Review Date: May 10, 2006

Reviewer: A. S. Hood, Maryland, USA

I have had a job for the last nineteen years that requires me to stand on my feet for the majority of my workday. Recently, I noticed that at the end of my shift my feet HURT more than usual. They began to throb. Two weeks ago I decided to purchase a whirlpool foot spa similar to the one at the salon where I get my pedicures. I wanted to pamper and rejuvenate my arhing feet at home at my own convenience without the added cost of going to the nail shop. My criterion: (1)water level deep enough to immerse my ankles, (2)powerful water jets,and (3)a heating element that would enable the water to stay heated for periods up to two hours. The Aqua-Jet Foot Spa has met all my requirements. In addition, the handles make it very easy to move and lift the spa when full. This unit is a bit more expensive than the other foot spas on the market, however, well worth the money!

Satisfied

My wife wanted a foot spa and I began my search via the web and noticed that most people weren't pleased with their foot spas they complained of loud noises, jets (i.e. bubbles) were not powerful, or just plain cheap.I decided to give Sharper Image or Brookstone a try. Sharper Image claimed that their spa kept the water warm but were out of stock (a good sign) but I wanted one immediately and gave Brookstone a try. My wife loved it! She frequents the nail salons for pedicures and stated that this machine was just like the ones at the salon in regards to features and comfort. She was VERY thankful. I have also experienced the jets and the water temperature and it works as advertised. You won't be dissatisfied. There are cheaper ones but IMHO this is worth the money. Enjoy.

well worth it.

after carefull review of several brands and types of these I bought this on based on the reviews. dead -on! I'm glad I spent a little more because I feel like it is a good quality product.
I just got it last night and I cant wait to get home and use it again tonight. I have a typeII ankle sprain and a high ankle sprain and have been wearing foot braces for months and this is just what I needed.
Its not deep enough to cover my entire ankle, but for a guy with size 12 feet it is plenty big enough.
this thing is huge! water temp got very warm and the jets worked great.

Another positive review...

Reviewer: T. Sparkman,

Like many others, I chose this product based on all the positive reviews about it. Not only were there more reviews for this product than for most of the other units, all of them were positive. Having bought and used it now, I have to agree. I am adding my recommendation to the others. It is a great product. Though it is a bit pricey compared to the many, many other models to choose from, I don't regret spending the money for it. It is everything I expected. It heats the water from room temperature, and maintains the temperature comfortably. The water jets are powerful, and the unit is relatively quiet. I have nothing but praise for this product.

A+

First, this is a big and cumbersome.... but second, this is the best foot spa. Got it for the wife and had to try it myself. I am a wuss when it comes to super hot temps and I had to ease into the heat, it stayed hot the entire time. The jets were nice and the wireless remote is priceless (just make sure its in your hand when you sit down so you don't have to move an inch :) ). The rollers on the bottom are nice too. It gets loud when on high-jets mode, but nothing to grand. Fast shipper, would recommend.
