Customer Reviews of Conair HP15RB Moist King-Size Heating Pad with Automatic Off
Customer Review: a smart purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
This product has been worth the purchase. This is my first heating pad, so I haven't compared products, but I am happy with this purchase. I don't suffer from back problems like some people, besides the usual knots and tension in my back and shoulders from sitting at a computer at work all day. I get a massage occasionally, and my massage therapist recommended to use a heating pad to relieve muscle tension. I use this product to relax the back muscles before I go to bed and to prevent further tension, and it helps (along with massages I get and stretching I do). I set the heat level on the pad to medium, which is the right temperature for me. I purchased 2 and gave one to my mother. She fell last year, fracturing her shoulder blade and bruising her back and arm. That was 6 months ago, and she continues to have back pain when she moves a certain way. She uses this heating pad not every day but frequently, and says it helps eases some of the pain. I think you will be happy with this purchase.Customer Review: Just not hot enough

We can send people to the moon but apparently the perfect heating pad is still beyond us. I bought this pad for hand/arm/wrist and neck rsi. Plus side: Great size that covers all back and neck; auto shutoff; long cord; 3 heat settings. Minus side: Too stiff to wrap around my arm or wrist; there's no way to turn off the auto shutoff feature which is on the quick side; and it's really just not very hot. I had your standard-issue Walgreens Sunbeam before this one, and it was several factors hotter (if that pad was a the temp of a nice hot bath, this one runs about the temp in in the shower when you know the hot water's about to run out). I need more heat to really relax my tight muscles. If you're heat-sensitive this could work for you. And my cat is quite fond of it.Customer Review: ConAir King Size Heating Pad with Auto-Shutoff
Summary: 1 Stars
My old heating pad broke and it have served me well. I used it as a foot warmer especially in cold seasons such as winter. I put on thick socks but that does not help at all and I hate wearing socks too. I've tried warm slippers but still didn't help. Then I tried the heating pad and it is perfect for warming my cold feet!
Anyways, after my old heating pad broke I got this ConAir heating pad. Do not get this heating pad, ConAir sucks. Get sunbeam brand instead. I tried this heating pad and set it to high and it wasn't warm enough. Also I tried to warm up the heating pad for 1 hour and still doesn't get any hotter at all, still stays the same. Do not get this product, I tried it. and now I am returning it back for a refund....
Customer Review: Not hot!
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this product for a year or 2 now and use it frequently in the winter to ease cold-related muscle cramps. I also have a Sunbeam and the difference between the two is night and day! The Sunbeam on high gets extremely hot, while the Conair on high gets...kinda warm at best. As for the actual pad itself, the Conair is very stiff when cold which kind of sucks when you're unrolling it but helps when trying to position it. The Sunbeam's pad is very flexible and comforms to you nicely, but is a pain in the a** to get to stand up on a chair without some sort of bungee.
In the end, I would not recommend this unless you only want warm at best. It has, however, been quite reliable and never let me down even with almost daily use.
Customer Review: Just what I wanted

This heating pad has worked great for me in the 2 months I've had it. I have an achy back and I lie on the pad to help me go to sleep at night. (Yes, I know you're not supposed to do that!) The medium setting is perfect-- hot enough to work on my back but not so hot that it's dangerous to sleep on. The auto-shutoff works fine and it would be hard to accidentally change the settings on the control. I haven't tried the moist heat. If you want a flexible pad to wrap around your arm or leg, this would not be the one to buy as the pad is fairly stiff. This works to my advantage, as the previous soft pad I used would wrinkle and bunch up. For what I use it for, this pad is perfect!
