I am very pleased with this heating pad. I especially like the automatic shutdown. Thus, it is not a problem if I fall asleep at night should times with activated heating pad. The division into three heat settings has convinced me of this product. So I can regulate the desired heat better. Previously, I had only a two-stage model. With this, it was always too cold or too hot. In addition, the circuit was questionable hot during use, which is not the case with the Beurer heating pads. I use the heating pad now for several weeks and am more than happy with it. Thanks to the manufacturer!
