Title: Try before you buy
Review: If you can, find this product at a store before buying. Find a demo unit and try it using what you think would be your natural seating position (for me, I use it at my desk at home). That's because it is easily four inches too narrow. To use it properly you need to squeeze your legs together, which is very unnatural. Even then, I find that my feet can't naturally rest flat on the massage pads (I have to consciously force them to rest flat). Also, the angle of the unit is slightly too flat; five or so degrees of incline would be useful.This unit replaces a Conair foot massager that served me well but died recently. It is lighter than the Conair and MUCH smaller (see above). The Conair offered features not found on the Homedics: variable-speed massaging and independent heat; the Homedics combines heat with massage, it can't be turned on by itself.The Homedics does look cool with its blue and red lighting, but the size (actually, the lack thereof) marks it down
