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.

Great item

1.0 out of 5 stars Never gets hotter than tepid

T.D. · 26 November 2024

Turned it to maximum heat, wait for it to get hot. Plug fell out of connector, plugged it back in, waited for ten minues, barely tepid. Waited for another ten minutes, still not hot. Absolutely useless, never gets above tepid, tried putting it on my back, couldn't feel any heat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful for localised pain or back pain

I’m using this product for a while now.Heating nice, won’t burn the skin. The performance is the best, and can be used for different conditions. I found it the best after Gym.The material is durable and the product itself is versatile.It has a great value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good heat pad, effective against pain

s. · 17 January 2022

I have rheumatoid arthritis so I've tried several electric heat pads over the years.My old one died recently, I tried a randomly branded one but had to return it, and ordered this Beurer one as it's a reliable brand.I'm so glad I paid that extra fiver because so far this is perfect.It's very basic, and does exactly what I want.There's one large oval switch with 3 heat settings, i tend to use the highest. It turns itself off after 90 minutes if you forget.It's a good thickness, large enough to cover all my lower back and reaches a decent heat. It can be detached and washed if necessary but understandably recommends only doing so if absolutely essential.It can be spot wiped.I'm very happy with it and happy to recommend.Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIFE WITHOUT ONE IS UNIMAGINABLE

I've had two of these Beuer heat pads - the full back and neck, and the lumbar only versions - for several years.The most used (and the most abused), the lumbar pad, recently gave out; I thought it was the controller, but it turned out to be the pad itself, which promptly kyboshed the other controller (they are interchangeable) when I switched it over. So I've just bought this.Mixed in amongst the high praise for the many different versions of this product are a good few condemnatory reviews; not enough heat, soon failed, etc.; but a few things need to be borne in mind when deploying them. First off, even with quality-controlled, automated mass-production processes, no manufacturer that I've come across produces 100% perfect products year after year; if you get a duff one from a major firm such as this, instead of wingeing about it in a review, you should demand a replacement or your money back. Bolo makes this pretty easy (although their system isn't 100% perfect, either). It's worth noting that Beuer offers three year guarantees.The PERCEIVED heat emission from these products varies enormously for more than one reason. For example, if you're pretty old (like me) the heat from these pads won't feel as strong as it does for a twenty-something. (Older people can easily suffer burns unknowingly from, for example, hot water bottles, because of age-related sensory degeneration.Secondly, much depends on whether you apply the heat to bare skin or through clothing, and if the latter, what kind of clothing and how many layers.Thirdly, the greatest effect comes from firm, tight, overall contact, whether against skin or through a garment. A loose contact will have you barely feeling the heat at maximum.Fourthly, the absolute maximum effect is achieved if the heat pad is trapped between you and, say, a mattress or the back of a chair - which Beuer used to warn you not to do, but which I always did anyway for best effect. However, they don't seem to mention this any more, so I suppose it was always OK.Life without these aids at this age would be bordering on the intolerable, notwithstanding the availability of gel packs, hot water bottles and wheat packs - none of which can offer anything like the sustained, steady output of an electric pad, which can lull you to sleep in complete safety over an hour or more. I've also just ordered the newest version, apparently a heated cushion, from Germany for almost £55. From a parsimonious one such as I, there can be no higher praise

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

Works as a charm
