There is a safety timer on it in case you fall asleep from the wonderful effects. Heat works with the bubbles and/or Shiatsu on at the same time not individually, and the foot massager is marvelous! Best pedicure I have had since I left Ft. Lauderdale 4 years ago. The unit is heavier than another unit I have by Dr. Scholl’s but this motor is doing more and quite well. The heater was most important and I am not disappointed. Great purchase for me.”
