Tools and Hardware Reviews of Indus-Tool FWXXX Cozy Electric Foot Warming Pad
Customer Review: SMELLS TERRIBLE
Summary: 1 Stars
We work with other rubber products in our office, and other heaters. But this is the worst combination imaginable. The concept of a nice, warm foot perch is great, and we toughed out the smell for a while, but overall the smell is just too terrible to deal with.
Think we're crazy? We left ours plugged in for 3 weeks until our landlord threatened to kick us out because the smell was so "unsanitary." We put the mat outside and the smell went away within just a few hours. After leaving it there, sitting outside for over a month, we plugged it back in. STILL TERRIBLE.
Do yourself a favor and just believe the many smell reviews and buy something different.
Customer Review: Works well - with no plastic odor
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my footwarmer a couple of days ago. I was concerned because a previous reviewer mentioned that it smelled "like a skunk". Mine has no noticeable odor at all. However I do notice (and this is not a poor reflection on the product) that the inviting thought of a "cozy, toasty" foot warmer does not match the experience. It is not natural for the bottoms of a person's feet to be warmer than the rest of the body. It is, believe it or not, a rather uncomfortable feeling - at least with the shoes left on. My feet feel itchy and clammy. Maybe the radiant energy on a place with slow blood circulation is unhealthful. That's my concern. But the product itself is fine.Customer Review: Acrid smell!
Summary: 1 Stars
I opened the package and left the box in the house, to run the mat in the garage as another reviewer suggested. Later the smell from the box alone wafted through 3 rooms, and I had to put it in the garage. I left it running 12 hours, by which time my garage smelled absolutely awful, and the house was permeated just by opening and closing the door. I just had to unplug it - we couldn't stand it. I actually thought that maybe I had hit a skunk with my car, but when we unplugged the mat, boxed, and bagged it, the smell went away. It heated up really nicely, but there's no way to live with the smell. Maybe they use different rubber sources for different batches??Customer Review: Dangerous. Overheated.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these heating mats and it worked pretty good, so I bought a second. The second had a serious overheating problem. I had on slippers and two pair of socks and it got too hot. I tried it without the slippers and could only put my foot with the socks on, on the mat for 1/2 second. Likewise my hand.
The mat needs a breaker or a fuse on it to prevent such overheating if the thermostat or design of the heating elements fail as they did on the 2nd one.
Again this mat would be very dangerous for an older person, a sick person, someone who fell asleep, etc.
I can not stress the danger enough enough.
Customer Review: Toasty! Finally some relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this product. My office space is always cold and I was using a 120V space heater, but it just blew heat where it was aimed (like at my feet). Now with this foot warmer pad my whole body is magically warmed though the bottom of my feet, with the heat sweeping up my legs into my body and out to my fingertips. I read the other reviews about the smell of rubber burning but my mat doesn't smell at all unless I pick it up and put my nose to it. Nobody else in surrounding offices has complained either. It will get pretty hot but I'd rather move my feet around a little than have it not hot enough. This is a must for the terminally cold!
