Product Reviews of HoMedics BL-150 BubbleSpa Luxury Footbath with Double the Bubbles Massage
Product Review: My mama told me, "You better shop around!"
Summary: 2 Stars
I wish I'd actually shopped around instead of just picking up the only thing the store had when I went in today. For the price, I was pretty unimpressed with what I got. The bubbles are almost energetic enough to feel. The "power jets" are pathetic. The water doesn't stay hot for any length of time. There are lots of bumps on the bottom that are supposed to be massaging, but you're not supposed to stand in the spa, and you can't really get enough pressure on the bumps to be useful without standing. I didn't try the pumice stone or brush, but the spinning massage thing was the most useful bit. However, keeping pressure on it to keep it spinning is challenging while you're moving your foot around to get it massaged. The carrying handle is well done and the control buttons are fine (though they get wet from drips if you're using the central spinning attachments). Given that those aren't the main purpose of the unit, I would not buy this again, nor recommend it to others.Product Review: Not What I Thought!
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband bought this for me as a Christmas present. We ended up returning it at the store today for several reasons.
This product is advertised to be "super quiet." We hardly found it to be quiet. Even though he was playing video games just a few feet away from me, I could still hear the foot spa well over the video games.
This product advertises that it "maintains heat." Just a little over ten minutes, the water was pretty cold and I no longer wanted to use the foot spa because my legs were getting cold as well as my feet. It is quite possible my particular foot spa was broken, but if that is their idea of maintaining heat, they really need to rethink the product.
One of the major disappointments with this product is that it can only be used for 30 minutes at a time to prevent overheating (the product wasn't even hot when I stopped using it). This is not a practical gift for someone who likes to soak their feet/body for long increments of time. When one is trying to relax, watching the clock takes away from relaxation.
While it seems a good idea to have the attachments (pumice stone, etc) attached in the middle of the device, it caused a lot more effort to use it than it should have. It requires a bit of pressure to activate, and my foot kept sliding.
Since I'm pregnant, my feet get sore really easily and I like harder massages. The water massage with this product was like having someone splash water against my feet; there was no massaging effect whatsoever.
I wouldn't recommend this product at all. If I ever do decide to get a similar product, I would consider putting a little more money into it and possibly trying another brand.
Product Review: Not so relaxing...

I must have received a defective product, "4 powerful jets" were barely powerful enough to feel, the "double the bubbles" produced no bubbles, the heating system did not seem to work, and worst of all, the drain plug was not operational and the water leaked out while i was using it, leaving a mess behind. As for the attachments, the only one that was really effective was the brush.Product Review: Simply put.... Garbage!

Bubblers did not feel much different than running water in a tub. And water got cold fast, though it "Says" that it keeps water warm. The pedicure device in the center looks like it might do something, but it just sits there. Doesn't turn or anything. NOT recommended!!!Product Review: User Error
Summary: 2 Stars
Yeah, it may be easier to just go to the spa. With trial and error, I was able to sort of soak my feet before going to a party. The first time I put to much bubbles, then the water was too hot, then to cold. I have carpet in my bedroom and livingroom and this was rather uncomfortable to use in the shower while sitting on a chair. The product itself working as stated, it keeps the water warm, the massage feels good, easy to dry and store. I do have one complaint, it was very hard to remove the attachements from the center strubbing mount.
