Customer Reviews of Sunbeam Health at Home Standard Moist/Dry Heating Pad
Customer Review: The heating pad works.
Summary: 3 Stars
You pay for what you get. The pad didn't heat up as fast as I imagined (after reading other people's reviews). However, it does the job. It keeps me warm during the night. The blue case that comes with the warming pad (the one you see in the picture) is of the crappiest quality cloth you can find. You know those disposable pillow cases or head rests you see on planes? ... It's kind of that quality...just more closely knitted.
It does what I ordered it for. For that I am happy :) ... I recommend you guys put it in your own pillow case for a more comfortable feel!
Customer Review: "MOIST HEAT A MISNOMER
Summary: 2 Stars
After soaking the sponge insert, you must wring out the "excess" water and then
place it behind the cloth cover. The amount of heat generated is negligible -
you can generate more heat by blowing on the affected body part.
An other shortcoming is the fact that the unit "turns down" for a while losing
heat.
The best way to achieve moist heat is to put a heavy wet towelette into
a microwave and then apply it to the body part. You can also wrap a water -
soaked towel around a hot water bottle for the same effect.
Customer Review: Perfect!

I needed a heating pad for my hedgehog, as it gets pretty cold in my house and her heating lamp just isn't enough. When I turned it on I was very surprised at how fast it heated up. Within seconds it was fully heated.
She loves it. I'm ecstatic there's no auto-shutoff, so I can leave it on indefinitely. It cools down temporarily after awhile, but I think this is a safety function, and I actually really appreciate it.
I'm sure it would do just fine for its usual purpose. It's water-proof and the cover is soft. Very cozy indeed.
Customer Review: Sunbeam Moist/Dry Heating Pad
Summary: 4 Stars
This is your basic Sunbeam heating pad with a 1/2 inch thick foam pad for moisture and a cover so thin you can see through it. The cover has only one securing snap, which allows it to slide off easily. The switch doesnt shut off automatically Those are the cons.
My pros are it is a good quality heating pad with a long company history. For moist heat, I just use a damp towel wrapped around the pad. This serves a double purpose, It helps hold the heat in the pad and it provides moist heat. And for the price I paid, it was a steal.
Customer Review: Works for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
This certainly does not get as hot as the vintage model heating pads, but it gets the job done. It does seem to get hot and stay hot for several minutes, and then go through a short "cool-down" cycle, before getting hot again. That feature can be a little annoying, but I'm sure it's there as a safeguard.
The outer blue cloth pad is soft and comfortable to use, even on bare skin. The electric cord is long, and the dial is easy to use and read.
