How Old Is Your Heating Pad?

I pulled the main muscle in the back of my neck; I'm supposed to alternate warm and cold.  This heating pad has to be at least 30 years old!  

 

Time to replace, lol!

Don't own one but with some upper arm pain that isn't going away, I should buy one.

If I could find it, probably about 40 years old.   I live in Phoenix...the very thought of "extra heat" is not desirable (!!)

Just guessing, it's less than 15 years old.

 

Thankfully we haven't needed it!

 

Not even sure where it is. 🙄

As long as it's working.  

 

We have about 4 in the house, the oldest around 5 years old. 

 

Hope you are feeling better, soon.

I have a Sunbeam, at least 15 yrs old.

 

I don't use it often but sits in it's original box in my bedroom closet. I used it over Easter and still works like new. Has a flannel snap close pad cover that I hand wash and line dry.

 

You've probably got better quality than the schlock made today.

I would worry it could be a fire hazard it it doesn't have the auto shut-off that the new ones have.
