Does anyone use a foot spa at home?

I did actually buy one, but returned it without using as it was quite cumbersome! I continue to use a large bowl and add deep sea salts and essential oil and a ped egg deals with the hard skin. Thank you for all your responses.

I wonder if rosemurray and sophiemurray are somehow related ???

Does the murray family sell saltwater hot tubs ?? ??

I love my foot spa, bought years ago and forget the make. It can have vibration, bubbling or just heat and has rollers on the bottom that you can move your feet over for massage. My feet feel wonderful when I use it (about once a month). Wouldn't be without it!

I love mine. No idea of the make but it used to belong to mil so it's getting on a bit. I fill up to required level with warm water, add some nice oil, a minute amount of bath bubbles and occasionally throw in Epsom salts or equivalent. I put mine on a large towel in front of a comfy chair making sure it can reach a plug socket. I always have to hand moisturising cream, toenail clippers also a good book. It's got different settings and I usually try most of them. I can sit there quite happily reading until water eventually cools. My feet are happier for it and would replace in an instant if it ever broke down.

I can recommend a hot tub with salt water, I bought it a year ago for my birthday. Because, why not.

I purchased a large washing up bowl ...put a towel under it ..full it with Luke warm water from previously boiled kettle..then top up with hot if needed .Add some Radox or Badedas & settle down to watch something on telly.Cheap as chips .

I was given one that sprung a leak! Now deal with my annoying hard skin foot problem by soaking in hot water and Epsom salts in a bowl for 10 minutes. Attack feet with a ped egg. Lots of moisturiser and socks afterwards. It’s not something I want anyone to witness me doing! But it’s cheap, effective and my feet say thank you afterwards!

eazybee does your friend realise you’re not meant to sit in it ?

I use one occasionally but really want to try a leg muscle exerciser but they are very expensive (more than £200 I believe)

My charity shop gets these but they don't often sell.

I've got one and it's never been used. Too much faff really.

I had one as a present about 15 years ago but never got on with it. I just can't see the point of sitting with your feet in water, though I know some people do.

I had one but was too lazy to get it out, fill it etc,I gave it away in the end.

Yes, a champneys one, but at the minute it’s sitting at the back of the cupboard

I had one, and really enjoyed using it, occasionally. The problem is filling and emptying it as it gets really heavy when full of water, and it tends to 'slurp' over when carried.

Mine was one of the ones you probably see in the charity shops now!

Won mine in a raffle. Don't use it often, but it is nice when I do

Oh dear,. eazybee, I think your friend has a problem. Does her husband also use a foot spa?

Lots of theses on fb selling sites for not a lot of money. I have one and don't use it i mainly just grab a old bowl.

Definitely a gap in the market for a spa with wheels and a push down handle.

Well, very encouraging comments from so many. Be careful up that ladder Greyduster when you get it down! Can’t wait to use it eazybee - it arrives on Saturday. (And I’ll be cooking a chicken casserole in the slow cooker on Sunday Phloembundle. I’ll let you know if it’s a hit or a miss.

Mine is a Visio Foot Spa. I keep it in the bathroom, but use it in the living room. Bring Jugs of hot/warm water, buy Foot Soak of various kinds. The Spa massages (vibrates), can create bubbles, and provide heat. There are rollers in the base to help with massage too! Yes, it takes a bit of organising, in terms of bringing a towel, water, and organising a suitable chair - but is SO worth it! A Company called Expert Verdict offer separate "boots", i.e. one for each foot which are not electrical, but obviously can be part filled with warm water and an appropriate "soaking" additive. probably easier to fill/carry/empty, but would also cool in a short period. Just a thought!
