Review on Relax and Rejuvenate with the Foot Bath Spa Massager - Heat, Bubbles, Digital Temperature Control, & More! by Donna Taflinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than others, but with its own characteristics

In general I like it. And I will use it. It's saying a lot because I use these things once and then give them away because they didn't work for me. It helps. And I will use it. But there are some things I really don't like, so I'll start with this list: CONS: - It's HUGE. When I first took it out, my husband remarked that he thought it was a bread maker. YUP! This is what she looks like, a baker. He is tall. Its flanks are VERY high. And the edges are plastic and hard. So unless you're sitting straight like you're sitting on a dining room chair, it's not very comfortable. I use it while sitting on the couch but it leaves marks on my calves. I think I'll let the pool noodles slide around the edges to give a cushion because I'd rather use them while relaxing and watching TV than sitting upright in a regular chair. Although I like this because of the high walls, my feet and ankles can be completely submerged in the water. The cable is not very long. The plug is three-pronged, a normal extension cord will not work. As an extension cord, you must use an extension cord. I can buy a 3 pin adapter, they're cheap, I just don't have them yet. There is a lid that barely works. You must install it exactly like that, otherwise it will fall in. It does not lock to prevent shedding during movement. And you can't use a lid if you also use a pen. - The bubbler is a complete waste. It bubbles, but I don't feel a single bubble - it's more like it's aerating the water than a bubbler in a hot tub, which has a comfortable power. It doesn't stand out except that it's LOUD. That's why I don't use it. The massagers are amazing, but they have so much power (a good thing) that you can't just relax and put your feet on them. You push your feet toward the edges of the tub. I wish there was a way to buckle my leg so I don't have to hold it down and fight the force trying to move my legs. - The heater is located roughly where the right big toe is and it can be HOT there. So be careful when using the massagers as your foot can get there. - The heating is also only in degrees Celsius. I haven't found a way to change this to Fahrenheit. There is a round door at the top that serves no purpose. According to the instructions, it is a manicure set. But then you need a round manicure set to fit in there. So it's kind of a waste. The door is optional, you can put anything on it. A pumice stone is attached to the middle floor. It's just over half a dollar. Not very large. And it's in a very awkward place. Because half of the upper is covered, you can't flex your foot to rub your heel against the stone, but you can rub the ball of your foot against it. I found it too small to be useful. WHAT I LOVE: - It's deep and tall, I have a size 11 women's foot, and it has LOTS of room. Male 14, probably even fit! Maybe even more of a leg. - It keeps the water warm or hot depending on how you like it. - The massagers are powerful. I don't mean they hurt, I mean I can press on them with my foot and they keep turning with no problem. The pressure doesn't slow or stop them at all. Because they have some power, they tend to pinch your foot, but I talked about that in the cons section. There is a built in timer. I have a love-hate relationship with him. Basically, it just reminds me that I've been soaking for a long time, otherwise I would have been turned into a raisin very quickly. The LCD screen is very large and easy to read. Too bad it's in Celsius (another thing I noted above). Looking at my lists, you'd think I hate this thing. But I do not know. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There's a lot of room for improvement, but I still really like it, mostly because my large feet fit well and these massagers are amazing.

Pros
  • SAFE AND FAST HEATING
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
