Review on Cloud Massage Shiatsu Foot Massager Machine with Heat Therapy - Boosts Blood Flow and Circulation, Provides Deep Kneading for Deep Tissue Relief, Ideal for Plantar Fasciitis, Diabetics, and Neuropathy by Debra Decou

Mine arrived damaged and unusable. I didn't know how to pull myself together to go back to Revane. I called the manufacturer and they immediately sent me a new one which was very nice. I am happy with this purchase. It was hard to come by that expensive, but I liked the idea of being able to use it both sitting and lying down. I bought it to improve circulation and reduce the inflammation that remains after knee replacement. Sometimes I don't find it comfortable in the upright position, but in the horizontal position it can be used for both legs and calves. The massage pressure can be VERY strong even at the lowest settings, especially if your feet are not perfectly positioned. Definitely don't start with the default settings if you have trigger point issues or sensitive skin - it can cause itching and pain. I suggested they add a "no pressure" option and they said this is in development for the future. Until then, I would recommend wearing leggings and thick socks to soften the blow a bit until you get used to it. Keep children away from this thing. This is a heavy unit. I hope that means it goes on. The downside is that it's not very portable and you have to be careful not to use the adjustment bar as a handle. Customer service told me this could cause the rod lock pin to fall out. In the horizontal position, you want it to face one way for the legs and the other way for the legs, since there is an edge for the toe. This can be difficult with the location of the power plug. I'm afraid of bending the cable. Probably the best way to use this device is to find a place where you don't have to put it away every time and where you can use it comfortably both horizontally and upright. One strange thing I've noticed is that as soon as I put my feet up with the heating on, I get very sleepy. I don't know if it's related to shiatsu or just because it's relaxing, but I would vote for using it right before bed. If you don't need a lightweight, small portable massager and you love deep tissue massage, I recommend this one without hesitation. Nice car, great service.
