Product Reviews of SoftHeat Plus Heating Pad Moist/Dry, King Size, 12-Inch by 24-Inch
Product Review: You'll love this pain-reliever
Summary: 4 Stars
My last heating pad turned out to be a dud, so I went shopping via Amazon for another.
This time I want one which was (a) Larger to encompass both my hips at once, and (b)sufficiently well-made to last longer than 6 months.
Having osteo-arthritis, I need a good heating pad to help relieve the most intense periods of flare-up, and this baby does the trick nicely.
My only complaint is with the auto shut-off feature that seems to be mandatory in all new heating pads nowadays. For that reason I only gave it 4 stars. I'm a big believer in user/customer choice, and do not appreciate "Nanny features" to keep me safe from myself!
Otherwise, this is a great product.
Product Review: it gets warm
Summary: 2 Stars
It gets takes about 10 minutes to get medium warm even when it is set at the highest temperature setting. It never gets hot. I think that it has some sort of timer limitation because it seems to cool off after 20 minutes or so even if I leave it at the highest temperature setting.Product Review: very reliable heating pad
Summary: 5 Stars
Kaz makes a terrific soft heating pad with a thin sponge so that you can use it along with hot moist heat. I have relied on this product for years and it has never let me down.
It's easy enough to use. If you just want heat, turn it on and apply it to the area where you have discomfort. If you want hot moist heat then just wet the thin sponge that comes with it and insert the sponge carefully into the light blue "pillowcase" that the heating pad comes in. There are three settings for low heat, medium heat and high heat. This impresses me for a product in this price range.
It's also easy to store. After you finish using it you can wrap it up or fold it around itself and then store it in a drawer.
Just one warning: DON'T use this product if you think you might accidentally fall asleep while using it. This could potentially cause a fire if the heating pad were to accidentally overheat after several hours of nonstop use. It's safest to use it when you know you're going to stay awake. Amazon mentions an "auto shut-off" feature but I trust myself more when it comes to turning it off.
Overall, I highly recommend this rather fine heating pad with the sponge to apply moist heat. This heating pad lasts for years with proper care.
