Beautiful and perfectly adequate

If the woman asking for a heating pad, then you have probably had its day as a "hot water bottle". So I had to act.
The heating pad selection is not easy, some manufacturers as "Soehnle", "Beurer", "Sanitas or" AEG "also offer similar products.
So I decided instinctively and with the help of reviews of this Bosch-heating pad.
The differences in the reviews are far apart. It's almost like when buying a car, the heat sensation is quite different. In any case, you can not expect griddle temperature at a heating pad. To check times more detail, not that I feared the effort to identify a couple of readings by thermometer. According to the manufacturer, the heating pad should not be operated without the washable pillowcase. The operating unit with the 3-position switch (Off, Level 1,2,3) should not be covered, so that it is not so warm. The operating unit is only slightly warm during operation. As a visual inspection a glow lamp comes inside to use. With an energy meter has a power consumption of max. 60 watts measured in all 3 levels. The power consumption varies by the electronic temperature control between 60-40 and 0.90 watts.

Data:

- Auto power off: 90 minutes
- Pillowcase (burgundy / gray): 36 x 47cm
- Internal flow type heating mat: 34 x 44cm
- Cable length 220V plug to 3-position switch: 1.50m
- Cable length 3-position switch to heating pads: 0,70m

Readings at 21 ° C ambient temperature (measured by infrared thermometer and mercury thermometer):

Level 1:

- Between mat and pillowcase (s): 35-36 ° C
- On the exposed pillowcase: 32-33 ° C

Stage 2:

- Between mat and pillowcase (s): 40-41 ° C
- On the exposed pillowcase: 36-37 ° C

Stage 3:

- Between mat and pillowcase (s): 43-44 ° C
- On the exposed pillowcase: 40-41 ° C

The measured values ​​are of course relative and may vary slightly among different conditions. If one is, for example, on the pillow or it has on the body, the second temperature will be higher (on the pillowcase). The corresponding temperatures (which I have not quoted separately) can be achieved after a few minutes.
My wife was pleased with heat level 1, so I must have done right by purchasing the Bosch heating pad everything.
