Customer Reviews of Sunbeam Health at Home 756-500 Standard Heating Pad with NEW Arthritic Controller
Customer Review: Design flaw caused it to arc, shocking me and nearly setting my bed on fire!
Summary: 1 Stars
All of the current design of Sunbeam heating pads share the same design flaw. At the bottom of the controler, the wires are unreinforced at the join. This cause a less-than-one-year-old, NEVER abused heating pad to shock me, and then as I jerked my leg away, to arc in an enormous burst of sparks and smoke!
DO NOT BUY!
Not only this, but my previous two Sunbeam heating pads broke after less than 2 years of used each. The only reason I got more is because I got them replaced with Sunbeam's old lifetime warranty plan.
Customer Review: Sunbeam Heating Pad with Arthritic Controller
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent product that has easy to set controller, even heat and is very dependable. It is perfect for my Cat's Bed and her Kitty Condo. I have two heating pads. She is spoiled, but she just goes and curls up and it is very comforting to her. It is so much better for her than other brands that automatically turn off in a couple of hours. The "on light" is easily seen so it can be turned off when not in use. Thanks for a great product. I wholeheartedly recommend it for whatever your use would be. Eugene N.

Summary: 1 Stars
After having a heating pad for 20 plus years, I purchased a new one from amazon December, 09. It lasted about 3 months. I did not have the receipt or box so my only recourse to to buy a new one. Again, this one worked well initially and then started to go on the fritz. Sometimes, it would not heat up. I would have to fiddle around with the controls etc. Sometimes it will heat up, other times not. I am frusteated. I am handicapped and it is difficult for me to box this up and go to the post office to send it back.Customer Review: Safety is a concern here
Summary: 3 Stars
The size of the heating pad as well as how much heat it generates is fine, but it does not have an automatic shut-off mechanism, so if you happen to fall asleep as I did once while using it, you will wake up surprised to find a very hot pad! This is definitely not a "feature" but a problem. I find that I am not entirely comfortable using it. It's the first time I have ever used a heating pad that did not have an auto-shut-off time. I didn't notice this when I bought it or I would have thought twice about my purchase.Customer Review: Not so great
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a replacement for a much earlier version of this heating pad, which I owned for years. This doesn't get as hot or stay hot long enough. I am disappointed. I guess that's we get now that things are coming from China. I'm not a xenophobe and I'm very well-traveled. I just don't think there is any quality control in that country as proven by this product (and many others.)I know this is inexpensive but so was my last one; and I was very satisfied with that for many, many years.
