Totally relax
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.
Purchased in at The Good Guys for $79.

Love it.
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.
Purchased in for $69.
Good unit, few downsides
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!
Purchased in at Catch for $77.

Good product. Enjoy 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.

FootSpa that really does heat the water!
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!

A FootSpa that does what it says
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...
Read morees...but add in the bubbles and it's great. Simple buttons, simple interface... and with the timer you can fall asleep.. though it's probably safe to run it on a towel for drying your feet afterwards or for the few drops that might get splashed out by moving your feet around in the bubbles - depending on water level and foot size.Questions & Answers
We all have large feet in our family. What size does the bath accommodate?
Hi
Seem to be missing pumice stone gadget. All I got was the foot spa. Does the pumice come in a separate bag?
Hi chris ,
Sorry to hear this, yes this should come with the pumice stone if it did not please return it to the place of purchase for a swap over....
Read moreIf you purchased this direct from us please email cservice@homedics.com.au Attention Kelly. Please note we do not have available separately the pumice stones so a full swap would be needed. If you have any further questions please let me know. Kelly Customer ServiceIf you happen to live near Manly 2095 you are welcome to have mine. It's never been used, I haven't even attached it to the spa.
Thanks but I am in Victoria
Can you put Epsom salts in this foot spa?
I sure do! It certainly gives me a good week relief of muscle soreness and cramps. After using with epsom salts for 2.5 years, I am starting to see some issues probably related to the quantity of salt...
Read more in the water and I never flushed it out with fresh water afterwards. In hindsight, I should have. Issues I am seeing, the bubbles don't come out when the pump works. No a big drama, as I found the bubbles were too noisy when trying to listen to the TV! Heater doesn't seem to be as warm. Having said all this, I would definitely buy it again as it is much cheaper than going to a flotation centre.I have put ginger in it. It works. I suggest wash immediately after use.
