Which heating pad gets the hottest?

Across the reviewers we read, the ThermoRelief moist-heat unit was singled out by The New York Times as the hottest pad they tried, and Comfytemp and the older Sunbeam Advanced models draw similar 'gets very hot, very fast' comments in chronic-pain threads. If maximum heat is the goal, look for stay-on functions and high stated temperature ceilings rather than star ratings.
