K&H Pet Products Indoor Heated Cat Bed Pad for Large Cats & Small Dogs, Thermo-Pet Mat Calming Warming Pet Heating Pad, Machi 5 Short-haired cat is addicted to this! TDu*** We adopted 2 kitties a few months ago and have been spoiling them rotten. This little guy, Jyn, is 2 and is from Thailand, so he's constantly cold. My husband got one of these heating pads for the bed, in attempts to deter the kitties from crawling under the covers - it worked, but Jyn refused to leave the heating pad and socialize. We finally got another one and set it up in the living room so at least he'd be in the same room with the family. I think he's self-weaning and has gone back to laying in laps on occasion. But you can still find him on one of the heating pads at night! They don't seem very warm until you put pressure on them, so I think they are safe to keep plugged in. It is easy to remove the cover to throw in the wash. I would recommend these! B000S9M2V8 US
K&H Pet Products Heated Cat Bed Pad for Indoor Cats, Thermo-Kitty Mat Calming Warm Pet Heating Pad for Inside Pets, Machine W 5 One Happy Kitty Shaw*** She was very skeptical for about a week. She would actually walk around her favorite spot to avoid the new Thermo-Kitty Mat. I finally coaxed the cold kitty into lying down on it and getting cozy. Now, I doubt she could ever be happy without it. She is very content and relaxed resting with her new best winter friend. Thank you for a wonderful product! B0040U3MI8 US

Pepper HOT Chocolate Habanero Great Heirloom Vegetable 35 Seeds 5 Excellent Seeds with Near 100% Germination Alexander *** I bought these in winter at the same time as several other types of pepper seeds from a few vendors. If you look at the picture, you'll see how many more chocolate habaneros turned out relative to the other ones. There are still a couple in the dome, too. I was a little apprehensive, as these seeds were so cheap, but they turned out to be the best ones I received. I used the moist paper towel in a ziplock method to start the seeds, transferred them to a 72-cell planter with a heating pad and a grow light set to 12H on/ 12H off. There may have been a handful of seeds that didn't sprout in the paper towel, but I do not remember there being more than a few that didn't. However, I got 16 good plants started (only 10 are shown, as 6 others are waiting to be transferred until I get a second light) and am confident they will continue to do well. B0061RXP58 US
Calesco Full Watt Hard Side Waterbed Heater 4 Purchased approximately on 9/1/19 ron *** Writing this review three weeks later off of memory of other reviews. The heater works just fine. The cord was long enough to reach the middle of the bed down by the knees and all the way up to the top corner. This was on the king size bed. The light is hard to see and it does not have any degrees on the thermostat control. Which to me doesn’t matter when it’s warm just stop when it’s cold just turn it up until the light comes on. I remembered someone saying it took three weeks to heat up his water bed. Getting adapter to the sink of your bathroom for a garden hose and fill the bed up with warm water. It is a small heating pad which will reduce magnetic field . One thing that happened was it did not come with a repair kit and fill kit. I got another one and it didn’t come with one either. I just got a re-rebate. Enjoy B00BOVQB7U US

Outsidepride 10 Seeds Annual Ptilotus Exaltatus Joey Garden Flower Seeds for Planting 3 So far, the germination rate is low. We ... Ruth*** So far, the germination rate is low.

I hope most of them eventually will germinate and perform well in the garden. B00NCRE4GO US
TENS 7000 Digital TENS Unit With Accessories - TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator For Back Pain, General... 5 Provides AMAZING relief from horrific menstrual cramps! I LOVE THIS THING. T.*** I've suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps for about 15 years, and I've tried everything - from acupuncture & herbal medicine to OTC & prescription NSAIDs to powerful pain meds to heating pads and all the teas that you could brew - nothing worked. Every month I miss 1.5-2 days of work (used to be school) because I'm in so much pain I can't even sit up straight, let alone stand. I read an article about a small buzzing machine that could eliminate cramps, and in the comments folks kept saying it was like a less powerful, more expensive TENS unit. I had never heard of a TENS unit, but immediately started researching. I bought this machine AND IT WORKS LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER USED BEFORE. IT IS A LIFE CHANGER! Set up is fairly straightforward, and they include a quick guide and a full instruction manual. You simply put the included 9V battery in, plug in the pads and the electrodes into the machine, stick the pads wherever you need relief, and turn the machine on. You can adjust the placement of pads, the voltage strength, and how the pulses are delivered, and the machine can be programmed to run continuously for up to an hour. It provides pain relief like I've never had, which gave me a good night's rest, something I have NEVER had while suffering through the first 2 days of my cycle. Most of the positive reviews you'll see are for other muscle aches, but trust me ladies - this thing will kick even the toughest menstrual cramps' butt! B013IJPTFK US
Pure Enrichment MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier - Quiet Air Humidifier for Bedroom, Nu... 4 PURE heating pads Susan *** I have had a few of these heating pads.

K&H Pet Products Extra-Wide Heated Cat House for Outside, Outdoor Cat House with 2 Safe Escape Doors, Weatherproof Insulated 5 Outdoor kitties stay warm and safe Patr*** We bought our first K&H Pet Products Outdoor Multi-Kitty House in September and received it on the 15 th. My husband assembled it right away. The assembling was easy. The nights were getting very cold. We adopted a kitty that was almost one years old according to our good neighbor who is taking care of the homeless mama kitty. Right away our front porch kitty loved it. The pressure activated heating pads was fantastic. It is well insulated. Now other cats were were finding it and our little kitty ended up on our front porch rocking chair trying to stay warm in the cold while his mama and another cat squeezed him out. So this one was loved so well we bought a second one, which arrive November 16th. All is well on the front porch. Our little one is snug in his own kitty house. This is a very fine product. I have no idea about the rain, and being on the ground, but I know that if it works on our open covered porch then this would be great for others. It does have rain resistant material and it is insulated. And they blend in and do not stick out like a sore thumb. They look really nice. Hope this helps those who are trying to make a decision. I know that we are thankful for stumbling upon this great product. B01I15S6OM US
BN-LINK Reptile Thermostat Temperature Controller, Digital Heat Mat Thermostat for Seed Starting, Plant Germination, Greenhou 5 Great customer service Ashley*** Great customer service!

Therawell Warming Clay Bead Body Wrap Heating Pad, Perfect for Neck & Shoulder, Hot Cold Therapy Wrap with Lavender & Chamomi 1 Not Good For Heat Bonn*** I returned this. Have had a Bed Buddy brand one for years, which heated up very well and held the heat. It works well for headaches, and we wanted a 2nd one because my daughter has been getting a lot of migraines. She chose this one. This item did not heat well at all. The instructions on the packaging said to heat for 20 seconds and then 10 second intervals after that. That was way off. Even after ten 10-second intervals it wasn’t even lukewarm. instructions on the listing were different. Tried those also and it still didn’t get warm enough. The scent was overpowering but I assume it would lessen over time. I’ve ordered a Bed Buddy instead. B073PTZCJ4 US

MediCrystal 3-Gems Non Electric Mini Pillow 17"x5"x3" - Amethyst Jade Tourmaline Healing Combination Uses Body Warmth to Release Infrared Rays & Negative Ions - for ThermoGem Heating Pads & Mats 5 Great pillow and a nice surprise! John *** I love the pillow that was sent with my MediCrystal Mat. The quality is unmatched and the hand sewing of the gem covering is very appreciated. I have chemical sensitivities and the glue that is often used in these products makes me sick, especially if it is a heated product. This pillow is the perfect accessory for the mat. I love using it under my knees when I am laying on my back. It gives just the right amount of lift so most of my leg is still touching the mat but my lower back is protected. Thank you for including the pillow with the mat. It was a wonderful surprise and I am thankful to have it. B076F45G55 US

I only used it in the evening for about an hour at a time. Paid $81.00 for it and it quit after about three weeks. Got an error code, contacted the company and have heard nothing from them. Finally heard from them and they wanted me to take pictures of the error code and the controller. Did that a week ago and never got another response from them. They said they would replace it but wanted the pictures first. B07GVGXF5P US

LUCID 4" Down Alternative & Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Twin XL – Three Toppers in One – Fitted Sheet Style, 100% Cotton 2 Sorry I bought it. Amazon C*** 6 Month Update: Well, I have had this almost 6 months now. As I anticipated, the foam part has "sunken areas" from our body weight. I only weight 144 pounds so the weight is not excessive. I have had to remove the foam part and am now only using the "down alternative topper". This as well is showing the wear from sleeping on it night after night. If I remember correctly, it came with a three year warranty. I will be requesting a refund and will update my comments once that is complete (just to advise of any issues when filing the warranty claim). It was amazingly comfortable in the beginning but is now significantly uncomfortable. Not sure what else I can say except that I will pursue another new mattress which is a little softer. GOOD LUCK! I began my search for a topper about a year ago. I went back and forth between the Lucid and Sleep Innovations. Despite the Sleep Innovations being cheaper, I decided on the Lucid. After 23 years, I had to buy a new mattress. The first one only lasted 14 months (thank goodness I bought a warranty). The second one was much firmer due to my husband weighing twice what I weigh. I was only able to sleep on it for about a month and had to move in to the guest room. It felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I have had numerous back surgeries and live with chronic pain. So, I began to search for a way to make it softer. The Sleep Innovations topper is obviously popular but I kept going back to the Lucid. I purchased the Lucid based on a gut feeling only. I am very glad I did. I have slept better the last week than I have in many, many, years. I was concerned about being "too warm" as I lay on a heating pad every night. I DO NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH IT BEING TOO WARM. Initially, it felt really soft and I was worried my husband wouldn't like it. However, he still gets the needed support from the mattress but now gets a bonus "hug" from the topper. It really is quite nice and everything it is advertised to be. I placed it on the bed to allow it to expand, and walked away planning to wait until the following evening to use it. When I returned several hours later (not 24), it measured at full thickness. However, you should still follow the manufacturers recommendation. If you are trying to make your mattress softer, this will do it. It does make your mattress thicker so deep pocket sheets are necessary. I have not had issues as of yet with it moving and I have an adjustable bed. B07KWMJHTB US
NICREW Pet Heating Pad for Dogs and Cats, Heated Cat Bed with Steel-Wrapped Cord and Soft Fleece ... 5 Our kitty loves it! Barbara J*** Purrr-fect heated pad for our kitty. We (and she) loved it so much we bought another one for a different area of the house. B07M8VKNQJ US
New Age Pet ECOFLEX Outdoor Cat House, Mossy Oak (ECTH351) 4 Generally good, BUT... W. G*** A generally well-designed single cat house with the following drawbacks: 1. Written instructions are insufficiently detailed, and are suitable only for confirming parts inventory and getting a general idea of how the house goes together. There are three sizes of screws, but the instructions do not specify which are to be used where (although those for the cat flaps are intuitive). While you will ultimately figure out which screws go where, for the less-than-mechanically-inclined an additional 20-30 minutes may easily be required. 2. The flyer enclosed with the kit advises that additional assembly instructions can be found at the company’s website. Don’t bother looking, you won’t find them. On the other hand, they are available on YouTube, but add little to the printed instructions. 3. Chinese quality control is not what it might be. Our kit arrived with the bottom “floor” shelf detached from its front panel; though this was easily rectified with hot glue, it was apparent that, unlike the other three sides, it had never been attached. 4. The kit's proprietary screws are made of a soft plastic and require the company’s plastic wrench to tighten as well as to remove. It may be that these “soft” screws may be replaced by more durable fasteners, but we have yet to attempt this. 5. The cat flaps are of a clear, thin plastic, unsecured by magnets, and do not completely cover their openings. A heavy rain, particularly if prolonged and accompanied by wind, should penetrate these flaps without difficulty. 6. The roof must be removed to accommodate a warming pad of any kind. We suggest you first construct this cat house before purchasing such a pad, in order to get a realistic idea of the size of pad you’ll actually need. Do not depend on manufacturer’s dimensions to select a suitable heating pad. 7. To its credit, the company provides an extra screw for each of the panel screw sizes. What it fails to identify, however, is that the smaller screws are to be used to affix the four walls by means of four lower screws, while the longer screws are used to anchor the roof and walls through the four upper screw holes. That’s the long and short of it. But it’s fair to ask why better quality cathouses cannot be manufactured in the U.S. B07MJM67FG US

Electric Heated Blanket Queen Size 84" x 90" | 6 Heating Levels & 8h Auto Timer | Full Body Fast Heating and Ultra Soft Flann 5 Great product An*** Plenty hot. Size isn’t as big as the pictures make it seem, but it’s a great size. The auto shutoff is great and pretty standard these days. Not sure why people complain. It’s intended for all the crayon-eaters who give themselves third degree burns and burn down their houses then sue the manufacturer. Pretty sure all heating pads have that function. Also good for people with disabilities who can’t communicate pain or move the pad themselves. Auto shutoff. Is. For. Safety. Great product. Will update if it quits working. B07PF1KYYK US

K&H Pet Products Unheated Kitty Mod Dream Pod Cat Bed for Large Cats or Small Dogs, Indoor Covered Privacy Cave, Collapsible, Easy Clean Washable Cushion - Unheated Round 22in Gray/Black 5 Smaller Than Expected DesertC*** While the product page gave the dimensions, I still expected it to be bigger than it was..maybe because the cat pictured must be a tiny kitten. The material is nice and due to how the zipper is placed, you can use with any heating pad. The bed is very aesthetically pleasing. However, my cat does not seem to like it, he has gone in it once.. Pillow has no fluff in the middle so it doesn't seem super comfortable. Unfortunately, it is too late to return. hoping the eventually my cat will learn to love it. updated review: after putting a fuzzy blanket in it, my cat absolutely loves -- it is hard to get him out sometimes! Perfect for those living in colder climates, highly recommend B07S6PKN8R US

HYDGOOHO Seedling Heat Mat with Thermostat 40-108 Degrees Fahrenheit Warming Pad, Warm Hydroponic Heating Pad with Controller 2 Worst Heat Mat I've Ever Used. Mich*** My main profession is as a indoor gardener. I've taken thousands of cuts and used many a heat mat in my day. This is by far the worst heat mat I have ever used in my life. First off, It smells like a cheap inflatable pool "floaty" out of the box. Left all day set at 80 degree's and came back to a 65 degree incubation chamber. Everything looks and feels cheap, and when you plug the mat directly into the wall without temp switch, it barely heats up, only a couple hot spots at the ends.. Seriously disappointed, and will be returning promptly. Don't risk stalling out your plant starts. Spend the extra cash and get a good heating mat. B087YDHLCT US
Insta Brooder™ with Vrooder™ Heater Plate - Chicken Pop Up Playpen with Removable Mesh Top - Portable and Foldable Chicken Pen - Indoor Brooder Box for Chicks (36 x 36 x 18 inches) 5 The product is impressive. The seller is off-the-charts awesome! Pazz*** The second I discovered this product (without ever seeing one in person), I had mixed emotions. Never even knew anyone who owned one. On one hand, I was wondering how effective it would be based on the material/construction...but, OTH, I was really looking for something lightweight and portable because we travel and I don't like leaving my little chickies alone at home (they travel in a car just fine in a foam container; the thought of them travelling in a vehicle in this would be like a ping pong ball on a tennis court lol). The heating plate was a HUGE plus since I don't like heat lamps. And, my husband finally put his foot down about dangerous heat lamps since I brood indoors. My situation when I bought this was timing the delivery with when my eggs were to hatch from the incubator. I needed to move the chicks (I breed and raise chickens and quail together for eggs and meat) who were currently outgrowing my small brooder into something larger so that I would have a place for the hatchlings. Well...a snag was hit with the delivery company. It said on Amazon the package was delivered...and...it was NOT. Note - I am home ALL day on my homestead with a window from my desk (computer nerd from home) overlooking our entrance into the property. I was watching and waiting for this delivery like the hawks stare at my free range chickens o.O I started freaking out and contacted the seller because I REALLY needed this brooder cuz my old school set up (the tub with a heat lamp) was NOT an option with hubby anymore (he was raised on a farm but is used to LIVE brooders that couldn't potentially burn the place down lol - actually...my hens and roo live in the "Love Shack" out back and CAN burn the place down hahahaha I crack myself up and sizzle like an egg <-- I must be drinking too much wine cuz I think I'm funny). Back on point-ish - Patrick from Incubator Warehouse was and IS amazing. He totally calmed my nerves and was quick in all of his responses. He helped to get to the bottom of the issue. You see, we have ZERO phone service where I live...just Internet, and Wifi cell calling doesn't work. Getting hubby to pay for a landline is something we'd need to talk about over wine. So, I couldn't call the delivery service. Anyhoo...the delivery company would not respond to my emails. My last resort was ranting and raving to my uncle who works for this delivery company...he said he couldn't help. But, alas...Super Patrick hopped into his tights and cape...and came to the rescue!! His quick, calm response was therapy to my soul! Fast forward...I finally got this product in perfect timing! It seriously works like one of those windshield covers that pop out of a springy circle and fold right back up like one. I quickly "put it together" (this is an over statement...you don't have to do much) without the heater to get the chicks out of the small brooder so I could sterilize it for the newcomers. This thing is HUGE! Definitely way bigger than I imagined it. But...guess what?! They give you the accurate dimensions. It's just your mind doesn't realize how big it is until you see it!! Thankfully, when you aren't using it...it folds up to 10 inches in diameter (heater is much larger and does NOT fit in the carrying case, but is flat when not assembled)!! You just fold up the sides and do the quick magic motion you would use to fold up one of those car window shades...and, boom!!!! It goes from the size difference of Jupiter to the Moon! This thing was seriously made for dummies like me who only have patience for simplicity...otherwise, I'll burn it! The only CON at this point...I put down one of the disposable liners it comes with and put FIVE doggy pads on top. This company needs to just make one giant doggy pad that fits the dimensions. From what I have read, you can't buy the liners it comes with...and they DO get soggy quick even with doggy pads on top (chicks like to poop on edges and splash out water from the waterers). If I were to enhance this product, I would put a tarp base on this product with it running up the sides by a few inches. I would NEVER continually buy liners for this type of product, and (sorry Patrick), I plan to buy tarps and cut them to shape to change out. HONESTLY...this product reminds me of what I had for my kids as play pens and those play pens had a tarp bottom. They were even the same shape. - moments later - Oh, crap...I JUST found the playpen...I could have saved money lol, but they cost WAY more! On a good note...this thing is easy to clean the way it is. Ok...now onto the heater. This was just a plus...I read the reviews. Did NOT need perfect temps when I bought this because I was moving larger chicks to it. Here is the kicker. Being a retired ER nurse who ONLY checked my kids' temp with a thermometer up their bum while they were my baby chicks, I spent TWO days testing the temps on this thing on several elevated (meaning...raising it) levels and with different types of thermometers (lasers and strips). Why? Because I'm a curious nerd. Results...it keeps a VERY even temp (better than ANY of my incubators) throughout the day. Before I go forward on the PROS, the CON is...the product has no heat indicator other than a red light and what you feel or read on a thermometer YOU have. Ok...back to the PROS...it was SUPER easy to put together!!! It is super easy to adjust for height. AND...it has AWESOME brooding temps for hatchings. How did I test this? I used Legos the height of quail hatchlings with with a thermometer strip on top and the temps were right on call! I would NOT have a problem putting hatchlings in this set up!! The extra EXTRA plus is the inside design of the heating pad that allows chicks to cool off or escape...but have no experience with that right now. Will update when I do! Will eventually add pics, as well. B08BWZKTM9 US
BN-LINK Seedling Heat Mat with Thermostat Controller Combo Set, 10" x 20.75" Plant Heating Mat for Seed Starting with Temperature Control for Indoor Growing, Plants Germination, ETL Listed 5 Not bad, but one big flaw HeavyC*** So I wanted to grow bonsai trees (again) and decided, for the first time ever, to actually read and 100% follow the instructions. So I figured I would get a start in late February/early March to get my trees going and needed warmth (accord to the instructions). So I bought this heating pad. The long and short: it works. had buds and sprouts within 1 week. The complicated part? The thermometer has to be suctioned to the mat to get a more accurate reading of the temperature of the mat itself. But the mat isn't a very good surface to apply a suction cup to, so you need to have it weighed down by your pots in order to make sure you can keep tabs on the temperature. Other than that it works pretty well. (as you can see in the picture...although the mat is hard to see, I promise you it is under them)
