Heating pad for Back, Neck, Shoulder, Cramps and Leg Pain Relief, Heat Pads Christmas Gifts for Women, Men, Mom, Dad, Auto-Off,Machine Washable,Moist Dry Heat Options,Extra Large 12"x24"

This heating pad is amazing. It has 6 heat levels on it and an automatic shut off so you don’t leave it on too long. It has a really long cord so you don’t have to sit right next to the power outlet in order to use this either. It is a good size and can cover most of my back or all my belly depending on where I need to put it. This is not heavy at all and it helped me so much when I was sore. It’s also great just when I get cold. The cat also likes to sit on it when I’m using it. The fabric is soft and fuzzy so it is comfortable against skin as well. Great price.

I Love this heating pad! I have purchase/tried 3 other heating pads this year!! This is it! It gets very hot when needed, but feels great in low settings too. Has helped my neck and back pain a ton! The cord length is awesome and doesn’t have to be plugged in right next to you! The controls are easy to use. When not in use it is easy to roll up and put away or roll up and take with you where needed.

Color aside (the mauve-ish side is not attractive to me), this is definitely a five-star heating pad out of the box. (The official cover is "orange-red". The opposing side is a dark gray, for reference.)It's clearly not just another copy of the "standard Chinese factory 12x24" pad Amazon is flooded with. I own one of those, and we're not directly comparing them. This is different, and let me tell you how it's better. For the rest of this review, I'll call this item "mauvy" and my old generic one "bluey".Mauvy is 20x24, Bluey is 12x24. If you're a taller person (I'm 6 foot.), and you want to lay on the couch with a heating pad from upper back to lower back, covering both sides, Mauvy does this. Bluey doesn't. My upper and lower back both ache, and laying in the crux between seat cushions with my feet up on an ottoman, Mauvy is currently warming ALL of me. Bluey could either cover all of upper or lower, OR just my central spine.Bluey is rigid, and doesn't flex much. He feels kind of like a cheap pet bed. Mauvy is thinner and FAR more flexible. He curls around me (again, in that couch crook), and I'm getting full contact all over -- no wrinkles, no lumps from the height difference... again, that size is helping here.Bluey's temperature control sucks. He gets REALLY hot, then just kinda falls off. He has six settings, and they all start off on High, then feel weaker and weaker. I start him on 1, then move to 2 when it stops bothering to heat, and repeat the process. Once 6 is done, I turn him off and start again. It's pretty dumb.Mauvy here... I've only used 1 and 2 so far. Because they cycle so imperceptibly that I can't notice it. Each number feels different, and that thinner, flexible nature is getting him right where I need him. No need to overheat myself anymore.Bluey is a power vampire. He draws 2-3 Watts when plugged in and turned off. It's enough that the controller even feels a little warm. I'm always reticent to leave Bluey alone and connected. My Kill-A-Watt says Mauvy draws 0 Watts when he's off. It's probably not quite zero, but it rounds down at least. The controller is properly cool to the touch.Mauvy's cord is slimmer as it attaches to the blanket portion. Combined with the extra width, I'm never laying on it. Bluey likes to jab me with his.Bluey starts with an automatic timer of 2 hours, and you never know how much is left. His options include "2 hours" and also "2 hours". Mauvy starts with 30 minutes on the clock, adjustable in 30-minute increments up to 2 hours. He gives you a countdown displayed in minutes.I've had Mauvy two days, so I can't speak for durability yet. I've had Bluey for three years, and I confess he's the same he always was.Spend the extra $15 and buy Mauvy. If either of the other colors suit your life better, maybe choose them. I just spent fifteen minutes writing this review, and Mauvy has gently repaired my back from a day of helping my friend move. One of these two used an emotional connection to squeeze hard labor from me, and the other selflessly put me back together afterwards. Who's the real friend here?

I’ve had this for almost 10 months and for the part, it’s worked great. However, the white disk that attached the wire/plug to the actual pad broke off. It’s not able to be put back together unless I glue it, but I’m not sure how that would work with the heat aspect. It still works, however now the wires inside the pad will come out and I have to put them back in.

So convenient and easy to use on lower back. So much better than the older vinyl ones that don't stay flat. Simple to control heat levels....nice longer cord. Highly recommend this Valgeluik heating pad. You won't be disappointed.

Heats up fast and well. Would like the cord to be longer, because lets face it, who sits next to a wall outlet? But it works fine. Would ilke it a bit larger though. For a 2xl guy, it doesn't cover my lower back well.

Works as it should, Nice size. Longer then most pads. Is long enough to go from shoulders down to hips to heat full back muscles. Covering is better then others I have used. Controls easy to understand and use. Shuts off automatically. Gets really hot if you want or just warm if that is what you need.

This states all, and I guess I did not pay attention to the size. It is most definitely not XL. I just hope when I decide to wash it , it will still work.
