Unpacked you get still a positive impression of the device as the housing visually understated and beautiful looks is very well made and the unit is not so light that it seems cheap, but not so heavy that it is unwieldy.
Since the device has only one button, the operation is also very easy: Press once activates the massage balls. Press twice in addition turns on the infrared lamps. A third time the appliance switches off completely.
In use, however, disappointed that a little foot massage. My mother is a little ticklish on your feet, it takes a little firstonce overcoming feet on the respective 8 rotating balls to leave. Is this hurdle firstonce survived, the massage effect is unfortunately a little off. Although it is quite a pleasant feeling, but a proper foot massage does not replace the device. In order to achieve an effect that can be described as rudimentary massage, you would have to exert a lot of pressure relative to the device, which after a few minutes, however, the leg muscles is claimed and decreases the rotational speed of the massage balls.
The infrared lamps emit a low heat of which can be perceived as pleasant certainly, but here should not be expected to produce the same effect as a real infrared radiators.
After a few weeks now in daily use, the machine still works flawlessly and their statement according to my mother doing this gentle massage after work pretty good. For the price acceptable performance, but a real massage by the partner is thus no substitute. ;)
