I liked this heating pad so much when I first used it that I immediately ordered a second one (for what I expected would be a year or two in the future). What I liked was that the wiring was indeed much thinner than other pads, allowing it to conform to the shape of my body. However, the first pad lasted only two weeks before failing to heat. I returned it to HomeMedics and they ignored me. The second one lasted nearly a month before it to failed to heat. I will not bother wasting the postage to return this one, as obviously HomeMedics does not care about quality nor customer satisfaction. I recommend that you not waste your money on this defective product.

HAD THIS FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND IT JUST STOPPED HEATING.....THE ONLY REASON I GAVE IT ONE STAR IS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WHEN IT DID HEAT IT WAS NICE.....BUT FOR THE DOZEN TIMES USED IT WAS NOT WORTH BUYING...WILL BE RETURNING IT.

I wish I'd listened to the other reviews. I bought this and it heated for exactly two months and then quit on me. Claims a five year warranty but I can't return it to Amazon so it's just money wasted.

Be smarter than me, avoid this product if you value your money.

As with all heating packs, DO NOT use for longer than 20 minutes, and no more than once every 2 hours. DO NOT set the temperature too high. Heating pads can be a wonderful way to relieve pain, but please use wisely. Overuse can result in nerve damage, which can never be repared.

I have a rare form of arthritis that affects my back. I must use a heating pad every morning to loosen up my muscle spasms enough to get out of bed. Consequently, I have overused my heating pads over the years. My back has permanent nerve damage; my heating pad must be on the highest heat setting for me to feel the heat. I have gotten several burns caused by my inablity to notice that my heating pad was too hot for too long.

Having said that, I do love heating pads, and would encourage you to buy this item. However, please use with caution.

It was really good in the first month I have it. I loved it and used it almost everyday, and I threw away the receipt, cause I don't think I will need it anymore. However, after one month, It stop heating. It is the worst quality heating pad I ever have. It said it has 5 year warranty, it can't even work more than 5 weeks. I won't buy any of HoMedics' product anymore.

This heating pad was received as a gift to replace the Sunbeam heating pad I had used for 35 years and had finally worn out. I was delighted with the larger size, but the new pad did not heat at all. I returned it to HoMedics (along with the $5 handling charge), and two months later they sent a replacement. The replacement heats up, but after one use the pad was hopelessly twisted. It almost looks like it has melted to itself, and it can't be flattened out. I won't be sending this one back with another $5 handling charge--it isn't worth it. This one goes out with the trash, and I go back to Sunbeam.

The large size and multiple settings were great. But product stopped working after just a couple of months.

I never really loved this heating pad. The contents within the rubber get twisted easily, it seemed to heat unevenly at times, and towards the end of its life I actually heard little clicking noises coming from it. I got it for Christmas last year, used it a few days after....and then last night it died. No heat, though the light went on.

This thing had weekly use on my couch--never left a 5 foot radius. I didn't fold it up, and I never used it with moisture. A year of use is a letdown.

I bought this for my lower back. I am pregnant now and my back keeps getting achy and goes out from time to time. It is great because it actually wraps all the way around to the back of my hips giving my entire lower back the heat without having to switch it from one side to the other.

However, the inner pad bunches up tremendously. I have used it for a few weeks now, and have to take the cover off to "open" the pad back up by stretching it out again. It hasn't gone back to the original shape. If I had known it would do this, I would have never purchased it.

I have had this heating pad for several months and have never had a problem with it. It gets very hot/warm very fast and is very comforting. I use it on my neck and shoulders to help relax the muscles that cause some headaches. I would recommend this product to anyone. I'm purchasing another one for my stepfather as a gift.
