GENIANI Extra Large Electric Heating Pad for Back Pain and Cramps Relief - Auto Shut Off - Soft Heat Pad for Moist & Dry Therapy - Heat Patch (XL Black)

I literally bought this back in 2021! I have never had a problem out of it, good quality. I have chronic back pain and arthritis, so I have tried A LOT of different heating pads. Never have I had one this good. It still worked, my cord actually had wires showing where it couldn’t be fixed, so I am going to order a new one soon!

The large rectangular aspect ratio makes it perfect to wrap over my aching joints, getting old ain't for sissies! The auto off timer is a nice feature as I often fall asleep when using it. Wish it could get as hot as the ones in physical therapy clinic, but the safety gestapo won't allow it.

This is a good heating pad it works well and has a few settings as to heat level that also work well. The size is fine as it covers most areas well. It does auto shut off in case you forget which is a nice feature.

Update: Seller contacted me about issues noted in review and sent out a new heating pad. Hopefully, the controller issue was just a one off. I will update again if issues arise.I have had this for a few months and it worked well initially but, now the power/temp button only works part of the time. However, if I squeeze the control unit it comes on and the heat will turn up with multiple squeezes in the right spot. Obviously, this is not ideal and most likely not safe therefore, I do not recommend this product.

Great upgrade for my last heat pad. It has a long power cord which is helpful to make using it in different locations easier. I can use it in bed or sitting in any chair with the cord length. The large size of the heat pad is great. It covers my entire back. It is made of a really nice fabric as well.

While this heating pad gets HOT, you don't have to worry about getting burned (the last heating pad I had- I got some serious second-degree burns and bad blisters). There are three heating levels. Please see the photos of the timer- it is pretty simple to use- low, medium, and high.I didn't like that there is no timer on the heating pad- and it seems to turn off after an hour or two (I never have really kept track). But I use a heating pad most- at night- and the fact I don't know how long it takes to turn off- which means the lack of a timer isn't a bothersome feature with this pad. After almost a month- I don't think the feature is as important as I once thought.What I loved was that the night this heating pad broke, I ordered this one and had it in under 12 hours. I like to have heating pad access 24/7- so when the one I had broke after about a month and a half- I picked one out that was cheap and that would come quickly. Because it seems, no matter how much I choose to pay for a heating pad- none of them last me long. Why not try a cheap one after the expensive one broke after a month and a half?The one that lasted the longest was the only one I got for free- from my insurance (a few years ago). And it was the cheapest of the bunch. The most expensive one- gave me second-degree burns (with warnings I finally found out was in the fine print- the very very fine print they later pointed out to me) and broke after a month and a half. So I will see how this one lasts- so far so good.The heating pad size is overly large- as you can see in my photos- I took three larger paperback books and set them on the pad and there was still room on it- width-wise. The cover of the heating pad is also nice- and very comfortable. I also included a photo of the controller.I would encourage others, as I do with all heating pads after being burned- if you are using the beating pad on your bare neck or shoulders, even your back- don't fall asleep the first few times until you are sure your body can take the heat. You never know- the other pad wasn't even set to that high of a level (a five out of nine) when it burned me- it just got that hot. However, this heating pad has not done anything like that to me- I just always warn others now- just to be safe.I have had this heating pad for a month in a few days. So far I have had no issues, other than the fact there is no timer and that has not bothered me as it stays on long enough for me to fall asleep. I would say this is a great heating pad that can come to you quickly (if you make the right selections). And for a rough user- this one is still in good shape. However, if and when I have issues I will update this review accordingly below (and with a loss of stars, if needed).And if you're thinking of this item as a gift for anyone- I think you are an angel as I would love to be gifted heating pads as a present. Anything for a pain sufferer that can help- and heating pads do work (as a pain sufferer I know this to be true)!Please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you may have about this item. I will get back to you as soon as possible with a response- if I have one (and I will do my best to get one).Thank you*****************************UPDATE (why it went from five stars to two)Update on Review January 5, 2024- Being very upset about what happened with this product, I had to update my review and let others know about this heating pad.After a little more than a month of use (started to use it on Now. 30) this heating pad no longer works. I am tired of spending money on these things and then- they quickly break. However this heating pad gets the award for breaking the fastest.So, unless you want to pay to possibly use a heating pad for a few days after it most likely could have been returned (like I want to deal with that drama- returning it)- try another one. For the money this one wasn't too bad but for it to break after a month with it's lack of any features- I would try anything else (if I were someone else).Thank you.

The media could not be loaded. The 2XL is best if you need your shoulders to get the benefits of relaxation heat tension to heal. The blue one on the video is marketed at XL but feels slender. Im a thin individual and I would only use it for the spine. I will be using it for my lap hips or to place it on more concentrated places folded rolled up when I need it for example leg cramp or abdomen since it is a lot smaller than the word XL leads you to believe. They are both wonderful and heat really well high heat is impressive and I followed the instructions for how to use it and to make sure I don’t have any skin burns from overuse or tissue damage. Do you want to have time on and time off. My back injury requires me to get up every two hours and Move so I can heal faster because for every hour of prolonged sitting you’re putting twice amount of pressure on your lumbar and it takes an extra four days to heal for once sedentary day. I hope this video helps put into perspective why I chose the gray one for my back instead of the blue at this point I’ve been using the blue all along but I’ll be able to be more purposeful for my needs now. Time to heal the very large swollen bruise from the blood thinner vaccine to my stomach I got a week ago. The teal colored one was gifted to me and then I decided to look it up for the gray since there is a significant price difference between the colors for the larger 2X. They heat up really quickly and worked well. I an thankful for the timer.

I purchase from small businesses as often as possible. That's how they grow. In December 2023 I purchased the large pad. It covers my husband back, length and width. Size is sufficient. I was using it tonight for maybe the 10th time total and it just stopped working. Since I've had it a year and a half it's waaay too late to return it so of course I have to purchase another one.
