Tools and Hardware Reviews of Indus-Tool Cozy Electric Foot Warming Pad #FW
Customer Review: Best $40 I ever spent
Summary: 5 Stars
Smell was not a problem. I let it operate for a few days in the garage before bringing it inside, and there was a bit of an odor in the garage for the first couple of days. I used to run a 1500 watt space heater in my office all day long, and still my feet and hands were cold. In the month since I got the warming pad, I have not needed the space heater and my feet and hands have stayed quite comfortable. This has been a huge improvement to my quality of life. Strongly recommended for anyone who gets cold feet sitting at a desk.Customer Review: Foot warmer
Summary: 4 Stars
The foot warming pad was a lifesaver this cold winter! No smell to it, but it can get too hot for feet just wearing your socks.Customer Review: No Thermostat!!
Summary: 2 Stars
This pad heats up nicely but will get too hot if room conditions are too warm, It does not have an adjustable thermostat or an on/off switch. On some winter days it will be to hot to be confortable. Also I've been using it for weeks and it is still giving off rubber fumes!Customer Review: too hot
Summary: 2 Stars
My main problem with this heated mat is that it does not have an on and off switch. It also tends to get too hot when left a while. Customer Review: My toes are toasty!!
Summary: 4 Stars
02-06-2010 Before I bought this electric floor heating mat, I did my normal research. The biggest complaint that I found, albeit a somewhat dated one, was that when this floor mat got hot, it smelled, terribly. I even called the manufacturer and what they said, was that the problem was remedied by a change in the rubber compound. And that it would, even with the new compound still smell for a few days. At least they were being honest about it. They also suggested that if the smell was going to be a problem, just plug it in outdoors, in a protected area from the weather, etc., for a few days and that would work. I decided to take a chance, and bought it. When it arrived I just set it up on the floor, under my computer desk, which is in an unheated room of the house. It did smell for a few days, and to my thinking not to terrible. This is 'subjective' on my part, those of you who buy it, may find that the odor is objectionable. If so just plug it in outdoors for a few days, as suggested earlier. After about five days of continuous use the smell just faded away. The smell is now COMPLETELY gone, not a trace. My feet are warm, toasty, and I'm a happy camper. Three more comments/complaints. First)This mat does get quite warm, 90 watts of heat, 'great' if you're standing on it with shoes on, not so great, if you're seated, as I am at a desk, and kick your shoes off, and have either sock feet, or bare feet on it. It gets too warm for that. If I'm not mistaken there is an additional item that you can buy that will cut the heat down some, although I forget what it's called. It amounts to some sort of a temperature control. Second)This item comes with NO on/off switch. Somewhat inconvenient to always have to plug and unplug it, in order to turn it on and off. (I never go away from the house and leave this item plugged in, and suggest that no one go away and leave this item or any other item like it plugged in, for safety reasons.) The least they could have done was to install an inline power switch. Minor complaint, I guess. The item mentioned above that can be purchased separately to control the temperature, may, or may not, have a power switch with it, I just don't recall. Third)And this is just a comment, not a complaint. This mat does take a few minutes (5-10 min) to warm up. It also will take a few minutes to warm your feet as well, if you are wearing shoes or boots. All in all, I'm pleased with it, and my tootsies are toasty. I'm just sorry that I didn't buy it sooner. I hope this review is helpful to those of you who may be contemplating buying this item. Signed, Warm Feet, Frazier Park, Ca.
