5.0 out of 5 stars A good basic heating pad at a bargain price., December 7, 2006

By	F. Gillett (Salem, Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was pleasantly surprised when I began using the Sunbeam Health at Home heating pad (756-500). It heats up quickly and the heat is consistent. The controller is very easy to use, especially for those of us with arthritic hands.

There are no fancy features on this pad. No auto shut-off, no moist heat, an inexpensive cotton cover, and it is not over-sized. For the price I can't complain. The consistent, even heat more than makes up for the lack of features. This is replacing another brand which cost more than three times as much, was slow to heat and did not maintain a constant temperature (varied from too hot to not enough heat regardless of the setting).

If you are looking for a basic heating pad that actually works well, this one will fill the bill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chintzy, but the cat loves it., March 22, 2007

By	D. Hackenson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my aging cat, and despite the warnings ("Don't use this for animals"), I've used it and he's loved it. On the lowest setting, it is warm without hotspots, and when wrapped in a towel, it provides a very subtle, even heat. The controller is large, and I could see how someone with arthritic fingers might have an easier time operating it. The single slider moves easily, and there is a bright red LED to indicate that the unit is on, just in case you can't tell by touch. Overall construction seems a bit chintzy - cheap plastic with a flimsy fabric cover, but as long as it continues to do the job, I won't complain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be Warned..., February 27, 2008

By	J. Maeda "jennycat" (San diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this heating pad to warm blankets and towels for my newborn, but was sorely disapponted to find a tag on the cord that read, "The power cord on this product contains lead... wash hands after handling." It's made in China, so I really shouldn't be surprised, but I wish there had been a disclaimer in the item description.
