RENPHO Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat, Feet Massager for Neuropathy Plantar Fasciitis Relief, FSA Eligible, 3 Heat Levels Foot Massage with Wireless Control, Birthday Gifts for Women Men, Size 13

Reviewing 'RENPHO Foot Massager with Heat'I've had this foot massager for a few years now and use it regularly (at least couple times monthly). I am impressed for these reasons: (1) it continues to operate flawlessly (over the course of 3 years), (2) it's not wimpy....massage pressure is adjustable with top pressure being a bit too much for me, so I typically keep it on medium, if you have delicate feet, you'll want lowest setting, (3) time duration settings are either 15mins or 30mins (I use 30 mins, sometimes twice), (4) my feet and legs feel invigorated after use, so good for blood flow to extremities (reduces puffiness in my ankles/feet), (5) bulky but surprisingly light weight, simple to carry. I don’t use the useless remote so review does not include its performance.Cons: (1) pricey, but worth it (bought black friday in 2021 $140); (2) bulky in a hard plastic casing, so it doesn't fold down for storage (I store it in my garage); can vacuum out foot pockets if you have flakey foot skin like I do.If you really want to treat your yourself, follow using a wet heated foot spa (ooo-la-la). Never tried it, but I imagine you could also use for hands.One of my personal care favorites !!

I actually wanted to get one of the products with the slots for your feet (like Cloud Massage) because I wanted to be able to do my calves and feet. But the weight of the ones with heat turned me against those and the cost was generally higher. This product is very light. I'm a weak little lady so I like light. Also it's more affordable. I chose Renpho after a lot of research on the reviews and YouTube videos. I had actually decided on another product but it had 16 reviews that said it either didn't work or stopped working within a short time. No thank you!I had never used a foot massager before and I didn't know what to expect. Here are some of my ideas and suggestions.1. People complained about not enough or no heat. It does take a while to heat up but it's there. It's not high heat probably because they don't to be sued for setting people's feet on fire. But I put my hand in after my first use and definitely felt it inside both slots.2. This may sound odd but I found that tying my knees together with a bathrobe tie kept my legs and feet at a good angle to get the full beneift of the massage. Otherwise you knees will have a tendency to fall outwards and pull your feet up and outward .3. People complained about pain. My second go round did produce some mild pain on the outside of my left foot but it went away after a minute or two. It was probably due to some tenderness from my first go round. Once your feet know what's coming and have adjusted to all that movement it really feels good.4. Yes it does feel like hands massaging your feet which was my number one hope.5. The remote works fine but it's really not necessary. If you can't bend over a little to push the power button (which sets everything going on the low level (including heat) then you're kind of lazy. But it's nice to have it since it's there. And, like I said just pressing "power" engages all the buttons on the low level which I like the best.6. I suggest wearing socks. I have a size 8 foot and it felt fine barefoot but with socks it softens the edges. I know some people wanted their feet beat up while they're in there but I enjoy a softer rub down but I still know my feet got a work out when it's over.7. The cord is not long but it's not terribly short either. I use the massager in my bedroom next to an outlet in a nice rocking chair and I turn it on and read while it's going.So in summary my experience so far has been very pleasing and it has fulfilled all the promises. I've had it about a week. Now if it conks out on me I'll jump back on this site and let you know but so far so good.

The media could not be loaded. This massager is well-made and easy to use. The shiatsu rollers and air compression really loosen and soothe the muscles in my feet at the end of the day. I didn't give it five stars because I have to sit forward in my recliner with my legs at 90° to feel the full pressure of the massager, and the heat takes a long time to warm up and only gets to a mild level. It's not perfect, but it is a great value.

I have plantar fasciitis and it really helps on the days when my feet are just absolutely smoked. The heating function will take a moment to warm up and that is for safety. But this has been a great aid in helping my feet heal. It is not very loud and also not very heavy. It's worth every penny in my opinion.

My husband loves it! He falls asleep every time he uses it....it is very relaxing to him and it helps with circulation.

I work in retail so I have to stand constantly for 4 - 8 hrs straight. This can cause major pain for my feet even with the anti fatigue floor mats the store provides. I decided to invest in a good quality foot massager to use after I get home in the evenings. I saw a video & written review online for this product and decided to give it a shot. I’m glad I did. This RENPHO massager really hits the spot (Literally!) It adds just enough pressure to my feet to relieve any lingering pain from a long work shift. The worst my feet feel the better the pain relief. My feet sometimes feel lighter after I finish using it as if I just left the Spa. However, I do recommend not using it for extended periods of time. I personally never go over 30 mins in a single session. This massager is quite strong and while it feels good you can over do it if you’re not careful. The massager has nearly 10 functions. Six for knead & air intensity. Two for time & one for heat. I paid extra for a remote but there is a version that only uses the panel controls. I’m not sure why you’d purchase that version unless you just need to save money. I recommend including a remote since you’re probably not going to feel like having to bend over every time you want to adjust your massage. That way you can just lay back and enjoy without the extra effort.

Bought this in 2021, and use it from time to time, but not regularly. The knead intensity button stopped working and the remote also doesn’t work (changed batteries). Other than that it’s pretty good. But I need to buy a new one now because I can’t increase the intensity anymore. 4 years is a pretty good amount of time though. 3 stars, because it’s ok, not the best, but also because it stopped working when I need it.
