Cordless is Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cordless Sunbeam Heating Pad is a real game changer! No more have to stay in one place while heating your sore/tight muscles or joints.
It’s got a rechargeable battery pack that powers it. The battery pack is not that big or heavy, and fits in a pouch on the side of the pad. It heats up quickly when turned on, and has 3 heat settings. Also has a wet
Heat option- just spray the fabric with water prior to use. The box says it’ll provide up to 4 hours of heat on a single charge when used on the low setting.

It’s got a stretchy elastic band that adjusts up to 55 inches, which is generously sized! (Nice for a plus sized gal like myself.)
And the pad and strap are machine washable, which is awesome!
I think this is just a great product and may be buying a few of these for others for Christmas this year.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can’t think of any negatives!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great heating pad! I am a petite woman and this pad is almost too big for me! The heat evenly disperses along the entire thing, which is wonderful for heating up the whole lower back or stomach. It is very easy to set up- just plug in the battery pack with the included charger and when the light stays solid green (about an hour or so later for me) then you are good to plug the pack into the pad, strap it on, and feel the heat. The box says it can stay warm up to 4 hours on the lowest temperature setting, but I put mine on high heat and it stayed that way for almost two hours. The texture is super soft and the adjustable (and stretchy) strap made it very easy to put on. My favorite thing about it is that I can move around and not be tied down by wires or trying to tie a hot water bottle to myself just to get up and do something. 10/10 go getcha one.

Gives me Freedom!
on October 4, 2020
Posted by: Noeticeye
from Henderson, NV
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I love most about this heating pad is that it gives me freedom to move around! I use heating pads a lot, but have always been stuck sitting on the couch or in bed with one. This cordless one provides me relief and freedom while I chase my toddler around, vacuum, do laundry, wash dishes, and I can even drive in the car through a drive thru with it on.
This is a total life changer for me because I love using a heating pad but have been limited to only sitting in one place while using one and only while my toddler is napping or after he goes to bed at night, because he tries to play with the cord or I'm constantly up and down helping him with something. Also because there is not a cord stretched out from the wall, my husband and other son are not constantly tripping over it pulling the cord out of the wall.
I am 5'5 135lbs and this heating pad is a perfect size for me. It provides full coverage over my abdomen for that annoying time of the month that us ladies dread, and covers my full lower back to help give comfort from chasing my toddler around. I don't know if this would provide full coverage on a larger man though. And the velcro strap that goes around your body adjusts to be very long.
The battery takes a very long time to charge, so I plan it out and charge it at night so that it is ready to use the next day. I can use it on low for about 3 hours and medium for around 2 hours. I don't use it on high because it gets too hot for me, so I'm not exactly sure how long the battery would last on high.
The only thing I am worried about with this cordless heating pad is the wire that you plug into the battery pack breaking. The wire sticks out of the pocket that holds the battery pack while you are wearing it and when you plug them together and put the pack into the pocket, you just shove the wire down into the pocket underneath the battery pack. The wire just awkwardly gets squished down in there, and I don't know how long that will last before the wire ends up breaking. We will see with time.. A better design might be a plastic dock that the battery pack gets pushed down into or something.

Discrete, portable heat right where you want it!
on March 30, 2019

from Bartlett, TN
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these heat pads a few times now and I really like them. I have mild lower back pain that the pads have helped to reduce, and also I experience menstrual cramp pains that these pads have been wonderful for. Before these pads I only had the option of lying on the bed or couch with a plug in heat pad on my abdomen. With these portable pads I am able to stick them on, crank up the heat and go about my day.
Pros:
Delivers a good amount of heat right where you want it.
Heat level is adjustable.
Small, lightweight, discrete, clips onto your belt or waistband.
Pads are reusable (up to 10 times each).
Pads are a great size - not too large, not too small.
You can use the pads one at a time or use both simultaneously.

Cons:
One more thing that has to be plugged up to charge.
Takes several hours to charge - the first charge took a little over 5 hours.
You will need to buy replacement pads when the pads no longer stick. I don't see those for sale anywhere yet so I'm not sure what the cost will be.

I think that a storage bag would be a nice addition to this kit - individual storage baggies for the pads to keep them clean, and a storage bag for the whole kit to go in when not in use and for traveling. I have mine stored in the original packaging and it can be difficult to get it all stuffed back in. This is a really cool idea and I do definitely recommend it.

All Day Pain Relief
on March 31, 2019
Posted by: MiD0523
from MS
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched to a higher intensity workout program and my quads have remained sore for the past few days, despite taking nightly warm soaks with Epson salts. I apply the patches on the low heat setting to ease my muscle soreness for periods of about 20 minutes throughout the day. After using the patches during the daytime for the past two days, my soreness has significantly diminished.
The rechargeable control unit is portable, just under 4”x4,” and comes with a clip to attach to clothing for on-the-go, hands-free use. After an initial overnight charge, set-up took about a minute. First, you connect the cords to the control unit and patches, then you apply the patches directly to the source of pain. Finally, you press the button on the control unit to select your desired heat setting: low, medium, or high. The high setting has a runtime of 20 minutes. The heat is instantaneous. You can use either one or both of the adhesive patches, and using one adhesive patch will extend the life of the rechargeable battery.
The large 3’x5’ heat patches can be reused up to 10 times. To lengthen the life of the heat patches and reach the upper end of this range, apply to clean skin. The patches apply comfortably to my skin and are not bothersome, nor do they budge throughout the day. However, the first time I removed the heat patches, they were a bit difficult to remove and a few hairs pulled free on each patch, so I would recommend applying to a hair-free area for the first few applications, if possible.
The portable heating kit has far exceeded my expectations. Gone are the days of single-use heating patches that won’t stay put! I highly recommend this starter kit for anyone seeking hands-free heating.

Very Convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sunbeam Cordless Heating Pad is very convenient for on the go and traveling. It’s also great to be unplugged while being at home. I love the fact that it can be charged and then used for a while. It heats up on 3 levels and each one gets hotter. The long velcro strap makes it easy to stretch around your body. The only thing is that it moves slightly when it’s strapped around you. I used it on my leg to soothe my damaged sciatic nerve and it worked wonders. It was great not to have to worry about a cord being attached. The only issue I found is that it didn’t stay charged very long, even though it claims to stay charged for 4 hours. Overall this is a great and convenient product.

Pain relief on the go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with this GO HEAT kit. It includes two patches, a small control unit with three temperature settings, connector cords and a removable belt clip. This is so easy to use. Simply connect the cords to the control unit and patches then pick your heat setting. The patches conform very well to all body curves and you can get 10 uses out of each patch. I love how compact and versatile this is. I can place a patch wherever I need it and hook the controller to whatever I'm wearing and go about my regular routine. I think this product has a great spectrum for treating minor to chronic pain. I will get a lot of use out of it.
