Homedics Tru-Heat FB251

Bought this spa from The GoodGuy online for $80 and using Afterpay. From the start I already like it; the packaging was environmentally friendly. The manual is easy to follow and everything is there as it should be.

Operation is easy, however I did found warming the water first prior to using the spa heater helped it to prolong the experience.

I would prefer it to have the on/off button and then slowly say using the preset timer, the bubbles and so on.

The noise is bearable at first; using Apple Watch app it sit around 70-78dB. It does get annoying after 15 minutes or so.

Apart from that my wife and daughter love this spa. One use it for relaxation and the other foot exfoliating.

Bought on sale from Myer, I've always wanted one but thought they were a waste of time. They are not a waste of time!
I can't really fault this one. If you fill to the maximum level line it does feel like there's not enough water in the spa, but once it's going it is fine. The plastic massage rollers are very intense, I popped them out easily enough and put them away. Much nicer with just the vibration and bubbles. The heat function works a treat, you only need to turn it on for a couple of minutes before the water is piping hot again.

Enjoying the unit, if you put warm water in to start with the heat function works really well, I had to turn it off when it got too hot and back on when it cooled down. The rollers do not roll easily and makes it a bit clunky to glide your feet along for massage. The pumice stones don't have a storage area like some others do and they just clip onto the middle to use, I thought the pumice may spin to help pumice your feet. Also the bubbles mechanism is quite loud. These few grievances are why it didn't get 5 stars. Still my feet are pretty warm and happy in it!

The product is well built. It is advisable to start with warm water. The heater is powerful enough to keep the water warm but not strong enough to heat the water from cold. My kid and I enjoy this very much. The bubble is very soothing. The massager (vibration) is a bit too noisy so I am not using it. Overall this is a good product so worth recommending this.

This footspa really does heat the water. Other models and brands claim to heat the water but never actually achieve this claim, however, this model keeps water warm and can heat warm water up to around 40C. This is awesome for the colder weather.

There are press button controls that individually control the heat, bubbles and vibration, any combination of these modes can be on or off individually. There is also a timer for 30, 45, 60 min.

I put epsom salts into the footspa and this works well to relax my body muscles, as good as a bath.

Definitely try this footspa if you have been disappointed with other brands, your disappointment will end!

The HoMedics FB251 True Heat Water Spa Pedicure Foot Bath Spa Massager/Pumice Stone actually does heat the water. It has a pumice stone for if you need it - we didn't. The bubbles, vibration and heating of the water are just right. I got it for my wife, but I've snuck in a use or two of it when I bruised the underside of my foot... I could have sat there for hours if I could. Many other reviews of other products say they don't heat the water; this one does. Having just the heat and vibration on does let the water get a bit too warm sometim...
