Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Reviewers were DEAD WRONG on this item.

I'm from the "old school" I guess, I want value for my money.Amazon reviews are usually close to the truth which is why I bought this instead of a higher priced item. Maybe these are new offerings, not the older models which actually worked well. Whatever the case, I bought one offline and one in a store--both failed miserably...did not maintain a high heat--think they both had a HIGH heat twice, and that's it. Failed to maintain the heat and most of the time, LOW heat was all you got, even though the heating pad setting was on HIGH.Save you time and energy and just go for a higher priced heating pad like Battle Creek, Thermophore or something else. I'm trying BodyMed which is in the $40 price range...will let you know when I receive it.
