Foot spas typically require water with the main function being to soak your feet, whilst a foot massager does not need water and uses electrical stimulation to massage the muscles in your feet. However, some foot spas have the combination of both with activated foot rollers at the bottom of the foot spa allowing your feet to be emerged in the water and massaged at the same time. Can you put Epsom salt in a foot spa? Warranty: One of the biggest issues we’ve found with foot spas is that they can suddenly stop working after a few months. Good ones should come with at least a year’s warranty. There are several benefits of using a foot spa. Soaking and relaxing your feet regularly can reduce certain foot conditions such as athletes’ foot and plantar fasciitis as well as soothe general aches and pains, improve your blood circulation and much more. It has also been linked to improving your sleep. How often should you use a foot spa? This is ready to go as soon as you get it out of the box, so there will be no need to faff about with complicated instructions – although be warned that it is on the heavy side. Once your feet are in, though, it’s instantly relaxing, with the reflexology foot rollers doing their job on the key pressure points when you move your feet up and down. Vibrations and hydrotherapy jet massage are the icing on the cake, especially for sore, tired feet and those affected by arthritis.Size: Make sure your foot spa can accommodate the size of your feet – some models are surprisingly small. Also consider the height, since some people only like their feet covered, while others prefer their ankles also immersed in water. Another standout feature is the infrared light, not something you’d normally associate with a foot spa, but the light therapy is an additional pro to this foot bath, which allows for a more relaxing experience, due to its circulation boosting properties.

Another size aspect to consider is for storage purposes. Where will you store your spa when it's not in use? Would a foldable foot spa be more ideal and when moving the spa around, is there an accessible handle to do so with? Warranty Additional accessories -- 3 bottles of nail polish and 1 lotion bottle -- add to the storytelling fun Firstly, ask yourself why you are buying a foot spa. If the answer is because your feet are sore, or perhaps you want to improve your blood circulation, then ensuring you find a foot spa that specifically has functions to soothe and massage your feet a certain way is key. For example, you may opt for a foot spa with warm heat settings, foot rollers, vibration control and so forth. If your main goal with your foot spa is to just relax, you may not require a spa appliance with more advanced settings and functions. Settings I have a Beurer one, it's amazing!!!!!! I worked in a supermarket (on maternity atm) and the floor gave me plantar fasciitis to the point I could barely walk at the end of each shift. The foot spa was bliss, it kept the water warm and I could turn the heat up and down, there are rollers on the bottom to massage my feet, I just love it. Even my hubby and kids do, they've all had a good soak in it.” Vetted by Mumsnet user Nsws2015 This foot spa also features an accunode basin and heel pad, which will feel amazing whilst the warm water emerges your feet for total relaxation. A waterproof control and a splash guard takes away the stress of pampering at home, whilst the removable rolling massagers cater to the most tired and sore feet. Unlike other spas, however, there’s only one setting and you can’t choose between temperatures, but for the bargain price we think it has great functionality.

The spa includes a small herbal box to release Epsom salts for a tailored pampering experience, as well as an inbuilt pumice stone to remove dead skin cells. The design claims to help relieve sleeplessness and headaches as well as aching feet. Not only does this foot spa look sleek and modern, but its options of different high-tech functions and settings bring all the luxury of a spa day to you. If storage space is an issue, or you want to travel with your foot spa, this foldaway machine is a great buy. There’s no compromise on size – it’s actually quite large – but it can fold flat when it isn’t in use. The bumpy bottom (which HoMedics refers to as “Acu-nodes”) is good for soothing tired feet, especially when used with the vibration massage, which focuses on the acupressure points of your feet.

Ease of use: Look for waterproof controls, which can ideally be operated via toe-touch or remote control. This will stop you having to bend down and ruin your relaxation. Portability: Most spas are lightweight, but soon become heavy when filled with water. Look for models that have a handle and a built-in drain, too.Prepare for deep relaxation as the bubbles, massagers and deep nodule foot bed aids soothe and pamper tired, aching feet.

The Renpho foot spa is the ultimate multi-functioning, at-home spa treatment you never knew you needed. We found the water stayed warm and the settings – for massage only, heat only, heat and massage, and heat and bubbles – mean you can play about until you find the most comforting option to suit your needs. While it claims to fit up to size 13 feet, bear in mind that this probably won’t leave enough space to make the most of the rollers.

If you are wanting to invest in a more luxurious and high-tech foot spa, then the Rio Scandinavian spa is for you. Your feet will be relieved of any aches and pains as the electric foot massager gets to work with a combination of water, rollers, and heat. We like the adjustable temperature and timer which allows you to choose a setting that works best for you between 35C to 48C, whilst the massage features and jets work to give your feet a good pampering.
