Re: Sunbeam heating pad
Posted by jamie on 2/01/07

    Which Sunbeams model were you using?
    Which Sunbeam models were any of you using?

    I am considering purchasing a heating pad and so far I am considering
    these:

    1. Sunbeam Health at Home King Size Heating Pad with HeatSense Technology,
    Grey

    or

    2. Sunbeam Health at Home Hourglass Shaped Heating Pad with 4 Heat
    Settings and 2 Hour Auto-Off, Blue

    Please email me if you have had a bad experience with either of these.
    I would really appreciate it, thank you.
