heat in a click heartThe name may be a bit of a mouthful, but the products produced by Heatinaclick could prove to be very useful if you want to stave off the chill of the cold weather this winter. The whole of the Heatinaclick Range consists of various sizes and shapes of heating pad. These are reusable and portable, with the intention being that you will carry the flexible, floppy pads with you and activate their heating properties when the temperatures dip. There are a wide variety of pads on offer with different intended applications.

You can get a foot warmer, a hand warmer, a face mask, a baby bottle warmer, a back warmer and a saucily-named pleasure pad which is basically a hot water bottle with a sexed-up name tagged on.

All of the Heatinaclick products use a toxin-free molecular reaction based on Sodium Acetate to activate the heating process and will hit maximum temperatures of 54 degrees. heatinalclickThat should prove to be toasty enough for every occasion, whether it is keeping your bed warm at night or your feet feeling fiery in the day.The liquid in each pad will become solid as part of the process and as the generated heat dissipates the pad will return to its solution form. The best thing about the Heataclick products is that each gadget is reusable multiple times.

What do you think, is this product worth the money? Has it kept you warm, or left you out in the cold?

    Waste of money! The product is heavy once heated and does not take the shape of your skin. You have to boil it in the hope that it goes soft again, good luck with that it does not always happen. Much easier to use a heating pad or hot water bottle to be honest. This product is a con and expect to use it once if you're lucky..i bought 3 and by the time i got it home it had already turned into a brick, so i had to boil it, ruining my tea towel in the process, because you have to put it in a towel as well.

    Briony. Did you take your heat pads back to get your money refunded. I bought one and it does seem a waste of money. I put a j cloth in the bottom of the pan as I could not fit a tea cloth and the pad in both together.

    I am going to try it again, and see what happens. If still no good then I am going to ask for my money back, that is if they are still there.

    I bought mine in Poole.

      I would like to get my money back but there is no address or phone number on the web site. They are not replying to an email that I sent. The product is a con for sure. If anyone knows how to connect with them that would be great.

    I bought 3 of these pads also, I got them yesterday in Norwich and thought they seemed like a good deal while in the mall. The man on the stand told my mother and I that to reuse them you just pop them into a bowl of cold water for 5 mins then it's ready to use again. I have tried this and also using boiling water and the 3 of them are all still solid. I'm going to take them back when I go to Norwich in the hope that they are still there, if not I think I shall contact them on their website. You are right…….. A complete waste of money!

  5. mae says:

    I took my heat pad back yesterday, and asked for a refund. The man on the stand said that he had to phone his manager first,which he did before he gave me my money back..I think that they do get alot returned.

    If he wasn't prepared to refund, than I would have told customers not to wast their money buying these pads.

    Good luck for when you take yours back. . .

  6. Mgc62 says:

    hey mae,

    they refunded your money back ?

    i just bought one today for my dad thinking it was a great idea for his back, so i tested it too see if it works, after you boil it and it just becomes rock solid again…

    please let me know thanks.

  7. Emma Geldoff says:

    You're supposed to boil it and ensure all the crystals have gone. You are also warned when buying it(if having done research) that the object does form a hot solid, as that is the reaction causing heat taking place. If you don't want to dirty your towel, place it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it repeatedly until all crystals dissolve. Yes, they are over priced, but they are available on ebay for half the price. My only issue would be that they don't seem to last much longer than half an hour. The product is handy if needing warmth out and about as you don't need a kettle or anything to produce the heat. Down side is its only useable once until reset. Still think its a good little device and will be handy for the future cold months.

    Girlfriend bought one of the shoulder ones in the mall , a little import rip off stand…u know the ones. Paid 60$us for this one….wow lotta coin for something they claimed worked up to 2 hours. So here's the truth…very nice to play with,fun to click and squish around but only lasts 30 mins and u need to boil about ten to twenty mins also while turning. Don't buy for aches and pains. Or get ripped off! Would really only pay about 10 to 20$ for this as its more like a mesmorizing toy. And the little stands at the mall say no refunds……hummmm yea I wonder why?

  9. mae says:

    That little notice on the stand is not worth the paper it's printed on. They cannot refuse to refund if something does not do what they claim it should. I brought a back pad and got a full refund. You just have to stand your ground. I think that they do not like it when you are telling them what rubbish it is when there are other customers abouy.

  10. Mark says:

    I have several Heat in a click poducts that all work exactly as they were advertized. They are portable and ready to use wen needed. The larger the pad, the longer it stays warm. The smaller hand warmers have about 2 hrs of life. The boiling part is a bit of a pain, but as you ca get 10 hand warmers for about $20 on Ebay, the ability to reuse saves a fortune over the disposable ones. This off sets he pain of boiling them up. As for them not going back to liquid when boiling, just give them a little longer.

  11. mae says:

    Mark, how much did they pay you to write this? Or you must have bought the only ones that work!. The large back one only stayed hot for around 20 minutes. My hot water bottle stays hotter for longer., ,

  12. Steve says:

    Well, I'm from Canada and I bought one last year for 15$. Yeah it really works, but you have to boil it until there's no crystal. Like the little note says : if there's even one crystal left, all the pad will turn solid again. My concern is about how many times will I be able to use and re-use it. I didn't use it a lot (maybe 10 times) and now the pad seems to be 1/3 empty !! How this could happen? since there's no leaks…

  13. Alex ross says:

    l will be going up to cross iron mills mall today in Calgary to ask for a refund for a back click heat that my daughter bought me for xmas , she recieved no reciept.

    l will never use this , its unopened new in box , and after reviewing the vidio and the reviews l am sure l will NEVER use it.

    Would you please inform the stand seller about this , much apprecieated.

    ALEX ROSS

  14. woot woot! says:

    I am chilling on my couch loving the pad on my knees and the pad on my shoulders… this will be great for my massage clients, they don't burn the skin when on it directly so it will make my job 100 times easier.

  15. PDS says:

    I bought one for my mum and she uses it on her back almost every night. I just pop it in a big casserole of boiling water every morning and it's fluid again and ready to go. It will recrystallize if the crystals are not boiled completely, so it just needs to be left on the stovetop a little longer if that's the case. The heat in the back pad lasts about 2 hours. She says that it really is helping with her back pain. I'm shocked to hear how many people have had bad experiences with this product. I think it's a winner. I bought it on fishpond.com.au for $15.

  16. Dean says:

    I bought one on ebay, used it about 6 times and works well. I have found that you need to immediately play with it first if you want it to be soft otherwise you will get a hard solid.

    But I paid $3 for 2 handwarmers off ebay, so totally worth the cash.

  17. jmad323 says:

    I bought this crap at a warehouse sale in hamilton that usually carries good products except for this one. I bought it, used it the day of and followed the directions to return it to its initial form and as it would cool it would recristalize and wouldnt work. I tried to return it and the guys (slimy jerks) said it was non refundable. When I argued with then until they agreed to refund me they scaned my debit card and must have hit cancel because the refund never came to my account. Their head office is in London UK which they tried to tell me was in Toronto ON. They also gave me a fake number to call to try to get rid of me. I would never buy this product it is such a hassle. A plug in heating pad or hot water bottle is way more useful and actually works the way it was intended to.

  18. sucked in again says:

    Spent $125.00. Two back packs; 4 hand warmers; pkg. of foot warmers for ma. Tried to take them all back as they would go rock hard and cold within 5-10 min. Was told the more you use them (boil them) the longer they will stay warm and soft. The guy told me that after the 6th or 7th time they are boiled, the better they will work. No refunds. Although on their site they say not to microwave, I thought, "What do I have to loose". First I boiled a back pack to get to liquid state then let it cool. Then wrapped it in a very wet tea towel and micro waved at 1 min. intervals. For 3 minutes total. Popped it in the waist band which I also bought. 12 hours later, it is still warm and mushy. It may not work again, but at least I got one good run out of it. I will stick with my rice bag, heating pad or hot water bottle.

  19. Duped says:

    What a piece of crap. DON'T BUY IT!! I mean DO NOT BUY IT.

    Bought two back packs for $110 yesterday. I was told to heat it up to liquid after use. I thought how hard can it be. Saw they had a cooler to heat theirs on the counter. When I heat the packs up with boiling water they are still crystalized. Since they are not completely liquified they turn back to completely hard again. It's impossible to turn it back to liquid state again.

    It's NO REFUND on the receipt. If they are selling a good product they would take the product back. It's refunds only – what would I want in exchange? Another piece of junk?

  20. Ripped Off says:

    I bought a three pack. Great idea especially for those of us who live in cold winter climates. Did not even last 20 minutes. Each one was used only once. After boiling for 20 minutes still mostly solid. Had to add more water. ……..Pot is still boiling, still have crystals. HOW long am I supposed to boil water for. I could have had a baby by now.

  21. Ripped Off says:

    Update, It has now been several hours of boiling. Will not cool without crystallizing despite boiling to the point of no crystals repeatedly. Even used a magnifier to ensure absolutely no crystals. Tried several times. For over $25 CDN and less than an hour of luke warm heat combined – this product is an absolute rip off!!! The company has an F rating with my local BBB. DO NOT BUY! I repeat DO NOT BUY!

  22. Wacheke says:

    Do not Buy. I promised myself to always google something before I buy it. This time I was so desperate with severe neck & shoulder aches. Plus I thought, it cannot be that expensive. The lady was talking to someone else and ignored me completely. I went away then came back. I am always in a hurry but she made me sit down and feel the shoulder pad. She was getting impatient coz the whole boiling thing was not making sense to me.

    Anyway I had already decided to buy it. When I asked for the price, I understand why she made me sit. USD 172 but she said it was on special on that day only for half price. She was not going to be there ever again. I told her I did not have that kind of money. She told me to put it on my credit card and I told her I did not have it with me, She asked how much I had on my debit card & I told her USD 23. She said I was disrespecting her good product. She persisted with the logic that constant physio was more expensive, she could see the lumps on my shoulders and that I was not sleeping well. Anyway we settled on USD 46.

    I used it at work the following day & tried to keep it on for as long as possible though it had gone cold after 30mins. When I removed it, it was rock solid. I realised my shoulders were really aching coz it had become really heavy.

    I tried to restore it in the office by pouring boiling water on it but no good.

    At home, I boiled it and it was good again. But the heat lasts 30mins only & then it is rock solid & heavy.

    I tried to use it (the liquid form only) just after boiling & cooling slightly. It actually lasts longer than the other solid mass. So perhaps I will just be soaking it in hot water & using it

    On the weekend I try to return it for a refund

  26. Jenny says:

    I felt really pressured into buying one of the shoulder pads in the mall the other day, but I have given it a few tries and it seems to work rather quite well. 54degrees actually seems too hot to go on direct skin but it is quite nice through clothes. I haven't timed it to see how long the heat lasts but it seems quite a while. I thought the sales technique they used where they show you a price list of way over the top prices and then give you a lower (but still very high price) to make you feel like you are getting a bargain was a bit outrageous. Paid $60 in the end.

  27. Christina says:

    TOTAL RIP OFF CON-ARTISTS – I can't believe I fell for this product . I suffer from raynards, my hands were so cold that day the tips of my fingers were turning white. While at the mall I came across this very fast talking and pushy sales person selling these click heat things. It was so relieving to hold the hand warmers, my fingers immediately returned to normal color. My concern was the material used to encase this product, she assured me it was silicone. I bought 2 hand warmers and the larger one. When I got home I read the directions on the box and it clearly states the product is sealed in PLASTIC!, not silicone as she had stated. My concern with PLASTIC is it more than likely contains BPA, which I do not want next to my skin.
    Went back to mall the next day to demand a refund! Guess What, they were not longer there! I will hunt them down and then some. I might be spending a little more time in the mall where they sell these and inform people that these are a TOTAL RIPOFF. THE SALES LADY OUT RIGHT LIED TO ME, SHE ADAMANTLY REASSURED ME THIS PRODUCT WAS ENCASED IN SILICONE NOT PLASTIC!

  28. Kevin says:

    I have seen these products used over and over again with no hassles.Stupid people- simply follow the instructions to reuse.I did and still do and they work perfectly.

  29. Buyer Beware. I see these guys at the mall in Ottawa reguarly today i decided to check it out. They are offering the neck ones for 100 bucks and you get one free… so about 50 bucks.

    I was fast talked but said I wasn't interested after hearing the costs. It seems a little steep for plastic and sodium acetate.

  30. serina says:

    This product is great! You must not be using it properly.
    you need to boil it till it is ALL CRYSTAL CLEAR
    then you let it cool of and then you click it. i have used mine over 20 times already and it still works.
    i love it it helps all the pains and problems.
    i also use it as a cold pack and works fantastic for that too.
    the trick so it doesn't get hard is after you press it to quickly mix it up in your hands
    so then you get a nice shape that goes around your neck.
    it's not refundable which is kind of annoying, but it is like any other clothing store in Canada… you get store credit.
    people that work there are very nice and friendly!
    i love this product! i would recommend it to anyone.
    it takes a little bit of work, but you need to work a little bit hard to receieve something that you love and will benefit you. my whole chiropractor and massage places uses it so i know it is very good.
    people that are complaining are mainly complaining about the boiling because it takes about 30 minutes to boil down.

  31. cdelpiero says:

    Faulty product sent several messages for refund with no response. Slimey salesman. Want money back, how do I do this. Does anyone else have refund results.

  32. Donna says:

  33. Maureen says:

    The hand warmer stayed hot for 10 mins not 2 hours the sales/ con man claimed. Wish I could track them down for a refund……. Do NOT buy this product.
