Beurer HK Comfort Heat Pad, Flexible Warming Electric Heating Pad with Super-Soft Surface, Controllable Warmth with 3 Temperature Settings, Machine-Washable, Automatic Switch-off, 100 watts, 44x33cm

Think small version of a electric blanket (about the size of a lap try) and you are not far from wrong. Husband thought that when he first saw it, as a tiny electric blanket for leprechauns. I do sometimes wonder who I live with.....Whatever he thought if it made my OA feel any better is was worth trying, easy to plug it into the pad and a longish cord (could have done with it being a little longer) but no real issue. Only thing is I can not leave it plugged into the wall socket and just switch the pad to on when wanting to use it so have to bend down and plug it in, annoying when the back flares up but then again it can be moved and used any where there is a plug, so chairs are made more comfortable with this behind your back relaxing any muscle aches or muscle spasms. It does feel nice and soothing on the back, knees and shoulders have tried it on most areas when having a bad flare up and it does not take away the pain if only but helps if only for the soothing effect. Most people will tell you that if in pain you will try virtually anything if you think that it might help if only someway. For me this did and still is, using it when having a read or a sit down when the aches start think the real benefit will be come the winter months when you tend to hunch yourself up more and then feel the muscle spasms more so. Will update in a few months time to say how it is faring.It heats up so quickly and the control switch lights up so you can see even in the dark if on and what setting.After ninety mins it switches itself off, a good job incase you fall asleep with it on. I very nearly fell asleep with it on my knees, only for husband to wake me up and tell me it was still on, yes, he did not know it goes off after ninety mins as a safety cut out method. So pleased with the heating pad but not pleased with other half.So nice and comforting, no messy hot water bottle tops to mess with (fiddly at times especially if suffering from OA in hands). No back and fro to the microwave to heat up a pack for not that long time. Well nothing as long as the heat this seems to keep and can be just warmed up again when needed at a switch of a button.It feels soft and no bulky or anything heavy on it the heaviest part is the control switch and even that no too heavy. Could do with an all over body one come the winter months.

I only ordered this pad early evening last night and to my amazement this morning at 8.45 it was delivered to me!I was most impressed! Amazing service! I unpacked it, plugged it in and it it works a treat! I suffer with a bad back and these little pads help me tremendously. I cannot thank you enough Mr Amazon, unrivalled efficiency!

I received this on 22 December. Looked good, worked well. It stopped working on 31 March. Informed the manufacturer but have had no response so far. I want the item replace but it says the cut-off date for returns is 31 January. Surely it carries a warranty for longer than 14 weeks.

This product is overused by me. I love it. I use it for pain relief for more than a year and it still well.

I thought that it was an excellent product for my fibromyalgia muscle pain. Unfortunately it stopped working just after 9 months of continuous use, I used it every night on the bed and it's reassuring to know that it switched itself off after 90 minutes, so I plugged it into a digital timer plug which I set to switch off every 90 minutes then to switch back on 1 minute later.I found level one was just right. Much better than using hot water bottles to relieve the pain. Although it's guaranteed for 3 years and lasted 9 1/2 months, at roughly 11 pence per a relatively pain free nights sleep was worth it in that respect.I purchased a different heat pad to replace this, but it has 6 heat settings and level 1 was just too hot. So I use that one in my recliner chair in the daytime.I have since purchased another one of these which is perfect on level 1 at night, but if I'm getting severe pain then level 2 seems to relax the muscles back down!

This has been very good for relaxing muscles in my shoulder blade area, and in my thighs. I put it on when watching the TV in the evening and its comfortable, relaxing, and makes the muscles feel soft and less painful. A single use for a few hours eased the pain somewhat, but over a period of sessions (3-4 days) it has eliminated the pain. It doesn't get too hot and cools down very quickly when you turn it off.

Great item

Overall the build and design is okay but it takes ages to warm up.
