"From sore muscles after working out to back pain caused by uncomfortable workspaces, everyone experiences their pain differently," said Chris Robins, Newell Brands’ business unit CEO for appliances and cookware. "Our new portable heating pad offers a solution for consumers to customize their relief from anywhere – no longer confined to the couch or restricted by cord length. At Sunbeam, it's our goal to provide the most innovative, safe and convenient options to help people better manage their pain, and our GoHeat Cordless delivers on this promise."
The portable device uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can support up to four hours of heat therapy on a single charge and features three heat settings, allowing users to customize their treatment. The battery fits into the pad’s side pocket to allow for portability. The pad comes with an adjustable strap that fits up to 55 inches around, allowing for users to target such areas as the back, arms, legs and shoulders.
The Sunbeam GoHeat Cordless heating pad currently is sold only online from select retailers, including Walmart, Target and Walgreens, as well as Amazon. It carries a suggested retail price of $69.99 and the company also sells a quick charger accessory for $19.99, enabling the pad to charge in 75 minutes rather than the standard three hours. Sunbeam also sells a replacement GoHeat battery for $39.99.
