Nice little pad
I really like the portability of this heating pad. Probably, my favorite feature. This is extremely light and has 3 different settings. I use this while sitting at my desk and forget that it's plugged in because of how lightweight it is. You can look at that as a positive or a negative depending on the person. One issue I noticed is that if I don't have pressure on the heating pad pushing down or leaning all the way back in the chair , I don't feel the heat as much. Another good thing about this is you can wear it for your back, leg, shoulder or arm. So overall, not a bad heating pad. Great for small areas. If you need a larger surface heating pad then this may be too small for you.

Great Relief
I bought this over month ago and recently went on a long trip in our car. My back was killing me so I took out my Sunbeam GoHeat USB Powered Heating Pad. It was so very nice to be able to use this in the vehicle and not have it plugged into wall. The features of this heating pad a simply amazing. It has three levels low, Ned, high. I used my heating pad faithfully while even driving to give my back relief. Just being powered using a USB cord was fantastic. This is a great heating pad to have.

Great idea!
The Sunbeam go heat is portable and can be used anywhere with a plug or USB port. I travel a lot so I got it with the idea of using it in the car on long trips. The heating pad itself is a very nice size and totally manageable to use on the go. The elastic strap is better than I anticipated. It is wide and reaches around my body and/or my shoulder depending on what aches. I also at times use it to relax my hands if I’ve been gripping the wheel too tightly for too long. The only thing I have to say is I wish it would get a little warmer. It gets warm but I like it a little on the hotter side.

Exactly what I needed! Heat Relief!
The USB powered portable heating pad is exactly what I was needing to help with my sore back during my hour long commute to and from work. I was not able to use a traditional heating pad because it requires and plug, but this unit plugs into the USB cord in my car. When I'm at work, I can just plug it into my laptop for the same results. I like that it has a strap to keep it in the right place on my back. The three settings are perfect so that I can adjust it. It gets hot enough, but not too hot. If you are looking for a portable heating pad, the Sunbeam Go Heat is a great choice.

Toasty Warm
I used this is my husband’s truck and it worked extremely well. I used it on the high setting as I had 2 layers for it to penetrate through. It was definitely hot enough for me to feel on my lower back. The strap wrapped it securely around my midriff. The USB cord extension was long enough to reach because the port was by the passenger side. I think a longer connection cord would be better to be able to reach either side of the car. Though I love this product and it’s efficiency, it does only cover the lumbar region. I am going to see if there is a bigger one I can purchase to have.

Cumbersome
Although the concept for a usb powered heating pad seems good, I personally did not like how cumbersome it is... the power cord needs to be much longer as you are very limited in range and this pad did not get very hot. It is possible that my old one isn't made to today's standards so it has a much longer cord and gets much hotter, but I'll keep using it for now as I'm unhappy with this one.

Super convenient
Have you sat down on the heating pad and started to relax only to think, "man I left my glass in the other room!". Then you have to get up and go get it to sit back down again. Well with this heating pad you just get up and the heating pad goes with you. I just recently injured my back at work and this thing was a lifesaver. I strapped it on and used one of my daughter's USB Battery banks and this thing is great you can get up and still do things while getting the heat therapy you need. It heats up super fast and lasted quite a while on the battery pack. Then when I sat down to get on the computer I just plugged it in to the USB port. The GoHeat is SUPER convenient, I love it and would recommend it for sure.

Little heating buddy
I don't usually use heating pads often, but when I do, I want exactly what this pad offers.
It's a compact design that easily rolls up and stores away nicely without taking up too much space.
The heating function works perfectly and is never too hot. It's a great balance of heat and evenly dispersed through the small padded area.
The unit plugs into a USB port or you can also attach a usb plug adapter (sadly not included) . It would have been nice too include extra options in this package for plugging in the product, or maybe a rechargeable battery, but it's not a significant loss.
This is definitely a step up from traditional older models and also a great little companion for those sore muscles.

Relief on the go!!
This heating pad is great! It provides relief on the go. I love that I don’t have to just sit in one place plugged in to an outlet. I can move around and get things done all while providing relief to my aches and pains. The size is perfect. It is not too bulky and you can walk around while it is strapped on. It feels nice and soft. It warms up quickly and provides relief almost instantly. There are 3 settings so you can decide what the right amount of heat is for you. I also used it on my arms and legs and shoulders. This heating pad is the perfect remedy for me!!

Ehhh...great concept...but...
It did not deliver. I was expecting soothing heat, but what I got was luke warm heat.
This product can not be charged with a regular USB charging port. It needs a higher Voltage...I believe 2A. Since it was not included, it made the whole process slightly more frustrating.
The heat, yeah, maybe stayed luke warm for 20 minutes. And to reheat, you gotta plug it for a while for the second round. And technically, walking around isn’t all that convenient, as it loses heat fast. We determined it’s best to leave it plugged in, so what’s the point of a USB, other than to to use it in your car. Although, my heated seats are hotter than this. I get it may not technically be cordless, but that’s how it is presented.
The product size is smaller than your average heating pad. The fabric, however, is gentle and soft.
So, overall, this is best for drivers or passengers, which is who I would recommend this for. It is not for your typical household usage.

Wow a portable heating pad I love it!
A very unique battery-pack operated, plush heating pad from Sunbeam GoHeat. This gadget has many benefits including portable, lightweight and easy to use. So convenient I can now use a heating pad on the go not just at home. It can be used anywhere on the body using the flexible & adjustable strap which holds in place with velcro making it discrete and easy to wear around my stomach or lower back for aches and pains. Since it’s lightweight it fits easily under my sweater or coat. I also use it to keep me warm while walking the dog on chilly mornings. You can use any 2A power bank which provides 3 heat settings and it has a small pocket to hold it in place. There is also an extender cord which makes it convenient when using while on the computer it will fit into any USB port. Another huge benefit that sets it apart from old-style heating pads is that it is machine washable! I love this portable heat therapy pad It’s compact size (12” x 7.5”) makes it easy to use anywhere!

Convenient
I like how this heating pad is designed the pad material is very soft, flexible and lightweight. I have been having issues with my ankle and with this heating pad I'm able to concentrate on the exact spot where its needed by using the adjustable strap to secure firmly in place. It heats up quickly using the attached USB cord connection, it has three heat settings and even a two hour auto on/off. Given its portable size, I can roll it up place it in my tote bag and take along with me to use if needed while sitting at my work desk. Another plus it can be machine washed.

Great for my back pain!
I have 3 lower bulging discs, so I have back pain that randomly comes and goes. When the pain does flair up, I would apply Ice Hot or use a Salopas patch to make it thru the workday. For nighttime, I would lay on a heating pad. This GoHeat pad is so convenient for use during day. The material is soft, and it wrap comfortably amount my waist. Just to give you an idea, I wear a size 34 pants. The adjustable strap can still be adjusted to make it even shorter/longer if needed. To power this on, you will need a portable power bank. The pad has a small slot to hold the power bank which is awesome. You don’t have to worry about having to carry the power bank in your pocket and a wire running from your pocket connected to the pad. You can also power the pad up via PC or Car USB. To turn ON, connect the pad USB wire to a power source & press the power button. You can set the pad to 3 heat setting. The power button will light up to show the heat setting you are on (green/low, orange/med, & red/High). It has a 2hr built in turnoff timer. No need to worry if you forgot to turn it off. I have a high tolerance for heat, so I’ve been using the pad on the High setting only. It gets pretty hot but not hot enough to where it will burn your skin. There only 2 issue I have with this pad. 1 - The USB wire look/feel like it can break easily, we will see how long it will last. 2 – The power button can easily be press when I’m setting down/ lean back. Since I have it on the high setting, the next button press turns it off and this has happened couple time since I’ve use this.

Not very useful
I really can't get much use out of this. It has to be plugged in to work, and its cord is not very long, you're going to need an extension cord which could be dangerous since it directly converts electricity to heat. It doesn't get very hot, but maybe that's good, I always like everything hotter than anyone else seems to. I don't like the way the buckles and straps are set up, they seem kind of backwards.

Not cordless...misleading
If it needs to be plugged into something it's not cordless even if the power source is with you (power bank) IT isn't mobile but the power source for it can be. At best its compact, possibly portable. When I hear cordless and on the go it means like a phone or a laptop, something rechargeable. Product works fine but now I have to go buy a power bank as I do not have a desk job that allows me to stay with in 58inch distance of a usb port. Either sell something rechargeable which is portable or rephrase your descriptions.

Personal mini heating pad
Was excited to receive the personal mini heating pad, but was a bit disappointed that it did not include a portable energy supply. The idea of being able to wear a mini-heating pad on the go was a welcome thought for golfing, grocery shopping, gardening. The heat generates soothing relief, but without the portable power supply, you are required to be remain close to the USB port power supply (typically a wall plug or computer). Great product, but would suggest that the portable power supply be part of the package.

Very convenient!
The Sunbeam GoHeat USB Powered Heating Pad is a game changer. I charge it up and can enjoy it's warmth from anywhere. I have used to to help alleviate my monthly cramps while driving and while laying in bed. It has been wonderful on my back as well. I cannot wait to try it out in cold tailgating weather once restrictions are lifted. It's so simple to use, I can even charge it in my car and it gives several hours of heat. It is comfortable to wear and the strap holds it securely to my body. Simply the best!!

Not bad
I always have an achy back and needed solutions to alleviate the pain. I tried the Sunbeam heating pad with USB and I liked that I can use a small portable battery pack and didn't have to carry around a heavy plug like the old traditional way and stuck to the wall. The pad is a good size for my back but the adjustable straps attached by velco easily fell off if I tugged one side too hard. For that reason, I couldn't make it tighter so that the heating pad can be tightly pressed against my back.
It was difficult to use at first because I pressed the on button and it didn't heat up. Eventually it worked after my brother tested it for me. The heating was okay for my back. I wish there were more levels of heat to choose. For me, I personally like It almost burning hot. But this will do. It did give it some comfort and lessened the stress around the area.
It would be great if it can retain the charge for few hours so that I dont have to carry a battery pack around or be plugged to the wall.

Provides just enough heat to keep comfortable
I was truly surprised on how well this heating pad warmed up for being a USB powered heating pad. I tried to power the heating pad via a lap top while working but it didn't seem to provide sufficient power to heat the pad enough. It made a big difference in heat when I changed the power source to a portable battery pack so Id recommend to connect to a power pack if going portable or directly to a USB power adaptor. Comes in handy on a cold night in the car or in front of a laptop when working from home.

Terrible product
This is rediculous… on high heat when plugged into a wall outlet provides barely lukewarm and completely non therapeutic heat. I tried every which way recommended by the company, at every heat level, with every input source including the ac adapter with no improvement to the heat output. I returned it, thinking it was faulty. The second one I purchased was equally terrible. I just don’t understand the good reviews?? Barely lukewarm on high??? Really, why bother manufacturing this… I wanted to love this too…

Works well for me
I have been using this heating pad for a while now on my lower back and upper thigh. It has provided relief when I needed it. I really like that it is not bulky and relatively lightweight. The pad is large enough to give targeted warmth where needed.
The pad heats up quickly and it gets really warm. I have been using it with a power bank, which is nice so I can easily use it while I am at work. I love the adjustable straps which helps the pad stay nice and snug to body. The straps are perfect length for my body type, which could be described as average, but it may be a tight fit for large frames. I appreciate the different heating levels and the 2 hour shut off comes in handy when I am sleeping.
It stores easily so I can take it on the go with me. So far, so good.

Some warmth on the go
I like the concept of this product, but was hoping it would be bigger and warmer. Even on the strongest setting the heat isn’t very strong. I think it needs a portable charger. When I sit at my desk and use it, I always forget I’m “plugged in” and yank the cord.

Handy heating pad
This heating pad is smaller than I had expected and needs to be plugged in. I misunderstood and thought you could charge it and use it unplugged. That’s not the product’s fault, I just misunderstood so don’t make my mistake! It is still nice that you can use a portable charger with the usb plug to use on the go. I’ve been using it with my portable charger just on the couch, or around the house so I don’t have to be tied to a plug. I do wish it was a little bigger, but it works well for the lower back.

Nice little heating pad
I got the Sunbeam goheat USB powered heating pad few weeks ago and have used it almost everyday since receiving it. It is very comfortable and easy to adjust to any size. I especially like the fact that it heats up fast on any of the 3 temp settings. I mainly use it on my lower back and shoulders to soothe aches and pains from work. The USB extension cord gives me enough length to use while watching TV or just plain relaxing. I have not tried it out yet with a power bank because the power bank I have is to big for the pocket on the unit. The unit says that it can be washed but I am a little skeptical of that so I primarily use it over my clothes to prevent the need of washing it. Great little heating pad I highly recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to a standard heating pad.

Great design!
I love this heating pad! It is compact, flexible and can be fastened to any area where you would typically want to have a heat application to sooth the pain- shoulder, lumbar, knee, etc. the elastic band is adjustable and the Velcro strip works very well.it heats up very quickly and I like 3 heat settings of high, medium and low. I like how you can walk around wearing it (even outside) if you have a portable power bank, or plug it into a USB of any of your devices. Pretty convenient since I spend most of my day at a computer. If I were to find something to improve I would suggest making the power bank and the plug cube a part of the standard package but I also understand that most folks have these things on hand and adding these accessories will increase the price. Overall, I am very pleased.

Fantastic USB Heating Pad
This is a great heating pad, I love the fact that it is USB powered. I can plug it into a USB ac plug or it can have full mobility with using a rechargeable USB power bank, what a fantastic idea.
It heats up quickly and has great heat adjustability.
If you are needing a mobile heating pad look no further than the Sunbeam GoHeat USB powered heating pad.
It is my go to for back pain relief.
It is well designed and comfortable to wear around the house.
Thanks Sunbeam for a great product.

Portable!
The Sunbeam GoHeat USB Powered Heating Pad is portable and great for to use while traveling! Just plug it into a laptop, portable charger, etc. and you’re ready to go. I love that I can take it with me and it stows away in small space easily. Love that it has an adjustable strap to help keep it in place. It doesn’t get too warm, but still gets the job done. I tried plugging it into a USB adapter and into the wall, but it doesn’t work. It seems it’s strictly for use with portable devices.

You need this heating pad!
I am so glad I got my Sunbeam GoHeat USB powered heating pad days before the snow arrived. The 58in cord gives me the length needed to move around comfortably, the velcro strap keeps it in place and three heat settings let's me adjust the heat level! Also, because this heating pad is USB powered I can wear it in the car! Yes in the car! After clearing my car of snow it was such a welcomed relief that my Sunbeam GoHeat was waiting for me in the car! I highly recommend this heating pad.

Portable, On The Go Heat
I love that the Sunbeam GoHeat USB powered heating pad is conveniently portable, compact and lightweight. This is a versatile, travel friendly item that can be moved about with ease, and utilized for both indoor and outdoor use. The rechargeable unit has three heat settings, which make it possible to precisely control how much heat is generated, and an auto-off feature after two hours of continuous use. An adjustable velcro strap wraps easily, and ensures that the small heating pad stays in place wherever you need it. The unit can provide targeted heat therapy for multiple areas of the body. A moist heat option is also available. I use the heating pad mainly for my shoulders and lower back, where it works quickly and effectively to temporarily relax sore muscles, ease joint pain, and reduce stiffness. Additionally, I like to place the unit on my stomach to soothe stomach cramps. This superb, soft heating pad is comfortable to wear, can be worn discreetly under clothing, and is machine washable. I have found the heating pad to be invaluable in helping me to keep functioning and going about my day, whether I’m at home, in the car, or traveling.
