 Good buy! May 12, 2007
By K. Mackenzie
I really like this heating pad! It is everything I wanted for the price and I am very satisfied. I think it gets hot enough and has really helped my back. I like how soft and flexible it is, and the velcro strap helps hold it nice and tight against your back for the best heat. I don't have many problems with my neck although I did use it there one time. It is harder to get around your neck because of the size, but it still felt good the way I had it. Some people complain about the 2 hour shut off, which I don't understand. My husband is forgetfull and doesn't turn them off, which is a fire hazard. I like that it turns itself off, and even if I am still using it, it is not a big deal to turn it back on and it heats up very quickly. We may buy another one as we fight over this one at night!!

A heating pad that ain't too hot. May 14, 2007
By Brittany C. Pixton
This pad is comfortable and the velcro straps are very helpful for using it around different body parts. But it just doesn't get hot enough and the gray plug/switch is very clunky.

 Fire hazard Dec 02, 2007
By Christine the car

I really liked this heating pad until one day I smelled a scortching smell. Eventhough it has an auto shut off this got hot enough to melt its own internal heating wires. After we unplugged the device we cut it open just to see what happened and sure enough all of the wires we melting and there was a big black scortch mark. I read on line that certian versions of this heating pad are on recall.
I was really bummed because it was good for maintaining the heat right where you wanted it with the straps. I also liked the heat control it was nicer than most and I liked the different heat setting options.
TOO BAD.

Baby, it's cold on there Nov 27, 2007
By Rosemary Thornton

After using this thing for more than an hour, I still couldn't tell if my body was warming the heating pad or if the heating pad was warming my body. I tossed it under the bed in disgust and haven't used it since. It's got the fancy-smancy controls and velcro and looks pretty and shiny, but it's a major disappointment.
Remembering Mom's old heating pad, I went online and bought a USED heating pad - that dates back to the 1960s. When it arrived, I was pleased as punch. Fire that thing up and put it on LOW and the radiating warmth sends you to a state of raptured bliss. Set it on high and you'll be able to drop a couple eggs on it and fry 'em up real nice.
But this Sunbeam Heating Pad (featured here) is a waste of money. I was profoundly disappointed in its performance. On its highest heat setting, the warmth really is barely discernible. If you're in pain, you don't have time to waste on this.

Stopping working after 1 month Aug 16, 2009
By Heliopolis
I've never had a heating pad be a dud like this, but this unit started to malfunction in less than 1 month. It gave an error code, which at first I could reset by unplugging it. It was a pain to have to unplug it to reset it, instead of just pressing the on/off button. After a while it just showed the error, and I gave up on the darn thing.
It's otherwise a nice design & perfect for my needs - I strapped it to the back of my chair in my office to keep my back from cramping up while typing. Most heating pads without straps will start to roll into a bundle unless you are lying right on top of them. But I dont want to waste my money again trying another of these, given the extremely short life.
