We compared two shiatsu foot massagers with heat: the COMFIER Shiatsu Foot Massager and the Snailax Foot Massager with Heat.
What we looked at
Fit and sizing, massage modes, and price.
The verdict
If you want the roomiest design fitting feet up to size 14 with 3 kneading and 3 compression levels, the COMFIER is the pick at £92.99, though it costs £29.00 more. If you would rather pay less for a blend of shiatsu, rolling, heat and full-foot squeeze compression, the Snailax is the value option, at £63.99.
