Update 01/09/2015:
Meanwhile the cheap plastic connection between pad and power cord is broken, because the mat constantly slips back and forth and can not be fixed satisfactorily. By simply getting in and out is so faulty. While the heater is still working, but at the broken body protrude two pointed screws that poke me in my buttocks and make my pants and jacket broken. Item is sent back. According to Amazon, I get the money back. Thanks for that!
Conclusion: Stay away!
