The iJoy Foot Massager
-
Also referred to as the OttoMAN, the iJoy Foot Massager boasts of being "the most advanced robotic technology" when it comes to foot massage. The machine duplicates the hands of a massage therapist providing a 15-minute massage to the foot and calf area. The machine is adjustable to the wants and needs of the consumer with two speeds and the ability to rotate and lock the machine into any position.
Brookstone Foot Massager
-
The OSIM iSqueez Calf and Foot Massager is similar to the iJoy Massager. The Brookstone model massages feet and calves with similar kneading discs designed to duplicate the professional hands of a therapist. This machine offers three different massages with three vibration options. The device can be used in two positions, upright and rolled back.
Brookstone offers another foot and calf massager that is very similar to the iJoy Massager called the OSIM uSqueez. This massager is smaller than the iSqueez, offers the same massage options and provides consumers with the rotate and lock feature offered by the iJoy. -
