Customer Reviews of HoMedics AK-3 Foot Pro Ultra Luxury Foot Massager
Customer Review: Still the best massager for feet...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a dual purpose item, this will serve you well as a food massager and foot warmer. When I first placed this under my desk, it rattled around a bit and scared my cat, who ran terrified down the hall. But, don't fear...once you place a towel or carpet under the unit, it is fine and very quite. You just hear a gentle hum.
You will be amazed at how light your legs feel after just a few minutes. All the controls can be turned on and off with your toes! That alone is a great feature. This unit has special "Toe-Tap" features. You can turn on the lo/hi vibration intensity button with your big toe of your left foot. The Heat on/off button can be pressed with your right big toe and then the massage on/off button is easy to turn on with your heel. You can also turn the lo/hi and on/off button with your heel
The unit feels warmer when you turn the massage function off and could be used in those cold days of winter when you just don't feel like wearing slippers. Once you turn off the infrared heat function, you will still feel the heat for quite a while.
The massage platform has raised accunodles (raised bumps in the plastic) for the stimulation of the soles of your feet.
The instructions recommend only using this unit for about 15 minutes or less. I found 3 minutes was a good amount of time and produced the desired light leg feeling. This is a unit you use while seated and standing on it can cause damage. They also recommend using the unit with "socked feet" and never with shoes.
The perfect gift for anyone who sits at their desk for most of the day or for those friends who stand all day and just want to come home, sit on the couch and relax.
This unit will fit nicely under your bed (or some couches) or you might just want to keep it permanently under your desk! That is where my "Foot Pro" is going to live.

Customer Review: Great great foot massager
Summary: 5 Stars
Folks,
I have used many many foot massagers for my poor circulation in my ankles. I have to say that this is by far the best I have ever used. For those that gave this product a bad review, they probably have high high high expectations. For the price, these products works consistiently it lasts an average of 6 months then the motor gives out. I'm currently on my 3rd Homedics AK-3, and awaiting order for two more. I have tried other foot massagers, and they are either too rough, or too localized <middle feet> or doesn't make me feel the full effect. The other products have broken down on me less than 6 months, and they were very very expensive <$$$$.$$!!>. I use the AK-3 an average of 30 minutes a day <morning when preparing my ankles for the day <lotion & double socks> & night after work. My technique is that I pressure the left, right back and front of my feet while it's on the vibrator, and it feels absolutely wonderful! The part I absolutely love about this product, is that after a half hour, and I turn the vibrator of, I feel a 'tingling' sensation after I stopped using it as if it was still on the massager! The sensation lasted about 15 minutes after use and feels good, and it tells me that my circulation is moving. The infrared works really well, after about 10-15 minutes, my feet feels really warm, and this is especially great during the winter, when you're outside, and your feet get cold. I love this product, and I will keep buying this product, even if it breaks on me after 6 months, longest ever I used it was probably like 10 months before the motor gave out. For 29.95 via Amazon, I brought 2 to keep me going for at least a year and half! I hope they never ever stop making this specific product, cuz it is PERCECT the way it is! Oh by the way, this product is also light, compared to those other high end vibrators which are heavy and bulky.
Oh happy feet!!!!

Customer Review: The perfect gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this gift for Christmas, and I love it!! I love the fact that you don't need water like the other foot massagers. This is the perfect gift for someone that spends a lot of time on their feet. I also love the fact that I can either massage my feet or just warm them up. I love this product and would recommend to others. This truely is a great gift, I am very satisfied with this product!!Customer Review: Bliss.

A much needed treat for the part of all oue bodies that gets the most hammering! Fits neatly under your computer desk so what massage and warm your toots while browsing at amazon?
It's well worth the investment and it is a health investment since it taps into reflexology principles which aim to treat your entire body. major organs and the works, from the soles of your feet.
