For deep tissue massage on the feet, it's the best on the market probably.For the Calves, it's ok, but there's no rollers like with the feet, just squeezing from airbags.

Oh boy does it ever!! I enjoy the fact that it does my calves so well, I work in construction and I am on my feet from 6:00am until around 8:00pm it also works great on my feet. You should enjoy this Product I certainly do. Good luck and happy massaging.

I can understand your frustration with the reviews. If you played on an NFL team this wouldn't be enough machine for you. I does all the things you ask about. But more for the overweight, non exerciser, type 2 diabetes type that wants results but in a moderate exercising way. Also good for elderly since you can hold on, swing legs and go as slow as you want......still getting more than staying seated all day. And the most appealing part to me (age 73), It's small enough to hide quickly if Queen Elizabeth pops in suddenly. You could hide it before answering the door....or behind the door. I have trouble doing daily exercise unless in front of TV. I care for my horse & lots of property to maintain but in the winter it amounts to just a few hours a day. Mild work. This machine makes sure I get in some aerobic walking that helps me stay strong and lose weight.

Before you buy the machine look for information in internet, supposedly works. Now, from personal experience I have a relative who is inflamed legs and the machine will help, also know a lady who told me that I help, for it was to buy it.

Are both machines comfortable for people 6' tall? My husband has a problem finding a machine that will allow his legs to completely straighten out, making him feel like he's squating or crouching slightly throughout his stride.

Yes, I had surgery on my foot so it required me to do calf raises but also be reminded that this stepper is light weight and maybe it depends on your size but I recommend it.

I've found it does very little for the lower body, except maybe some work on the glutes. Great upper body workout though. Since it's generally a lot easier to get a lower body workout (running, walking, biking), this machine complements the rest of my fitness regimen very well.

I love mine yes its effective, only on the feet but it travels up my lower leg muscles.. Lets put it like this , I fell asleep sitting up one evening while i was using it.. Also i love the attachments . it a wonderful foot spa..maybe everyone else didnt like theres i guess they expected one like are at the salons..You have to spend thousands to get that quality but for home use i love mine,

The only issue I can see with this machine is the lack of height adjustment. Someone quite tall with long legs or a really long torso could have issues/not be able to get full benefit from the machine perhaps, otherwise it is a very strong & sturdy machine, I would think it would be good for any body type.

The shiatsu foot massager has two pressure settings - firm and firmer (the second pf which is almost painful to me). This massager does an overall really good massage on my feet including reaching my heel. If you can't find a person to work on your feet I would definitely recommend this shiatsu massager. There is some wiggle room so that if its not quite reaching the area you want you can shift your foot around.

I really did like it too! I bought the Kendall Shiatsu leg massager and have been satisfied with it. A lot of stress was in my calves and it actually helped more!

sorry for delayed reply, I was out of town. It's either foot. and FYI . . it works "ok". If you have big calves like I do, it's hard to maintain the position. Try it.

Hello, I own a very, very old machine but it still works on the same principles. I would say that yes, this machine will give your upper body a great workout, more so than the legs. Use less legs and use only the arms and upper body and you will feel the burn. I think it is a great invention and hard to find for some reason. Good luck on your workouts! LT, USA

I use it for my calves only. I put a towel or cover my calves otherwise it can hurt.

I'm not sure. You might check with Janome to see if they have a knee control that would work with this machine.

This machine works wonderfully on thick toenails. I use it on my husband monthly to keep his toenails in check. I use it in conjunction to his quarterly visits to his Podiatrist. I've been using it now for over one year and have had no negative effects on his nails.

Hi there,This machine takes Olympic weights. I really like this machine. I superset it with calf raises. Really started noticing a difference in the front of my shins pretty quick.
