Massager and pedicure in one: the foot whirlpool combines these functions
To relieve pain in your feet, a soothing massage is just the thing. If you don’t want to do it yourself, treat yourself to a foot whirlpool bath.
Modern bubble baths combine several functions in just one device: they warm, care for and massage your feet. This makes them suitable for pedicures as well as for relaxation and pain relief. This is made possible thanks to the integrated rollers, rollers or nubs in the footbed, which, in combination with the adjustable water temperature and the bubble function, are equivalent to a massage. The targeted stimulation of the reflex zones is also intended to promote blood circulation, but a foot whirlpool is not considered a medical device. It’s more about the relaxing wellness factor.
These are the most important purchasing criteria
Depending on the manufacturer there is one with different functions therefore. For this reason, you should consider in advance which properties the device must fulfill: whether vibration and bubble massage, heat function, light stimulation or magnetic field therapy – you can choose between different settings. And these are not all the criteria that need to be taken into account:
- There are electrically operated massage functions, but also manual ones.
- Non-slip rubber feet ensure that your hot tub stands securely.
- The wattage determines how hot the water can get.
- People with large feet should consider the size of the foot bath.
Foot whirlpool: Five models in comparison
The foot bath from is suitable for shoe size 50. It can bubble and vibrate, has a foot reflexology massage element, a pouring opening, a removable splash guard and non-slip rubber feet. Although it is unable to heat cold water, it can maintain the temperature of warm water. The model is therefore suitable for preparing for a pedicure, for relaxation and for a massage of your feet.

The 60 watt foot whirlpool from is currently on offer at Lidl : It is suitable for shoe sizes up to 44 and is a combination of three functions (water temperature control, bubble and vibration massage). In addition to the non-slip rubber feet, the device contains a pouring opening and a massage attachment. Treat yourself to a revitalizing reflexology massage or simply a warm foot bath.
The foot whirlpool from is a little more expensive to purchase than the first two devices, but also has more functions (up to shoe size 44): In addition to the removable massage rollers and a massage-supporting footbed, the model has an integrated aroma filter. This gives you the opportunity to combine your foot bath with a bath additive of your choice. The device also contains infrared light points, three interchangeable pedicure attachments and magnets (for stimulating magnetic therapy).
The device is also 60 watts strong . It has two program levels – the first provides an air bubble bath with heat, the second combines the air bubble bath with a vibrating massage (including heat). The model is suitable for a maximum shoe size of 46. It also contains removable massage rollers so that you can decide for yourself which type of foot whirlpool you want to enjoy.
The last and most expensive model in this series is the foot whirlpool from : It has 14 massage rollers, infrared light, a Shiatsu massage roller and a peeling stone. The water temperature can be adjusted (and maintained) using the integrated heater. You can also add essential oils to the soothing bath. You can control and change all the desired settings using the integrated display.
And one more important note at the end: If you suffer from a venous disease (e.g. thrombosis), we strongly advise against using a foot whirlpool bath.
