It's just "okay" - no great shakes
I read Mr. Whitehouse's review, so was duly warned, but was looking for something affordable to liven up my bath experience. As the previous reviewer said, the unit has a smallish motor so it can't produce real whirlpool-like results. However, I also had the following issues:<br /><br />-The unit attaches to the tub wall using 3 suction cups. One of my suction cups was bent by the packing so that it wouldn't really adhere to the side of the tub. The unit is heavy, and the suction wasn't powerful enough to keep it from sliding down to the bottom of the tub. Even if all 3 suction cups were fully operational, I think the weight would still prevent it from sticking higher up on the tub wall. This is a real issue.<br /><br />-On the first use, all of the lettering/marking on the unit started to rinse off in the bathwater. It's not something that prevents me from using it, but it was a turn off.<br /><br />All in all, I feel like this machine created more frustration than relaxation. I'm going to give it a few more tries, but I suspect this is an $80 device that is going to end up mostly unused until it gets tossed.
