The heat from this one is great. The Model 55 is the way to go if you need serious heat fast to the muscles. Others, I'm not sure if it's the 155 etc, that have a different internal covering that makes the heat less intense...the wife has one that she complains doesn't get hot enough, but this one...gets hot, fast and in a hurry. Been without one for several months after the switch broke, so I'm glad I was able to get one at a decent price...even with paying for faster shipping. Had different purchase sent by USPS mail that took over a month to get here, so no way I'm voting by mail. :) This one even arrived a day earlier than stated..very happy with product and purchase.

Very difficult to control heat. Was unaware there were different modles in the same size. Bought for my mother who is 84 to replace 1 she had and she is unable to control heat and we need to by a replacement.

We like the release clickers the best. have ordered many for other people. Different sizes. But the 14 x 27" is the best size for us and others. Great product. Thanks for keeping it. God bless

This pad is great for chronic pain sufferers. It gets really hot and that gets the heat in down deep where it is needed. The pad is large enough to cover a large area. An example is across your entire upper back and across the neck area all at the same time. Get the one with the hand-held "trigger," as it will be released if you fall asleep, eliminating the possibility of burns. This is my third one in a 20-year period. The first one lasted for years. The second one lasted for about three years. When they go out, the problem lies with the circuit board in the thermostat. So ... keep the box and your receipt, as there is a two year warrantee on these items.

My physical therapist recommended a large heat pad. A review of existing products led me to choose the THERMOPHORE. It is well built and large enough to cover all back muscles to speed relief. It heats up quickly. The manual on/off switch is great as it prevents overheating sensitive areas and prevents one from falling asleep while the pad is on.

Best heating pad on the market. Gets moisture from the air so produces moist heat. Has a safety switch to prevent user from causing skin burn. Available in many sizes although I prefer the large size. price have not changed over the past 50 years. I have owned several over the year and will no do without having one at home all the time.

Best heat pad ever made. Bought first one in Battle Creek as lived there. It broke (wires in handle) and they fixed for 20 bucks. Paid 75 dollars and lasted for years. They stopped repairing them so had to buy new. I love it, always on my bed. I bought one for 47.00 for this one. Great deal. Last one lasted 30 yrs.

This heating pad was purchase for my mother as an xmas gift. I bought it although I thought the price was a bit high at first. Once she explained that the one it was replacing was 25 years old I realized the unmatched value of this specific item. My mother uses these heating pads on a regular basis on her back. The last one just failed after 25 years of service to her. This is unheard of in the would of consumer products. Stuff just isn't made to last these days. Manufacturers are only worried about sale. This item is the top of the line and 100% worth every penny.

Absolutely what I needed for raindrop massage therapy. Pad covers most of the body that needs heat following hands-on therapy. Please be advised that the controls are handheld and must be continually pressed in order to produce heat. Once released, the heat discontinues. Nice, moist heat. Good product.

If moist heat is what you need.... THIS IS IT ! I had to replace my 14 year old pad, and did so happily. You just can't beat this type of therapy. I not only replaced my old Thermophore, but also bought the 14" X 14", and the 4" X 17 " for neck, knees and Elbows. These are the best on the market.
