Product Reviews of Conair FB12NR Ultra Massaging Footbath with Water Jet

Product Review: Can't quite relax...
Summary: 2 Stars

I've always loved a hot tub of water to soak my feet at the end of a long day, and thought that adding some whirling jets and vibration could only add to the luxurious experience. Well, the time honored "simple is better" adage holds true here too. The item is big and bulky and by the time it has the water in it, it's heavy too. The basin doesn't seem deep enough, as my ankles stay dry (ankles need love too!). Also, the cord on the machine is relatively short considering you want to be sitting in a comfy chair at the same time. So you either need to hope your furniture is situated near an outlet, or drag out an extension cord. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, my biggest issue is the noise. Now, I didn't expect total silence from a vibrating machine, but this thing is LOUD...and I have a really hard time unwinding when I'm listening to an incessant and loud hum. Also, the water really doesn't stay very warm. Overall, I would recommend sticking with the tried and true plastic tub of (motionless) water.

Product Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars

This product disappointed me in two important areas: very weak vibration (which I view as the most important element in a relaxing foot treatment), and maintenance of water temperature (the unit could not maintain more than a low tepid temperature)

Product Review: Doesn't have storing area for attachments
Summary: 1 Stars

That is another thing that is not good about this one. it has like 4 attachments, plus feet inserts that do not have any where to be stored in the unit. For me, that is a real pain cause it means I have more stuff to find room for and more stuff that can get eaten by our dog or lost by our 1 yr. old. The Dr. Scholl's one has a compartment for those attachments as well. I am telling you, that one is better in all ways! I should go work for Dr. Scholl!Also, those loofah things in the front, are useless. they do not offer much for roughness and i am sure would need to be replaced within a few uses otherwise they would get nasty! yuck. horrible design this thing has!

Product Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best gift I gave myself in years. This foot bath has everything one can wish: Massage, pleasant vibration, water jet, scrubbing pads, water is continuously warmed. This model is similar to the top of the line model by Homedics, but in my opinion it looks better and is slightly larger. It is built of sturdy and smooth plastic and includes three rotating attachments for pedicure: pumice, brush and massager. Attachments are activated by the foot pressure and require some practice before you feel comfortable with it. The water temperature is maintained a little bit colder than I would choose but still pleasant. I use soaking salts from "Bath and Body Works". Overall this is a heavenly experience after a buisy day if can give yourself 15 minutes after kids go to bed.

Product Review: Good Value for the Money
Summary: 4 Stars

OK, let's be honest people. This, nor any other home product, is going to give you the same results as the commercial grade foot spas used at salons. But, it does do a more than adequate job for at home use. I suggest that you place the unit on a towel and fill it with water a little warmer than you normally prefer. This will allow for the cool down of the water as the heat is activating. The unit does maintain water temperature but does not heat the water. The vibration, bubbles and water jets all work as described and are very soothing. Your feet will feel energized and relaxed after being in the foot spa. The pedicure attachments hang conveniently on the side of the unit and work either dry or wet.

For a $50 investment, this will allow you to soothe or warm your feet in the winter months.
