Sunbeam Oster Sunbeam Heating Pad, 1 ea

I had been waiting for a long time to purchase from Sunbeam's website and after months of 'out of stock' type message I did a search and found it at Walmart. Although the part number is exactly the same the features have apparently changed slightly. Only get the choice of 2 hour auto-off or manual on/off instead of 2, 4, 6 hour auto or manual. I do wish it still had all the auto shut off options. The control is mostly intuitive. I do wish the LCD display back lighting was on all the time as is hard to see/check the temp setting without having to hit an up or down button to turn the light back on. It would also be nice to have a separate indicator for the auto/manual off setting. I don't always remember which setting I selected, although auto off is the default. The pad is comfortable, can't feel it comfortable. It does have some kind of internal ribbing that helps keep the pad flat, especially when positioning/repositioning, yet is not noticeable when lying/sitting on/against it. I have another Sunbeam heating pad and it claims 30 second heat up time, and it probably is. It also is VERY hot during the first few minutes... have to definitely start at lowest setting. This heating pad is $8 less money (non-sale prices) and I can start it at any of the six heat settings, be comfortable during the entire time it is on and still get heat fairly quick. Much nicer!!! Heat feels very even, no hot or cool spots. The extra long cord is nice, don't have to go hunting for an extension!

The pad is very stiff with all those hard pleats in it Its not like most heating pads which are alot softer and have thinner wires in them.I wrap a towel around it to make it feel softer otherwise you will feel it.I like the on all the time feature so it wont shut off after 2 hours.

I had an old heating pad that stopped working and after going to many stores; 3 Walmart stores as well as Target and Walgreens to find a replacement, I was very frustrated because all of the pads they had have auto shut off at 2 hours. Due to my injury I need a pad to stay ON longer than that. I did a Google search and am so thankful to have found this model heating pad with a programmable feature to shut off the 2 hour auto off portion. The only pad that I've found that will do it! The size of this pad is generous and boy does it get hot! There are 6 heat settings and at setting 3 it's as hot as my old pad on set on high! Setting high is really hot! The digital programmer is easy to use and the pad has a nice soft cover. It's also machine washable. So if you need a heating pad that will give you relief for longer than 2 hours this is it!! Highly recommend!

I had high expectations for this pad but it gave me an F2 code on the led readout less then 10 minutes after I turned it on and shut off I tried sevral more times but it went to F2 within 15 minutes everytime in the morning I checked instructions and found F2 means there is internal short in the control...Sent it back for refund will find something else...

I HAVE TRIED ALMOST EVERY HEATING PAD ON THE MARKET AND THIS IS THE ONE AN ONLY ONE THAT LASTS. IT OUTLASTED AT LEAST 20 OTHERS. IT ALSO HAS THE VERY BEST FEATURES, WHICH MAKE IT EVEN BETTER.. 1ST IT HAS 6 DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES, 2ND IT WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY IF YOU WISH, AND 3RD IT WILL ALSO STAY ON INDEFINATELY IF YOU WANT.. 4TH THE PAD IT HAS, IS SOFT AND COMFORTABLE.. ALL OTHERS HAVE EVERYTHING INSIDE PLASTIC WHICH WEARS AND GETS BRITTLE.. THIS ONE DOES NOT NONE OTHER COMPARES...
