Mastex Luxury Bath Spa Oxygen-Ion Whirlpool Jet Spa

I was looking for something to basically push the water around in my bathtub and maybe help the bubble bath stay bubbly. It doesn't say anywhere that I shouldn't use it in a bubble bath so I tried it. It moves the water around and is relatively quiet compared to an actually spa tub. Be warned though, this isn't a powerful jet that is going to massage your back or anything. It just bubbles the water around the tub in a gentle motion. For $40-$50 bucks, I love it.One design flaw I found is that the suction cups are spaced too close together and are difficult to mount without them overlapping. One of them fell off but was easy to reattach. There is a push lock that holds the cups in place meaning in the future, I can probably replace the cups if they wear out.My biggest concern was safety. I didn't want to electrocute myself in the bathtub with this thing so I read up on this product before trying it out. The device plugs into a transformer that reduces the voltage to only 12 volts so even if the entire device falls into the water, it isn't going to hurt you. Also, the device is capable of being submerged momentarily in case it falls into the water. The instructions say to pull it out and let the water drip out before remounting and turning back on. It's that simple. It suggests to hang the device out to dry for 24 hours if it gets submerged for longer than 5 minutes but since you aren't supposed to leave this item unattended, that shouldn't be an issue. I feel this product is very safe.As I mentioned above, I used this to try and keep my bubble bath bubbly and it worked! I wondered how much it was helping and decided to test it by turning it on after letting the bubbles break down. Within a few minutes I saw impressive amounts of suds starting to mound up again.Remember, it just pushes water around and makes bubbles. If you want real bath jets, you need a professional spa tub. As long as you manage your expectations, you will like this little spa jet.

After reading the reviews I thought I should go with a different product but I decided to give it a try. That was a mistake, the jets are very weak but it does increase bubbles. The suction cups look like they have been used and are not very secure. The pieces on the back of the machine that secure the suction cups broke off while moving the Jet Spa over in the bath. I thought the pieces just snapped out of place however after finding them in the Jet Spa I found that they snapped in half. I will either be returning this object or just tossing it.Product was used twice, tried to let godchildren use to develop some bubbles item wont turn on.... Do not wast your money

The jet have enough power to push the water around on a large tub. I set it up for my wife and also setup her Kindle to stream the movie "About Time" which show a run time of 2 hours and 3 minutes. She actually watched the whole movie with this product on and running and the suction held up well even after the water has been drained.I believe that the complain about the suction is due to improper installation. One of the suction was also folded a little when I first got it out of the box same as some of the comments I have read from other reviewers but it did not give me any problem after I have it installed in the tub.Tip to have a strong suction.1. Make sure that the surface is flat and clean.2. Wet the wall and the suction prior to installing.3. Push the suction flat into the tub wall making sure that there was no air inside the suction cup. If properly installed, the suction cup should be flat and not cone shaped. If there is air inside the suction cup then it will give up with the weight of the product or when the jet turned on.Note: When you have a properly installed suction, you will not be able to just pull the jet spa from the wall. The only way to remove the suction is to peel the suction cup 1 at a time.This jet spa keeps the foam from the foam bath that my wife added in the water. I did not see any difference between the jet stream mode and the bubble mode. It seem to just push the water around at the same rate. We have it set to bubble so I guess that is what keeps the foam from the foam bath soap working the whole time but it could be the same if we leave it at jet stream mode.I did not see any cleaning procedure on the manual but after my wife's use, I clean this by filling one of my kids bucket with clean water and submerge the bottom part of this product letting it suck the clean water from the bucket and spit it out to the tub. I did this about 4 or 5 times.I left the product hanging on the wall for more than 24 hours to make sure that all the water have dripped and the filter dried up before putting it back in the box for storage. 2 of the suction was still holding up after over 24 hours of the product just hanging on the tub wall so I could say that it is built to hold the device during use.

I read Mr. Whitehouse's review, so was duly warned, but was looking for something affordable to liven up my bath experience. As the previous reviewer said, the unit has a smallish motor so it can't produce real whirlpool-like results. However, I also had the following issues:-The unit attaches to the tub wall using 3 suction cups. One of my suction cups was bent by the packing so that it wouldn't really adhere to the side of the tub. The unit is heavy, and the suction wasn't powerful enough to keep it from sliding down to the bottom of the tub. Even if all 3 suction cups were fully operational, I think the weight would still prevent it from sticking higher up on the tub wall. This is a real issue.-On the first use, all of the lettering/marking on the unit started to rinse off in the bathwater. It's not something that prevents me from using it, but it was a turn off.All in all, I feel like this machine created more frustration than relaxation. I'm going to give it a few more tries, but I suspect this is an $80 device that is going to end up mostly unused until it gets tossed.
