Review (3/5): Mine Heats Way Too High on Low
The space-saving feature of this foot spa is its main benefit. And it’s a great feature: it stores in half the space of a regular foot spa.
The foot spa feels solid when it’s expanded. It compresses again after use pretty easily.
There is a remote control that allows you to choose:
1. Heat + bubbles
2. Heat
3. Low, medium or high for the heat
4. Power on or off
What is missing is bubbles only. I could not find a way to use the bubbles without heat. If low heat had been comfortable, then perhaps that would be a compromise. But after about 10 minutes low heat was so hot I had to remove my feet because it was becoming very painful. I cannot imagine what medium or high would do. I do not know if the unit I received has a defective thermostat. If not, then you won’t like heated water unless you’re after the boiled lobster effect for your feet.
Inasmuch as I can’t opt for bubbles without the heat, the only benefit to this foot spa for me would be the rollers across the bottom (they feel pretty darned good) and the space saving aspect (as compared to my non-electric basic foot tub).
