Selected User Reviews For Thermophore MaxHeat Arthritis Pad Moist Heating Pad Size Large 14" x 27" - Model 155
The past decade has been a challenging one for me I have been using Thermophore products on a regular basis since the early 1990s to temporarily relieve symptoms of chronic pain. In looking for a new MaxHeat device to replace my old one, I noticed that the manufacturer had released a new model that included a switch allowing three levels of constant heat. I decided to purchase the new model. a single-digit code It is still possible to purchase temperature switches. In the past, I had to turn it off quickly when the heat became unbearable, and turn it back on again when it cooled. With the new switch, I can change among low, medium, and high settings, but for my purposes, the medium setting works best. In an ideal world, I would set the temperature to "medium" and forget about it until it automatically shuts off after about 20 minutes. Is 25 minutes long. Practice has shown it to be more of a two-part affair The process consists of several steps. As the time to reach the three settings isn't the same, the thermophore will not heat at the same rate. This is why the higher the setting, the faster it will heat. For my treatment, I set the switch to the "high" setting for several minutes before lowering it to the "medium" setting. This has proved to be more effective than turning it on the "medium" setting immediately at the beginning of Even so, this is a minor inconvenience for me, and using the new switch is still a sigh of relief over continually turning the Thermophore on and off.
There was a part of me that wanted to like this product even It has a nice, large size, is soft to the touch, and heats up It has been a few weeks since I bought this heating pad, so I clearly should've read the other reviews more carefully because there are several problems I'm experiencing that have caused me to purchase another heating pad. *** **** 1. There is something heavy and floppy about it. As a result, the pad wants to bunch up and fold over, so when I placed it behind me, it was difficult to get it to lie flat. * b. 2. Extreme heat makes it unbearable to live there. It seems that this is a concern that is common among customers, so reading the reviews more closely would have helped me make a better decision in this instance. Despite the heating pad's three settings, anything above low is intolerable, so the medium and high might as well not exist at all. In this case, I like to adjust the temperature, and my options are high, lava flow, and hellfire inferno.
3 As with the other features, I could have made a better judgement if I had done some research beforehand. There is less than a half-hour difference between the start and end time. It irritates me to no end! The moment I turn it on, it starts turning off before I can even enjoy it. The moment I realize that it no longer emits heat, I have to click it off and then turn it back on. It's okay to have an auto shut off, but I think 20 minutes is excessive. 4.
The last thing I wanted to discuss is something I had hoped would go away, but it is a significant factor in deciding whether or not to purchase Basically, this is what the smell would smell like. When I first took it out of the packaging, the smell of chemicals was strong and it got worse whenever I heated it When first using the product, I thought it might have been just because it was new. However, after repeated use the smell has remained the same. My headaches have repeatedly been caused by it, so I've found it difficult to use the product. My only regret is that I wish this had worked for me, especially considering the cost. However, I have since purchased a large Veken heating pad that really works for me.
In the morning, I checked my Amazon account and discovered that I purchased this item almost exactly two This has been an amazing product that I have used every night for some time now. On the other hand, it caught on fire literally and violently last night in the middle of the night. Flames crackly, the whole nine It woke me up, so I stamped it out with a pillow as soon as I saw it. My only thank goodness is that I am not a heavy sleeper or that I have taken sleep aids. Please be sure not to take a sleeping pill while you are sleeping if you have one or are considering purchasing one.
It is worth saving your money for another product. I purchased this product because it was warrantied. A little over a year ago, I received it. I took the picture with the paper clips about three months ago, when the heating coils started to bunch up and it became quite a bit warmer where it was not. The cover for the heating pad began unraveling on both sides 3 months ago. It burns when I use the heating pad on low settings, which is visible in the picture with the safety pins on it. The heating coils bunched up as of two weeks ago, with the safety pins indicating the bunching. Before I contacted them about the warranty, I would like to get it three months before I contacted them about the warranty, since he is the only thing that gives me relief for my back, so I use it a lot. The only way to contact them seems to be over the phone, if there is another way to contact them it is hard to find since I haven't figured it out yet. It takes money for you to send it back to the company where they take it apart and decide if you can get a warranty. If you do qualify for a warranty, you have to call them first. In the event they decide against you, you will not receive a refund. A new one will be sent to you in FOUR WEEKS if they decide in your favor. I know I could not survive that long without a heating pad because heat is the only thing that works for my back. To use in that time frame without a second one, I would have to purchase one more, along with the cost of shipping out the old one. While waiting for my warranty to be completed, I bought another one to use while it was being repaired. If I had to send this one out for warranty, I would definitely not purchase Then and now. It was nice when it worked properly - I gave it a 2. However, when it doesn't work out, I want to give them zero stars - the heating pad is worth much more than the company - so I didn't.
The return policy is non-existent. I was ordering a heating pad that you hold in your hand and a switch turns it on when you hold it for as long as you hold it. I didn't order that last time. I ordered the heating pad that you hold in your hand until The device shuts off when you let go. There is no return policy listed on the website of this company. My understanding of Amazon was that it was not possible to do so. The Heart Rate Monitors USA will never sell me anything. I will watch this closely and never purchase anything from them.
