For $25 vs the $99 Brookstone spa model on here that got a decent review, I decided to save $74. What turned me off on the $99 model by Brookstone CANNOT use bath salts or bath bomb bits or whatever – this model can. Its relatively simple in its design, and if you enjoy adding additives to your water to make your foot spa more enjoyable like myself, you might want to consider this.
So far, I think this did its job. One, it does keep the hot water warm for a pretty long time, about 25 minutes or so. Its vibrate feature is gentle so its not a “deep massage” but I found that my feet DID feel better afterwards, it could be a little bit better, I would give that a B+.
I have flat feet so this model was deep enough to cover my feet completely so I was pleased with that.
The yellow button is a little wonky for working with your toes unless you are more dexterous than me, but I used my heel to turn it on and off with ease.
The bubbles are pleasant and don’t cause splashing, I tried this on a hardwood floor and now feel safe about using this on carpet.
As for the bubbles feature being noisy, it isn’t anywhere near as noisy as a vacuum, its a definite hum but I have heard fans on laptops noisier than this. It isn’t so loud you cannot enjoy music over it! So that didn’t bother me at all either.
I am giving it four stars minus one star because I had to return the model I got due to the right foot not bubbling. Beyond that, I am happy with my purchase enough to return it and try again with the same model, which I think counts for something.
