HoMedics Bubble Spa Footbath Monday, August 30, 2010
Love my new bubble spa footbath. very relaxing after a busy work day.
Horrible product Monday, May 31, 2010My husband purchased this item as a gift since I am on my feet all day long. The water DEFINITELY does not stay hot for longer than 5 minutes, the bubbles are simply just bubbles, and there was nothing enjoyable about a cold foot bath! I was very disappointed.
My mama told me, "You better shop around!" Thursday, August 06, 2009I wish I'd actually shopped around instead of just picking up the only thing the store had when I went in today. For the price, I was pretty unimpressed with what I got. The bubbles are almost energetic enough to feel. The "power jets" are pathetic. The water doesn't stay hot for any length of time. There are lots of bumps on the bottom that are supposed to be massaging, but you're not supposed to stand in the spa, and you can't really get enough pressure on the bumps to be useful without standing. I didn't try the pumice stone or brush, but the spinning massage thing was the most useful bit. However, keeping pressure on it to keep it spinning is challenging while you're moving your foot around to get it massaged. The carrying handle is well done and the control buttons are fine (though they get wet from drips if you're using the central spinning attachments). Given that those aren't the main purpose of the unit, I would not buy this again, nor recommend it to others.
good but died before 1 year Tuesday, April 28, 2009great handle, great jets, but motor died within first year. will try brookstones this time.
absolute junk... both of them Tuesday, April 28, 2009I bought my first foot bath from Target so my pregnant wife could soak her sore feet after a day of work. I brought it home and filled it with warm water and plugged it in and found that the bubbles didn't work... no motor noise, no bubbles, nothing. The jet massage was a bit of a joke as well, very weak and no of no value that I could see.
So the next day I packed it up and took it back to Target in exchange for an identical model. We opened up the second one and filled it with water plugged it in and the bubble motor seems to be trying to work but only about 5 or 6 bubbles came out of one hole. We let it run for a few minutes thinking it just needed to warm up - no such luck. After about 15 minutes still nothing. It was makiinng some noise like it was working, but not a bubble to be found. The jet massage was just as disappointing as the first one we bought. My wife set it aside and picked it up a few minutes later to find that the water leaked out of the bottom of the tub and soaked our carpet. About 2/3rds of the water leaked out.
Needleess to say we won't be buying any more Homemedics products, and this one is going back to the store tomorrow.
Next time I am going to check the Amazon ratings before purchasing, and probably going to spend a bit more for a quality product.
