Consider what you are buying....
I hesitated when purchasing this because so many of the reviews were complaints. I gave it a shot anyway and have been pleasantly surprised. Just a few helpful things to consider when buying this:<br /><br />1. It's plastic, so for those who complained about an odor...of course, it's going to smell like plastic. I would hope everyone would know to wash it off in the tub before the first use. After that, I didn't notice any odor.<br />2. This is essentially a reverse vacuum motor - it is going to make noise, a fair bit of noise so if you're looking for quiet - don't buy this.<br />3. Wherever your body puts pressure on the mat, the bubbles are going to stop or not be so numerous because your weight won't allow the mat to fill with air.<br /> I saw complaints that the air coming through the mat was cold and cooled off the water. I have not had that issue at all but I tend to run the water as hot as possible to begin with.<br /><br />All things considered, it's a good product. I have found that a little creative thinking makes it work much better. I place the mat sort of diagonally in my tub. This way it sits directly under my legs but off to the side of the center of my body which allows a lot more bubbles. If you really want a jacuzzi feel - buy two, fill the tub all the way and place the mats on the sides of the tub. ;)
