To save fuel cost I turned the heat down in my house and put heating pads in strategic locations. I already have some older cheaper heating pads but was not very happy with them because they have hot spots.
Happily, this sunbeam heats evenly with no hot spots. However, even at the lowest setting it still gets too warm for my taste. The temperature doesn’t change enough between the lowest setting and the highest. Because of this I usually set it at the low setting.
The pad doesn’t come with a cover because the entire pad is washable. However I still prefer to have a cover. Washing an electrical appliance just doesn’t feel right.
As for the controller/switch, so far it has worked ok, albeit a little sluggish if I try to quickly go from low to high (always power up at low). The LCD display lights up for a few seconds only when the switches are touched. This is silly; the light uses very little power. There is no need to turn off the light while the pad is on. Anyway, when the room is dark, I cannot tell if it’s on or off at a glance. Fortunately it has a 2-hour timer, so if I left it on by chance, it would turn off in 2 hours.
The feel of the pad itself is nice and soft. Unlike my old ones with vinyl surface which feel cold and stiff when off and soft only when on.
It drains a tiny amount of electricity when off and plugged in. This goes against the green movement. A better design would add a mechanical switch so that when it is off, it uses no electricity.
Pros: no hot spots; heats up evenly; soft to the touch; washable
Cons: even at the lowest setting it could be too warm

I’ve had a Sunbeam heating pad for over 20 years, right now it’s still working, but it’s over a tablecloth but under a small wool throw, on top of my parakeet’s cage. He’s 12 years old and we live in a COLD climate during the winter. I finally decided to get another one for myself, but now I’ve got to share it with my Dachshund, she loves it too. [...]

The power cord pulling out is quite irritating, as is the loud controller…but the final straw was when I started getting “F1″ and “F2″ errors after about 10 uses. The pad refuses to heat up at all now. Sunbeam sure has gone downhill.

This produst appears to be an excellent heating pad until the box is opened. It is only then that the lead content in the wiring is discovered with a warning to wash one’s hands after using. Quite an inconvenience if one requires the use of this product! The warning should have been offering in the blurb on Amazon!
