Boy are the previous reviewers on the soft mat and the earlier Conair spa mat a bunch of whiners! Clearly none of them has ever been in a Jacuzzi equipped tub. Guess what folks, in order to make this many bubbles, the unit's going to make noise. The Conair unit sounds like a small vacuum cleaner plus the added noise of the bubble jets. If this annoys you, don't buy the unit! Also, the bubbles will be blowing in room temperature air. An easy way to compensate is to make the bath water extra hot. I used to own a hot tub, and it pulled in room temperature air as well, so the Conair design is not inconsistent with the way that units costing 50 times as much operate! Give it a whirl, if you're not satisfied, save your receipt and Target will refund your money.

After reading the reviews on this item, I almost took it off of my wish list. However, when I received this bath spa as a gift this Christmas, I really half expected the bath to suck, with "ice cold" bubbles and hurricane-force bubbles that would all but blow me out of the tub. But guess what? This spa was GREAT!!! I must have left it on for 30 minutes and it barely changed the temperature of my bath water. This is a great gift for anyone who loves to relax in the bath, and it is not any nosier than a regular spa. Enjoy!!

I gave this only 4 stars because it isn't a "hot tub", jacuzzi, or "spa tub". But, for around $35, I can enjoy a nice "spa tub" like bath. Yes, it's a little loud. Yes, it doesn't stick to the tub like you'd think it would with all the suction cups. However, I don't have a hot tub, I don't have a spa tub, I don't have a jacuzzi. I suffer from a painful muscle disorder, so I wanted something that might help ease the pain. With a little Epsom Salts, which you may use with this, this does the trick. When I first got in the tub, and had to wrestle with the mat to keep it down, I was doubting my purchase, but once I got settled, it was very relaxing and enjoyable. Some reviewers stated that the water doesn't stay hot. It says that in the literature, and I found that if I stay in it for the recommended 15-20 minutes, it stays hot enough. I did notice it shooting out cooler water toward the end, but I figured it was time to get out anyway. Would I buy it again? Sure, unless I can afford the real thing. It did what I wanted it to do, what more can you ask.

If you can't afford a real spa, like me, then this is a fine alternate. If you get the tub surface wet before sticking the mat down, the suction cups will firmly hold the mat in place. I was surprized how powerful the bubbles were. They almost felt like the jets in a big hot tub. The only thing is that this spa is not thermal. Even on the box it said THERMAL in bold, red letters. It's not that big of a problem, though. It's ok if you use soaps and shampoos. You only have to use a little bit of bath gel because the rapid movement of the water makes many soapy bubbles. My daughter dumped the normal amount she uses into the tub and a few minutes later it was overflowing with suds! I didn't believe she only added a little bit. She thought it was funny until I made her clean it up! It's a wonderful spa overall.

I was really excited when I received this as a Christmas gift. What a disappointment! I like a hot bath...because this mat blows room temperature air it feels like cool water shooting up, plus it cools your bathwater down to lukewarm in nothing flat. The jets are nice, but if you are really interested in this product I would spend the extra $$ and either get a heated one, or one that hangs on the side of the tub.

I don't know what everyone is whining about. I LOVE MY BATH MAT!! I have a chronic muscle disorder and am in quite alot of pain all the time. I found this unit to be wonderful. It also helps me relax before bedtime so that I can get some sleep (my disorder causes insomnia) so I just love it.
I did find that you do need to make your bath water as hot as you can stand it and roll gently to one side then the other to get the best benefits out of it. I stay in it for 30 minutes or so and I don't care if I get a little water splashed on the floor...I just wipe it up with a towel.
I am currently on the web to buy one for my mother who has the same disorder that I have...and I know she is going to love it too! I have never been able to afford the big hottub/jacuzzi, so this works great for an alternative.

while it is a little noisy, what a great relaxation tool at a great price- a little deep breathing and the noise fades- leaving you with a nice experience.

It is great.. you do have to start with hot water because the bubbles blow cool air. that didn't really take away from how well this bath spa worked. I used a little too much bubble bath and it was all over. In the end I love this product.. it makes a great gift...

The people who say this is too loud...well SPA TUBS ARE LOUD TOO! I love mine I use it all the time for around 30 bucks you cant beat it! it's easy to set up and put away also quick too and it is very soothing. My husband call me devil woman because I like the water Scalding hot and I have yet to have a problem with the water getting too cool... I would recomend this product... unless you want to pay more!

At first I was thrilled when my husband got me this for Christmas...he knows how much I like my baths! When I first turned it on I was quite pleased. The jets are very powerful and felt wonderful! However, I soon realized that the air being forced out felt colder and colder until it was really quite uncomfortable.

Also, the mat kind of "floats up" in spite of the suction cups and sticks against my skin in a way that I find annoying, especially considering that the surface feels cold due to the air being shot at you.

Altogether I am disappointed and sad that my present turned out this way. My husband is very disappointed too.
