Professional Grade Heating pad with Automatic Moist Heat by Thermotech - High-Heat Heating pad for Deep Penetrating Heat - Medium Size Analogue (14" x 17") - with Manual Clicker Controller

Great, big, and an effective use of moisture gathering and heat application for people with aches and pains seeking a heating pad that will become hotter than you need it to be at times. If you’re actually seeking a pad to simply warm you up, you may want to buy a cheaper pad with a heat setting switch. Those do not reach the same high temperatures, nor did the last one I bought get anywhere close to the max temps printed upon their manual. This has a pressure switch for safety as many people use these applied directly to their skin- this is done to bring the moisture gathering right along you skin to increase the pads ability to transfer heat to your body..

This heating pad gets really hot which I love. The only thing is that you have to hold the lever to keep the heat on. I wish that I had known that prior to purchase. I improvised and used a scrunchie to hold the lever for continuous heat.

I have lower back issues which required moist heat (alternated with ice) to relieve the inflammation. In the past I had used hydrocollator pad for the moist heat, but this required a lot of prep time for a one time use after which you had to reprep it to use it again. When I saw this pad could provide moist heat continuously, I wanted to try it. My first concern has to do with the way it draws moisture, but I have to take it at face value since it worked for me. The one thing I liked (I hated it originally until I began to use over the course of a week) was the way it heats (only while holding the infamous blue lever). At first I found this to be problematic but in time I figured out (for me) when to press it for max heat then release until it cools down to a certain temperature/feeling then repress it again until it reaches the maximum heat I can tolerate and repeat over and over again until it is time for the ice pack. One not I do think they could improve the product by allowing an individual to turn it on continuously at a given temperature thus meeting everyone's needs.

Works great - 7” wide is much more narrow than expected. Good for neck.

This is only 20 inches in length if you only count the heating part of the heating pad. And the manual switch that you have to hold down to heat it up and let go of it when it’s hot. It cools down you gotta press the button again. I think it’s way overpriced for such an old type thermostat I guess you could call it.

Most heating pads provide very little heat. My husband has back issues and wanted to heat and ice his back . He tried the heaping pad I bought at a local drugstore and said the heat was so weak it wasn’t worth it. I went on Amazon and found a medical grade one. It I gets really hot! The switch is one you jhave to hold for it to be on, and he wasn’t sure he would like that but it works because it heats quickly and you can’t leave it on for long. He is very happy with it, and as it cools down you get kind of a moist heat which is good!

I am massage therapist and this the best heating pad I have purchased. I is great because you can control the temp and time. The size is nice big and soft.

Would have been 5 stars for effectiveness The awful plastic smell equals a return. I’ve done everything to give it a chance to dissipate I even retuned one thinking it was an anomaly. The second one is the same. The “plastics” smell is intolerable I had same brand for years and never had this problem.

It doesn't work. Who has time to press the switch on? The company won't accept an exchange or refund. It's not fair when you purchase six items costing over $600. This is unfair to customers
