COMFIER Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat,FSA Eligible,Upgrade Pause Function

Okay so honestly it takes a lot for me to write a review. Either super bad or exceptional. I also make sure I use a product before posting 5 stars "can't wait to try this". How does that help anyone? This foot massager was life changing for me personally. I suffer from sciatic nerve pain and I noticed recently my feet were also being affected. At night they just sort of ached and it was getting increasing worse. Fast forward and I needed to utilize some remaining FSA funds. I started doing some research and found this foot massager. There were many available and most had the same functions, kneeding, heat, vibration and air soft compression. I this brand based on reviews and all I can I say is "wow!" After continued use for 5 straight days each night before bed, my feet no longer ache all night. During the day they feel "more alive". They are starting to feel like they used to! I'm going to order another for my office since I work from home but also go to the office 3 days per week. So far the massager was easy to set up, very user friendly and easy to operate! The settings are high, med and low for each function so the variations are numerous. So far my favorite is high on heat, compression and kneading and low on vibration. I am very use to massagers due to years of back issues so others may need to start with the low settings. I love that the foot insert can be removed and washed. The size is as expected for how it functions. It is light and easily moved to different locations. I highly recommend this foot massager for anyone who has issues or wants to pamper themselves and prevent future issues. You won't be disappointed!

I purchased the Comfier foot massager, delivery and shipping were phenomenal. Same day and not at 10 pm! I was eager to try this to see if it was going to give me the right pressure in the right part of my feet and it has not disappointed yet. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and can barely walk sometimes especially after working at my checkout job. This one has great pressure during compression and the kneading gets deep. I wasn’t expecting much since it’s a machine that will work in only one way. I used the highest compression setting and deepest kneading setting and there were times where it just felt good and other times I would adjust my foot and got a therapeutic dig in all the right spots. The machine will “cycle” the compressions, and decompress every 2-3 minutes. I use this opportunity to adjust my feet so the kneading can work another part of the fascia. After just one use my feet felt incredible. I haven’t tried it on its lowest setting yet, to see if there is a big difference in pressure or not. And I can note that the heat function was hot on the first setting. I just turned that function off. Also, the vibration isn’t anything to write home about, it’s noticeable but did nothing for me or the fascia. Is it perfect like a human foot masseuse? No. But it’s a nice bang for my buck. I only hope I don’t have a mechanical issue 6 months from now. Biggest piece of advice, read the manual, and understand the warranty terms. In lieu of that, I completely recommend this machine for the price.

I received my new Comfier Foot Massager and I'm already loving how comfortable it is at massaging. I decided to purchase a foot massager for my planter's fasciitis, and I hope this product will help reduce the pain. This massager was able to massage my feet and keep me completely relaxed. I recently turned a much more expensive brand, because first it was too painful (on the lowest settings) and it was too noisy. I have a sensitive German Shepherded that freaks out over beeping noises. The last massager that I purchased would not initiate, it would power on but would require you to hit the start button 10 times (beeping every time) before it would start. Within the first few minutes my dog was traumatized. Instead, I decided to purchase this Comfier Foot Massager, primarily for the sound feature. To my pleasant surprise it completely mutes and remains muted after powering off. Wonderful feature for my scaredy cat!!! I also noticed this massager is overall quieter than the more expensive one that I tried. I will say this massager is much more comfortable and not as painful on my feet. I do wish the heat was a bit more heated, but it's not too bad. I love there is a pause feature on this unit and comes in handy when you need a quick break. Overall, it's a keeper for my planter's fasciitis and most importantly PASSED the German Shepherded scaredy cat test.

I was given an opportunity to review this foot massager. I also have Comfier's scalp and hand massagers. Pluses: the unit is just as described on the website. It is small enough to carry two different locations within the house though of course you have to unplug it. I'm actually glad that it requires AC power; I'm becoming wary of products that have lithium-ion batteries as there is usually no way to replace them if they fail, which they often do in these small household products. It is very easy to get my size 10 male feet into it. Knead function: this is the real standout feature of this unit in my mind. I can feel the small rollers massage the sole of my foot from the forefoot to just before the heel begins. Note that there is no activity from the front of the forefoot just before the toes to he toes themselves. The scalp massager also has a kneading function, which I really appreciate. In contrast, the hand massager only compresses and decompresses using air with no kneading. I rarely use it. Air function: this works as expected with both compression and decompression cycles and works on the entire foot except the toes and the heel. It's very nice and some people may prefer this to the knead function, especially if they have plantar fasciitis or joint problems that prevent use of the knead function. Vibration: this provides short pulses of vibration similar to a La-Z-Boy massage chair. It doesn't do much for me. Heat: this works very well. I wish the "high" level were a little warmer. I think the medium setting should be one that is comfortable for continuous use and the high setting warm enough that one might only want to use it for a few minutes before turning it down. I tend to have the heat on high whenever I use the unit. Note that all functions can be used in any desired combination. Although one can bend down and change settings directly, it is very nice having a remote. I would only buy one without remote if it were substantially cheaper. The removable washable sleeves are a real plus, but I always use with socks. The manual is thorough and clear except for a few spelling mistakes such as "cleanig". It could use a thorough proofreading for spelling and style. The medical exemptions are overly cautious and were probably written by a lawyer. The only one I would be concerned about (I'm a physician) would be potential interference with the device such as a pacemaker. It’s probably safe but check with your cardiologist. Common sense should prevail here, e.g., don't use unit if you have broken skin. There is no reason to avoid this unit even if your temperature is above 38°C though you might consider turning off the heat function if you're uncomfortable. Comfier provides good support. My hand massager failed after 11 months and they replaced it. They even covered the shipping costs as far as I can remember. I had forgotten to register my warranty, which is required to extend the warranty from one to three years. That's really important in any device that has lithium ion batteries. If Comfier has another product that I like, I will have no problem buying from them. Minuses: it seems one is dependent on the remote so don't lose it! When I plug in the unit, I get a flashing power light that does not respond to touch. It works perfectly with the remote however. Once it is running, it responds to either to the remote or direct controls although it shuts off early when I control it directly with the unit controls. There seems to be a bug in the unit's software unless there is a setting somewhere that I haven't discovered and wasn't described in the manual.

Just tried out my new foot massager and I love it! It’s the perfect addition to my self care routine. So easy to use! You can operate the digital control panel right from the machine itself, but the remote is such a plus, making it super simple to select your settings and pressure levels without bending over. The massage pressure felt just like someone was massaging my feet by hand. The heat definitely works. The machine does emit a low droning sound, but it will not disrupt you from watching TV or having a conversation. I wear a size 7-1/2 in ladies, so it fit my foot just fine. I loved that it touched practically every area of my foot, from the ball to the heel, during the 15 minute massage. If I could add just one area to improve on would be to add a digital timer to the display with different massage lengths - ie. 10 min, 20 min, 30 min. That aside, this foot massager is a keeper! NOTE: This was 100% covered using my FSA card! I did not have to get reimbursed or submit receipts for it.

I have neuropathy in my feet due to chemo, and my feet are always freezing from lack of circulation so I decided to try this out and I’m very happy that I did. It’s relatively quiet so I don’t know why anybody would say it’s loud but mine is on carpet. Maybe that makes all the difference. I can honestly say that I believe it’s going to help me. Any good feeling is truly better than a little less feeling in my feet. This foot massager feels wonderful and the massage/pressure are more than enough and I have small feet. This item is very easy to use and I find it easier to just use the manual control because the options are detailed. I am sitting up anyway so it’s easier for me to push the option buttons on top of the massager. I would buy this again and I recommend this item. It sure beats massaging my own feet.

I've used it 3 times for the 3 times I felt I needed it that bad. It is not a very good tool. One setting will absolutely mangle your feet. And it seams ypu can't tun it off fast enough! I am a male and not use to keeping my legs closed. This thing will dig into your ankles if you can't. Trying to relax my legs spread apart. I have to trap them together so I don't get welts on my ankles. They edge where they rest needs a lot more padding.

Love this. Can only use gor about 10 minutes, but when my heel pain starts this really telieves the pain

Arrived yesterday and can't stop using it as it's so relaxing for my feet. Hot or cool function. I use the hot, which is warm on feet. All other 3 functions have low, medium and high. I use the low function on all. The kneading is very intense on the sole of my foot and I have slipped in an insole I bought today. I have plantar fasciitis - extreme pain in my heel and arch of my foot. When I stood up, I couldn't put pressure on my heel and had to walk it off. Only having had this machine less than 24 hours, the pain in my heel is so much lessened and I can put pressure on my heel as soon as I stand. Recommend 100%. Easy to operate. Plug in and use. Love this machine.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis badly and I need special insoles, shoes, slippers and regular mild exercise, even though this help I found this machine good. The only complaint I’d make is that it needs to have a rolling item to hit the side of the flattened arch at base of foot, it would of been a 5 star if they just adapted the rollers to hit this painful area too

I found the kneading part of the machine quite painful and turned it off. The heat setting is to hot on the highest so kept it on low.

Air pressure and Kneading are not strong enough. Just an average Foot massager.

Prompt delivery well packed Have used a couple of times hoping to help with very painful planta problem fingers crossed . Very easy to set up and use and very quite
