Thermophore MaxHeat Deep-Heat Therapy, Large, Standard 14" x 27" (Auto-Switch)

I’m glad I did some research before buying a heating pad. There are a lot of cheap ones on the market, but I definitely found the best of the best here. I really like how heavy the pad is. Not flimsy like the cheap ones. It heats up quick and turns off after 25min, which is the recommended use time. The size is definitely large enough to cover my whole back. I know I will still have this for many years to come.I wouldn’t recommend any other heating pad at all. This is the pain relief you’ve been liking for 😊

Muy bueno y súper útil. A mis pacientes les encantó.

The pad is gently warm in one minute, and reaches maximum heat within 3 to 5 minutes.With the pad laying on top the body it gets very warm, the pause and/or off button turns off heat at any point.The instructions say to not lay on the pad. When I tried laying my leg on top the pad, the captured heat was intensely uncomfortable.Curious how hot?> 1. I laid a candy thermometer between pad & body = 123 degrees.> 2. Pad wrapped around thermometer = 140 degrees.(Customer service says it can get up to 160 degrees if trapping heat by laying on it)> 3. Pad wrapped around thermometer, with blanket on top = 162 degrees.The pads moist heat penetrates tissue and joints which is very effective in giving remarkable relief.I purchased this to help with a knee injury and experienced improved mobility and less aches and painstarting from the first time of use. (Two 20 minute sessions)I felt the treatments alleviated soreness and jump started a healing process,because the area was still dramatically more limber the next day.OVERVIEW OF PRODUCT ~> 1. The 100% cotton cover is specifically designed to absorb moisture from the atmosphere between usesand release the moisture during heat activation. The moisture is obviously present because skin or clothing becomes slightly damp.> 2. Auto Switch ~ Small red light stays continually on to show it's plugged in properly ~ Aids finding switch in the dark.Switch has a bar of four blinking lights ~ one bar per 5 minutes. A light becomes solid with each 5 minutes used.Automatically turns off in 20 minutes. (Much nicer to use then Thermophore's 'Classic switch' (in their red boxes)which must be continually held down to heat)There's no control of heat settings, such as high - med - low. And no way to have it stay on continually.I phoned customer service to ask them why the product is designed this way, they said ~ safety reasons.Because it gets very warm/hot to provide good therapy, as hot as 160 degrees if covered or laid on top of,it can be harmful to a person ~ burns. And dangerous ~ electric shock and/or fire.> 3. Large pad (14" x 27") is weighted construction so it drapes better over the body. Pad with cover weights 2.12 lb.> 4. Latex free ~ On the box it says "contains no chemicals". Instructions booklet under warnings says"This product contains chemicals which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm".> 5. Made in U.S.A. Two year warranty from date of purchase, but if don't have receipt, 3 year warranty from date of manufacturing.Costumer service says they don't use reconditioned products, all replacements are new.A sticker on the end of the box contains the 3 digit model #, the middle 4 numbers are the manufacturing date.The first two # stand for which of 52 weeks of the year ~ the last two stand for the year. So 5113 = Dec 2013.This is an outstanding product in both high end quality and effectiveness.Suggested ~ effective uses for this moist heat, heating pad ~ arthritis pain ~ back pain ~ fibromyalgia ~ TMJ ~muscle spasms ~ chronic pain ~ and speeding the recovery of injury's.I found this #155 at out local medical supply store for $102.95 plus tax.I was delighted to purchase it on Amazon for less ($63.88 & free S&H)

I was looking for a heating pad that got REALLY REALLY HOT. I mean, my back looks like a lobster hot and quite frankly- they don't make em' like they use too.My mom's the same, it's scalding hot or nothing at all- she gave this a try too, I warned her meduim is as high as you want- she didn't belive me until she tried it.... THIS THING GETS HOT! It gets the mom seal of approval and this is from someone who has scoliosis, degenerative disc's, and overall chronic back pain. In the last 6months of her life she lived on this heating pad all day (8+hrs) and all week! Ive had it now for a couple years and its still kicking! This heating pad is worth every cent you pay! If you're thinking "hm, is the money worth it?." YES. BUY IT. THIS IS A SIGN. BUY IT. THANK ME LATER
