GENIANI Electric Throw – XL Electric Heating Pad for Back Pain & Cramps Relief, Birthday for Women Men Auto Shut Off, Machine Washable, Heat Pad for Neck & Shoulder, 12×24″,… by GENIANI

Easy to use, warms up quickly and lasts a long time, also covers my whole back, both knees and more than half my legs, the temperature is very warm, tried other heating pads and did not heat up half as much…..it’s great!

Good size and soft material. But beware ON/OFF button can get easily turned it on. [4-5 stars otherwise.] For better safety, this should be redesigned with a sturdier switch, so it’s not easily turned on, or off, especially if it’s just brushed by an arm or a pillow while you’re using it. 
It also doesn’t state on the switch how long before auto-off activates (2 hours? 3 hours?). That’s quite a long time if inadvertently left or turned on, and at the medium/high level, it will get quite hot. 

While this heating pad gets HOT, you don’t have to worry about getting burned (the last heating pad I had- I got some serious second-degree burns and bad blisters). There are three heating levels. Please see the photos of the timer- it is pretty simple to use- low, medium, and high.

I didn’t like that there is no timer on the heating pad- and it seems to turn off after an hour or two (I never have really kept track). But I use a heating pad most- at night- and the fact I don’t know how long it takes to turn off- which means the lack of a timer isn’t a bothersome feature with this pad. After almost a month- I don’t think the feature is as important as I once thought.

What I loved was that the night this heating pad broke, I ordered this one and had it in under 12 hours. I like to have heating pad access 24/7- so when the one I had broke after about a month and a half- I picked one out that was cheap and that would come quickly. Because it seems, no matter how much I choose to pay for a heating pad- none of them last me long. Why not try a cheap one after the expensive one broke after a month and a half?

The one that lasted the longest was the only one I got for free- from my insurance (a few years ago). And it was the cheapest of the bunch. The most expensive one- gave me second-degree burns (with warnings I finally found out was in the fine print- the very very fine print they later pointed out to me) and broke after a month and a half. So I will see how this one lasts- so far so good.

The heating pad size is overly large- as you can see in my photos- I took three larger paperback books and set them on the pad and there was still room on it- width-wise. The cover of the heating pad is also nice- and very comfortable. I also included a photo of the controller.

I would encourage others, as I do with all heating pads after being burned- if you are using the beating pad on your bare neck or shoulders, even your back- don’t fall asleep the first few times until you are sure your body can take the heat. You never know- the other pad wasn’t even set to that high of a level (a five out of nine) when it burned me- it just got that hot. However, this heating pad has not done anything like that to me- I just always warn others now- just to be safe.

I have had this heating pad for a month in a few days. So far I have had no issues, other than the fact there is no timer and that has not bothered me as it stays on long enough for me to fall asleep. I would say this is a great heating pad that can come to you quickly (if you make the right selections). And for a rough user- this one is still in good shape. However, if and when I have issues I will update this review accordingly below (and with a loss of stars, if needed).

And if you’re thinking of this item as a gift for anyone- I think you are an angel as I would love to be gifted heating pads as a present. Anything for a pain sufferer that can help- and heating pads do work (as a pain sufferer I know this to be true)!

Please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you may have about this item. I will get back to you as soon as possible with a response- if I have one (and I will do my best to get one).

Thank you

*****************************UPDATE (why it went from five stars to two)

Update on Review January 5, 2024- Being very upset about what happened with this product, I had to update my review and let others know about this heating pad.

After a little more than a month of use (started to use it on Now. 30) this heating pad no longer works. I am tired of spending money on these things and then- they quickly break. However this heating pad gets the award for breaking the fastest.

So, unless you want to pay to possibly use a heating pad for a few days after it most likely could have been returned (like I want to deal with that drama- returning it)- try another one. For the money this one wasn’t too bad but for it to break after a month with it’s lack of any features- I would try anything else (if I were someone else).

Thank you.

I am SO glad I purchased the GENIANI Electric Throw – XL Heating Pad! This has quickly become one of my favorite home essentials. From the moment I took it out of the box, I could tell this heating pad was high quality.

✅ Generous XL Size

Unlike standard heating pads, this one actually covers the entire area I need! Whether it’s my lower back, shoulders, or abdomen for cramps—this throw provides full, even heat across a wide area. No more constantly shifting a tiny pad around!

✅ Incredibly Soft & Cozy

The fabric is unbelievably soft and plush—feels like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket. I even use it just as a throw when I’m relaxing on the couch.

✅ Customizable Heat Settings & Auto Shut-Off

I love being able to choose the perfect temperature. The heat is quick and consistent, and the auto shut-off gives me peace of mind when I fall asleep using it (which happens often because it’s so comfy!).

✅ Great for Back Pain & Cramps

I struggle with lower back pain and monthly cramps, and this heating pad has been a game changer. It eases discomfort within minutes and helps me relax deeper than any other product I’ve tried.

✅ Easy to Clean

The cover is machine-washable, making maintenance super easy—huge bonus!

Tal como se anuncia, tal como se entrega. La calidad no es premier. En general satisfecho con la compra, pero hubiera preferido una duración del temporizador de más de dos horas.
