Customer Reviews of Foot Baths - heated foot bath
Customer Review: good product with some issues
Summary: 3 Stars
this is my first foot tub. i don't know the performance of other type. but this one has strong enough flow. the strength has high and low two settings. the heat is only on/off. there are only two blow heads, one for each foot. massage nodes don't move by themselves. these are pretty much standard features among all kinds of foot tubs.
my problem is the remote control doesn't work. i have to stop by the store tomorrow. hope it is the remote controller's problem. second, it is the deepest i have saw in stores, which gives a deep massage and i love it. water line any deeper than this may not practical because of the weight of water could be considerable for some people. however, tall tub also means the legs are restrained somehow. The solution might be finding a higher chair. Even with these problems, I like it over all. The experience has no regret.
Customer Review: Good for at home use...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very picky when it came to a foot massage. I knew I wanted a heater and I read every review on here on every model available before choosing this model. I think this model is pretty good for at home use. Of course I would rather have someone also massaging my feet, for it to be deeper so it covered more, and possibly a wider base...but hey, this is a home unit and it is pretty darn good. The heating function is wonderful, getting the water nice and hot. I wish there were air jets under my foot- they are at the top of the unit shooting at my toes. I curl my toes this way and that and it pushes the bubbles around my feet. I think I am going to try putting my sea salts in a cheesecloth and see if it works. Otherwise, you can't add sea salts to the unit...which is a bummer.
Overall, this a good unit for at home use.
Customer Review: Does what I need it to do!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have neuropathy in my feet so they constantly feel cold. There are only two negative things I can say about this item. One is that it's heavy when FULL (because the water level is deep, a plus) so I have my son carry it to the sink to drain. The other is that it recommends you not use oils or salts in the water or the jets could get clogged. I do, however, use non-foaming salts and rinse well when I drain it. So far, no problem.
It warms nicely and then maintains a very warm temp for 30 minutes. If you want more, simply hit the heat button again. I've seen several people comment about the drain plug breaking off and I can see how that might happen if it's forced too tight. There is a rubber gasket so it doesn't take that much force to tighten it...easy does it.
Customer Review: Satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife wanted a foot spa and I began my search via the web and noticed that most people weren't pleased with their foot spas they complained of loud noises, jets (i.e. bubbles) were not powerful, or just plain cheap.I decided to give Sharper Image or Brookstone a try. Sharper Image claimed that their spa kept the water warm but were out of stock (a good sign) but I wanted one immediately and gave Brookstone a try. My wife loved it! She frequents the nail salons for pedicures and stated that this machine was just like the ones at the salon in regards to features and comfort. She was VERY thankful. I have also experienced the jets and the water temperature and it works as advertised. You won't be dissatisfied. There are cheaper ones but IMHO this is worth the money. Enjoy.Customer Review: Quit working after 6 uses
Summary: 1 Stars
I use the foot spa infrequently, primarily for helping to recover from foot surgery.
I've had the unit for over a year, but have used it only about 6 times (and being careful not to add anything to the water per the directions).
This morning, I pulled it out, filled it with warm water, plugged it in and started it up in anticipation of helping a foot recover from another, recent operation. The unit worked for about 5 minutes and then the air pump quit functioning properly, making only a clicking sound and providing no air jet flow.
The only advice from Brookstone customer service is to take it to a repair shop.
I am extremely disappointed that such an expensive unit has failed and requires repair after just 6 uses.
