Pibbs Portable Foot Bath Massager for Professional Salons & Spas, Plumb-Free Pedicure Bath with Vibration and Heating, Detachable Splash Shield, PIB-FM3830A

I am impressed with the results I got, when working with this one. I have some issues with edema and especially in my feet, swelling, after working at my desk for a while.I had gotten this one, because of the temperature setting, at it's highest, is 110 degrees. I also used some Teatree oil epsom salt bath, putting the salts in the water and letting them dissolve, before turning on the circulation pump. No clogs and no issues, as I saw posted before, that they clogged theirs up on the first run. Not an issue at all, if you let the salts dissolve in the hot water "before" turning on the circulation pump.The heat of the water and the salts really helped me, a lot. When I have my spells of swelling, my feet literally go round, just like a latex glove that is blown up like a balloon.After using this foot bath unit, with the Epsom salts for the feet, the very next morning, my swelling had gone down by 75%. Two days after having used the unit and salts, I have no more swelling and I haven't adjusted anything in my diet or my time working at my desk.It made a huge difference for me, in reducing the swelling.I am so glad that I bought this unit. It is well made and designed, very easy to work with, has a long cord and is also quiet. I put it to use, just sitting in my living room, watching a movie.I highly recommend getting one of these, even if you just want to relax at the end of a hard day on your feet. It really does help relieve the stress in your feet and the heat does wonders for doing your pedicure, also.Next test case, my husband, who is a hard critic on any and everything. Although, I must say, he was very impressed with the immediate improvement on the swelling going down in my feet, so fast. That says a lot, especially, coming from him.One of the best purchases I have made, so far.

It works as advertised. It has multiple settings, and can heat water for you. I am not crazy about the "massage" hardpoints on the base, but I use the rubber pads smooth side up, and no problem.I use this with the tea -tree foot powder, having contracted a particularly nasty and stubborn foot fungus in Brazil. My doctor actually suggested that I use full strength bleach for about a week and then use strong over the counter fungal preparations. I tried bleach but it didn't really seem to help. My doctor did not want me to use prescription medication, because it can be harmful to the liver.Using this and I find that a 30 minute soak daily softens the nails, and allows me to scrape out the thickend sections allowing the following day's treatment to get deeper. I have not solved the problem yet, but my nails are noticeably thinner, and easier to manage. I figure this will take a couple of months before it resolves itself...and by then, it's back to Brazil!If there are any deficiencies, you have to pour the water in and out - the front under the blue cover is a spout for pouring water out. A little messy, but it works.Been 18 months now...and Tea Tree salt and foot bath have solved my problem. Nails are normal looking. Although my doctor wanted me to try Bleach - I should thank him for not prescribing anti fungals that can cause other issues. It just takes some persistance to get it done.

This was a waste of money, for me. It gets too hot, so I have to turn it off after 10 minutes. It would be a lot better to just fill a dish pan with warm water from the tap and soak in that for 15 minutes—if you have big feet, use two dish pans and save yourself $80. The “massage” is just annoying. The “bubbles” are imperceptible. The “accessories” are of no value what-so-ever. Instruction booklet is meager, mainly just a list of what NOT to do.

great item, good price! LOVE it for the heat. too hot? turn off the heat, and it cools down fast. turn it back on, and it heats again quickly. this unit is worth every cent. a very good buy! my sister, has had more than a few, I let her try this unit, and she ordered one for herself immediately, complaining the others just didn't get hot. I have size 11.5 feet, and it will handle size 12 no problem. instead of using the bungee type cord holder, (the cord actually wraps around the base) I used it to hold up the edge of the towel I placed underneath to hold it at the top edges. you really don't need it, but the first few times I wanted to see if there was any water spilt while using. there is none. looking forward to using out on the deck with cold water as well. easy to clean, say's you can use oil and salts. I use salts, and after rinsing, I run it for a few minutes with clean water, and just wipe it down. it has a front cover to prevent splashing, but I don't use it, it doesn't splash, and gives easier access. lastly, the few little gizmos that you can plug into the middle really don't do anything, unless you have an itch. amazon service?, impeccable as always.

I LOVE this thing. I spend about $68 a month getting pedicures, when I can afford it. That's $68 for one pedicure, yes, I know. Anyway, this thing is amazing. I know what a very expensive pedicure feels like, I know what the tub feels like, I know quality because I'm never afraid to pay for it. This thing I was worried about because it was so cheap and there were other things out there that looked better. I was a little irritated at first because it took about 10 minutes to heat the water up (lolprincess) when I really could have just put warm water in from the start. I loved it, if you're having doubts because of the bad reviews, just get it and see for yourself. It's a great product for such a reasonable price. Totally want to get one for my diabetic father so that he can soak his feet in this wonderful thing. Also, works great with bath salts, no problems there.
