How does using it for moist heat heat work? It's electric so isn't moisture a little dangerous to have against it?

I have not used it for moist heat. So I can't really answer your question. But I will say its works well and the size of it is why I bought it. Only have to run it on low or medium..

You place it on the floor so that the two contacts on the bottom will detect moisture. Not sure if it works. Hopefully..... I have it on the floor next to my hot water heater.

I haven't had any issue with heat with mine. But I wouldn't use a real high heat with even heat protected

Whatever is in the cap that heats up in the microwave either absorbs some moisture from the air or it is just natural moisture from your body. It is not a damp, wet "steamy" heat. Not sure how it works but it works better and quicker for me than any electric or steam rollers or curling iron I have ever used.

The Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector does not indicate that an electric heating pad couldn't be used in conjunction. Therefore, I think it is safe if you wanted to use an electric blanket w/ it.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

It says you can use it for heat also but I haven't tried it. I dont want to risk it so I use a heating pad for heat.

This is not a heating unit. It is a dehumidifier which takes moisture out of the air.

I have not used it in "moist" mode but as I interpret the instructions it appears that one must dampen the heated side of the pad cover. I have not tried this and am wary of it. Dry heat has been very effective for my problem, so i haven't needed to try it damp.

I haven't used the moist part, and I can't find my directions, but the heating pad should have a spongy insert. I think you moisten that part and put it back inside.

This product is NOT suited to heating. Electicity is a very high level and costly form of energy that is wasted on heating loads. In order of efficiecy 1) conservation (insulation) 2) hot air panels. 3) Windows (multiple uses, you have them anyway) 4) Hot water pannels 5) wood stove 6) and last solar electric

The fine print on the package insert says it's not for use with heat-generating appliances. It would be nice if this info was anywhere you could find it before buying and opening the product!

I am not sure...it is electric so don't know how the moisture would affect it. I agree you should contact the manufacturer to be sure.

This just puts out a low amount of heat into the area to help keep the moisture level down. Uses very little electricity . I use it in my travel trailer and I live in a very wet area during the winter. It gets cold but more wetness....

I haven't experienced any significant moisture in our year of use so far,George ...I run it in a basement apartment that also has a dehumidifier but we haven't had to use it for moisture yet. Our apartment ''we rent out'' has two bedrooms and a kicthen so if any moisture levels out heater works great also easy to clean and install well worth the money/effort

It is not waterproof (electric heat control). Mine is under a covered porch..
