I loved it - especially the lighted foot switch. I had it under my desk plugged into a small heater and with a quick glance into the darkness under there, I could see whether it was on or off. It's a good value for the price and I was not disappointed. I'm sure it would have lasted much longer -possibly years- if I had used it only a couple times a day and simply stepped on the foot switch like a normal person. I used it excessively - I literally stomped on it a dozen (or more) times a day every day, most times I was not gentle. Ultimately, I beat the foot switch to death in 8 months. Even tho I ran over the cord too many times with my office chair, it held up without breaking thru to the wires.
