Summary: Horrible & painful
Comment: What a horrible product! The water cools so quickly because of the wussy aeration from the jets & bubbles. If you removed the removable rollers on the bottom, you are stuck with the very poky and sharp roller holders that make it so you can't even put your feet down without pain. If you have anything like a normal foot, above a size 7 or so, you won't have enough room to even use the rollers. The attachments are lame and unusable due to the position on the machine you place them. The loofahs kind of grossed me out, because after a few uses, they are gonna get nasty (just like a loofah in the shower does)and then what are ya' gonna do with that part of the machine? Save your pennies and buy a large dishpan, it will stay warmer longer and won't poke the bottom of your feet.

Summary: Some tips on how to make the best of this unit
Comment:
This was an impulse buy at Fry's. I bought it for $31.00 (a return?). I didn't expect much out of this unit and I was curious to find out if it's any good.
I read the reviews here and noticed no body was happy with it. It's true that it doesn't heat the water or have moving massaging pieces. When you buy a unit like this, you have to find out who does the "massaging", you or the unit!?
What I do to get the most out of this is to put very hot water in the unit to the top marker. I mean put real hot water (not boiling) and turn on the jets (and bubbles if you're going to use that) without putting your feet in. You will do this for two reasons. Get the unit to absorb the extra heat so it warms up and so that the water cools down to a good level. You don't want to start with warm water because it will cool down quickly. Start with very hot so that the cool parts in the unit warm up and you start with a good temperature.
I remove the fixed rollers because I don't find them useful. They kinda poke you in the feet. I pour some spa salt (from Target or anywhere cheap or order some from Amazon along with the unit) and turn on the jets only. I don't use the bubbles maker because it cools down the water too quickly. I don't find the vibrator useful.
I use it for 10-15 minutes and I am done. If you want to use it for a longer time, either don't run anything (they cool the water quicker) and just soak your feet and rub against the rubbery 'poky' bottom or keep changing the water with hot water. Note that I do not know if salts are bad for the unit. Some foot spa units tell you not to use salts. I would just rinse the unit with fresh water and let the jets and bubbles run for a few seconds to flush out the salty water throughout the unit.
If the unit goes bad, I have an excuse to buy the unit mentioned below :)
For its price it's not great. My next unit will be the "Hotspa Ultimate Footbath with Water Heat Up" for $125. For that price I hope this one really heats up the water. Since I am in no rush to get it, it will be in my wish list for Christmas.
Maybe your option is to spend twice as much and get the Hotspa unit instead. From its reviews, people seem to like it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I should have read the reviews here before I bought mine.
Comment: The problem mentioned by other reviewers are all true. "Heating" is practically non-existent. I am very disappointed at this.
I also found that the water splashes out a lot. Although I kept the initial water level to that instructed on the machine, after keeping the jet on for about ten minutes, half of the water had splashed out of the bath. I am going to see if I can return this tomorrow.

Summary: Conair FB51 Foot bath
Comment: This model is not particularly powerful (jet pressure) in comparison to an older model by Conair (which is no longer available). The water does not 'heat' either. All in all, I was very disappointed in the unit.
