Customer Reviews of Sunbeam Health at Home Heating Pad, King Size 14" x 18"
Customer Review: This is a wonderful product.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful product. It's the third brand I've tried, and it's the best. You can put a pillow behind your back to help the pad conform to your back, and you don't get any uncomfortable creases. It conforms perfectly to your back. You don't feel any wires, cords or any other protrusions. This is the best part. The quilting makes the pad cozy to have at your back.
Also, having the option of a permently on setting and a two-hour shut-off setting is great. Depending on the day you are having, you can choose your setting. Sometimes you need constant heat and sometimes you just need a little to get you going.
There are not any "hot spots" which is very helpful. When you move, you don't get suprised because a certain section of the pad is hotter than the rest.
I fully recommend this product. I haven't seen or tried better.
Customer Review: So Far, So Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw mixed reviews on this item so I thought I would take a shot since there are limited brands available in my city discount and department stores. I previously purchased a Soft Heat brand at Target and hated it (barely got warm and automatically shut off after 15 minutes). I ended up returning that one and ordered this one. So far, so good. The heat is hot enough (reminds me of my old heating pad that finally bit the dust after 20 something years). I like the digital readout and various heat settings. You can set it to where it does not shut off (stays on) if you need to sleep with the heat applied without having to wake up and reset (a very nice feature). I am hoping that it lasts many years like my previous model did (I think it was a Sunbeam).
Customer Review: 2 tries and it barely heats...
Summary: 1 Stars
How bad can things get? I ordered this mid-December; when it arrived, I found that it didn't heat up beyond a super-low setting -- even on High, it was barely warm. I called Sunbeam, and they said the control was defective and they'd send a replacement the following day. The replacement arrived on February 6th! I plugged it in and guess what? It was even more useless than the other! Some people on here have good functioning pads, so I suspect there are a number of bad ones, or they've been reconditioned or returned and Sunbeam is just playing Russian Roulette with the orders. I had a similar Sunbeam pad for years and I loved it -- it died after much use and I was trying to replace a really great heating pad. I'm really sick of this!Customer Review: Great heating pad at great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I both have shoulder and lower back problems. We use our Sunbeam heating pads every day. Since the features have already been well reviewed, I'll just add that we find them to be very easy to use and reliable. Previously, we owned four TheraTherm heating pads that cost WAY more than the Sunbeam ones, but they each lasted about a year and then were done, and we didn't even use them on an every day basis like we do the Sunbeam ones. The only suggestion I would have for Sunbeam is to make them a bit thicker, as they feel kind of flimsy, even though they aren't. They are well made, but I just like a more substantial feel, plus this would make them softer and stay on the shoulders a bit easier. I'd buy them again.Customer Review: Several problems
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with those who say this pad doesn't get hot enough. Maybe some people's do, and maybe some others just like the pad cooler. But on the highest setting, I don't think this got as hot as the low setting on my 30-year-old pad.
In addition:
1. It has a digital display with no backlight. You have to have the light on to see to set it.
2. Only the quilted part heats up, and that's about the size of a standard pad. The borders don't heat.
There were a few things I did like:
1. Long cord.
2. Washability.
3. The cover doesn't slip off.
Nevertheless, I want a heating pad that heats. I'm sending this one back.
