Homedics Bubble Mate Foot Spa, Toe Touch Controlled Foot Bath with Invigorating Bubbles and Splash Proof, Raised Massage Nodes and Removable Pumice Stone

I Love This
I seriously thought about calling a nail spa and asking what they would charge to let me just sit in a chair and soak my feet in bubbling water.  No pedicure.  Pedicure is $40, which includes maybe a 6-minute foot soak.  Business is slow, especially Monday through Thursday, so maybe they’d rent me the chair and bubbly soak for $15 or $20.  Once.  So I decided to see what was available to own.  To use as often as I wish.This is it.  My own foot spa with bubbles.    I love it!The only fault I can find with it is it’s a tad noisy.   But as I sat relaxed I soon thought of it as white noise, something I could meditate to and thus let my spirit dance right along with my happy feet.For the cost of 1 and a half  nail salon chair rentals I now have my own footspa.  It is everything I’d hoped it would be.Using it in the evening before bed, I discovered when my feet are happy, I sleep better.  The instruction booklet is useful and informative.  It says not recommended for diabetics.  I am diabetic.  I think that’s a clause for insurance purposes, as it is possible for someone with advanced diabetes to have no sensation in their toes or feet.  They could start with water that is too hot.  They could have ulcers or blisters on their feet that need to be treated medically.    Also, as per instruction booklet, the footbath will not heat cold water.  I find that  filling with warm, nearly hot water to the fill line, putting my feet in and turning it on, the water retains the warmth for 10 to 15 minutes.   Possibly longer, but I found that a 10-minute bubbling soak  does wonders for my feet.Lastly, booklet says do not put any additives in the water.  Possibly something might clog the jets.  But I put in a splash of white vinegar, on recommendation by my podiatrist.    If anything, I’d think it would keep the jets clean and humming.   

Good buy
Great quality. Bubble power great. Easy to use. Did not give a five star review just because sucks for storage. Purchased a second which is collapsible.

Best Kept Secret For RLS Relief?
I had purchased an almost $200 foot spa prior to this one with all the bells and whistles and it was the most uncomfortable experience and did not have the vigorous bubble therapy I really wanted. I returned it and purchased this for $16.It’s extremely comfortable to use while sitting on the couch, no cutting into my calves, even when I relax my legs. It doesn’t have any automatic rollers or shiatsu massagers or a remote control (which would be awesome and I’d pay for it). The little nubs are basically useless to me. And it’s pretty noisy, but I don’t mind the noise.I used to LOVE and enjoy pedicures, but I now have a horrible case of restless leg syndrome (usually at bedtime) and planter faschitis in one foot that makes pedicures more painful than pleasurable. I read that using a home foot spa (among other things) might help.I have been using this in the evenings right before bed, adding magnesium bath salts to it as well as essential oils (for a pleasant olfactory experience). I use the pumice stone plus a callus remover weekly and then slather my feet and calves in magnesium lotion.While not a cure for my issues, it certainly helps me relax before bed and the foot and calf massages with the magnesium lotion aid me in falling asleep faster than if I didn’t use them, which is a miracle in itself (you know what I mean if you have RLS).I put a half full 5qt pot of water on the stove until just before boiling to pour into the spa, adding another 1/4 of the pot full of cold water. It holds heat for almost the entire time I use it (about 30 mins). Clean up is easy: dump it out and spray an all purpose cleaner over it and rinse. I let it dry in my tub overnight.The bubble therapy is exceptional, but you can’t cover the holes. Make sure to lay down a towel, it’s a bit messy. Don’t waste your money on something else. This is the best thing I currently have in my arsenal for RLS and foot pain relief (in conjunction with medication).

Easy and relaxing home spa
The Homedics Bubble Mate is perfect for a relaxing foot bath at home. The bubbles and massage nodes feel great, and the removable pumice stone is very practical. Easy to use and splashproof. My feet appreciate it, I recommend it

I found after a few minutes of the bubble being on, there was an electrical smell, like the battery was over heating. This was kind of disappointing as I would have liked to keep the bubble on longer.Other wise the size and the depth is good, and I like that it is light to carry.

Je le trouve très bien pour le prix. Même si ne garde pas la chaleur, on met de l’eau chaude et c’est parfait
