Things we like
- Unlike most products in the market, the heat feature is operational. The water heating time is short especially when you start with lukewarm water. This should not worry you as you can turn off the heater and proceed to enjoy the temperature it maintains.
- The gentle murmurs the machine produces will not distract you unless you are an individual that has a low tolerance for noise. You can comfortably read a book or hold a conversation comfortably when it is running.

- Most spa machines tell you not to use bath salts. This foot bath massager with heat has no such restrictions. You can use Epsom salt and other essential salts as you like. Clean it with water and soap to prevent any buildup of bacteria or oil residue. To prevent clogging, first, dissolve the salt in hot water before switching on the circulation pump.
- Comes with three appealing settings you can choose from and adjust with a knob according to your needs. There is vibration without heat; heat and water circulation and lastly, heat, water circulation, and vibration. The last setting actually incorporates the first two.
Things we don’t like
- Other competing products in the market have toe-touch functionality. It’s hard to use especially when the water gets too hot, and you need to switch off the heat or adjust it frequently.
- The majority of spa baths do not tell you the water fill line. In most cases, you guess where it should be. Sometimes you are wrong, and sometimes you are Before you eventually get it right, you will spill a significant amount of water.
- Several reviewers say that the splash guard is not tightly-fitting. They quickly fall off when the vibrator is on.
- Reviewers find the manual useless since it does say anything about some objects in the box that come with the massager. You have to figure out how to use the black band and foot pads by yourself.
