Pibbs FM3830A Portable Foot Bath Massager 

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.

This foot spa IS professional grade! And let me tell you something, it gets HOT...very very HOT...so be careful. I left my feet too long in it the first time I used it and when I took my feet out the suddenly became super itchy, sort of like when you're a kid and you play outside too long and feet and hands get really cold and when they warm up they start itching...well, that is what this felt like...it was actually torturous...but the thick callous skin literally rubbed off with ease. I used a laser thermometer and found that the water temp topped out at 114 Fahrenheit...so I just have to remember to turn the heat off periodically as I'm using it. Your feet will actually get used to the heat while you're using it.

I am pleased with my purchase. The foot bath I received today is different from the one pictured, but does match the box it came in. I was displeased to see the price today, $68. I paid $79 four days ago.

The foot bath weighs five pounds. Adding one gallon of water adds 8 pounds. This brings the water level to below my ankle bone. I wear a size eleven shoe and there is plenty of room in length and width. The foot bath will comfortably accommodate a foot that measures 11 3/8 inches long. So get out your tape measure.

I tried using cold tap water first. After one hour on level 3, and no perceptible heating of the water, I gave up and dumped the water out and replaced it with hot water from the bathtub. The foot bath was able to maintain between 104 degrees and 105.5 degrees for the two hours I kept it running.

The foot bath feels and looks well-made. It has two small holes in the bottom of each foot section that provide bubbles. The nubs on the bottom are invigorating. Two rubbery gray foot pads are provided which can be used nubs up or down, providing softer nubs or a smooth surface. Three plastic inserts are included, a rounded cone-shape, a tall nub-shape, and a roller with nubs. I like the roller attachment, but the built in nubs are sufficient to provide accupressure. There is also a hood to prevent splashing, although I didn't use it. The more water you use, the more likely you are to need it.

This foot bath vibrates. It is not too loud. It is easy to carry, dump, rinse and pat dry. I have posted pictures.

After 10 years of another brand, I finally found a footbath that I believed would work. My other one leaked, never heated the water, had too many gadgets on it and was not comfortable to use. I wanted one to keep the water warm, simple massage and a few inches deeper. Well this was the answer. The other reviews convinced me and after using this once, they are correct. When the water starts to cool, turn on setting 2. There are only three setting but I only need what they have. It cleans easily, deeper than others I have seen and it fits my size 12 feet.

I have nothing else to ask for out this. I did not like the price but for footbaths, you do get what you pay for. It is worth it.

Actually, this was a little gift for my girlfriend, who is very attentive to her feet and likes to soak them to soften up and then remove calluses. She was previously using a little bucket...

The product was delivered right on schedule, and several days before we left for an extended weekend on California's central coast. She took her new foot bath massager with us, of course, and I brought an extension cord. Within an hour of our arrival and check-in she was sitting on the patio, overlooking the ocean, enjoying a nice late-afternoon soak with the help of a glass of wine. She thought she was in Heaven...
