Sunbeam Heating Pad with Compact Storage, Standard Size

I purchased this heating pad to replace an older one that had hot spots so had become unsafe to use. I have found this to be an excellent product. The uniform heat on all three settings provide comfort over the entire area of the pad. There is an automatic shutdown to prevent overheating, and the storage pouch for the cord makes it easy to pack in a suitcase. I think this pad was a big factor in helping me recover from a painful muscle strain.

This heating pad is just okay. The soft front side is quite thick so it takes some time for the heat to come through. (I’ve just been using the “back”.) My biggest concern here is with the control mechanism. It operates by pushing down a button rather than sliding it up to change heat levels. I made the mistake of not unplugging the heating pad and, at some point, either the cat walked across the control or something got set on it and I discovered it at full heat unattended. UNPLUG after each use. The control button only needs a light touch. Also, check frequently if using for an invalid to avoid injury. I wish I had spent an extra $5 or so for something a bit better.

It gets plenty warm enough. Cord is easily long enough also. The auto shut off after two hrs. is really annoying. The pad has to cool down before you can resume with the heat.

I bought this same like item about 2 years ago, smaller version without the closure strap the one I bought had ties on the end. This version doesn’t get hot enough and through the thick cover you barely feel heat. Also the cover is soft and nice but quickly looks like a smashed mess. Even after washing and fluff drying it’s still a smashed mess. Sunbeam heating items have been a staple in our home since I was a kid but quality on the heating pads has not stayed the same.

I was so excited when I found this heating pad. I have severe back pain and sleep on a heating pad every night. It had more than one setting and that was exactly what I needed. I was so disappointed. I turned it as high as it would go. It would not have kept a flea warm in the middle of summer. Do not waste you money on this product. I desperately need to take it back because it was not cheap but I don't have a WalMart very close by and I do not like to go in the stores with the virus because I have health conditions that put me at high risk.

Don't buy!! I bought one and it worked for a couple of times so I thought maybe it was an isolated problem so I returned it and ordered another one. Only turned on a couple of times and then quit. Stay away from this one.

Won't any on…. Fire hazard

I just ordered this a week ago and it doesn’t even work. I’ve been needing to unplug it and put it back for it to work for 15 mins only. And I’m order for it to turn on, I need to unplug it again. Waste of a purchase. I’d put 0 stars if I could.

It comes on sometimes and shuts off randomly. Won’t come back on for hours. I had one prior to this one and it would stay on until I turned it off. Got so hot I loved that thing. I returned one because I thought there was a problem with the first. But this one does it also. Even if you wait the two minutes like the manual says it still won’t come on. It is no good. You have to take the cover off in order to feel the heat. Then it gets gross. I would not Choose this brand again as it has changed over the past few years and if your like me I use it every night. And the playing around trying to figure out which plug may turn it on or how cool the plug needs to be is a real pain. Sometimes it doesn’t come back on for days. Walgreens has one that is large and it is amazing. I used my moms to give it a try and 10/10 for sure. Please don’t wast your money on this brand it’s no good anymore.

Box looked open. Heating pad did not work and cover was obviously soiled. I have one of these and they are a good product, but not this one
