Customer Reviews of BodyMed ZZHP1427 14" X 27" Electrical Digital Moist Heating Pad
Customer Review: Just What the Therapist Ordered...
Summary: 5 Stars
An unusual neurological condition resulted in pain that radiated from my shoulder area down to my fingertips. The occupational therapist recommended heat to help alleviate the discomfort. However, even though I'm short, I'm not so short that a standard heating pad would cover the entire area. I did my searching on Amazon and found a number of longer heating pads, but the cheaper versions appeared to be just that - cheaply made and having unsatisfactory performance. Reliamed had the best reviews, seemed geared toward professionals which indicated it would be longer lasting, and was reasonably priced.
The Reliamed Heating Pad is a heavy-duty piece of equipment. The pad is well made and the covering is constructed of tightly woven flannel. The pad is large and for me extends from my shoulder to nearly my fingertips. Taller individuals will not obtain that amount of area coverage, but will still find this one of the larger pad areas available. The cord is not the typical flimsy electric cord found on most commercially available heating pads, but is the thick, round type found on professional products; the plug is three-pronged. The digital control is easy to use and easy to reset. It beeps once, softly, when it is turned on and five times as it shuts off; the quiet beeping is important if you use this at night and sleep with someone who wakens easily.
There are two minor things I feel could be improved; however, they are not serious enough to cause me to give this item a lower rating. There is a piece of velcro attached to one side of the cover which is in the middle of the cover. If you do not wrap the pad around the body part being warmed, it gets in the way when you be lying on the pad. The longer velcro piece extends beyond the top of the pad and also gets in the way. I have not cut it off because there is always a chance someone might need to wrap this around their lower back. However, the size of the pad and the amount of velcro attached would limit the individual's size to less than a 37-inch waist circumference. The second issue is that the pad heats about ten degrees beyond the set temperature when first turned on. My therapist recommended a temperature of 108 for my problem which means this initially heats to 118 degrees before dropping down to the correct temperature. I have found that by turning the heating pad on about five minutes before I am going to lay down, I can have it heat up and reliably drop to the correct temperature before I need it.
If you are in need of a longer or professional grade heating pad, you cannot go wrong purchasing a Reliamed. My therapist liked it so well, she is purchasing several for her clinic. Had I not found a Christmas special, I would have purchased at Amazon as their price and customer service are outstanding.
