Foot and Ankle Massage Device Review: We Tested American Comfort's Device

What does a person want when they come home after a long day of work? To stretch out on the couch, relieve their bones, and give themselves a foot massage. That means not doing it themselves or relying on others. Almost two years ago, we tested the "Chifushit" - American Comfort's foot massage device. It was a great and relaxing product that fulfilled those desires precisely. Now, the company has released an upgraded device - the Touch SL-C805, which massages not only the feet but also the ankles.

The massage of the device is performed using air pressure cushions that cover the entire feet and ankles. Rollers operate on the sole of the foot to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Foot massage assists in alleviating pain throughout the day, energizes the blood, and provides a pleasant sensation. The device features a heating function that enhances the massage's effect and contributes to effective relief of muscle pain or fatigue in the feet. It has a full massage range from the toes to the ankles, from the arch of the foot to the sole. The device simultaneously massages the feet and ankles, although it can be individually adjusted to focus solely on the ankle area or detach and store the upper part of the massager. The entire device is operated using touch buttons (TOUCH).

Inner cover for the soles of the feet with a zipper, removable and washable. Heating function. 3 manual massage functions (simulating human hand touch) with air pressure-operated massage pillows with 3 massage intensities. 4 automatic massage techniques: rubbing, soothing, comfort, design. 15-minute massage and automatic stop afterwards. Now on sale for 1,490 shekels (instead of the regular price of 2,237 shekels).

So what did we think?

This is a very powerful device, which represents both its great advantage and its prominent disadvantage. The advantage is that it definitely provides a superior massage experience. Like other massage products from American Comfort (especially the wonderful chairs), here too you can guarantee that you will feel genuine work being done on your feet. However, there is also a problem - sometimes the work is too "genuine". The massager can be slightly aggressive even at the most delicate level. Overall, I liked the device, but my wife is satisfied with just massaging the soles of her feet and doesn't dare to use the paddles. I, on the other hand, strangely thought the opposite - I was somewhat discouraged by the foot massage, but I had no problem with the paddles at all. Who is the device intended for? For those who particularly enjoy strong massages. Available at American Comfort stores and website.
