Thermacure Moist Digital Heat Pad 14"X27" - Heating Pads - Massage Supplies

I enjoy the this pad. This is my 1st one so I am surprised of the quality and it was more than I expected. It heats well and the digital timer and heat setting is a plus for me.

I like the pad but have had problems with the two I purchased, each lasted appx. 1 year, then dysfunction with heat settings. Recent one stopped working, last one had one side which would be hot one side warm - then it died altogether?? Third times a charm??? I doubt it - but here goes...

... I purchased this heat pad in October 2010 and it's lasted exactly one year. No matter what temp I set it on, it goes negative. I contacted the company and was told it's beyond its warranty. Pretty steep price for a product that lasted one year ~

Pros: I was excited about the price and the ability to produce heat for 90 minutes. Cons: However, the digital read out only allows you to see the temperature you want and not the actual temperature its putting off or if it changed. It would have been nice to know, that it weighs 8 lbs! That is a lot of weight to carry around for out-calls. It also can only be folded how you see it or left flat making it awkward to work with.

I have used it for almost 5 years and I receive great feedback from my clients when using it. The cover is washable, and the cord is long. My clients and I like how heavy it is because it feels very secure and heats the muscles more efficiently.

I bought this about a year ago afer my Thermaphore finally wore out. I love the control settings on this. I typically keep it from 118-130 on my clients and usually lay it on them with a sheet or piece of flannel pillowcase between. The only downside is that this particular one is heavy. Heavier than any of the others They use a lot of sand in this to weigh it down. I wish they made a little bit lighter one (like the ThermaPhore) with these controls.
