It does what I expected it to do, and for a good price.
I have had this product for 6 months now and have been very satisfied with the purchase. The bubbles seem fine to me, it's no jetted tub, but I wasn't expecting that; vibration mode is quite comfortable but yes it's a bit noisy. If you have the TV on you will probably want to turn it up. The water heater is fabulous, no problem keeping the water warm, or even warming up cool water if that's what you start with. My only complaint is that you can't use just the heater function by itself. It must be used in conjunction with either the bubbles; vibration or both. If not for that I would have given it a 5 star rating. It's light weight, so draining it is easy.
Rating: 4 stars
