It's my own fault for not reading carefully enough, but I was disappointed with a couple of items. I expected to have everything at once: bubbles, heat, massage. It turns out that you can only have them separately.

1> the "infrared heater" is not even in the bath itself. See the palm-sized dark red thing on top of the unit, near the middle? That has some lights in it that eventually get warm. Its function, apparently, is to rest your heels on so they get warm. It is outside the water line, so you can't use this feature while having your feet in the water. I found this to be sort of lame.

2> if you look at the picture, you will see two gray circles at the top of the unit. Those are the massagers, as they spin. They are not in the bath unit, so you have to take your feet out of the bath to use them.

The whole unit vibrates, if you want it to. But this just gives you a numb feeling. Those blue squiggly tubes you see in the picture on the bottom of the foot bath.... they are stationary tubes with holes in it that release bubble if you want them to.

I guess I was mostly disappointed than anything, but I could have read more carefully. I just wanted to write something so someone else doesn't assume what I assumed, that you could get massage, bubbles, and heat at the same time. I guess you could have bubbles and vibration (but no massage) at the same time, and if you poured in hot water you could have heat too. But this is not the same as what I expected, which, again, was mostly my own fault.

My feet are getting old (but NOT the rest of me) and they really love to be pampered at the end of the day in this footbath. I think the best feature is the 2-speed spinning rollers that massage the bottoms of the feet...it feels wonderful. I use them first and then immerse my feet in the water to enjoy the benefits of the vibrating bottom and the bubbling action. If I could improve anything, it would be to make the bubbling more forceful, but I'm sure there are limits on how much can be done in a small unit like this versus a full-sized jacuzzi.

I can't attest to how well it keeps the water warmed because the weather has been hot and I've only been putting cool water in the tub. But I think that keeping the feet cool while massaging them is an extra benefit. My feet feel so refreshed after using this unit, and I would highly recommend it to others.

I recently had foot surgery and my boyfriend was thoughtful enough to get this for me. This product has been a great help in the recovery of my foot. Although the description leads you to believe that you get a heater, massager and bubbler all-in-one (you don't); this product is great. The massager is on the outside of the unit as well as the heater. I know people have complained that you have to put hot water in it..but be real...is that so hard??? This unit keeps the water hot for at least 20 minutes (which is more than the recommendid time to soak) and it delivers on all of it's promises.

After surgery my foot was stiff, sore and I couldn't bend my toes. After soaking, the heat and massagers helped me gain more flexibilty and eased my throbbing foot. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great product to sooth your feet at the end of the day (or after surgery). :)

I was quite happy with this product, and felt that I got a really good deal from amazon.com, with the free shipping and discount, and coupon that I had.

My wife was previously soaking her feet on occassion with bowls and buckets found around the house. This equipment made that much nicer! The only drawback is that it does not heat the water for you. You have to put hot water in it to begin with. The Infared heat will simply keep the water warm. It also can get a little heavy with the water in it, but it is easy to empty assuming you can lift a fair amount of weight. Seniors might have trouble though.

Overall easy and fun to use, and good bag for the buck!

I carefully read all of the reviews before I purchased this product, and I only disagree with one review. It is not loud. The bubbles and the massager do make noise - but less than a foot bath at a salon. If you turn on the spinners on top, there is additional noise, but I don't feel like it is an unreasonable amount. Additionally, it was a lot lighter than I expected even with water. When I first used the spinners, they tickled my feet and I thought they were too rough. However, after soaking for a little while, I found that I could use the spinners without experiencing extreme sensitivity. Basically, I like this product and have used it more than once. (A good sign.) I did not give it five stars, because a salon soak and pedicure is still a better experience.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. After putting our kids to bed, we decided to try it out. When I turned it on, I thought the house was falling down! It is the noisiest thing I've ever seen! We don't know how well it works because we did not get that far. If noise does not bother you, this might work for you, because it does have some nice features. But, if part of your "relaxation experience" is peace and quiet, don't buy it!

I think it's a pretty good item, it relaxes you, when my husband used it he fell asleep, and I felt comfortable when I used it, the remote control makes it even better.
The reason I didn't give the extra star is because I wish the bubles were stronger but I mean what can we expect for a small-home article.
This item brings three different accesories for a complete pedicure: brush, pumice and massagers that rotates, this is good as long as you don't lay completely your feet on them because the weight will stop them.
I think this item it's good enough for a relax time and treat your feet.

I bought mine on sale and the first one I got was broken. Not only that but if you have to send it in to get covered by the warranty, you have to pay the shipping to and from homedics and at that point, you may as well just buy a new one. That's probably the point but I would highly recommend reading all that info before buying this product. If its on sale its not too bad of a foot bath, it gets the job done. I bought it because it can do both wet and dry massage and it does ok at that. If you have money for a better one definitely go for it.

I thought this would be a great product for my tired feet after running 10 miles a day. This thing is a joke. If you want hot water, better get out a pan and turn on your stove, because this thing does not keep water hot. The "Infrared Heater" amounts to a light bulb underneath a red plastic piece on top of the unit. I guess you're supposed to rest your feet on it, but if you do, you have to take your feet out of the water. If you fill up the unit with hot water, it will be cold after about 10 minutes. It does produce bubbles, but I found this to be anything but "rejuvenating." Basically it just tickled a bit. The "massage" part amounted to some spinning things on top of the unit, which again, you have to take your feet out of the water to use. This thing is also a pain to set up. It's heavy, takes up a lot of room, and water goes everywhere when you try to pour it out because there is no spout on the front of it for it to easily drain out.

Would it have been so hard to incorporate a water heater and foot massagers underneath the water directly below your feet?

Unfortunately, i was not fully happy with this product. "Bubbler Footbath with Infrared Heat" doesn't really do much. I really didn't know the whole point of bubbler or the infrared heat. The water got cold after 10 minutes, and "Infrared heat" just tickles your foot. It's hard to pour the water out from the unit after you are done. I also thought the power cord was too short if i want to use it from the sofa that's far away from the power source. The spinners made even more mess after the "water" bath. the water would go all over my carpet. After using it once, i've made so much mess...

I gave the gift to my parents, who are working/standing 18+ a day, but they didn't use it after the first day. Kinda sad... It's inefficient and incovinent in my opinion. sorry...
