   REVISED – please see second update, December 18, 2012

   This review is from: HoMedics FB-300 Jetspa Elite Pedicure Spa (Footspa with heat) (Health and Beauty)

   I read through all the reviews before I purchased this item, and I made sure to carefully test the product against all the criticisms with a stop watch and a cooking thermometer. Here are my results:

   Heat – If you start off with tolerably hot water (110 degrees) and use the heat and bubbles setting, the water will cool to body temperature in about ten minutes. If you start off with the same tolerably hot water and do NOT engage the heat and bubbles, the water will cool to body temperature in about eleven minutes – roughly the same amount of time. And since you can’t engage the heat without also engaging the bubbles (and it’s the bubbles that cool the water so quickly), you just need to accept that this is a ten-minute foot bath.

   Attachments – I used all three attachments, and found it much easier to use them when I added a few drops of liquid soap to eliminate the friction. It took a while to get the hang of it – the correct amount of pressure to apply, positioning my foot properly, etc. – but once I did, I found they worked very well. The pumice stone in particular produced significant results after only one use.

   Also, I telephoned the manufacturer and was assured this product is pba-free.

   Update – the first unit stopped working after a about ten days so I exchanged it. The process took about a week, and the second unit is working fine.

   SECOND UPDATE – the replacement spa also malfunctioned – this time it took a month – so I have to change my initial review from five stars to one.

   (UPDATED) Total value item. I looked for these a few months ago and units costing $100 more were reviewed much worse. This is totally great and does the job. I have beautiful feet after two days. Two days. Put down a towel folded in half on the floor under the unit for when your feet come out. Start with the hottest water you can stand–probably 120 degrees. TRICK: put some Miracle of Aloe Miracle Foot Repair Cream (8 oz) on the Pedicure brush tool in the center. When you are done in a couple of minutes with the bubble action on, Pedicure your feet on the Homedics Brush Tool with a small amount of the Miracle Foot Repair cream on top. Don’t put your feet back in the bath as some of the cream will come off in it. You’ll get feet with baby skin in a couple of days. It’s so great in the mornings on cold days, too. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
   P.S. I add two drops of dish soap to the water and one or two tablespoons of Epsom Salts and this reconditions the skin on my feet and improves my circulation to the point where I no longer have loss of sensation in my feet as I had before.

   the bubbles are great, the massager is nice, but the water doesn’t even stay warm for 10 minutes. very disappointed.
