Does this have only tapping? It doesn't have the Shiatsu massage like the brookstone?

it vibrates nicely and it traps and rotate vitration and tapping. Its a good one. Its not a kneading massager but I like it to use once a week it makes me feel good and loosen my muscles on back.

Even on "light" the shiatsu massage is pretty strong. The first time I used it, the bottoms of my feet were a little sore the next morning -- but I've found if I don't press down on my heels when I'm using it, it's perfect. I love my Shiatsu Foot Massager and use it almost nightly.

As far as I know it is the same one. This one does have heat which you can turn on or off. This is my second one and I absolutely love it. I use it morning and night and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Nice deep massage for tense muscles.

It's not a massage machine, it won't massage you for any good, but I would highly recommend this machine for acne use only :)

Jocelyn, I can't answer your question because I sent mine back. If you haven't ordered yet, I'd advise you to look around a little more. I found the machine too hard to hold. There was wild vibration for the hand holding it, while it should be only for the massagee. Good luck! Margaret

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

It has massage areas however their is not a general massage built into the foot rests. The bubbles do provide some stimulation and/or massage.I would say it has but many will not consider this right

Not really. A pressure bladder squeezes the feet to apply pressure, and shiatsu rollers knead the bottoms and sides of the feet. It's the best foot massager we have used. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife, and her and my kids use it multiple times per day. Great product.I would be nervous to get a roller-type massager for the tops of my feet, since they are so sensitive with delicate bones! But no, it doesn't really get the tops, other than the squeeze and release action of the bladder.

In the rollers that move up and down you can adjust the width . This is an awesome massager. But I suggest using a throw blanket over it because the shiatsu is very intense. As it should be.

Percussion is kind of "thumping" but it is gentle. If you press hard with the unit, it is smoother. It is very similar to the massager my Chiropractor uses. This massager has been a great relief for my sciatica and shoulder pain. I highly recommend it.

I have the Body Back Buddy Classic TM Trigger Point Massager and it is identical to the one pictured. Black with both rounded and pointed therapy knobs. Both work well. Sometimes I prefer the rounded and sometimes the pointed. This tool really works for me.

Yes it does. Press the "Lower Back" button. Then, you might have to adjust your position a bit so that it hits the lowest part of your back and rubs it nicely, but all you have to do is push yourself back a bit and then lean forward a bit to get a really nice massage on your lower back.

Yes: 1) regular, 2) lower vibration, and 3) lower vibration with a pulse every second or so- silly setting called "gum massage." I really like mine, and it is a much better deal than the one made by Phillips.

No, it doesn't. It also isn't the entire "hip hop abs" series. I was really disappointed when I got it, but I should have known why it was so cheap. . It has 2 or 3 videos and they kind of just get into full swing from the start-which wasn't ideal for someone who is out of shape and uncoordinated. I would suggest something else if you're anything like me. I need a "how to" and slower start for something new.

It is heavy and clumsy and sometimes hard to position it correctly. Sometimes I turn it off accidentally when reaching back to reposition it. That's why I liked the old toggle switch better than the new touch pad controls. Given these problems, it still works better for me in relieving my hip pain better than any other massager I have tried. I have tried many!

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?
