Yet another disposable gadget from the Conair people, but not without some redeeming qualities. The two water jets are quite strong. They won't convert your bathtub into a Jacuzzi, but they're capable of applying genuine hydropressure to a 12-inch strip of one side of your body. Since most bathtubs have only a single side, you'll need to make certain that the side to which the Spa unit attaches is the one next to the anatomical part in need of treatment. Also, check with your spouse, partner, or fellow bathtub users before installing the item. My wife has already said she wants no part of the device and that in removing it I'd better be sure those suction cups don't leave marks on the porcelain. Even if you did leave the spa in place, it would be a bad idea, since anyone using the shower would get the top half of the machine wet, which the instructions indicate is a strict no no.

The machine has a variable switch. If your bubbles go flat or rubber duckie gets stuck in a quagmire, just put the switch into "bubble mode," which increases the frequency of the jet streams and stirs things up a bit more.

But the real genius of this machine is its built-in light. It's exactly the same size and brightness of one of those bicycle headlights that require the rider to generate the power. I would love to meet the engineer who came up with this inspired final touch, which preoccupied me throughout my entire bath. I can't come up with a single functional or aesthetic purpose for the light, which is probably why the Conair designers installed it--to kind of distract the consumer from the unit's actual limitations. On the other hand, the light does, after a while, give the machine a sense of "personality." It's kind of like the little bugger is staring back at me, and I'm quite sure I detect a smile. I wonder why and at whose expense.

Don't use the jets below the water line or it won't work well. If the jets are right at the water line it will create some good turbulance and give the feel of a whirlpool. Our family enjoys this very much, well worth the money.

I love whirlpool tubs. Whenever we travel (and we travel a LOT), my husband tries to get me a jacuzzi suite. It's such a swell way to relax after a day of touring the town, especially if I've been on my feet all day.

I've been pestering him to install a whirlpool tub at home, but you know what they cost. So I decided to try the Conair bath spa until we saved enough pennies.

All I can say is -- LOLOL! It might be comparable to a whirlpool tub if you bought 4 of them and perched them all around the tub. Otherwise, it just doesn't move much water around. I suppose it's better than nothing, but not by much. I can barely feel the current. To say I'm underwhelmed would be an understatement. It was fun to play with, and it was nice as a REMINDER of some of the swell whirlpool baths I've relaxed in, but it just doesn't approach the real thing, and it's a lot of bother for so little pleasure. You have to be pretty desperate to think this is fabulous, although I'll probably continue to use it until I get a real whirlpool tub. In hindsight, I should have saved the money I spent to put in the piggybank for the real thing. Either that, or I shoulda bought four of them!

My wife loved this item. No, it does not replace a true hot-tub. Would you really expect that for 50 bucks? But she really did like it. She said when she closed her eyes she felt as though she was in a whirlpool. The kids, however, do think it turns the tub into a hot-tub. It is quiet, and rather powerful and overall worth it. I was impressed at the power of the jets and the motor is low noise. When I walked into the bathroom it sounded like a bubbly hot-tub. I would recommend it.

Disappointed with low water pressure. More like a bubble maker.

I purchased another brand and was sorely dissapointed. I then bought this one and I was much more delighted. The jets are in a good spot. The motor was sufficient. And oh the lights. What a great addition. I would recomend this spa. Enjoy

I have used bath spas before and all of them had plenty of power. This is nice, but you don't really feel anything. I thought about it and faced the water jets AT each other for more power.

NOT VERY EFFECTIVE,BUT THEN,FOR THE PRICE, ABOUT WHAT I EXPECTED.

I purchased this product after the dog chewed through the cord of my last one. (different brand, cheaper). So when I decided to replace it, I wanted to "move up". I am a bit disappointed with it. It is not any better, in my opinion, than my previous one that approximately $20 cheaper.

I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of this spa. No, you will not get a true whirlpool for $50. And it's hard to get the jets positioned properly for anything other than your leg, but they are surprisingly strong. The two cords give you about 16ft total, so it's easy to find a place to plug it in in most bathrooms. The bubble effect works well and really gives a spa feel. The unit operated more quietly than I expected - just a humming noise.

The unit was easy to install/adjust to fit my garden tub.

I think this unit would be a pain if you don't have a separate tub/shower. I do, so I plan to just leave it in place for whenever I use the tub.
