I purchased this product because I love the easy sanitation for my mobile business. However, after 6 months the cord retraction function broke (will not stay retracted). I contacted the seller and they told me there is no warranty for this product.This is probably fine for home use, but don’t waste your money for a business.This is the 3rd tub I have purchased for my business. What I mean is this is the 3rd one I've bought in the last 20 years. I always return to this brand because it is light weight, has a expandable cord and most of all keeps my water warm. I use this is my business doing pedicures. I have been in the business since the 80's and this tub is by far my favorite. With the replaceable liners you don't have to worry about cross contamination and carrying this for water is simple. The only problem I have with mine is the vibration mode is a little loud so most of the time I just don't turn it on. But, my water stays nice and warm and this is very important parts to me.I purchased this product ultimately for my husband. My husband has large feet (size 13) and they fit within the tub without any issues! The pull out tray and liner is a great concept, especially for those who plan to use this professionally. It does make cleaning up a lot easier. I did not think the vibration mode was very effective. The heating element did a great job of heating up the lower portion of the tub to the point where it started to hurt my feet. If the unit was on long enough (a really long time), it could have warmed up the water. However, it would be easier to start out with hot water as I did and maintain the water temperature with the heating element. I did not give this product all 5 stars because when I received the product, it was cosmetically damaged due to the packaging from the manufacturer. All in all, I am satisfied with this product.This is an awesome pedi spa! The first one I’ve ever had that actually holds the temperature! Easy to use & clean. The disposable liners in the basket make it easy to carry & empty the water. The liners fold & crush down and easily fit into trash. The liners are thin so you should be careful separating them so you don’t crack or put holes in them. I also purchased the extra pedi liners. I went with the Footsie brand because I read a lot of leaking liner comments, but I’m sure you could buy the cheaper ones, just separate carefully.This is actually the second Footsie Footbath I've had. The first one lasted me about 9 years before it finally gave out which is far longer than I was expecting it to last! I chose this brand over the others because of the great quality and equally great price. I love that they've replaced the wire basket with a plastic one. It makes it even lighter to carry and makes less noise because there's no metal rattling when it's in vibrating mode. I am a nail tech and I work in a very small space so this footbath is PERFECT for me! Ialso highly recommend this for people who don't want the hassle of keeping a standard (jetted) pedicure tub clean. The individual plastic liners are much more sanitary and it makes my clients very happy to know that every liner I use is a new one! I just dump the water out and at the end if the week, I take all of the used liners home to put in the recycle bin. I can't imagine using anything else for my pedicures!I like the item for the most part but the temperature and massaging does not remain on the entire time. I have to keep turning the system back on. And I wish it was a little bit wider for when you’re trying to clean the product off of the clients legs. It’s a bit cramped. But what I like most of all is the liners are disposableConfession: it's only been used once so far. I bought this for my mother for Christmas and I recently gave her a pedicure. This item is pretty light weight and it's easy to use. It does keep the water nice and hot (you must start with hot water, so fill it in the bath first). I LOOOVE the fact that it has liners. It's too bad it doesn't have jets, but the liners mean no nasty fungus or mold, and it's so easy to clean. If you wash out the liner with a little bleach you can use them again (I wouldn't do that if I was a professional but only one or two people use it). The only downsides are the vibration is a little weak, but ok, and the liners while cheap at a dollar a piece, must be bought in a pack of 100 (thus why I clean the liners for a few uses). The retractable cord is great, and it's so easy to set up and put away.This spa is very flimsy. The knobs are loose and it's a very shallow bowl. I purchased this assuming there was a "heating" effect like mentioned but there's not. It blatantly states on the box, in fine print, it does not heat the water. After being aggravated about the non heating feature I decided to see what really happens. First the temperature knob only set to 6. Any other spot, it fell back to zero. It is very loose. So, while having the heat setting set to 6, I decided to add water and test this non heated machine. 2.5 hours I sat in the water seeing if the bottom (or anything) would get warm. Nothing. UNLESS I pressed my heels down hard, then I felt a faint stinging sensation almost like electricity. On to the fill line.... the fill line, I would recommend for one who is 80lbs-95lbs. Men, plus size women and pretty much most of the US will flood their floor of they use the standardized fill line. Only cool thing about this item is the retractable power cord (which, don't let it go, the plug may snap the cheap plastic basin.) I do not recommend for any salon or home use. (This was to be used in a salon)
