The best foot massagers for comfort at home

A foot massager is a small everyday comfort that many people genuinely look forward to. Here is what to weigh up, and the RENPHO models worth a look.

Comfort, not treatment

A foot massager is a relaxation and comfort product. It is not a medical device and it is not a treatment for any condition. If you have a health concern about your feet or circulation, speak to a professional first.

What to consider

  • Whether you want feet only, or feet and calves together.
  • Warmth, which many people find adds to the sense of relaxation.
  • How easy the controls are to reach and understand.
  • Size and weight, since a larger unit needs floor space and is harder to move.

Worth considering

For a straightforward foot massager that is easy to use at home, the RENPHO Solheel is a well regarded starting point. If you would like a deeper experience that also covers the calves, the RENPHO Shiatsu Foot Massager Pro 2 is a step up, with warmth and adjustable settings, though it costs more and takes up more room.
