Like many other reviewers, I previously owned some some cheap Walgreens heating pads and found them to be usable, but they are cheap and not well made, and prone to failure after a short time.

This is a great heating pad. I love the HUGE size, it can cover my entire back lenghtwise, or I can put it across my lower back and it wraps around my waist a little bit which is really nice.

It heats up faster than any other heating pad I’ve ever owned, and it also gets hotter. This means relief comes faster and I don’t need to use it as long which are both important factors. I don’t understand the few reviews where people say it’s not hot enough, they either have a problem sensing heat, are just wrong, or got a bad unit (whith I doubt). It is so hot that I cannot last longer than 10 minutes with it turned on (it has a 20 minute timer).

The soft felt-like outer cover is really nice too. It is thick, soft, and a good heavy-duty fabric. Washable too.

Lastly, it comes with a nice LONG cord just in case you don’t have an outlet too close by.

The ONLY downside is that it doesn’t have any heat control, just on/off. I used to think this was a problem, but after using this I now realize that the hotter the better and the quicker the relief. For those that have very sensitive skin or want something they can set to low heat to use as a warmer, this is not the right product for you

I am a massage therapist and recently purchased the 14″ x 27″ (black box) Thermaphore by Battle Creek (the 14″ x 27″ covers a large area of the body on most people). It can easily be set for a 20 minute heat cycle by the push of a single button and heats up fast with MOIST heat, then begins cooling towards the end of the cycle. The Thermaphore reduces muscle tension so much that it allows me to accomplish therapeutically much more in a session than I’d be able to otherwise. My massage clients love it!

I am so disappointed in this product. It sells itself as automatic, but it is NOT. You have to manually hold down the button to get it to produce heat. Who wants to have to hold down a button to get it to work? There were versions sold as manual that described this. I purposely looked for one that was automatic to avoid having to hold down a button non-stop to get it to work. This product was sold as an automatic version (even the box says automatic). Having to hold down a button non-stop to get it to work doesn’t qualify as automatic in my opinon. I feel like I have been misled. I am very disappointed. I can only imagine use of this item on a regular basis would be very uncomfortable, defeating the point of trying to releave tension. Do not purchase this if you are truly looking for a hands-free item (beyond initially turning it on).

I have one of each size of the thermaphore. They are wonderful with the moist heat that they put out. The neck size arthritic one is a little different from the others I have. This one has a timed on/off switch, and because of that, the heat is not as intense. That being said, the heat is still more moist and intense than other heating pads. This one also, being as narror as it is, allows you to wrap it around and elbow, neck or knee.

The heating pad really works well and the moist heat penetrates deep! It feels great to be able to just relax and not have to worry about the timer also as this unit has the 20 minute cycle and will shutoff if you do not reset the cycle again.

The processing and delivery of the product was excellent as Isokinetics was able to give me the Fedex tracking info when I called and they delivered it that day! Thanks Amazon, my back thanks you too!
