The FWM 50 is basically a fine accessory for those who freeze fast on your feet. Whether at your desk, vor'm TV or reading chair, you put his feet in an electrically heated foot warmers, the world will look more cozy. Commendable definitely the removable and washable lining, since we are talking about a foot (!) Warmer. I would imagine that even the cleanest foot could eventually begin ... well, let's say, to become 'stale'. So to wash the inner part sometimes seems to me a reasonable idea.
The FWM 50 is connected by means of a aussteckbaren power supply to the power supply. The operation seems conceivable simple: feet in, press the "heat" for heating and pressing "massage" for massage and off you go. Well, quite as simple as it is unfortunately not, because in contrast to conventional electric blanket (yes, even the Beurer) has here no wired remote control, but has the buttons on the heel of Heizpantoffels use. Especially for the elderly is certainly not the most convenient way to bring the device into motion. In addition, only a single heat stage, whom it is too cold or too warm, who has had bad luck. For me personally it is very pleasant, but it does indeed nothing hot.
So be it: I'm still halfway young so: Feet purely ... and ouch! Suddenly one has pushed his feet against the hard, not very comfortable massage rollers. This is matter of habit, but the exclusive operating in heating mode is considerably impaired by the harsh and at rest rather disturbing massage parts. No matter how you look at it under a bale, a heel, a toe you always have somewhere one of those hard plastic wheels. The separate operation "only heat" is therefore limited to recommend.
But we turn the whole time completely in order to enjoy the actual massage: apart from the noise (sounds about like an electric toothbrush in which paralyzes the power but in the long run quite discreetly), this mode is quite pleasant: the massage heads rotate a stoic order's footbed and together with the heat results in a disconcerting at first, later massage-like feel. As with the heat there is only the option all or nothing: the massage function can be regulated in any way.
CONCLUSION: the FWM 50 is primarily a foot massager with heating function, not vice versa. Both functions are singly switched, which makes only limited sense: the hard massage heads disturb the cozy feet warming and the massage makes no heat somehow also no fun. In combination, the whole is very pleasant, although you have to complain about here, that you can adjust any of the two functions. The operation of the device at the heel of the slipper is not very happy fitted, a wired remote control as heating pad or other foot warmers would have been here probably makes more sense ... on the whole, a good device that in its execution but a little too simplistic and impractical comes along.
