Customer Reviews of Sunbeam Health at Home Standard Moist/Dry Heating Pad
Customer Review: Good heat, moist pad overrated
Summary: 3 Stars
The heating pad works great. It heats up quickly and stays hot. The moist pad for the heating pad isn't much more than a small sponge. I wouldn't buy this one just for the moist heat. A wet washrag would work just as well.Customer Review: new one every year
Summary: 2 Stars
I've owned several of these, and they always need to be replaced after about a year. Generally I retire them when the heating element goes out of control and starts overheating to the point of burning. The slow decline takes several months. First one of the 3 heat levels will stop working, and I will only be able to operate it on the other two levels, and finally I'll only be able to operate it on the last (highest and hottest) level. Then I will notice it getting WAY too hot for comfort. The pad becomes a burned color. A minor but consistent irritant also is that the cover is very skimpy, needlessly so, and his held on by a very feeble snap. The cover immediately falls off every time I use it. I recommend this product for a flame-resistant immobile person.Customer Review: "MOIST HEAT A MISNOMER
Summary: 2 Stars
After soaking the sponge insert, you must wring out the "excess" water and then
place it behind the cloth cover. The amount of heat generated is negligible -
you can generate more heat by blowing on the affected body part.
An other shortcoming is the fact that the unit "turns down" for a while losing
heat.
The best way to achieve moist heat is to put a heavy wet towelette into
a microwave and then apply it to the body part. You can also wrap a water -
soaked towel around a hot water bottle for the same effect.
Customer Review: It is okay not very good....
Summary: 2 Stars
I have purchased this heating pad for my knee joint. But it is not working satisfactorily. The reasons are as follows:
1-it does not get worm enough even if you set it to its maximum limit.
2- It does not maintain the temperature for long time ( not even constantly for 5 min..!!).
3- you cant tie it around the affected area as it does not have any provision to do so.
i am not very satisfied !
Customer Review: Not real happy.

Bought 2, and both crinkle up so bad and do not hold thier shape. They do not automatically shut themselves off after awhile either.
