Jai quickly renounced all hydro equipment in which we must put the water, because once they are completed and used heavy to handle for removing water after each user (avoid absolutely to offer this kind dappareils to seniors).
I finally opted for this device Homedics, and I do not regret it because they are delighted. I was able myself to test this device quickly last weekend:
- Lightweight unit, no water to handle
- Camera too big or ugly, so that one can leave at hand in his living room, slid under the chair or coffee table for example.
- Ideal in the evening watching TV for 20 minutes. The unit makes a humming entirely acceptable when it works. At worst it increases a little the sound of the TV.
- Childish Operation: it starts socks, we put her feet on the black areas, and pressing the big center button to switch it on (blue light). Each leg is massaged by 3 rotating shiatsu balls, this is simple and enjoyable. They said he will mount has an automatic shutoff after 20 minutes.
- Infrared Heat Option: If you want more mild heat (VERY nice in the winter, perfect for all those who have circulation problems and frozen feet) is pressed a second time on the large button (red light). In this case the rotating shiatsu silluminent balls in red, and this is very nice apart from being pleasant.
- The intensity of the massage varies somewhat according to the device position, more or less near the chair where you sit.
- Very low consumption: 35 watts maximum, less than half dune traditional bulb
In an ideal world one could imagine that all parameters are adjustable: massage intensity, speed, heat This is not the case, but I have not found it annoying.
For me it is a very good buy. This device may well have been made in China, it seems well built and should last longer.
