Product Reviews of Sunbeam Flexible Heating Pad with 5 Heat Settings and 2 Hour Auto-Off, Blue
Product Review: Good buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this heating pad! It is everything I wanted for the price and I am very satisfied. I think it gets hot enough and has really helped my back. I like how soft and flexible it is, and the velcro strap helps hold it nice and tight against your back for the best heat. I don't have many problems with my neck although I did use it there one time. It is harder to get around your neck because of the size, but it still felt good the way I had it. Some people complain about the 2 hour shut off, which I don't understand. My husband is forgetfull and doesn't turn them off, which is a fire hazard. I like that it turns itself off, and even if I am still using it, it is not a big deal to turn it back on and it heats up very quickly. We may buy another one as we fight over this one at night!!Product Review: Good product

So far we are happy about this product. No problems whatsoever, it does what it promises, it is easy to wear.Product Review: Great for targeting neck/shoulder pain.
Summary: 5 Stars
I own both this heating pad and the sunbeam 885 model (the fuzzy green one). My wife, due to her small frame, prefers the 885 since this one won't sit right on her.
But for me, I'll wear the pad diagonally, across the trapezius (where neck slopes to shoulder) and connect the velcro strap so that the pad is tight against my body. As I have it, the pad's wider middle section runs up the side of my neck to just below my ear and across my shoulder.
Given its design, it is the best heating pad I have found for my needs - pain on left side of neck and upper back due to nerve impingment/ cervical disk degeneration.
Product Review: Great while it worked, but it quit working after a year
Summary: 3 Stars
A friend introduced me to this heating pad, and its flexibility has been useful for some neck and shoulder aches I've experienced. As another reviewer mentioned, the cord attachment can be a bit awkward to position, but it hasn't been that much of an issue for me.
In the past few days, I've noticed the light next to the "high" setting flashing, while no heat is being generated. None of the buttons - neither the Off/On buttons nor the heat up/down buttons - will get rid of the flashing. Unplugging the heating pad for a few seconds and replugging it worked/seemed to reset it a few times, but now when I try the unplug/replug thing, once I plug it back in and hit the On button, the light next to "low" comes on for a moment, then the "high" light starts flashing again.
I found the instruction manual online and reviewed it, but it doesn't mention this behavior. But another review that I read here indicates that this has happened to at least one other person and seems to signal the death of the heating pad.
I checked my order info, and I see that I bought this one year ago today from Amazon; I would estimate that I've used it about 20 times, mostly on the low setting. For $45, I would expect it to last longer than 20 uses on low. I won't be replacing it with the same model, given the other experiences that I've read here.
Product Review: Heating pad

I am purchasing this for the second time. My old one was about 3 years old. I would have liked it to have lasted longer. Other than that, I love the way you can wrap it around and it stays in place. It also gets very hot. (You can press the right button after the unit is on and turn off the timed heating.) Worth the price to keep the heat right where you need it.
