4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, May 2, 2008

My wife and I have been using this product for a variety of things and it has been great. When you turn it on, it doesn't take long to heat up which is great. At its highest temperature, the heat setting is just right, hot enough to bring relief without becoming too hot or uncomfortable. The only thing we wish was different is that once it has been on High for a while, it begins to cool down and does not become hot again until its cooled down first. This is a little frustrating if you wanted it to be hot for longer. We have tried turning it off and unplugging it at that stage, waiting a minute or two and then plugging it in again and having it on High but this doesn't seem to make it any faster. It still doesn't reach High again until its cooled down first. Other than that, its wonderful and has been a huge help for sore backs, necks, and other ailments. :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT what I ordered!, March 2, 2009

I have 3 major complaints about this product. First, the picture of the heating pad I THOUGHT I ordered was not the one that arrived. So if anyone else is interested in this particular heating pad --- BEWARE!!! That ISN'T the one you're going to get! Amazon.com obviously has the wrong picture listed for this item. Second, the medium setting on this heating pad isn't nearly as warm as the medium setting on my old one so I have to turn this one up to the highest setting in order to get the same amount of heat. Third, once it gets hot (on the highest setting), it then starts to cool down. After it (cools down) a little bit, it heats back up again. After a few minutes, it begins to cool down again and so on. This cycle of heating/cooling is continuous the entire time it's on the hottest setting. I suppose it must be some sort of a safety precaution because it doesn't have an automatic shut-off feature but it's VERY annoying. Nowhere in the Amazon.com description does it mention this feature nor is it even mentioned in the instructions that come with the product itself. As far as heating pads go, this one is okay, I guess. But I was disappointed when I didn't get the one I thought I was ordering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh, pain free, March 15, 2006

This product exceeds my expectations. I use it for upper back pain, lower back pain, and neck spasms. The 3-position heat control is very useful. My only complaint is that the unit bunches up inside the removable/washable cover and you have to straighten it out every so often but that is easily accomplished.
