Does a great job and really helps

Very good for my painful back

Good for keeping warm

Three years ago, I bought this heat pad for my mum, who suffers from arthritis. It’s the perfect size for wrapping around her affected knee, providing the helpful relief she needs.The pad is made from extremely soft material. It heats up very quickly, I’d say about twenty seconds, and on the highest setting gives more than sufficient warmth for easing aches, or just to use as a more efficient alternative to a simple hot water bottle when the weather’s chilly.The power cable is flexible and a generous length at about 7’3”/2.2 m, with the controller about 2’6”/75 cm along from the pad. It has a clear display showing the heat level and timer. There are just three buttons: • 🌡️ Temperature +/- • 🕘 Timer +/- • ⏻ On/OffThe timer options are: • 1 = 10 minutes • 2 = 20 minutesEtc up to: • 9 = 90 minutesAnd that’s it. There’s no permanent on option, apparently for safety, although you can always reset it whenever you please.Heat settings range from 1 to 9, then H, with 1 being least warm and H being the warmest, so effectively H=10.While still plugged in to the mains: • Clicking ⏻ off on the controller leaves a single red dot on the display as standby. • Previous heat and timer settings remain stored until switched back on.When unplugged from the mains: • Display is blank. • Both settings reset to default level 4 when next turned on.-Pros: • Reliable 3 years on• Very soft fabric• Convenient size• User-friendly controller• Multiple heat & timer settings• Long cable• Hand & machine washable (see instructions)• Reasonably priced-Cons:• No “permanent on” timer option• Small print on buttons could be hard to read for some peopleOverall, this heat pad is well-designed and is what I hoped it would be. My mum loves using it almost every day, says it really is helpful in reducing aches, or just for its comforting warmth. Now over three years since purchasing, it’s still as good as the day it arrived: for the price I think you get what you pay for, so I’m happy to recommend and give it five stars.I hope you found this review helpful

This is such a comfort. It warms up fast and the timer on it means it won’t stay on longer than you need. There are lots of temperature settings so you can find just what you need.. it you have back or hip pain this would be ideal as because you can heat then unplug and wear the pad using the strap attached. 5 stars.
