Does what it is meant for
Ignore the previous review. They must have bought it thinking it was some sort of pad to mould to your body. This is a heat pad that you put behind your back whilst sitting or you can lay down on it. It is not something that you tuck into your clothing or mould to your body. It works very well and gets very hot. The previous reviewer must want it so hot that it takes your skin off! All in all its been a brilliant buy, and I agree with the first reviewer.

too many design faults
Things I did not like

- the pad just does not get hot enough (its rated at just under 60w). The fleece covering acts like insulation and so to get the max heat out, you have to remove it.

- it takes a very long time to get warm

- there is a certain degree of stiffness. Combined with the size, it is difficult to position the pad over any area of the body and then to ensure that the pad stays there.

- to feel the heat the pad MUST BE FLUSH against the skin. If there is any air in between, you will not feel enough heat. In practice the pad always moved away from the skin and so one just ends up getting frustrated.

- the side of the pad with the magnets is significantly cooler.

- the shape of the pad means that the pad is very hard to position over the lower neck, shoulders and upper back.

Things I liked:

+ nothing I'm afraid.

Recommendation

Stick to a traditional hot water bottle. Use a wool water bottle "pillow case" and this keeps the heat a lot longer, distributes the intense heat in a moderated and skin friendly fashion. Plus the case and the bottle are cheaper.

Great value for money
I have just purchased 2 of these heat pads from Amazon as they are excellent value for money. Morphy Richards offer a 2 year warranty which is great and at £13.99 you can't go wrong. They are very easy to use. Just unpack, plug in, place behind your back and set the dial to the amount of heat that you require. I found that it heats up really quickly to the required temperature. Some people have reported that the pads do not get very warm, all I can say is that their pad must have been faulty as I have ordered 2 and both work very well indeed.
If you are looking for a heat pad at a good price then you really can't go wrong with this one, I would have given it 5 stars if it had been flexible enough to shape around my shoulders but as a back heat pad it is spot on.
