. The bottom part is made up of hard balls that rotate to massage the feet with 2 speed levels. However I had to move my feet around to ensure that all of my feet got massaged. I was disappointed as I was expecting more and am not sure how often I would use this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG I love it so much. When I got it I did not think it work well for me. But how cool I love it for the first time. I walk, stand 8 hours a day and it really help my feet for a long day. For my back it help too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complementary 3 in . 1 shiatsu foot and back.massger from influester.. This is amazing. Multi use and easy to use. Perfect for anyone especillay those on.tbeir feet all.day . Noting beats coming home and relaxingwhile tending to my sore feet and hivi.g some tlc to my back.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best foot massager in my opinion. I like a lot of pressure and this was minimal at best. Also, the concept sounds nice with sticking your feet into it but it gets HOT and sweaty.
