DISAPPOINTING -- Don't expect a long relaxing soak
When I bought this foot bath, I expected it to keep the water warm, and I liked the idea of bubbles which I find relaxing. The problem exists because this device does nothing to keep the water warm. All sides of the box proclaim "WITH HEAT" in red italics, which indicated to me that it had an effective heat element of some kind. Not so, my friend. The instruction booklet warns that it won't heat cold water (of course not), and I started with very warm water (almost hot).  I did expect the so called "heat" to keep that water fairly warm. Unfortunately, this product doesn't even come close. The water gets cool within about 15 minutes. If all you want is a quick soak, this might work for you. I did call HoMedics, and their customer service department couldn't have cared less. The way the customer service rep explained it was that it would help to maintain the heat of the water, but only for a short time. I found the temperature drop off so fast, that I doubt it does anything at all.  So if you want to keep the water even slightly warm, you should buy another product. This one is INFERIOR.
