Beurer FB50 Foot Spa With Water Heater, Footbath With Infrared Light And Magnetic Therapy, 3 Pedicure Attachments, 5-Level Water Heater, Vibration, Bubble And Reflexology Massage Functions

We were looking for one of these to share between two of us and I was instantly surprised at the high-quality of the product when they open the box. It was also nice to see how easy it was to operate using the three buttons for on/off, temperature, and massage. The only fault I could find with this is that the minimum temperature is a bit too hot and takes a little while to be able to get feet in the water. Otherwise we think it was brilliant and would highly recommend it.

What a great fantastic product. I had a cheaper foot spa and wasen't Very happy with it got cold in minutes. Just like a bowl. This is what I have been looking for, for a long time. I do a lot of walking in my time and this product is my life saver. as soon as I get back from a long hard day at work my feet are straight in there. Keeps the temperature you desire gives a great massage and great with dead salts. Soothing and relaxing. Just simply perfect recommend to anyone who is on there feet from 9 to 5. Go on treat yourself you won't regret it!

I bought this via Amazon Warehouse so I got around 1/3 off the RRP. Firstly I highly recommend buying through the Warehouse deals as from my experience I've received a great product with no damage and with a decent saving. On to the footbath itself, I had been looking for something to replace a basic model. I looked up a few models including other Beurer models but there was nothing else I could find with so many options. It is larger than I expected it to be but I am quite petite and can still lift it to the sink while filled with water. The plug cord can be wound round the feet which is useful. The positives: the number of settings; the massage rollers can be all or partially removed; massage and bubble settings can be used simultaneously, separately or not at all; the water not only stays warm, but if you use cold water it will heat to the desired temperature in around 10-15 mins and the highest temperature (48°) is probably too warm so no worries of getting 'cold feet' (ha ha); time programmes range from 20 - 50 mins in 10 min intervals and switches itself off after this time; straightforward to obtain desired settings; can view current temperature/time left on programme; the pedicure attachments are a bonus (the stone attachment is the best); it makes my feet feel amazing and it's so relaxing. So-so: no convinced about the infrared - haven't noticed anything special about it (except it looks cool!); magnetic therapy - I've read a few articles that don't make much of a convincing case for the usefulness of magnetic therapy except for those with diabetes, but again it does no harm so can't complain. The massage rollers are okay but would prefer mechanic rollers; massage pedicure attachment didnt do as much for me as the other two; the little spikes on the bottom of the footbath aren't uncomfortable but it would be good if there was an option to have a flat bottom too; bubbles can cause some splashing if footbath is filled to MAX line but nothing too major! Negative: price I suppose - yes it does a lot but is it worth £100? I mainly purchased because I got it cheaper than the RRP so for me it was worth it. That said, I haven't been able to find another model with so much to offer. The only thing I found missing was aromatherapy (like the Elle MacPherson The Body footbath) but a good 8-10 drops of peppermint/chamomile/lavender/rose etc essential oil will do just as well I imagine! Also it is well worth purchasing some dead sea salts (search tea tree and peppermint salt in Amazon). Two tablespoons worth will make your feet look and feel heavenly. Overall, a must for anyone who loves a good footbath and is looking for something effective and good at keeping the water temperature steady.

So versatile and really is a lovely item to use. Nowhere near as noisy as the older ones and yes there is some noise but it is not loud or annoying, there has to be some noise as it has a motor in it for the massage and bubbles! Yes it is expensive in comparison to some you can get but you get what you pay for! The rollers can be removed if you don't want them in and I haven't found the stipples on the base to be at all painful, you are just supposed to rest your feet in the bath not apply pressure, use a bit of pressure when the roller are in and your feet don't touch the stipples then anyway. The additional attachments are great and can really stimulate your feet.

Don't waste your money, I have just organised Amazon to collect it for a refund. I have had a few of these types of foot spas in the past (mother in law took the last one after a visit) and have used them for over 20 years. I incorrectly thought that spending more money I would get a better product (I also read some online reviews) but I was so wrong. Problems as I see them: 1. The vibration massage just does nothing - I really cant feel any form of massage or vibration (nor could my young daughter). I can hear a motor going off but it does not induce any form of massage (the water even does not move) 2. The roller in the base are unless unless you want to soak the floor (even then they don't really do much). there is simply no room to roll your feet forwards and back. My daughter found it very uncomfortable to even rest her feet on them! 3. The motorized pedicure attachment again seems okay until you want to use it - you have to manipulate your feet in the right position and push down (hard) on it for it to rotate. Again, be prepared to mop up after. 4. The bubbles are great but if you fill it to the max level be ready to mop the floor again, every so often the spa will throw water out. 5. The water heater is on by default - sometimes I like to have a cold spa and with this product it is not possible. I would have thought for the money I would be getting a better, more usable, product. Even pouring the water out could have been made easier with a slightly better design, the same goes for the corded storage bit (its great you can wrap it around the 'feet' but this is negated by not having somewhere to push home the actual plug). Overall - I think you can get something to match this spending less than a third of the money.

Temperature control, not sure. I put warm water in and it usually maintains that temperature. When I try to make it slightly hotter, I had to turn the control to maximum. On one occasion it got extreme hot, but usually can't tell the difference with the control. Better just to start off by putting in water at the temp you require. Very easy to use, quite self explanatory. Could do with a valve to poor out water instead of having to tip it down the sink. Bubble function makes splashes so make sure the spa is on a waterproof surface, or on a thick towel. Quite noisy, but well worth the money.

I bought this hoping it would help with my feet. My work involves me being on my feet a lot and then with the gym at night the feet can get tired and sore and the skin quite tough in placed. I thought a foot spa would be a good start toward helping my take better care. The problem with them is there are so many to choose from so I decided to go with what sounded like the best. All singing and all dancing. The massage function makes the spa vibrate and I don't feel this really helps that much. Maybe it does and I'm just not aware of it but so far I can see the benefit. The red lights (infrared) on the bottom are supposed to help with blood flow and I have heard of this method being used before. This does work but you have to be using it every day to get the proper results of this. That said, blood flow to the feet was never a problem for me but I suppose it doesn't hurt to give it a boost. The bubbles are good. They do exactly what they say they'll do. It feels relaxing. The heating function works really well. It does take a while for the water to properly heat but it does a great job at keeping the water warm. My main gripe with this foot spa is the comfort. Let's be blunt here...you're supposed to put your feet into the spa, sit back and relax and let it do its work. Only it isn't that simple. This spa has rollers on the bottom you can roll your feet over to help massage but also has little nubs sticking up which I guess are supposed to help the feet in one way or another but...honestly?...I found it really uncomfortable. I'd be sitting and find myself moving my feet around every 10 seconds or so. Yes you can take the rollers out but should you have to at this price? I guess it wouldn't be uncomfortable if your feet were covered in skin so thick you couldn't feel them but I struggle to see why that should be the case. For the price they're asking for this I expected something a little better. If you want a foot spa, save some money and buy one a lot cheaper that will more than likely do the job just as well.

i bought this because i suffer from an arthritic club foot( 3 ops) this is a great product esp with the salts i bought,the only downside is the temp goes up 3 degs a time,i would prefer a little more versatility on the temp,but it works great for my foot. I also have to wear trainers,and steel capped trainers in work,which can cause athletes foot,this also helps stop that. only other downside is the weight once water is in it,fine to fill up but would be hard to empty if i had arthritic hands,but that seems the same with all of these products, no real way around that though.
