Bubble Spa Elite Footbath – Heated Foot Soak with Massage Bubbles and Easy-Tote Handle

Don’t get me wrong; I thought the price for this machine was a bit steep at first. However, this machine will transplant you to another realm. It is a little noisy (the only negative), but apart from that, it helps me relax immensely. Although I bought it for hygienic reasons to help with a toenail infection, I am very impressed with the quality. Last year, I had bought Sharper Image SMG1550 Foot Spa Massager with Bubbles, Vibrating Pedicure Spa, Foot Bath and got so frustrated because even after talking to the seller about the horrible quality (it makes much more noise and does not heat water like it says it does, and even trying to get it ‘repaired,’ I STILL had to add hot water to make the heat unit it “work.” Comparing this product to the other one is like night and day. This product feels like a godsend. It heats with minimal effort (I actually recommend you filling it with cold water at the beginning because if you don’t, it will get TOO hot, unlike what the instructions say about getting a “head start.” Also, it comes with these wonderful pads to put your feet. They are shaped like tiny spikes, but because they are of a soft material, they are really comfortable and help me exfoliate my skin. Seriously, after yersterday, my feet felt so soft like baby’s feet. This was so much more better than Sharper images product with hard plastic ridges that made you want to take your foot out the moment you used it. I love this product and am using it with Purely Northests products for my fungal disorder. In addition, I just feel oh so relaxed which is so great because I tend to have anxiety in the sense that I can’t get my mind to take a hike and always feel like I need to do something. This machine helps me settle down at night when I still feel like “taking on the world.” I also really need this because I suffer from an autoimmune disorder and am making a lot of changes after beginning Amy Myer’s Autoimmune Solution, and being extremely type A is not going to help me at all whatsoever. I am sure most of you are buying this for recreational purposes, but since it was for my health, I justified this great investment (which I would normally consider to be frivolous), but in any case, I highly recommend the product.

This is my first foot bath purchase. It works great, is easy to use and empty, and comfortably fits my womens size 11 feet. The heater keeps the water hot and the bubbles feel great on my feet. The bubbles are a bit noisy, but not so much so that it is distracting. The sound is soothing to me. The “grass” inserts provide a pleasant sensation on the bottoms of my feet. I love the handle – it folds down for storage and is very sturdy when filling or dumping the tub. The handle was one of the reasons I went with this unit and I’m glad I did. I use epsom salts in it and haven’t had any issues so far. I do dissolve the salt in a cup of water before adding it to the bath. One thing I would change is making the cord longer. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.
