Waste of money and time
This product doesn't work at all. I wasn't able to get through the first use.<br /><br />- The bubble feature barely produced any bubbles. Demo videos show a roiling bubble bath, but all I got was a single stream of tiny bubbles that shifted around from one of the bubble holes to another. And after a few minutes even that stopped.<br />- The vibrating massage feature worked, for about ten minutes. Then the spa made a muffled clunk and the pitch of the motor changed, after which the vibrations pretty much stopped. In demo videos you can see the ripples on the water surface; after the clunk those ripples were still there only when I took my feet out, and they were much bigger and further apart.<br />- The white rollers are absolutely painful. Hard plastic with spikes. Stupid idea. When they're in place you can't put any weight on them, so you have to hold your feet up. Not relaxing.<br />- If you remove the rollers, there are sharp bits sticking up from where the rollers clip in. They are even more uncomfortable than the rollers, and since there are eight of them they're impossible to avoid.<br />- The attachments do not attach solidly to the center attachment point. Based on the photos you'd think that you could take your foot out and rub it on the pumice stone or other attachments. No, you can't. You'll just knock the stone loose. It's also very awkward if you try, especially since you can't put any pressure down on the other foot because of the rollers. Instead, you can to take both feet out of the bath, cross one leg over the other, and use the stone in your hand to rub your foot.<br />- The edges of the tub at the heel end are too close and sharp. Other folks have mentioned this, but it's hard to describe. If you sit comfortably in a chair with your feet on the floor and a few inches apart, are your knees together or spread apart? If they're spread apart, then when they're in this spa your ankles will be pressed against the hard white rim of the tub which is curved inwards.<br />- Noise issues: the air pump for the bubbles makes a pretty loud whine, even though it didn't produce any bubbles. I imagine the bubbling would be noisy if it worked, but you'd have to expect that. The vibrating motor seemed really noisy at first, but I realized that most of the noise was coming from the attachment with three balls in it. I had it in the attachment compartment, and it made a loud rattling. Once I took it out the motor noise wasn't too bad.<br /><br />The one thing I didn't/couldn't test is the heating feature. The water I put in was already warm, since I didn't want to wait 15 minutes with the vibrations or bubbles on (necessary to turn on the heater) until the water warmed up. I can't say if the heater would keep the water warm because the spa had broken down already after ten minutes. Besides, I couldn't have lasted much longer with the spikes sticking into my feet.
