CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Expen$ive, But Worth it. -
I bought this heating pad because I have a neck and shoulder injury, and I wanted something less expensive than ThermaCare Air-Activated Neck, Shoulder and Wrist HeatWraps, Powerful Pain Relief Plus Deep Tissue Relaxation - NEW shape for improved fit - 9 HeatWraps, which work fantastically well, but were emptying my wallet. Our regular heating pad just wasn't staying on the right spot, even when I sat still in a chair. So I gave this a try, and kept the receipt in case it was junk.

It works! It stays in the perfect position to warm my upper back, shoulder and neck, and doesn't slide around. The heat stays on for about two hours, then slowly cools off. I assume that this is for safety, and it's no trick for me to reset the heating pad when it cools off. Now, I use the Thermacare when I leave the house, and this heating pad at home.

I noticed that the reviews on this heating pad are either very high or rock bottom. I think the problem is with Sunbeam's quality control. If you try this heating pad, (if you have an injury like mine, I highly recommend it); keep the receipt and make sure that the thing works. Keep trying the heating pad until you are close to the end of the time to return it. If you get a lousy one, exchange it for another one.

I know that doing the quality control for Sunbeam is a pain, and should be unnecessary. But I've never found another heating pad that stays on my neck the way that this one does, and it is well worth it to try a few of them until you get one that works perfectly.

Good product -
Overall, this is a good heating pad. To have 8 settings is wonderful. Also, the 2 hour cut off is very nice, and you have the ability to set your own amount of time, from one half hour to "stay on".

The reason that it does not get a 5 rating, is because of the big plug connector on the pad itself. It definitely gets in the way, but most of the time I can reposition the thing. Hopefully Sunbeam will redesign this.

I believe the best part of this heating pad is the velcro, with an extension velcro piece, that lets you secure the pad in place. You can also unplug the cord from the pad itself (turn if off first), so that you can go get coffee, or whatever, without having to rewrap it onto yourself.

I have owned 3 of these now. I use my heating pads every day. The first one lasted for 3 or 4 years. The second one that I bought, lasted only a few days, having the turn off problems that others have described... on for a few seconds, then turned off by itself. Instead of throwing it away, as some people said in their reviews, I called Sunbeam directly, as my Amazon warranty had expired. Sunbeam stands by their products. When I explained to them that I could no longer return it to Amazon for a refund, they immediately sent me a new heating pad, exactly like the bad one, and it has worked perfectly, for about 7 months so far. I did not have to return the defective pad.

Sunbeam builds perfect...lemons -
This heating pad is a total failure. Don't waste your time or money with it. It may actually work for a couple of times and then it will show the all too familiar F1 or F2 on the screenpad. Too bad the people at Sunbeam forgot to write in the manual what that means...or why it ceases to work when this happen. They must never use their products since this thing won't work. They should probably start selling this as a nice puzzle. Useless.

Nice feel, good control, does everything well but provide heat. -
It has a good solid well-built feel, and with eight heat settings and controllable auto-off times, what more could you want? Well, you might want heat. At the highest setting, it's just barely lukewarm. But today, during a power failure, with the house on generator power, I turned it on and at the lowest setting, it almost gave me serious burns. Definitely the electronics need some improvement.

Weak heat -
I agree with the reviews that found the heat to be lacking in this product. It does get not warm enough to do any good. Avoid
