Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Standing long hours on the job or hiking a rough trail can leave feet sorely in need of this soothing foot spa. Fill the spa basin with warm water, plug into the wall, and sit on a comfortable seat while you soak your feet. Three settings adjust the amount of heat, bubbles, and massage: 1) lightly vibrates with heat; 2) bubbles vigorously; and 3) vibrates, bubbles, heats, and massages. Keep a towel under the spa bath for those errant drops of water that spring out. Four interchangeable attachments let you adapt the shape and size of pressure points under each foot, and smaller acupressure rollers massage hard-to-reach areas. A built-in storage compartment keeps the attachments handy. While the spa produces some comfortable infrared heat, it can be filled with water of a hotter temperature if preferred. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Dr. Scholl's DR6626 Premium Foot Spa (Health and Beauty)

I have to admit that I am new to foot spas. I read various reviews about the Dr. Scholls Premium Foot spa and bought into it. It seemed like a really good product that would be beneficial. Now, the TRUTH: The day it arrived I attempted to use it. I read the instructions etc. and filled it with water. What happened, you may wonder? Well, I turned it on, and yes, it did vibrate. It also warmed up the water after a good 10-15 minutes after I had already put in luke warm water. So yes, it did what it "claims".
Now. Would I recommend that anyone but this? NEVER! Don't even think once about it! The thing has the noise level equal to a vacuum, but truthfully my vacuum has more power to it. If you want to see what this product would be like, I encourage you to get a pan and fill it with warm water. Next, get a few straws. Stick your feet in it, and blow bubbles into the water with the straws. That "movement" of water, and the speed at which you can blow is ironically almost the exact speed as the Premium Foot Spa! The vibration option is like setting your foot on a cell phone that is vibrating. When the bubbles and massage are used in combination, the effects of both, which are none-the-less minimally--MINIMALLY--stimulating, can be thought of as cancelling eachother out. You can feel them, but have no idea which is which. NOT IMPRESSED. You could easily forget that you have your feet in a tub of water. I tried it once again to ensure that the air pressure wasn't building up or that I was too impatient, but no. I waited for 15 minutes for something more than a pathetic purring but nothing happened. If you have a pool, stick your foot in and swirl it around, it could even be more pleasing as well as cheaper.
My last issue: splashing water. In vibration mode, it doesn't splash- it barely does anything! In option 2, bubble mode, it splashed pretty much everywhere after a good 10 minutes.(*I also checked that water level twice to ensure it wasn't too high and even took some water out!) The machine causes little splashes to go everywhere around it. It was more stressful to watch all the water I would have to clean up at the end of this "relaxing" foot "treatment". I also have to mention that the cord was also continuously getting wet. Not only from the splashes, but because one of the foot placements that has rollers in which you have to roll your feet over, makes water spill out the back sides and the cord outlet is conviently right on that back side! The foot pieces I also have to mention are nothing but plastic. They are very dificult to feel, if felt at all. The rollers also besides the splashing are sompletely ineffective. The accupressure/node whatever, is located in the worst possible spot, the center. It is not even in the water, but raised about it! So out of warm water into cold air and then continuous rubbing of one foot at a time on a piece of plastic which your foot doesn't exactly fit into the area causes an uncomfortable and feelingless waste of time.

I couldn't tell anyone to buy this, and quite frankly, you should be paid not to. I'm just GRATEFUL I didn't give it away as a present before trying it. I would be embarrassed to attach my name to the card!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE smartest choice and best deal/quality, December 2, 2002

This thing rocks! We were amazed at how powerful the jets can be. There is no excuse for weak jets after using this one. Also, it has a nice storing compartment for the pedicure attachments. Very handy. Other models do not offer that. We bought the conair one first and it didn't have that. Where was I gonna store all the attachments? Just more things to misplace or get eaten by the dog. Also, this unit truly does heat up the water and keeps it warm. Other models were VERY weak when it came to that. Most don't even heat cool water for you. this one does and it really works. It also has a bonus infrared section on it for your heels which I have not seen on any other model. You really get a good deal with this one and great quality. We bought the conair model and took it back within hours. That thing was so weak! Especially compared to this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be duped!, March 18, 2003

This review is from: Dr. Scholl's DR6626 Premium Foot Spa (Health and Beauty)

I don't know if the other reviewers for this product got a different box from me or work for the company in marketing, but I returned another foot spa and purchased this item based on their advice -- and it is awful! Contrary to their glowing reviews, the nibs on the bottom are uncomfortable, the rollers are painfully oversized, the vibration minimal, the splashing substantial, and the heat no better than any other model. The worst of all worlds, and now I'm stuck with it... Buyer beware!
