My number one concern is that the heat switch can be left on with only the tiniest of red dot lights to let you know it's was not turned off. The top of the massager doesn't heat up, even though the picture shows it does. It has a separate on/off switch from the massager. So, it's easy to turn of the massager which is noisy without turning off the heat source. This has happened twice at my house. My nieces are student athletes, so they like to use it. But, forgot to unplug or turn of the heat switch. Later, I'll find it to be extremely hot (and extremely unsafe) with no idea how long it's been on. It frightens me that my 3 yr old nephew will get ahold of it when it's hot and be burned. Heck, it burned me. I realize these are issues we can work on, however I truly believe the manufacturer should recall these and set the heater up to auto turn off after a period of time. This is how irons work, electric hair products, etc. Until something has been changed or you are absolute...
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Very similar, mine isn't red when heat's on & perhaps mine's a bit more square on the sides
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate, could use a tad more info
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. With one 'major' exception. , it would probably be quite good
