Like many other reviewers, I previously owned some some cheap Walgreens heating pads and found them to be usable, but they are cheap and not well made, and prone to failure after a short time.
This is a great heating pad. I love the HUGE size, it can cover my entire back lenghtwise, or I can put it across my lower back and it wraps around my waist a little bit which is really nice.
It heats up faster than any other heating pad I've ever owned, and it also gets hotter. This means relief comes faster and I don't need to use it as long which are both important factors. I don't understand the few reviews where people say it's not hot enough, they either have a problem sensing heat, are just wrong, or got a bad unit (whith I doubt). It is so hot that I cannot last longer than 10 minutes with it turned on (it has a 20 minute timer).
The soft felt-like outer cover is really nice too. It is thick, soft, and a good heavy-duty fabric. Washable too.
Lastly, it comes with a nice LONG cord just in case you don't have an outlet too close by.
The ONLY downside is that it doesn't have any heat control, just on/off. I used to think this was a problem, but after using this I now realize that the hotter the better and the quicker the relief. For those that have very sensitive skin or want something they can set to low heat to use as a warmer, this is not the right product for you Get more detail about Thermophore Arthritis Pad Moist Heating Pads - Automatic Switch - Medium Size - 14" x 14".
