Rating: 3 out of 5

This is the first footbath I have ever had. There are a lot of them on the market and I did not want to spend $100 on my first one. I found it a little to small for my feet, not the lenght of it, but the height. The water just barely covers the top of my foot, moreover the water got cold after a while, it is noisy and the bubbles were not that strong. However, if you consider the price and what you get it is not a bad product. I believe that ratio between product quality and price is among the best on the market.

Not much more to say besides the title - I use it several times a week. Don't turn it on late at night if you live in an apartment.

I use this foot spa whenever my feet are sore and angry, and it's always successful at soothing my aches away. Also, the attachments are fun to play with. I'm really glad I own one of these.

I ordered this since I left my old one behind as I was moving. The product is not bad but much smaller than the one I had earlier. For women it is o.k., but for men with larger feet the space is way too tight.

In several reviews it was mentioned that the unit does not heat up. Instructions say that it will NOT heat up water, but keep the temperature. Therefore these complaints are unjust.

It is easy to carry and empty. Generally a good product but the next one I will buy in a store to check on the size.

If you expect the heating element in this unit to heat your water, forget it. I still love this foot massager. I didn't find the unit too loud (and I'm in my early 30s, so not deaf).
I would suggest buying or using some sort of salt solution though...it makes the spa that much better. I also usually boil two cups of water and keep it handy after filling the spa with my hottest tap water. That way, the temperature is kept hot enough for the ~30 minutes max you would want to use it.

Have had this for 2 weeks. First use, OK, felt good, nice bubbles but the attachments for the top didn't connect tight enough to stay on when you ran your foot over it. The attachment for inside the tub felt uncomfortable. Second use, felt good until I turned on the bubbles, not working on right side. It does keep the water warm. Now I have a foot spa from many years ago, no bells, no whistles just bubbles- it splashes all over the floor, is big & heavy plus water gets cold in minutes so you bale out & pour in hot water to keep it warm. The Dr. Scholl's is small, light weight but big enough for hubbies size 12 feet & comfortable to use if you just want to soak your feet with vibration plus water does stay warm. The foot control is an added plus, electrical cord is long enough, cleaning ability OK.

This foot spa is easy to use, light, and works great. Having said that, it has a few flaws. It is loud, extremely loud with the bubbles on. Sounds like a loud vacuum so I don't use that feature. Another item, though this is more of a personal thing, the various massage plates hurt my feet. They rest a bit too high in the arc and really dug into my feet so I don't use any of them. The nubs on the bottom of the foot spa only bother me if I've had my feet in it too long.

The Dr. Scholl's DR6624 Toe-Touch Foot Spa with Bubbles and Massage is really relaxing and easy to use. All I need to do is fill it with warm water and Dr. Scholl's does the rest. It feels wonderful and no more pain in my feet for a while, and that's GOOD for me. Everyone should have one of these, and this is better than sliced bread!!!

I enjoyed this foot spa very much, because it stays warm for a while, you can use bath salts, and the bubbles feel great. Although if you turn in the bubbles it doesn't stay as warm as with the vibrations. I recommend this product.

This product I found to be quite rewarding for feet that need some extra TLC and the noise is tolerable (I've tried another and it was atrocious--plus didn't work that well). I did soak my feet for about ten minutes and felt quite a difference!

Thank you Dr. Scholl!

Wife used it and just like other reveiws listed here, it is noisy like a vacum and does not keep water warm. If you do buy this, I suggest using it on a thick rug or towel to lessen the noise/vibration a bit as it can easily be heard many rooms away. Wife says it's ok and does soften her feet, but you could do that with a bucket and hot water. The bubbling option appears to be the only useful option this device offers. Wife does not care for most of the attachments that comes with this product.
Overall good, The only complaint is the noise. - Review written on February 05, 2008

Overall the foot spa is good, just a little bit noisy when it is turned on. But it is much noisier if you turn on the bubbles, as noisy as a vacuum cleaner. So I just don't turn on the bubbles.

For $25 vs the $99 Brookstone spa model on here that got a decent review, I decided to save $74. What turned me off on the $99 model by Brookstone CANNOT use bath salts or bath bomb bits or whatever - this model can. Its relatively simple in its design, and if you enjoy adding additives to your water to make your foot spa more enjoyable like myself, you might want to consider this.

So far, I think this did its job. One, it does keep the hot water warm for a pretty long time, about 25 minutes or so. Its vibrate feature is gentle so its not a "deep massage" but I found that my feet DID feel better afterwards, it could be a little bit better, I would give that a B+.

I have flat feet so this model was deep enough to cover my feet completely so I was pleased with that.

The yellow button is a little wonky for working with your toes unless you are more dexterous than me, but I used my heel to turn it on and off with ease.

The bubbles are pleasant and don't cause splashing, I tried this on a hardwood floor and now feel safe about using this on carpet.
As for the bubbles feature being noisy, it isn't anywhere near as noisy as a vacuum, its a definite hum but I have heard fans on laptops noisier than this. It isn't so loud you cannot enjoy music over it! So that didn't bother me at all either.

I am giving it four stars minus one star because I had to return the model I got due to the right foot not bubbling. Beyond that, I am happy with my purchase enough to return it and try again with the same model, which I think counts for something.
Worked for me, as well. - Review written on June 09, 2007

WARNING: NOT for persons with diabetes or if you have an open cut on the foot. (From the tag on the AC power cord.) Do NOT stand up in it -- it will break from your weight! (From the manual.) Recommended session length: 10 min. Max time turned on for one session: 20 min (from the manual). That said, it works for me. I used the elbow test to select desired tap water temperature, poured it into the foot spa, and turned on the vibrator/heater. Ten min. later -- enough for me -- temperature seemed the same to my elbow. The spa is very noisy when the "bubble machine" function is turned on; sounds like a 1950s vacuum cleaner. I'll do without that feature. It holds five pints of water to the --MAX-- fill line; its design makes it v-e-r-y easy to lift and empty without fear of spill.

I was just looking for a way to get rid of the calluses on my feet, so I figured a foot spa was a good start.

I've read various reviews elsewhere about foot spas, and the Dr. Scholl came up as a favorite, so I'd figure I'd try it.

I'm not sure what people expect from foot spas, but I liked this one a lot. The unit has a lot of places to hold it, which is a big deal if you want to put water in it and move it to where you can get the thing to work. A lot of water can be VERY heavy, but you actually don't need much for this unit. There are lines on the interior for the amount, which is probably a few quarts at most.

The unit has a plastic hood thing where the touch-toe controls are located. You can turn it to massage and a very nifty bubbles massager thing. The interior where you place your feet has all these nubby things on it, where you can do a little self-massage. There are also spaces on both foot recepticles where you can place two different foot massage attachments. One has a raised cylinder that spins when you rub your feet against it; it looks like something like a small hamster wheel. That one, I didn't like because it's so high you can't rest your feet at all in the water. The rubbing action didn't help at all. There's another insert with just nubs on it, like the nubs in the bottom of the foot spa. This is much more comfortable, and does what the nubs do: a good place to rub the soles of your feet.

I used a peppermint foot bath additive that was okay (this is something I added; it's not included with the foot spa.) The additive was okay, not something I'd pay for again, but the bad thing about it was that it impeded my use of the bubble mechanism. Everytime I hit that, the peppermint stuff FOAMED up ridiculously and spilled out of the foot spa.

That's a shame, because the nicest thing about this device is that bubble mechanism. it really IS a pleasant sensation (so next time, if I add anything to the foot bath, I'll make sure it's NON-foaming!)

You have to put HOT water in this. The massage control also has a heat controller. It does NOT, as the directions say, make cold water hot. It does, however, keep hot water hotter longer. I used this for 20 minutes the first time around, and the very hot water I used was still nicely warm when I was through.

Cleaning this is a bit of a bear. The blue shield that houses the control device and helps keep the water warm is not removable. That means you have to go slinging around inside the device to wash and dry it. Just a nuisance, and not enough to turn me off this foot spa.

The cord is sufficently long, and it wraps around the elevated feet of the unit for storage.

The only other thing I'd mention is when you wash it out, be SURE to tip it almost upside down to get rid of the water. The thin blue strip that runs down the center of each of the foot areas is where the bubbles come out; that seems to hold quite a bit of water even after you're done emptying it. Just turn it over and give it a good shake, and that'll take care of it.

All in all, I'd recommend this. It's pleasant, it works well, and the softened calluses were easy for me to pumice off after a 20-minute soak.

A big disappointment.After filling with hot water as instructed the water temp cooled off immediately regardless of the "warmer" as advertized.It was too shallow to cover the feet if massage attachments were in place.I returned it for a refund.
