Summary
Elle Macpherson Foot Spa is a good footspa providing luxurious features such as coloured LED mood lights, steam and aromatherapy. Its long term reliability needs to be proven though.
Most purchasers are absolutely NOT happy with this product. I have just used it for the first time after happily receiving it as a Christmas gift and I am most disappointed (as are the majority of customers whose reviews I have read online since). The rollers in the base of the unit are uncomfortable to rest your feet on, the bubbles are ineffectual and the massager only serves to create noise. Most importantly, the unit does not keep the water warm (nor does the water cover your feet when filled to the ‘max line’. This is an absolutely awful product – noisy, uncomfortable and certainly not relaxing – and not worth the money whatsoever. I do not recommend that anyone buy it – you would do better with a simple basin of hot water with aromatherapy oils (which, let’s face it, costs virtually nothing). I would send it back if I had bought it myself. What a waste…Elle MacPherson must have been well paid to endorse this product.
Hi Kate, Elle MacPherson didn’t pay for this review. There is a good number of people who love this product. But I also agree, see my conclusion at the end of this review, that a good number of people have expressed concerns. And actually, when you look at our list of the best foot spas (https://www.pedireviews.co.uk/best-foot-spa-reviews/), this device is at the bottom half, which is reflective of what we thought about it. If you want a high quality foot machine, you should try Beurer FB50.
