Product Reviews of Human Touch ijoy Ottoman 3.0 Simultaneous Calf and Foot Massager, Cashew Faux SuedeProduct Review: Fantastic! Summary: 5 Stars
I already owned the iJoy3 massage chair and it works better with an ottoman so you can keep your back in position. I decided to buy the matching Ottoman and it is a perfect match, I don't think the pictures do it justice. As far as a leg and foot massage it is fantastic! It firmly works your feet and legs with three settings and leaves you feeling wonderful. The tilt is infinitely adjustable and lockable. The only negative thing I would say about this unit is that you must lean forward to reach the controls. Some similar units have a remote which would be more convenient.
Product Review: Foot Massager That Doesn't Massage Feet Summary: 1 Stars
This product was a huge disappointment. I bought it for my wife for Christmas, only to find when taking it out of the box and using it for the first time that this "Foot and Calf" massager doesn't actually massage the soles of the feet. I can only chalk this up to deceptive marketing, since Human Touch, the product manufacturer, advertises this product on the website with the tagline "Soothe your soles".
When first using the massager, my wife commented that not only wasn't it doing anything on the bottoms of her feet, but it felt more like it was pinching her ankles than actually rubbing her feet. When I tried it out, it didn't feel much like pinching, but it was barely rubbing the sides of my feet, and doing nothing along the bottoms.
I called Human Touch to confirm if what we were experiencing was normal operation. The customer service person informed me that it was, and that they made no models that massaged the sole of the foot.
Personally, when I think of massaging someone's feet, the first thought that comes to mind is rubbing the soles of the foot, not the sides or ankles. I felt little to no benefit in the areas that the massager did
make contact with the feet. And for the $300+ price tag that this model commands, an ankle massage just wasn't worth it.
To it's credit, I could see the calf massage being quite soothing. However, I'm quite tall (6'8"), and my calves didn't get into the unit to a point where the massaging points made any contact with my calves. Instead, it ended up being more of an Achille's massage.
A 1-star review is generous, in my opinion, for a product that doesn't do what it's name states (or it's marketing implies). I had very high hopes for this product based on the glowing reviews, but in the end, I walked away incredibly dissatisfied with the purchase. It's already been returned.
Product Review: Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome relief Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product b/c I have severe buring on the right inner side of my left ankle, I had surgery on my left ankle to release the tendon back in 2007. I have had many restless nights where I was tossing and turning, getting no sleep. This product has relieved my pain so far, I am sleeping better.. Now understand that the pain is not completely gone but its' next to minimal.. If you suffer from tarsal tunnel syndrome, I say purchase this item.
Product Review: awesome relief Summary: 5 Stars
This product was every thing I hoped it to be. It is a part of my daily routine when ever I have a few extra minutes to relax and believe me when you own this item you will always find those few extra minutes.
