POSITIVE:
1. For my lumbago was this "wide belt" ideal. Anyone who has ever tried to warm his back with a tiny heating pad, who knows what I mean.
2. Due to the dimensions and the generously sized Velcro can use each from slim to thick this "heating belt".
3. Unlike other users, where the power and thus the temperature is too low, I feel the temperature as beneficial - a higher temperature could cause burns.
4. Through the long connecting cable, a large radius of action is possible without turning off or pull the plug. I can thus, for example throughout the kitchen handling in the pleasant warmth.
5. After 1.5 hours, the device automatically switches off - protective shutdown
NEGATIVE:
1. The cord switch does not snap switching positions, as I previously knew it from heating pad. This must be switched very emotional to feel the positions. There are only a togheter resistance between the individual switching positions. Who has mobility problems, who makes the intermediate positions certainly not, only OFF and 3. FIG.
2. Absolute NEGATIVE point: The zero position, ie device-off also does not lock! The shift lever is simply pushed to the end stop, without snap. This allows the lever to be pushed through versehntliche touch to switch position 1 and thus turns the unit!
Inadvertent switching to the lowest level when the heating pad is used, for example, under a blanket, so is possible.
The protective shutdown after 1.5 hours is the danger that might occur by fortunately low.
CONCLUSION:
Heating pad as a broad belt, simply ingenious.
1 point deduction for the defect with the cord switch - at Bosch, this should not happen - but it's BOSCH Made in China!
Addendum:
August 23, 2013 - the heating pad is now 2 years in use, except for the described deficiency with the cord switch can not be faulted, everything was perfect.
