Comparison Beurer FB 35 vs VES DH 75L

Types of massage provided in the design of the bath.

— Vibromassage. Impact with the help of small vibrations of the bottom of the bath — more precisely, the surface with which the foot is in contact.

— Spirit (jacuzzi). Impact due to air bubbles generated by special nozzles at the bottom of the bath.

— Acupuncture (point). This massage technique involves applying strong pressure to specific points on the feet. It's important to mention that in our catalog, this function is exclusively listed for baths equipped with textured bottoms that provide comprehensive foot stimulation through characteristic protrusions. While some manufacturers may reference acupressure in relation to roller nozzles (as explained below), it's essential to recognize that this remains a distinct type of massage despite similar effects.

— Roller nozzle. This massage is carried out using a specific attachment (as described below): the user typically uses their foot to "roll" the roller. It bears many similarities to the previously mentioned acupuncture technique, but instead of providing a simultaneous effect on the entire foot, it targets only a small area.

The wide range of massage types available in the bath offers a diverse set of options. It's important to be aware that not all models permit the use of each m...assage type individually. For instance, a spirit bath (jacuzzi) may only be activated in conjunction with vibration. Additionally, to choose the most suitable massage type, it's advisable to consult with an expert after determining the intended purpose of the bath purchase, whether it's for maintaining foot health, addressing skin concerns, achieving overall relaxation, or other specific goals.

— Water heating. The capability of the bath to warm cold water poured into it to a comfortable temperature is a valuable feature. This not only eliminates the need for users to heat water separately but also reduces the risk of damaging the device with excessively hot liquid. Typically, this function is coupled with overheating protection, which shuts off the heater when temperatures reach a critical level. It's important to mention that not all bathtubs with heating elements can actively heat the water; some heaters are designed solely for maintaining the water temperature (as explained below).

— Infrared radiation. The presence of an infrared lighting system in the design of the bath. Infrared radiation warms up the skin and joints, expanding blood vessels and increasing blood circulation in the feet; this provides not only a healing effect, but also additional comfort due to the clearly felt warmth.

— Aromatherapy. The bath includes an aromatherapy feature, denoting models equipped with oil dispensers that release fine aromatic oil particles into the air. These dispensers can operate either manually, activated by user command, or automatically, releasing portions of aromatic substances at set intervals. Aromatherapy can offer both relaxing and invigorating effects, proving effective for various conditions like colds and mood enhancement. However, it...'s crucial to be aware that the procedure itself and specific oil types may have contraindications, necessitating careful usage with appropriate precautions in mind.

— Magnetotherapy. The bath includes a magnetotherapy feature, which uses permanent magnets. This magnetic field exposure is believed to enhance blood circulation and alleviate leg heaviness.

— Maintenance of water temperature. The bath features a water temperature maintenance function, which is notably convenient as warm water tends to cool down faster than desired without additional heating. These models incorporate a heating element in their design. However, it's important to highlight that temperature maintenance doesn't always imply the capability to actively heat cold water (as explained earlier). In some instances, the heater's power may be limited, sufficient only for preventing the liquid from cooling further, and it may not have the capacity to heat cold water to the desired temperature. To ensure the device can both maintain and heat water to a comfortable temperature, it's essential to check the specifications explicitly stating both functions.

— Adjustment of water temperature. The bath offers adjustable water temperature control, typically involving both heating and temperature maintenance (as discussed previously). Models with this capability provide exceptional convenience since you can select the ideal thermostat setting once and not worry about comfort thereafter. However, it's worth noting that such baths tend to be relatively costly.

— Automatic nozzle rotation. The presence in the design of the bath of a system that automatically turns on the rotation of the nozzle when the foot is placed on it. Usually, to operate, you need to lightly press the nozzle — this is often easier and more convenient than working with a separate switch, which you would have to bend over every time.

— Shutdown timer. The presence of a shutdown timer in the design of the bath. This function allows you to set the time after which the device automatically turns off — which relieves the user of the need to keep track of time and makes it possible to enjoy a massage without unnecessary worries. In some models, the timer can have fixed values, in others almost any option is available within the operating range.

The maximum power consumption of the bath during regular operation is a crucial factor, primarily influencing electricity usage. However, in modern massage baths, even the most potent models typically have relatively modest power requirements. Consequently, issues related to electrical connections are usually not a concern. You should primarily consider this parameter if energy conservation or minimizing the strain on your power grid is particularly important to you. It's worth noting that this factor also partly determines the device's class: advanced models, with their rich array of features, typically demand higher power, with rare exceptions.

The presence of its own display in the design of a foot massaging bath. These displays typically feature simple monochrome screens, but they are entirely capable of showing various operational parameters: the selected mode and functions, water temperature, timer data, malfunction warnings, and more. Models with this feature are usually quite expensive, but this is due not so much to the presence of screens as to the overall abundance of functions. Adding a display to a basic model with minimal features often doesn't justify the cost.
