Homedics Bubble Mate Foot Spa, Toe Touch Controlled Foot Bath with Invigorating Bubbles and Splash Proof, Raised Massage nodes and Removable Pumice Stone

The media could not be loaded. I seriously thought about calling a nail spa and asking what they would charge to let me just sit in a chair and soak my feet in bubbling water. No pedicure. Pedicure is $40, which includes maybe a 6-minute foot soak. Business is slow, especially Monday through Thursday, so maybe they'd rent me the chair and bubbly soak for $15 or $20. Once. So I decided to see what was available to own. To use as often as I wish.This is it. My own foot spa with bubbles. I love it!The only fault I can find with it is it's a tad noisy. But as I sat relaxed I soon thought of it as white noise, something I could meditate to and thus let my spirit dance right along with my happy feet.For the cost of 1 and a half nail salon chair rentals I now have my own footspa. It is everything I'd hoped it would be.Using it in the evening before bed, I discovered when my feet are happy, I sleep better. The instruction booklet is useful and informative. It says not recommended for diabetics. I am diabetic. I think that's a clause for insurance purposes, as it is possible for someone with advanced diabetes to have no sensation in their toes or feet. They could start with water that is too hot. They could have ulcers or blisters on their feet that need to be treated medically. Also, as per instruction booklet, the footbath will not heat cold water. I find that filling with warm, nearly hot water to the fill line, putting my feet in and turning it on, the water retains the warmth for 10 to 15 minutes. Possibly longer, but I found that a 10-minute bubbling soak does wonders for my feet.Lastly, booklet says do not put any additives in the water. Possibly something might clog the jets. But I put in a splash of white vinegar, on recommendation by my podiatrist. If anything, I'd think it would keep the jets clean and humming.

I like that it is compact and has the tiny pointy things in the bottom that help massage your feet. It is deep which is a plus so water doesn't overflow. It is quiet. Well made and a great purchase for the intended purpose.

This foot bath thingy is such a nice small luxury to have. I believe in having impromptu spa nights with just things you enjoy. This has become a part of that routine especially with being on my feet all day in dress shoes. It’s more affordable than the other foot baths I’ve seen on Amazon and it doesn’t have those features I do not want such as the massage rollers or vibration. Yes, it has little bumps for if you want to utilize but you don’t have to. Cleaning is pretty easy. My only complaints are that I wish it was a little deeper and the mechanism for the bubbles is a little loud but that’s about it. Nothing to ruin the experience. The basin is large enough for my feet (size 12) with about an inch of clearance from my toes to the wall. I do enjoy the bubbles, they are gentle and add just a pinch of boujie. I use them to cool down the too hot of water I use. It does keep the water temp warm for about as long as a normal bath so I tend to use it twice to help my sore feet.The key to make this the best experience: find a nice foot soak to use. I found jasmine scented and melatonin infused epsom salt which just makes me happy. Before I was using lavender, which was fine, but something with my favorite scent just adds that quality touch to relaxing me time.I use this almost daily with cleanings in between and have had it for a few weeks now. It still works like it did right out of the box. Just make sure when you do clean it and you empty the basin, flip it upside down over a sink to drain the water from the holes where the bubbles come out.Highly recommend especially if you need some you time but don’t want to go out for a pedicure or have the cost associated with it. $20 foot bath and $5 bag of epsom salt can make for weeks of relaxing evenings at home.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love soaking my feet . Watching tv and having a snack while I'm relaxing.

Purchased to help my Dad with his feet. He loves it better than professional pedicures!

Pros: comes with plug in cord & not a rechargeable item. Accommodates my sz 10 ladies foot with additional room. Easy to clean.Cons: It's loud. The water didn't stay warm at all. The bubbles are nice but the manufacturer instructions specify not to use salts... so that sucks. I wouldn't recommend since I specifically wanted a warm water Epsom salt foot bath.

Encantada con mi spa, espero que me dure un buen tiempo.

Good product for the price. Works well and have had no issues at all
