Customer Reviews of HoMedics FM-CR Foot Pleaser Foot Massager
Customer Review: I really wanted to like this product
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought that some of the features that homedics had included in this foot massager were novel enough to give it a try. My biggest complaint is that it isn't domed enough in the middle to really massage your instep or the center of your foot. Also it really doesn't take very much pressure to slow the motor and hear it strain. The round balls are supposed to be like thumbs massaging your feet. The heat is nice though mild and not really very warming if you are wearing socks as they recommend. Overall, this is not a great product but for the price it isn't a bad product. I have the Dr. Scholl's foot massager which only vibrates your foot on a round plastic dome. While the vibrating is not as interesting as the "thumbs" on this, I still think Dr. Scholl made a higher quality product.Customer Review: Foot Pleaser
Summary: 2 Stars
I've found this product to be very helpful and beneficial in reducing tension and relieving pain. However, it was obvious from day one that this product is manufactured to sub-standard quality and will not stand the test of time. The unit slows down dramatically when applying a little extra pressure and the motor and/or drive mechanism begin to squeal from the strain. I've found that I can only apply the correct amount of pressure with one foot and not both or the unit will come to a standstill. Once again, overall, the product does provide relief but the quality of the product, including the on/off switch needs to be improved dramatically. The ergonomic design of the product could use some re-engineering as well. The angle of the foot massager is not comfortable when sitting down.Customer Review: Great idea - poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item about a month ago from BJs wholesale club. The idea itself is great.. nothing like working from home on your PC while this device works its proverbial magic. The problem however, is in it's lifespan.
The device stopped working the first time after a 2 week period. The lights would still come on, but nothing would move. I returned the item and exchanged it for a new one. Another 2 weeks later and the exact same problem has reoccurred. I'll be taking this device in for a refund this afternoon.
For an issue like this to happen once- I figure I might just be unlucky and try again. Twice within a month? Too much of a coincidence.
Buyer beware. Make sure you keep the receipt.
Customer Review: Not as good as the real thing but a close substitute
Summary: 4 Stars
This product really depends on how sore and sensitive your muscles are. When I first got it I wasn't impressed. Then I tried it last night after being on my feet most of the day and I could barely contain myself as the balls massaged my feet. So its very dependant on how bad your feet need to be worked out. On days when they are fine it will just feel like balls rolling around. On days that you have stressed them it will feel like feathers! The only downside is that you need to be careful with the balls hitting the bones on your feet. I don't have meaty feet and sometimes the balls grind on the bone and that is not pleasant. Overall its one of the best dry foot massagers I've seen on the market and well worth $40.Customer Review: Decent Product
Summary: 3 Stars
You get what you pay for. This thing's not going to grab your feet and do obscene things nor is it feature-laden. Getting certain parts of your feet massaged can be difficult because lacking proper leverage the massager will push your feet around; like when you try to do your heels.
The motor pushing the counter-rotating balls is not very strong and can be easily stopped by the weight of your leg. I'm 6'1, 210lbs. If I put the full weight of my leg through my foot onto the massager, it stops. I'm not talking about pressing, just letting my leg rest so the entire weight focal point is the part of my foot resting on the massager.
It's worth the price but keep an eye out for something better.
