Try before you buy

A few years ago, OSIM released their iSqueez foot massager and was promoting them heavily at major shopping centers in Malaysia. They were offering no obligation free try and even have units all around the shopping center unattended for all to use. My wife tried it a few times while shopping and was so impressed she couldn't resist not getting one and did after contemplating for sometime. Interestingly, the unit we bought did not seem to be that fantastic. My wife complaints that it is not as nice nor as relaxing as those at the shopping center! Worst of all, Harvey Norman were selling them for less and OSIM were reducing the price so quickly it makes you feel you as though you have just spent a fair bit of money on a piece of invisible cloth! I don't think We have settle the credit card payment when my wife stops using it!

After thinking about the whole experience for sometime my wife one day asked if I know why the unit at the shopping center felt so much better. And this is what she said. After all the walking at the shopping center you feet would be so tired that they will feels so good with the massager. Your feet would normally not be so tired to experience the same when you are at home. Unless, I suppose, if you had just done some walking around!

It seems that you can still get a burnt finger even after you have try before you buy. Review or recommendation by other users may be more valuable. Condition of display item may review more about the product as well. When reading recommendation from the web, do take note that some of these comments may be given by friends.
