Foot massager: which one to get?

Has anyone compared the Brookstone iSqueez against the Sharper Image iJoy Ottoman? I am considering one of these as a present for my wife. The silver/black iSqueez looks hideous but if it is markedly better than the brown microsuede iJoy then I'd ignore its appearance. The iJoy also rotates to better accomodate different positions.

Those look like they could very mechanical feeling. I could be wrong, but nothing beats the feel of a massage from another person. How about this? On your computer, print up a coupon booklet where your wife can tear out coupons where YOU offer her a "free foot massage", and other assorted acts of love (wink wink, nudge nudge). Attach the coupon booklet to a gift basket of massage lotions, foot creams, etc. My gf did this for me back when we were dirt poor undergrads (the coupon book, not the lotions and smelly creams). Put the rest of the money towards something else you think she might need. If you're still set on getting one though - get the one that offers the best value for the price. Ignore the looks. It's not something I'd want to keep out in the open for company to see anyway.

Go to Brookstone and try one. They feel really, really good.

Tried them both at the mall. iJoy wins, hands down. It's the shizzle, my nizzle.
Like having your own personal Geisha on a remote.

iSqueez looks like a better design, since it extends up to calf level. What was better about the iJoy?

what the fuck is up with all this iBrand shit? Fucking iPod/iMac. Also I agree that giving her the foot rub is the way to go. I am legendary for my whole body masages that last a couple hours, the girlfriend loves it... and of course, it is a good way to get her/you naked and get her all sex-nuts and retarded strong (perhaps not the last bit)

The isqueez actually hurt a bit, and I like painful massages, but this was too much. The ijoy was very firm but not too much.

All you youngstas who talk about real massages, just wait 'til you're married. The massages stop. There's a reason that masseuses can charge so much -- because it's a lot of WORK to give a massage, and most people don't feel like engaging in labor for someone else's benefit unless they are getting paid to do it. Hence, a mechanical device that can act as a reasonable facsimile thereof is worth the 3 bills.

Check out a company called Tools for Exploration, I recall them having a great one that does Shiatsu or hits the reflexology points under the feet.
