 disappointing product December 20, 2007

I chose this product mostly for the claimed heat feature. But where is the heat? Hot water gets cold very quickly in the foorbath. The bubbling is also very mild. There is no control for either heat or bubbling.
This thing also is not as quiet as claimed. There is a constant humming noise much louder than my ultrasonic humidifier. Considering the little this thing does (just a few wimpy bubbles), the noise is even more annoying. I am going to return this thing if I still can!
Yea... Not so much. December 15, 2007

As a full time student, this was an extravagant purchase for me. However, as a full time pharmacy tech, I spend my days on me feet and thought this would be just the ticket to some soothing pampering. Rarely do you find something that is actually nicer than it looks on the box. I love some of the smaller features like the handle. Anyone who has ever tried to re-locate a steaming tub of water in the name of a foot massage knows what value this adds to this product. It also features a nice drain area, a comfortable gel foot rest for use w/ the pedi attachment and even touts it's own storage for the pedi tool's 5 different heads. So wheres the big let down? First of all the bubbles are mild and this tub does not feature vibration massage. Second, and probably my biggest issue with this tub: They claim it to have "Heat". Upon reading the manual you find that the heat is only for maintaining the temprture you put in it. Which I found acceptable, until it didn't work. I timed the product while in use and it steadily decreased from steaming to stone cold inside of the 15 minute mark. So all and all you left with a tepid, gurgling experience. Certainly not worth 50 bucks in my opinion. It was kind of like a Mercedes Benz... with no engine. Lots of bells and whistles, super elite and top of line but, it just doesn't accomplish it's primary function.
Could be so much better! May 14, 2007
Quick notes:
- Water gets cold very quickly
- bubble wand doesn't work all the time, especially when your feet are resting on the bottom
- if you're expecting a salon quality finish on your feet, then don't buy this and just go to a professional
- hand wand is very loud
- if you're not careful, you can burn your skin and nails in a matter of seconds when using the various parts for the hand wand
- this item is not worth the price tag on it and should be lowered

This product was not received in even WORKING ORDER. Who has time for such nonsense? (buying, returning, reordering). I contacted manufacturer, who refused to take responsibility for this nonfunctioning product, and advised I return to Macy's. Macy's wants $7 to return...I HAVE TO PAY THEM TO TAKE THIS DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE BACK? I won't bother...Between Homedics and Macy's, they should have been able to get this right the first time, right? Wrong! Buy a Rubbermaid dishwashing tub and a pumice stone...a fraction of the cost and just as effective! Never again.....Let's see how many e-mails I get from the businesses involved wishing to correct this..Yeah, riiiiight!
 Okay, but could use some work. December 29, 2006

I bought this for my wife and tried it recently. She liked it for the most part, but noticed that the water cooled down, when the box says that this machine keeps it warm. It took a while so it wasn't a huge inconvenience. Also, the motor for the pedicure wand is very loud.
I liked it, but also noticed a kinda rapid cooling of the water temp. The bubbles are nice, and the motor that runs that part is fairly quiet.
Worth purchasing, but not for $50+ that Amazon wants. Try to find it on sale. $30 seems like a better price.
