Dr. Scholl's Invigorating Pedicure Foot Spa

Like many out there, I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this foot spa.I was originally looking for a unit that would heat my water, but after reading many reviews, I decided a unit with a water heater wasn't worth the price. After all, I have hot water at home.Does it keep my water warm? No. Not really sure what they mean by "smart heat". Start it off with hot water (as hot as you can handle). The water will start cooling down within 4-5 minutes.Bubbles are a nice feature. If you're expecting a jet stream, you need to pay a lot more money. The bubbles on this unit are strong enough to make the foot soak enjoyable.Pumice stone. There's nothing special about it. You're better off purchasing one that's larger and possibly a little more coarse. But I do rub my heels on it.Rolling massager. I like it. The only thing I'd change about it would be the placement. It's almost a bit awkwardly positioned so you can't move your foot up and down easily. However, when your feet are tired, it feels good.I've had the unit for 3 weeks. I've used it just about every single night and I soak my feet for 20 minutes. It's still working.I turn the bubbles feature on for about 3 minutes, then shut it off, wait 3 minutes and turn them back on. If you read the manual, you're not supposed to leave them running for more than 20 minutes at a time.Even if the bubbles stop working, the unit will still work for soaking my feet.Oh and the five-piece set for beautiful feet...It's a nice bonus. I would have purchased the unit with or without them.

Disclaimer (I’ve now had this pedicure bowl for 5 yrs and have used it throughout— still works like when I bought it..) the pumice at the top fell off when I was dumping the water out in this last yr, which I don’t care about. Love all the extra pedi stuff it came with, brush for feet, etc.I’ve really used this a lot since not going to the nail salon during this Covid-19 pandemic. Love that I can take care of my feet in the comfort of my own home and in a sanitary foot bowl that’s for me only. Really has made me cut going to the nail salon out. And my husband loves it bc he knows a shellac mani/pedi after tip can cost upwards $70 so money as well as safety- preserved!! The bottom of the bowl heats up when you constantly keep your feet there you will feel it. (Doesn’t keep the water warm though).Cons: not really, but in case you think it’s quiet- it’s not really. Not quiet enough that if it’s first thing in the morning and nothing is on you will hear it (like white noise in the background). Bc it has jets, if you use too much soap- can get really bubbly and bubble over.None of this bothers me.. for the convenience and money saved- I‘d get this in a heart beat!!

It's okay. It's not a replacement for a Swedish masseuse rubbing your feet with oils from the lotus flower or anything like that. But for under $30 it does a good job of helping you relax a little at the end of the day.The bubble works. It's not super loud. The heater is useless, but putting hot water into it in the first place solves that problem. The water gets cooler in about 20 minutes, but that's about as long as you want to use this thing anyway. So no harm no foul there.Ultimately it it cost $50 or more it would be a poor value. For under $30 it's a winner.

Like others have said, it doesn't heat, so be sure to put water in as hot as you can tolerate. For me, it serves the purpose of soaking, but not much more. Biggest negative for this "value priced" foot spa is that the water overflows behind your feet, so be sure to use towels or other absorbant pad in place before use. As for the extras included, the nail clippers fell apart immediately when adjusting for use, so were useless. The nail brush is so fine, I also found useless and discarded. The bubble circulation is so-so, but adding Epsom salt and/or essential oil, it does work for a short foot rehab.
