Professional Grade Heating pad with Automatic Moist Heat by Thermotech - High-Heat Heating pad for Deep Penetrating Heat - Mini Size Analogue (19" x 7") - 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..

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 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.

I will say- this thing heats up FAST. It gets incredibly hot quickly which is great. However, it is NOT a timer, nor an “on/off” switch. It’s a ridiculously terrible design that I can’t believe I overlooked- the button is a manual lever that must be pushed and held to heat the pad. It must be released once you’ve reached your desired temp. This is a major design flaw, because you have to constantly click the lever and release it so that you don’t burn yourself, and it’s an endless cycle until you either get relief or give up. God forbid you want to sleep on the thing. It was a total waste of money considering you can get identical heating pads with an actual on/off timer control. The pad did come with a soft, removable cover for easy cleaning. The size we purchased was odd; it was long and narrow- making it great for a shoulder or neck, but not beneficial for large areas like back or stomach. Overall, I’m not impressed, and wish we wouldn’t have bought. We quickly purchased the same heat strength, but with timer control.

I didn’t realize that the heater is not automatic. You have to hold the button down to keep it warm. However it heats up quickly and stays warm for several minutes after the button is released. Overall not a bad buy.

Works great

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.

This is a well made heating pad. The switch is pretty easy to use, but you have to manually hold it on. It gets very hot very quickly, but then cools off quite a bit, even with the button held on. There must be some sort of thermal switch internally that stops it from overheating. They should say this in the description. If there is not one, then it just doesn’t work very well.

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
