Does this massager have a timer? Can it be used WITHOUT a timer for 40 minutes? If not, how many minutes are the timers for?

It goes for 15 minutes and then automatically shuts off. You have to restart it for additional time.

It's a vibrating massage with heat; you can target different areas with the massage. It also has a 10, 20, and 30 minute timer.

mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that arena... good luck and keep circulating.. mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that... » Read More mine stopped after years of light use... if i press the two buttons on either side , it worked for another 10-15 min ... it seemed like something lost contact.... there are some replacement parts that wear.. i am not mechanical.. i feel i got good use from it..i will another.. it is a unique product... as pro bodyworker, my clients love the scalp massage and sometime i add shoulders and other muscle groups... you can never put a price on good vibrations that benefit the body... buy another like i am doing, save directions for maintenance... i am sure i could have done better job in that arena... good luck and keep circulating.. « Show Less

It does have a two minute timer. After running continuously for 2 minutes the motor very briefly pauses 3 times. The pause is brief but definitely long enough for you to notice it if the toothbrush is in your mouth. After the pauses, the motor on mine continues to run until you turn it off. I don't know if I have ever left it running for 4 minutes to see if it pauses again.

The best massager I have owned, and there have been many, is the Jeanie massager, approx $180 on Amazon. If you want an aggressive massage, it will serve the purpose well.

It does heat up after about 20 minutes of continuous use however it is not unbearably hot more warm to the touch and at least for me, it is only at the tip of the handle. About an inch or two above the switch. It doesn't actually get hot on the head of the massager.

There is no timer. I purchased a few of these last year because it was 1/2 the price of a Rainbow Rainmate (http://rainbowsystem.com/accessories/rainmate/ ) which is what I really wanted - but opted to give this a try b/c of the cost and it looked/sounded very close to what I was looking for. I should have saved my money for the Rainmate... The motor on the EGeco didn't seem to put out much power and one of the 2 I had ordered took 5 minutes to start properly after plugged in. I gave one away since then and the other is in a box somewhere. The Rainmate uses any essential oil and you can also purchase the Triethylene Glycol ( http://www.rainvac.com/fresh-air-concentrate ) with it to clean the air - That is what they use in the Hospital Air systems to kill bacteria, viruses, and what not - Hope this helps : )

I only use it for 30 minutes at a time so I can attest to that. The timer does show 60 minutes. The psi is variable and I use it at 20 psi. I have found mine to be very reliable as well as comfortable.

There is a 30 minute timer. You can just reset it if you want a longer session. You only have to turn the timer dial to do that.

Vibrate is the fastest setting. There are knobs inside but they don't physically rotate...there is a fast rotating pulse from knob to knob...very massage like. My husband has to have a shot in his back every 6 months for a back issue. This really soothes his aching back. I use it after I work out for sore back and thigh muscles. I also put my grandchildren on it and it puts them to sleep every time. I think it's the combination massage pulse and warmer because a lot of times it puts me to sleep.

There is no time limit. The best way to lie in bed, for a mid-back massage, is to lie on one's stomach while positioning the Kneading Massager on one's back with two small ropes, one on each side, to keep it in place. My wife has regularly used the Kneading Massager for the past six years. If ours craters, we will purchase another because this massager has worked very well!

No timer, to my knowledge. You may wish to ask the supplier, August International.

Is there a time limit to the massage (machine turns off > 15 min)? And can you lie on this in a bed for a mid-back massage? Has anyone used the unit daily for ~ a year and had it stand up to the daily usage? Thanks.

it was a gift for my dad so I don't use it but he says the massage is really more like a vibration. I don't think it is that great unfortunately :/

Not really but its simple to use. Snap the leads on the pads, slightly moisten pads with water, plug leads into device. Place pads where you want them. Turn on device. Choose type of massage, length of time and level of intensity. That's it.

No it does not have a timer. We are on a pretty strict schedule at the salon so we are generally aware of elapsed time. When I did use dryers I never paid much attention to setting it though. Hope that helps!

This is a great massager for the price. It is easy to use on yourself, especially to ease pain in the deltoid muscles of the upper arm. To use on the back or upper traps of the shoulder, it is best to have someone else use it on you. The handle is short so that makes it difficult to use on your own back. I love this massager and especially find it effective working on my own arms, feet, and legs.
