Has anyone tried the heat therapy? I don't have a microwave, does the hot water work well?

I've only used the cold portion by freezing it ... but a previous one I owned was fantastic if heated in the microwave. I'm not sure what you're talking about in terms of 'hot water' though since these are not fillable or refillable. Once you put a hole in it the gel will fall out and the product will be useless.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you could use warm (not hot) water to warm it up. It's a thick plastic cover, so it would probably work.

No just warm water is fine. This product allows you to cleanse almost the entire colon gently without holding water in. Great product

I usually add the hot water to the bowl rather than heat the entire bowl in the microwave. I've not had this problem ever before and I would "freak" if the same thing happened to me. Perhaps your microwave wattage runs higher than normal??

Hi - I just heated up some leftover pot pie for lunch :), so I can attest that they DO get hot in the microwave. I've also heated water for tea, and it also gets hot. Still so pleased with the set, and not something that would discourage me from using them.

I don't see a problem with heating the water in a microwave. Optimal temp for water is 195-205 degrees. I also found filtered water makes a big difference in the flavor of the coffee.

Yes, I use it to heat water for my soup, it is faster and hotter than the microwave.

As others have already noted, the AeroPress doesn't heat the water; you need a kettle or microwave. I've been using mine exclusively for several months now, both at home and on the road. At home I use a Breville electric kettle; great device as you can set the temperature you want. Works great for everything from green tea to French press to full boil for black tea. In hotels, I usually just heat up a cup of water in the microwave. You don't want it to be boiling; I think the instructions mention 175F. Overall I'm very pleased. It's a nicely designed and engineered device; easy to use and simple to clean. As others have already noted, the AeroPress doesn't heat the water; you need a kettle or microwave.

I threw away my packaging but I am almost positive it said not to boil it or immerse it in hot water. I think it might melt or heat unevenly.If you don't have a microwave, I used hand towels I soaked in hot water until I got this item, they just lost their heat faster and got my clothes wet but they did work.

I think a microwave is best. You may have to check with the manufacturer of this.

I have been pleased. I let the towel heat (it's best to only put one towel in the heater; but I find when I place a second one on top for my hair, it also gets heated) for at least 10-15 minutes and when I get out of the shower it stays warm for a few minutes. It's like being at the spa!

Here are the settings: 1-No heat with massage, 2-Heat and bubbles, 3-Heat, bubbles and massage. The unit heats quickly and gets hot, so you could turn it off (still unplugged) and just have the leftover heat alone and then turn it to 2 or 3 as it cools to heat up again and then off again. It is also safe to use bath salts and soaps in the water. The unit is a very good one.

I would recommend microwaving them, but I personally put them in hot water and it works great.

My thoughts are that it would warm but not to the extent of microwave heating therefore wouldn't last as long. Microwave heats from the center- out and water from the outside-in so the center wouldn't hold the heat as long with water versus microwave.

use warm or hot water, see this video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqY_JtJazyw

No it does not use heat, just ultrasonic frequencies that loosen up dirt. I recommend using warm water, though, to make it even more effective.
