Pedicure Foot Spa Bowl with 5 Liners, Vibration & Timer

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.

I wanted a quiet, warm foot soak and I got it with this one! I don't use the vibrator part, I wanted it quiet... the vibration is pretty gentle, but also pretty quiet. (I've returned others that were so loud even if you weren't using the vibration/massage.) This one comes with the plastic inserts and metal carrier, which I think you have to have. I use it for personal use, so just rinse the insert and try to use as long as I can...

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)

Confession: 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 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!

Perhaps this is something everyone already knows, but a "nice" home foot spa really isn't appropriate even for light-duty, low-volume professional use. On the plus side, I got a few months of use out of it before I figured that out. So, what are you supposed to use? Not really knowing, and not really having anyone knowledgeable to ask, I started looking through reviews on Amazon - and ended up at the Footsie Bath Foot Spa Pro Elite Sirus, Black. Although it may not seem like an important requirement, my top priority was finding a foot bath that fit at the base of my LCL Beauty Hydraulic Lift Adjustable Pedicure chair. The second criterion was to find a bath that supported non-proprietary liners. Though Footsie Bath does sell their own liners, you can use generic ones (even in the basket). Nice. Finally, the bath had to not die. While my old unit didn't exactly die, it didn't respond well to additives. The Footsie Bath has no such issues. Generally speaking, it's easy to say that the unit is kind of overpriced. There isn't much to it, after all, but the appeal is that it's basic enough to be durable. The controls are simple, and the aesthetic is plain. The design is fine, for the most part. The liner system is handy, for example. The worst feature is the heating. If you aren't going to use the liners, I guess it may be fine. However, if you ARE using the liners (and I'd imagine that you really should be using them, in a licensed environment) the heating isn't really effective. Start with hot water and you will be fine through the service, though. Presumably, there must be better foot spas. However, at this price, I couldn't find a better one. It's not perfect, as it would be nice to have working heat, but the anticipated longevity is really what I need. Aside from that, the ability to use generic liners is awesome, and cuts down on my operating costs. Recommended.

It is quiet and easy to clean, while it works well. Short of a plumbed unit, this is nice.

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.
