Sharper Image Heated Foot Massager

Product Information

Sometimes you might want a little soaking action along with your foot massage, and on those days, the Ivation Foot Spa Massager has you covered. This foot spa has built-in massage rollers in the bottom of the tub, allowing you to work your feet while they soak in warm water. What’s the secret of this massager? We couldn’t put our finger on just one thing throughout our testing, but we can say this: the device is simplistic, convenient, and designed to deliver truly targeted deep tissue massage to the exact spots you need it. Because it’s manual, not motorized, you can decide how gently or intensely to use it. Even though it doesn’t heat up, vibrate, or provide any motorized kneading, we couldn’t find one thing we didn’t like about it. It’s Worth Noting The one area we felt this massager could improve is its heating function; while it does keep the water warm, we noticed that it doesn’t really heat the water, and there isn’t an option for increasing the temperature. We think it will work best with already-hot water added to the tub to start.

Most foot massagers can be wiped down or even spot cleaned. Some massagers even come with removable, washable linings. This is great if you plan to use the machine often and want the convenience and ease of keeping it clean. With 3 variable speeds – low, medium and high to choose from, it comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 90 minutes when fully charge.

Outro

While the massage factor was lower (you have to manually massage your own feet using the nodes on the bottom of the spa), in testing, we noticed that this product does have some nice perks: you can turn it on and off with your toe, and buff away calluses and rough skin with the removable pumice stone.

It includes 4 kneading intensities, and the massage modes can be adjusted to move forward or in a reverse direction. Comes with detachable handles to reach several parts of the body by looping your arms through it, so you meant to hold it in place while massaging the tense areas of your body. It comes with a protective pad in case if you need extra material to cover the skin before placing the device. You can choose from any of the three interchangeable massages to target specific parts of your body.To use this massager, just plug it into an outlet, place your clean bare feet on the foot place and press the button on the massager. Instead, you can also use the wireless remote controller to adjust the intensity starting from the lowest to till you get the desired intensity. Sometimes a little kneading and massaging are what our feet need after a long day, and a good foot massager will be well-equipped to relax overworked feet.

Whatever the reason you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for a foot massager that can offer you a relaxing experience — one that doesn’t just get up and walk away. The Sharper Image foot massager is designed for your legs and feet and it works in a number of positions: standing, sitting, and lying down. Our testers found the foot massager comfortable and convenient to use and we loved how it held position and didn’t slide around. If you have been looking for a foot massager that does more than just give you a nice vibrating foot massage, the Sharper Image Foot Massager is the perfect choice. This foot massager offers multiple different modes and features to help you focus on specific areas of your foot and leg and relax sore and achy muscles. The Sharper Image Foot Massager also comes with a massage tool that can be used on your hands and arms or wherever you would like. The Sharper Image Foot Massager is a great choice if you like to enjoy a nice relaxing foot massage and want to target your feet and especially your heels. The “best” foot massager for you is primarily about personal preference, says Gary Feldman, DPM, of The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics, but there are a few things any good foot massager should (and shouldn’t) do. The machine is nice and lightweight, so you can easily move it from place to place, which contributed to its high marks in design.

Some foot massagers—both the traditional ones and the foot bath styles—come with a heating element that warms up your feet, increasing muscle relaxation and circulatory benefits. You should choose these products carefully, however, making sure that you can fully control how hot the massager gets. You should also be mindful of heating elements if you have certain medical conditions. Heating elements help to improve circulation, says Dr. Weiser, but they warn using these for patients with diabetes that their sensation to feel pain—hot or cold—can be severely compromised. It stimulates muscles to give you fast relief from aches, soreness and stiffness and it also promotes blood circulation and relaxes your body. While most foot massagers focus solely on your feet, the Best Choice Products Shiatsu Foot Massager can be used up to your ankles, too. We love the flexibility the long cord provides, plus the ability to customize your massage with pulsing, kneading, and rolling motions. The different massagers can target different reflex points on your feet, and the changing directions feel great against your skin. While foot massagers can’t cure arthritis, they can act as a comfort device and alleviate some of your symptoms, says Dr. Feldman, who notes that many of them can decrease the inflammation associated with arthritis.

Perfect for large feet, this foot massager delivers a perfectly adequate massage, though you will sacrifice the number of settings—it simply turns on and off and delivers (optional) heat. Rather than placing your feet inside a device like other classic foot massager designs on this list, this option allows you to move your feet manually over the rotating nodes to target different areas that may be sore or fatigued, so anyone can use it, no matter their foot size. The vibration option worked well but was less appealing to us than the traditional rolling massage feature. On the foot spa side of things, this massager offers a nice, deep tub that can accommodate all foot sizes, but it doesn’t take up much space. We also noted that this massager was a breeze to set up and use, with intuitive controls and smart storage. We felt relaxed and pampered by the time we were done with this massager, and we liked how it combines a traditional foot massage with a soaking spa element. This helps to supply oxygen and nutrients to damaged, sore, stiff, and tense muscles to promote healing. In testing, we did find this massager’s interface a little confusing at first, but since it comes with a remote, it’s still relatively easy to operate. There’s no heating element on this massager, and it’s fairly large. Foot massager mats are a portable and convenient way to relieve sore muscles. While we did not test this option in the real world, we are very impressed with the eight modes and 19 levels that knead, massage, hit pressure points, and even act as a cupping device. While the mat is designed for your feet and the open-concept design accommodates any foot size, you can also use the massager on other parts of your body. It also weighs less than one pound and rolls up, so it's easy to take on the go.These types of massagers work better for people with tired, achy feet than people with chronic pain conditions since they are more like foot baths with a massaging element than dedicated foot massagers. In other words, if you need targeted therapeutic massage, opt for a traditional foot massager and not a foot spa but if you need to soothe your feet after a long day at work, a foot spa with a little extra massaging action will probably give you what you need. Tip: XFT 320A TENS Machine comes with an Acupuncture Pen. That deviceis an Electric Stimulator Massager for Pain. We found the controls and LED screen interface incredibly easy to use, but the device lost one point since it was on the heavier side compared to other foot spas on the market, weighing 6.7 pounds before adding water. Ivation Foot Spa: We appreciated the number of settings on this product and the deep, relaxing massage it gave, but it never really heated up the way we would have liked (and it’s bulky, making it hard to store).
