Works, but switch is really in an inconvenient location
I rarely write Amazon reviews, but I felt a need to warn prospective purchasers of what I think is not a good product for home, non professional use. Let me say up front that the product works as advertised: it dispenses heated lotion. However, unexplicably, the way you get the heating system to work is to operate a switch which is placed on the end of the cord. The end that has the plug. Any of the places I would normally think to place this item for convenient use, the outlet is not near the dispenser. The cord is long enough to reach a outlet, but the outlet is near the floor or not anywhere reasonable to turn the unit on. I wouldn't leave this on all the time: I only use it once or twice a day at most, and it only takes a minute or so to heat up. The switch needs to be on the dispenser itself,. or at least on the cord near the dispenser is, at least for me. I could use an extension cord to get the switch in a more convenient location, but then the unit's cord would be bunched up near the dispenser. Not attractive at all. The other problems I have with this could just be because I'm a klutz, but every time I try to use it, I drip lotion where it shouldn't be. The lotion I use is very runny, more of an oil, and if it was a more viscous liquid it probably wouldn't be a problem. I will also note that the product is built around the assumption that you buy lotion in 16oz containers. Mine is much smaller, and the size of the unit means there is quite a lot left in the bottom that the pump won't pick up.
