It has a definite massage sensation, you can feel it circulating across the soles of your feet. I couldn’t however feel the heated element. It was very quiet but fairly heavy. Overall it did provide a relaxing foot massage.

This is a good tool to have. It's it strong and quite to use. Your feet fit nicely on it and it works well to relieve tired feet after work. It works well. It's not to big or heavy so can be move easily to where you want it.

Great for tired feet or to just help you relax. The unit is small and compact for easy storage. It's very simple to use. It has feet underneath to adjust the angle of the machine to suit your comfort. It has 1 button to turn on, which starts the massager and also 1 button to activate the heat, so there's no complication with messing with settings. After I got over the original ticklish feeling, when first using it, it was actually very relaxing. I have used this each night after a long day at work, and it has both soothed my feet and relaxed me.
