SUNBEAM Electric Heating Pad Did not produce much heat. After four months the switch stopped working properly, causing it to shut off consistently a few seconds after being turned on. This agrees with my experience of Sunbeam products. My wife and I owned a Sunbeam pop-up toaster that stopped popping up after a few months, and a Sunbeam hand mixer that broke a minor part after less than a month and stopped working altogether after six months. Avoid all Sunbeam products! 2000-07-29.
