This review is from: Sunbeam Health at Home Moist/Dry Heating Pad, King Size (Health and Beauty)

Pros: Large, sturdy, heats up quickly, has four temperature settings(warm, low, medium, high), gets plenty hot (medium setting is usually as high as I want to take it), has two-hour auto-shutoff

Cons: Does not have override to two-hour shutoff (I.E, you can't leave in on longer without cycling it off and on), the "moist" option is a flimsy sponge that's smaller than the heating pad

Bottom line: This heating pad works fine, has no real day-to-day issues and is reasonably priced. I could nick a half-star each off for the two cons but will not. I don't need the moist heat anyway and, if I ever do, I'll use a damp hand towel. I reckon that, without the mandatory shutoff, somebody would forget to turn the heating pad off, injure themselves and sue the manufacturer. I'd rather limit their liability and keep my price down.

Some other reviews have stated that the product didn't get hot enough, took too long to heat, was hard to restart after the auto-shutoff, or that the hand-held control got hot. I've had none of these problems. To restart, turn the switch to the "off" position, count off two seconds ("one-mississippi, two-mississippi") and turn it back on.

This is the best heating pad I've owned, and I've owned many. Large size and fast heating make it perfect for treating my aches and pains--and the price was great as well.

I like the size of the heating pad. It has an automatic shut-off, which I don't like. When I got it, I thought it was defective because when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't turn on. I finally figured out that I had to turn it off and on a couple of times before it would work, which is a hassle. The pad inside doesn't crinkle up as much as the smaller sizes, which I like.
