Spin Spa Body Brush

My wife saw this in a catalog and requested it as a gift. I bought it because she wanted it, despite the mixed bag of reviews on this site. She has used it several times now and loves it. She uses it on her feet, and it helps remove dead skin and makes her feet feel better. We have not yet had to replace the batteries.

I have used this product at least 5 times with the same set of batteries!! I love it. I use it with exfoliating cream and my skin is silky.It has made my age spots on arms and legs a lot less noticable.I use the net brush attachment to put body lotion on my back. I plan on buying 4 for my sisters for presents.

A lot of reviewers have a problem with this brush stopping after a few minutes or high pressure use. I have been using this brush for a long time, but it is important to buy the Lithium-Ion AA batteries (for use in high-tech devices), because this thing drains power like there is no tomorrow. If you use the Li-Ion batteries, this brush will work fine and last for a long time. You can get these batteries at any store in the regular battery section.

I have bad rotators in my shoulders and it's hard to scrub my back. I've tried many different things, but nothing could help me get my entire back, and my shoulders and arms hurt due. When this item first came out on the market, I bought one to give it a try and loved it. I've had mine now for at least 5 years and it still works great. The batteries last a lot longer than 20 minutes. I probably use this for about 5 minutes each time and the batteries last about two weeks or so. I don't get expensive batteries, just the big pack of regular Kirkland batteries or even Radio Shack when they go on huge sales at Christmas.

The only problem I have is when I'm ready to get replacement brushes for it, they are near impossible to find.

I know I've had mine for a long time, and it works great. I'm not sure if the same company is making the one's now or if they are still being made as well as the one I bought.

I purchased this item almost as soon as it was first introduced and absolutely love it! I am totally disabled and cannot raise my arms or twist my body and I suffer from damaged sympathetic nerves over my entire body and have lost substantial dexterity in my hands due to a spinal injury 10 years ago. Using the spin spa has eliminated the need for someone else to have to help me shower which is well worth twice the price to me to have that independence and privacy back! I love the way it feels and the spinning action is just enough to feel really good without removing my skin. If you try to apply too much pressure the unit will stop spinning so you don't harm yourself. Changing brushes has always been relatively easy for me in spite of my limited dexterity and strength, the thing to remember is not to have soapy hands making them too slippery to grasp the brush. The handle is very easy for me to hold even when wet because of the rubbery grips and it is long enough that I don't have to twist to reach prior to the spin spa it was necessary to have someone else shower me because I could not reach. When I first considered the purchase I was concerned about the possibility of it causing too much pain for me to tolerate but after the first use I was hooked.

I really do not understand the negative reviews. Perhaps they are trying to apply too much pressure while lathering or they've failed to tighten the battery compartment completely as the instructions explain. It also instructs the user that the unit shouldn't be continually held under water, which could explain how some of the units fail to last. To date I have only replaced the batteries 3 times so it has not caused continual expense to use. When cleaning out my brushes, I do not keep them attached to the unit, nor do I leave the unit in the shower because everyone in our house (4) shares one bathroom and this keeps my unit clean and dry when not in use, a very small task considering the benefits.

When lathering, I do not stay under the waterspray, as I've found that it's not very economical to do so and be continually rinsing any soap or body washes off until you are fully lathered. In the winter I live in our RV in a warm climate and am able to bathe using just the small amount of hot water that is available. The average time I spend in the shower is well under 20 minutes, which is substantially less than anyone else in our home. The brush with the rubber nodules creates a pleasant experience when applying moisturizer. I also really like the enhanced exfoliating benefits the spin spa provides as I am quite energy-limited and being nearly totally bedridden use of the spin spa helps prohibit the onset of bedsores because it stimulates my skin.

People who have the same condition as I do can barely tolerate showering because of the pain the waterspray causes but I've found that if I wet my body and the brushes and apply my soap to the brush, I can wash thoroughly without having to sit under a steady stream of spraying water which causes excrutiating pain. Once I lather with my soap applied on the soft brush I rinse and then lather a second time using my favorite silky body wash applied to the wet pouf and it feels heavenly!

Idk what other people bought but I love this product!

2 Speeds- Low is good for hard to reach and aquard areas but I like high for everywhere else.

5 Attachments- Cleansing brush is soft enough to not shred your skin but firm enough to lightly exfoliate. Sponge attachment makes for lots of suds. Massage brush seems pointless. I guess it feels good on bony areas like your shin. Pumice stone suprisingly works great. I didn't get to use the microdermabrasion attachment yet. It feels like it'll be nice and there's an area where you can fill product into an inner chamber so it all disperse it. We'll have to see if it works I've read another reviews that it leaks but just don't be a dummy like past reviewers and keep trying to fill product in wasting half a bottle. Duh.

I would buy this product again and thought it was great. Not sure what other people bought to have such a bad review. I got mine at CVS and it was only 10 bucks
