I love this thing! [SEP] I've had this for almost three years and I love it. I'm surprised other reviewers don't like it because I find it works great. I have athlete's foot and my feet get all dry and cracked and disgusting. I can't seem to get rid of it, even with prescription cream. I use this once a week, when I get out of the shower so the skin is softened up a bit. It never powers down. In fact, my only problem is I'm so enthusiastic about removing dead skin that sometimes I overuse it and cut myself, which is painful but my own fault.<br />One of the only truly indispensable appliances I own!
