Chatsworth, CA, March 22, 2009 – SANYO Fisher Company, a division of SANYO North America Corporation, a leader in consumer electronics, demonstrates the relaxing benefits of a spa-worthy Zero Gravity Foot Massager, model HER-FA500W, for convenient home use. The foot massager will be shown at the International Home and Housewares Show Booth #L12127, March 22-24 in Chicago. The HER-FA500W is available immediately at an MSRP of $699.99 at select retail stores nationwide in the US.
“SANYO has been a leader in massage chairs in the U.S. since 2005, and realizes that consumers also want the portability, comfort and benefits of a foot massager they can use in their own homes,” said Richard Miller, VP and General Manager, Consumer Products Group, SANYO Fisher Company. “Our foot massager is the only one on the market that incorporates zero gravity positioning for an optimum massage.”
The HER-FA500W features smooth and automatic rotation for versatility allowing the foot massager to be enjoyed whether from being seated in a chair, on a stool, or lying down. The massager will adjust to maintain the optimum 110° angle between the feet and calves. In this Zero Gravity position, the muscles remain relaxed and in the proper position for an effective lower leg massage.
3-D Sole Shiatsu technology is unique to the SANYO foot massager. Shiatsu nodes raise and lower to vertically penetrate the bottoms of the feet, while floating front to rear in a rolling motion. Airbags firmly maneuver left and right to continually reposition the feet, ensuring greater sole coverage. This 3-D Shiatsu motion provides a powerful massage and is adjustable in strength.
A combination of 22 large and small airbags inflate independently and rhythmically to apply a firm massage to fatigued legs. A sole warmer provides penetrating heat for additional comfort and improved circulation.
For easy operation, the massager comes with a built-in control panel and wireless remote, so the controls are always within reach. A quick course and feet or calf-focused automatic programs are pre-set or the unit can be operated manually to the users’ preference.
