Most heating pads I found to be too small for what I need. This larger size is perfect and I can't live without it. My doctor recommends moist heat and this worked great.

The only drawback for me is the auto-off feature. It turns off in 1 hour and I usually need it for longer but I guess that safety feature outweighs the inconvenience of turning it back on.

Also, the high setting doesn't get any hotter than the medium setting so instead of 4 heat settings, you are really only getting 3. Again, probably a safety feature but I would like it a little hotter.

Kaz makes a terrific soft heating pad with a thin sponge so that you can use it along with hot moist heat. I have relied on this product for years and it has never let me down.

It's easy enough to use. If you just want heat, turn it on and apply it to the area where you have discomfort. If you want hot moist heat then just wet the thin sponge that comes with it and insert the sponge carefully into the light blue "pillowcase" that the heating pad comes in. There are three settings for low heat, medium heat and high heat. This impresses me for a product in this price range.

It's also easy to store. After you finish using it you can wrap it up or fold it around itself and then store it in a drawer.

Just one warning: DON'T use this product if you think you might accidentally fall asleep while using it. This could potentially cause a fire if the heating pad were to accidentally overheat after several hours of nonstop use. It's safest to use it when you know you're going to stay awake. Amazon mentions an "auto shut-off" feature but I trust myself more when it comes to turning it off.

Overall, I highly recommend this rather fine heating pad with the sponge to apply moist heat. This heating pad lasts for years with proper care.

I have nothing bad to say. it gets hot enough. it was cheap. it seems well made. the cover is washable. it's just what I was looking for.

Nice heating pad. It gets HOT if you want it to, has 4 heat settings, is a dry or moist heating pad, and it auto-shuts off after you've turned it on. (This is a big feature for me because I sometimes sleep with it. Yeah, I know you're not supposed to do that). It also has a control that is very faintly illuminated, making setting it in the dark a snap.

The cover material is soft as well. This is my second model of this heating pad as my first one gave up the ghost after about 3 years of moderately heavy use.

My only real gripe with this heating pad is that where the power cord enters the heating pad has kind of a wide and somewhat sharp edged plastic flare to it. Not a huge deal but it can poke you somewhat, particularly if you're trying to sleep with it. I will either end up *carefully* trimming the sharp edges (being careful to stay away from the wires) or putting a piece of tape over them.

Having said that, this is a good product and well worth your consideration.

Very nice quality, dependable, delivers even heat and control panel easy to operate. Would recommend this product.

I bought this heating pad for my neck and shoulders, and it is terrible. It is so stiff that it won't wrap around my neck and shoulders. It's like trying to wrap a piece of cardboard around you. I thought that with the ties, it would be ok, but it's not. Don't buy this if you need it to form to your body.

This has been the best purchase! I've been rehabilitating an Achilles tendon for over 6 months and what this heating pad has done in 30 days is more than therapy ever did. I'm not a doctor but I think that the moist heat truly promotes the healing process as the product claims. I love the flexibility of the pad, the quick heating, and the temperature ranges. Also, the hottest setting means HOT...not something lukewarm. I recommend this pad completely.

Purchased this product a few years ago and it's still working.

I find myself using the 2nd or 3rd function most of the time. Works well for lower back and some parts of the shoulder.

Still works like new.

My last heating pad turned out to be a dud, so I went shopping via Amazon for another.

This time I want one which was (a) Larger to encompass both my hips at once, and (b)sufficiently well-made to last longer than 6 months.

Having osteo-arthritis, I need a good heating pad to help relieve the most intense periods of flare-up, and this baby does the trick nicely.

My only complaint is with the auto shut-off feature that seems to be mandatory in all new heating pads nowadays. For that reason I only gave it 4 stars. I'm a big believer in user/customer choice, and do not appreciate "Nanny features" to keep me safe from myself!

Otherwise, this is a great product.

This heating pad has four settings and I can usually put it at setting 2 or 3 and have a comfortable level of heat. It does have an auto-shut off, which is for safety, so I dont mind the inconvenience of having to press the button again every now and then.
