I just returned this to Amazon for a refund. I found that on even the highest setting it gave off almost no heat. I do not know if this was due to a defect, or if they are all like this. I see some other reviewers had the same problem, so I think they are just badly made. I went to the local drug stores here in NYC (Rite-Aid & Duane Reade)- all their heating pads are by "KAZ" (the brand) which I bought. It was only $17, but gets blazingly hot.

This just doesn't heat hot enough. There is no discernible difference in the heat settings. Sometimes it feels like it has turned itself off even if the indicator light is on high. But what I really didn't like is a tag on the cord indicating it contains lead and that I should wash my hands after use!! What is that about?? Who wants to jump out of bed to wash their hands after this thing has supposedly eased their cramps (or other aches & pains) before sleep?? Does this mean all my appliance cords contain lead?? I will be forever washing my hands! How about just not putting lead in the cord??

best of the heating pads. The last pad we had burned itself as the plastic lining stuck together. This one has no plastic. It has enough weight to stay wrapped over the shoulder.

While this is a great shape and design, I found it to be the most unreliable of the heating pads I've purchased in the last several years.

It started by heating irregularly about a month before it quit. Then one night after being turned off, it just wouldn't turn back on. This may just be a fluke, but I wouldn't order this pad again.

When I found this heating pad, I was excited to find one that wasn't too big or too small, but was also a good price. So far this one has worked well. I can even fold it and it doesn't lose heat. I'd definitely recommend this product.

I bought this heating pad because of it's shape. I have back problems and it fits just right around my lower back! What's great too is I can just throw it in the washing machine and dyer!

This heating pad is pretty mild mannered and inoffensive. That's good if you want a slightly warm something on your body. It's bad if you really want some decent heat. On the highest setting, the pad challenges the definition of "hot." It never gets there. If you like very gentle warmth, this is the one. If you want a wee bit more, keep shopping.

I use it as a foot pad at my PC Station by folding a bathroom rug around it. Has a 2 hour timer so no need to remember to shut it off. The four levels of heat are a nice feature but I always put it on full blast. The easy-to-use Control is part of the super long power cord - perfect! Love ya's, Vic

Our old heatpad wore out and I choose this one to replace it after looking at many models. It was a good choice. The pad is comfortable against your skin and is flexible so you can wrap it around your arm or your shoulder or where ever you need it. The low heat setting is perfect. I sometimes use it just to warm up or a cool winter evening. The pad is washable although I haven't tried to wash it yer. This pad should be a part of everyone's first aid kit. I really like it.

It wasn't too big or too small but just right in size and did the job. Loved the heat settings and it does get pretty hot. i usually have it only at warm/low and that's good enough for me. Also to top it off the heating pad turns itself off after two hours. HIGHLY recommended and it's decently priced.
