HoMedics Shiatsu Bliss Footbath with Heat Boost, Foot Spa Massager, Deep Kneading Pedicure Tub, Vibrating Bubbles with Soothing Heat, Portable at-Home Spa

Pleasantly Surprised
Wow, I love this thing! I had agonized since July about what foot spa to purchase. My husband wanted to get me one for our anniversary since he knew I missed the occasional mani-pedis due to Covid-staying-at-home and asked me to pick out the one I wanted. I immediately went searching on Amazon and got overwhelmed by choices. I wanted one that would be able to keep the water warm, with some massaging action and with bubbles.Did I need one with exact temperature control? It sure sounded good. Massaging devices along the entire bottom of the tub? Why not? Bubble holes all the way? Yes please! Again, overwhelmed by choices and I couldn’t decide from the many options. I would do the occasional searches throughout the weeks and finally, I decided that Black Friday (or sometime that week) would be the time where I finally decide on one.I am glad I waited! I hadn’t seen the Homedics Shiatsu Bliss before and although I was a little hesitant about the non-precise temperature control and concerned about the water not getting super warm, after using it, my feet are so happy. I started by using the Shiatsu massaging action with heat. It worked nicely on my toes and heels but I had to press down a decent amount to get my high arches (not really an issue); it felt slightly warm. I put in a mixture of cold water and warm water so the starting temperature was tepid. I started the bubbles (which were louder than I was expecting) and turned on the Shiatsu massaging again and turned the heat on once more. Wow. The water got warm fast. Delightfully warm. I was impressed. I was worried that it would just keep it the same temperature. No, it legitimately heated up the water and kept it nice and toasty to the point that I had closed my eyes and was ready to fall asleep as my feet were blissfully treated to a nice rubbing sensation in a wet, bubbly wonderland. The only thing that stopped me was when the spa turned itself off after 30 minutes, which is a good safety feature.Overall, I am really happy that I waited to purchase a foot spa and that I found this one. The controls are easy to use and very intuitive. Single press buttons that light up when the feature is active. The foot spa is bigger than I was expecting too, it is much roomier than an older one I had when I was in high school. The Shiatsu massagers are placed in the middle so you can move your foot up and down them and have room (I am a size 9 in women shoes), although to get the back edge of my heels I did have to put my toes on the front wall of the spa. Also, the box says it is a 2 year limited warranty. I would recommend this if people are able to splurge on it!

Exact opposite of what was described, total garbage
Mine arrived with bubbles only working on one side, but that’s not the only reason I am returning it.”Vibrating bubbles” – nope.. more like a few fish bubbles, nothing like a regular foot spa – these are a few tiny bubbles that don’t look like anything, don’t move water around, and if I didn’t know I turned them on, I wouldn’t have even known they were there. That picture showing the water all bubbly, that’s doctored I guess, not a real image.”Deep kneading pedicure” – no clue what they mean by “pedicure”, but I can say that the swirly round things at the bottom are NOT deep kneading. They don’t knead at all.Soothing Heat – I didn’t feel any heat really. I don’t know what they’re talking about.”Toe-Touch Controls” – nope… You CANNOT get the controls wet.. so obviously, that’s a description error or something. Instructions say to only use “dry hands” and not to get the controls wet at all – which btw, is impossible with a foot spa.As for this imaginary fill line they say you can’t go above, I didn’t see any line in there, but even filling it halfway was a joke – WATER DOES NOT COVER YOUR FEET no matter what you try. This is for miniature fairies I think. Not adult humans with size 9 shoes.

Fair
Massage feature could be a bit better
