Customer Reviews of Sunbeam Health at Home 756-500 Standard Heating Pad with NEW Arthritic Controller
Customer Review: A good basic heating pad at a bargain price.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Maybe I got a defective unit.....
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the other reviews of this product, I am beginning to believe that I received a malfunctioning heater, because the one I got is terrible. It is very slow to heat up, and although it reaches sufficiently warm temperatures, it only maintains them for a few minutes before it seemingly shuts itself off. I've tried to "reset" the unit by switching it off and then back on, but it won't heat back up until after it's almost completely cooled off. This results in about a 20 minute cycle of which I might get less than five of satisfactory heat levels. Once again, I can't believe that people would write good reviews about a product with these characteristics, so I will be contacting the warranty office. Then again, given the price, I may just get a different one.Customer Review: Quality and price = great value
Summary: 4 Stars
My 86 year old mother, who insists on her independence and remaining in her home, has several age related joint problems that require heat for relief. On a daily phone call I found her old heating pad had stopped working, and she wasn't up to going out to a store to purchase a new one. I searched for the best deals on a Sunbeam (a brand my Mom insists is the best), and landed on Amazon's page with several Sunbeam heating pads to choose from. For the problems associated with my mother's needs, this Sunbeam Health at Home 756-500 fit the bill. While her mind is still clear, she does struggle with electronics that offer too many buttons and options. The price was right, with my Prime account it was delivered in 2 days, and Mom is happy again; which is priceless.Customer Review: Not bad for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this heating pad a few weeks ago and I think it works fine for what I spent on it. I don't like the new plastic smell it gives off. But I usually have it under a blanket anyways. The low settings are barely warm at all so I keep it on the 5th and highest settings and it's toasty. I do have a problem with ordering it via Amazon though. They kept changing the due date before I got it and the customer service I got was horrible. One customer service person said they would keep me informed with email updates regarding the delivery and I never heard back from them. If I had a chance to go back and order this item again, I would probably order it through someone else and spare myself the poor customer service.Customer Review: Excellent heating-pad!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent price, too!
I use heating-pads to give my pets their own heating options. A warm-corner for everyone: parrots, cats, bees, etc. And heating-pads are excellent for those needing some first-aid. I have priced, and tried, all sorts of heating-pads. I do not need timers, or automatic-offs, or special-coverings, or pockets. Nor do I appreciate-it when the heating-element fails after 3 months. This heating-pad strongly heats at high, medium, and low. It's handle/dial is simple and easy. If you have a special-condition you may need a $25-$40 heating-pad, but for simple, reliable, safe, spot-heating, this item does an excellent job at the most reasonable price. Recommend!
