A Multipurpose Heating Pad in 2 Sizes
Sunbeam Heat Pads provide soothing heat therapy for muscle and joint pain. They also work well as general-purpose energy-efficient heaters - like a hot water bottle you don't need to refill! Here are some of the features of these heating pads:
Two size options. Choose between the Standard (35 x 40cm) and XL-sized (38 x 50cm) models.
Multiple heat settings. You can customise the temperature to your needs with five heat settings.
Fast heat-up and precise temperature control. The heat pads will reach their target temperature in just 90 seconds. Sunbeam's Intellisense Technology then maintains a consistent temperature throughout use, based on your chosen setting.
Soft, washable fabric. The heat pads are made with a smooth, velvety polyester fabric. You can detach the heat pad from its controller and machine wash it.
Auto-off timer. These Sunbeam heat pads will turn off automatically after three hours, preventing unnecessary energy usage and ensuring safe operation. This feature is handy if you fall asleep during use or forget to turn it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do both models have a 'sleeve'?
No, only the standard size includes a fabric sleeve, which can hold the heat pad in place when treating arm or leg muscles.
How much do these Sunbeam Heat Pads cost to run?
Sunbeam heat pads are incredibly cheap to run. They use a maximum of 110 watts of power, typically restricted to the initial rapid heat-up phase. The average power use over time is less than 50W, which means they'll cost you about 1 cent per hour of operation.
What happens after 3 hours? How do I restart the timer?
After three hours, the blue standby light indicates that the heat pad has switched off. Press the power button to restart the timer.
Can I machine wash the heat pad?
Yes. Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord and controller from the heat pad. Detailed instructions are provided with the product.
Can I sit on the heat pad?
Yes, you can sit or rest up against the heat pad, provided it's not folded.
