Soothe Tired, Achy Feet: Yes, Please!
The Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath with Heat (FB-350) was purchased as a birthday gift for my aunt. She didn’t like it. She loved it.
Her appreciative response to my gift had me saying, “I wish I had a heated footbath.” Lightbulb moment. I convinced myself to go buy a Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath for myself. So I did.
Homedics Designed This Footbath With Multiple Great Features
I have achy feet no matter what shoes I wear: Walking sneakers, comfort slip-on shoes, even flip-flops. Even worse, I try to avoid wearing shoes at all costs, so I am continually walking on hard, tile floors in my own home. I definitely needed this footbath.
While there are many other footbaths on the market, those items are not collapsible like this footbath! Plus, others sold are from generic brands while the Homedics® brand has been creating amazing products for over 30 years.
Features of the Homedics FB-350 Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath include:
:: Collapsible tub for easy storage and portability
:: Heat maintenance technology
:: Vibration massage
:: Acu-node surface massages feet bottom
:: Anti-collapsible design
:: Spill-proof sides
Soothing Heat Maintains Water Temperature For Added Comfort
The heated water in this footbath is just what my tired sore feet need. Simply fill the basin with warm water, turn it on and the water will heat up. Homedics Heat Maintenance Technology ensures that the water stays warmer longer.
One note: You must fill the footbath with warm water, not cold water. This model will not heat cold water. I don’t think this is a product “con” or a deal breaker … just something to keep in mind.
Acu-Nodes Help Release Foot Pain and Tension
The Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath was designed with small, raised nodes on the bottom of the water basin. Simply slide your feet back and forth over these massaging acu-nodes. This action stimulates the acupressure points on the soles of your feet and can help to release pain and tension from heels, toes, and arches, as well.
Powerful Vibration Massage
Not only does this unique footbath feature heated water, but it also provides the feet with a soothing vibration massage. Just switch on the foot spa and the vibration massage creates a wonderful, calming sensation. The vibration, plus the acu-nodes on the base of the foot spa, work together to intensify the experience.
Safe For Use With Epsom Salt
Of course, you can use the footbath with just tap water. However, Epsom salt can be added for additional relaxation. Learning that this footbath is safe for use with Epsom salt was music to my ears. Some footbaths can be damaged by Epsom salt.
What is Epsom salt? Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral salt, a compound of magnesium and sulfate. Benefits of Epsom salt have been said to include relief from stress, muscle pain, sprains, detoxification, inflammation, skin conditions, and can help improve sleep. Epsom salt comes in a variety of scents like lavender, coconut, and eucalyptus.
It’s amazing how a good soak for 15 minutes will rejuvenate your feet and even one’s whole body.
Conveniently Folds When Not in Use
Most foot spas on the market are not collapsible so you need to find a large area to store it. And you know my typical response about storing any item, out of sight, out of mind. I store my collapsible foot spa right in my small linen closet, so I see it every time I grab my makeup bag or a towel. And when I see it, I take it out and use it!
Rest assured, Homedics designed this foot spa with an anti-collapsible feature so it cannot collapse while filled with water.
Great Start to a Home Pedicure
Most of us enjoy an occasional full-service pedicure at a professional salon. However, I’m on a tight budget these days so I save salon visits for special occasions like prior to a vacation. The rest of the time, I do home pedicures. The Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath is always my first step to my home pedicure.
I know you’re wondering about the cost. I paid $54.99 on Amazon, less than the cost of two professional pedicures. It’s a reasonable price, especially for how great my feet feel after every use.
And like I said, no home pedicure compares to a professional salon pedicure. However, my Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath has helped improve the results of my home pedicures.

My Feet Have Never Been Happier
I highly recommend the Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath with Heat FB-350 to anyone that stands for long periods of time, walks on tile floors, runs on pavement, or performs difficult gym workouts. The Homedics brand cleverly designed this footbath to soothe tired, achy feet and it works!
One important note: A footbath is not recommended for use by diabetics. It is highly recommended that diabetics consult a medical professional before using this product.
I love how easy this footbath is to use. And I have a bit of a confession. When we travel by car, I take my Homedics Compact Pro Spa Collapsible Footbath and a small bag of Epsom salt on the trip. You see, whether we’re sightseeing in a city, hiking in the woods, walking through a theme park, or running on beach sand, my feet are typically crying by the end of the adventure. It’s my favorite new travel accessory.
