It works as advertised. It has multiple settings, and can heat water for you. I am not crazy about the "massage" hardpoints on the base, but I use the rubber pads smooth side up, and no problem.

I use this with the tea -tree foot powder, having contracted a particularly nasty and stubborn foot fungus in Brazil. My doctor actually suggested that I use full strength bleach for about a week and then use strong over the counter fungal preparations. I tried bleach but it didn't really seem to help. My doctor did not want me to use prescription medication, because it can be harmful to the liver.

Using this and I find that a 30 minute soak daily softens the nails, and allows me to scrape out the thickend sections allowing the following day's treatment to get deeper. I have not solved the problem yet, but my nails are noticeably thinner, and easier to manage. I figure this will take a couple of months before it resolves itself...and by then, it's back to Brazil!

If there are any deficiencies, you have to pour the water in and out - the front under the blue cover is a spout for pouring water out. A little messy, but it works.

Been 18 months now...and Tea Tree salt and foot bath have solved my problem. Nails are normal looking. Although my doctor wanted me to try Bleach - I should thank him for not prescribing anti fungals that can cause other issues. It just takes some persistance to get it done.

great item, good price! LOVE it for the heat. too hot? turn off the heat, and it cools down fast. turn it back on, and it heats again quickly. this unit is worth every cent. a very good buy! my sister, has had more than a few, I let her try this unit, and she ordered one for herself immediately, complaining the others just didn't get hot. I have size 11.5 feet, and it will handle size 12 no problem. instead of using the bungee type cord holder, (the cord actually wraps around the base) I used it to hold up the edge of the towel I placed underneath to hold it at the top edges. you really don't need it, but the first few times I wanted to see if there was any water spilt while using. there is none. looking forward to using out on the deck with cold water as well. easy to clean, say's you can use oil and salts. I use salts, and after rinsing, I run it for a few minutes with clean water, and just wipe it down. it has a front cover to prevent splashing, but I don't use it, it doesn't splash, and gives easier access. lastly, the few little gizmos that you can plug into the middle really don't do anything, unless you have an itch. service?, impeccable as always.

The whole unit seems durably constructed. I unpacked it carefully, fully expecting to return it. I'm pleasantly surprised.

after reading all the reviews i was worreid about getting a footbath. the cheap ones didnt seem to work well and the ones that worked well seemd really expensive. Then i stumbled on this one. Which is about in the middle of the price range. The heating coil works *very* well and the massage function is nice. Its got little plastic massage nubs on the bottom of the tub which are hard, smaller rubberized ones can be inserted which are softer, or you can flip the inserts upside down to have no little nubs at all. Seriously a great investment. i highly recommend it. The only thing i'd like is if it were a few inches deeper, the top of the tub is about level with my ankles, i'd like to have my feet a little more "in"

I have purchased so many Foot Spas and had to return them because they stated with heat. No heat did I ever experience until this one. I actually used it twice tonight. The reason I decided to purchase this was because a posting stated his brow was starting to get hot. Folks I could not believe it but it does get hot..........which is good because the hot water is really what makes your feet feel better. Not hot then getting cold. After using my feet bars after the soak, put them back in and turned it on again. It got hot. Then I turned off and put Coconut Oil on my feet.........I have finally found the item that does what it says.
