Beurer HK55 Easy-Fix Multifunctional Heat Pad | Targeted heat application for your neck, back, stomach and joints | 3 temperature settings | Velor fibres | Elastic extension band | Machine washable

I get rather painful back spasms. I know baths as hot as you can stand them will stop the spasm and the pain, but one can't always run a bath, and more than one a day gives me skin problems (seriously) so this remedy is of limited use. Today I went out shopping, with my back already painful. By the time I returned home I was in agony and had been for some time. I put the heat pad on (on heat setting 3) and within 2-3 minutes the pain was reducing. Within 5-10 it was gone. It was heaven! However it has similiar problems to the bathing solution.., once the heat pad is no longer on, the spasm will return, sometimes quite quickly. The heat pad is not quite hot enough as well, even on setting three. I have to sit with my back pressed against a chair to make sure all the heat is conducted to my back. But even so, its not quite hot enough. Plus of course, when I most need it (moving around the house doing housework etc, anything involving mobility) you can't use the pad because it needs to be plugged in. The world has to come to a stop while you use the pad because it needs to be plugged in. That is obviously how its designed. Nothing you can do. It does what it says on the tin. But because of the design, it won't remove all the limitations back problems cause (painful mobility). However, none of the above remove the fact that the pad stopped the extreme pain I was in when I came home today. That makes it well worth buying. To update: I have found that an extra extending strap is included so the pad can be used for people of all shapes and sizes. I am a bit disappointed though to find the pad doesn't stay at the same temperature through the 90 minute period. It would be more effective if it stayed at the same temperature rather than spending half of the time at a cooler temp.

Good engineering and well made but a-little disappointed the warmth didn’t seem enough to penetrate unless left on at some length and you stay in one position for awhile.. which isn’t an option for some if you lead a busy lifestyle ..

Omg! Heat-tastic! This heat pad is such a relief from the pain I have in my lumbar spine. I have herniated discs, facet joint disease & type 1 modic changes. The lead on it is really long and although I do use it with an extension lead in the garden (sitting only!) I can def do ironing (rock and roll) and my work as well as relax with this on. . The fact it switches off after a set period is great too. It has a really secure Velcro fastener which even come with an extender if needed. It’s a nice size and nicely covers my whole lower back. I’ve rolled as per the instructions too as a neck warmer due to a few sore muscles! And again it works brilliantly. It certainly is hot enough for me 100% and the 3 different heat settings again super helpful (especially if wearing over different clothing thicknesses. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this if you’re looking. It’s helped and is helping me so much and I’ve had it around a month - 6 weeks. Frankly not sure how I lived with out it! Thanks Beurer

This is the second multi-functional heat up pad I have bought from Amazon my first one didn't last that long so I bought another one now this one doesn't work and it's not even a year old. So I'd like to know what you think of my comment as if I've got to buy one every year it works out bloody expensive I suffer with my back a lot hence why I've got a hot pad and I use it a lot of the time especially in the winter apart from the fact now that it doesn't heat up the lights on but nobody's home I like the hot pad Regards C ANDREWS

I bought this when I realised my chronic back pain improved with a hot bath so before buying make sure your back improves with heat, if you can. The kind of pain I have is low grade but didn't go for months. I used this primarily early in the morning for about 15-20 mins before I get up and it certainly makes getting dressed easier. But it was also good if I had strained my back during the day. It is comfortable and adjustable (there is an extension strap up to at least a 40 inch waist if you are not as slim as you once were). Minor niggles: It doesn't get massively hot (three settings and I always use 3 which is warm bath but not super hot bath temp) and alot of heat seems to escape out of the back (not the side next to you skin) which I think the manufacturer could address. The power chord isn't that long so you will need a socket near you or an extension cable. Also - and most seriously - when switching up through level 1-3 rapidly once, my lights fused. I now switch through carefully with no further problems. I think anything that alleviates back pain is worth it, and with low muscular stiffness it does provide some relief. The niggles reduce this to a 3 which might be a bit harsh: I could be persuaded to a 4. I would also say that I have followed the work of Stuart McGill (Google his books - well woth it) and got my pain under control now but I still use this occassionally.

The Beruer heat pad is an excellent product. I have used it almost every day since I got it and it does wonders for my aches and pains. I suffer from fibromyalgia - and warmth always helps with this condition. I have used it around my waist for my lower back, round my neck and over my shoulders. The velcro pads at either end hold together well, so the pad stays put. There are 3 heat settings and I usually use settings 2 or 3. I will probably be more inclined to use setting 1 in the summer when it will be used over thinner clothing. Overall, a brilliant product and I would recommend it thoroughly to anyone who suffers from pain which is relieved by heat. Even if you haven't got pain, it is also nice just to wrap up cosy with it in the winter, as it is lovely and snuggly and relieves all those winter chills.

Having suffered for many years with chronic lower back pain (due to 3 slipped discs), I have always used heat as a complementary aid to medication. When my most recent heat pad gave up the ghost, I was looking for a replacement, when I came upon this product. I was unsure about it, but the idea of having the heat applied directly to the affected area, with a belt to keep it in place appealed to me. How right I was to go for this heat pad. Although it doesn't get quite as warm as my old pad, it makes up for this by being very closely applied to the painful area. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who suffers with lower back pain.

It is an important equipment to cope with a cold winter. I use it most often when I am doing the reading rather than for pain relieve.

È un eccellente prodotto. Ho altri apparecchi della stessa marca e la Beurer non delude mai. In altre recensioni ho letto che non scalda abbastanza, io ritengo sia il giusto tepore: troppo darebbe fastidio. Se posso dare un consiglio, direi di migliorare l'elastico, che è un po' debole. Ma nel contesto mi ritengo molto soddisfatto.

Dies ist nun schon mein zweites Heizkissen. Genau das selbe hatte ich nun 8 Jahre im Gebrauch und es wurde gerade im Winter mehrfach täglich benutzt. Deswegen war ich erschrocken über die negativen Kommentare (hier und allgemein bei Heizkissen). Ich wollte mir als nächstes eig ein größeres holen aber habe mich wieder für das selbe entschieden, da ich eig sehr zufrieden damit war. Wollte es eig im Einzelhandel kaufen die haben es aber leider nicht herbekommen, deswegen über Amazon. Zur Temperatur kann ich sagen dass ich es meistens auf Stufe 3 laufen habe, also auf der höchsten und die wird schon ordentlich warm. Zum schlafen habe ich die Stufe 2 da es doch recht warm wird wenn man dauerhaft mit dem Gewicht drauf liegt. Ich benutze es nicht im speziellen für die genannten Anwendungsbereiche (Rücken, Nacken..) aber bei Regelschmerzen ist es auch recht angenehm und wird ordentlich warm. Ich hoffe das neue Heizkissen leistet mir genauso wie das alte lange gute Dienste.

It is really a fantastic thing. Had been working for 2 years now , wow nicely

Je recommande ce produit à toutes les personnes souffrant comme moi de douleurs chroniques, la chaleur apportée par cette ceinture coussin chauffant vous apporte soulagement lors de l utilisation après il en va de soi qu il n est pas la solution miracle mais pour un soulagement, une sensation de bien être lors de l ulisation, une utilisation simple on lui regrette juste l automnie pour un usage en extérieur en tout cas je suis ravie d'avoir acheté cet allié face à mes douleurs au dos.

Very good buy. Super fast delivery. Product is excellent!
