If my body voltage is actually HIGHER when using the mat, does that mean the product doesn't work? Or is there something else going on?

Here is a great video done by Dr.Mercola. Explains the voltage and everything else. Got me turned onto earthing. Hope it helps. Link is below http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/11/04/why-does-walking-barefoot-on-the-earth-make-you-feel-better.aspx

Hi Debbie. The answer is yes. Mine has been plugged in for 3 years now and I did not see any appreciable increase in my electric bill the first few months I used it. (I have an extra on stand-by when this one finally gives out) Also, when the pet is not on the mat the temperature decreases to very low only to be increased to 102 or so degrees with the pressure of the pet when it returns. This is the best and my outside kitties have spent many freezing nights in their warm box with the mat on which to sleep. Initially these were feral cats which allowed me to care for them from a safe distance. Loved the opportunity to domesticate them. And I also had a mat for my inside kitty as well who loved her bed just as much as the outside critters. I think this was the best purchase I've made for a pet. Wish I'd known about it when my other kitties were still alive. I'm sure a pup would appreciate this mat as well as any older animal. Can't praise this product enough!

Although I read about this sort of thing from some other reviewers, I did not have this problem. I added the charged batteries, turned it on, and it worked. I don't know if there's a remedy other than exchanging the product. Sorry.

So sorry, I cannot explain it. Just went back and ran a label on mine to see if anything went wrong. It did not, so you may just have a defective item.

Yes! That's how we have it used. I can do yoga and martial arts and nothing moves at all, not me or the mat!

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

So far I've used it a couple times and hadn't noticed anything like that. See if it makes a difference between certain ground terrain. (Test it on different types of grounding if you haven't already, like inside a store with smooth floor vs street)

Sorry , I did mean to hit send , anyway the resistance is not the same so you run the rusk of overheating and this could definitely cause a number of problems. However, I am not an expert in this area, so I'm just talking from reading and experience. Hope this helps.

This is a VERY dangerous product, as I clearly have stated. Why ? The self-test LED states the product is "fine"....BUT surprise, it does NOT detect voltages. It FAILED to "light" for 120 V through 240 V. IF MY message (above) it NOT clear, just buy this product AND try it. Amazon gives you your money back AND does NOT ask for a return of the product. IF you are alive after trying this product, happy Trick or Treat.

You have to plug it into an electrical outlet for the heated mat to work. The housing is separate from the heated mat

I tested the voltage when batteries were very low and fully charged. My controller did what the specs said. Good luck

WhitneyRead more reviews about power mats. I cannot remember why but i did not end up buying one because of poor quality. Think about it. Does anyone you know own one? Be thorough Whitney :)

Probably not. It sounds like it may be defective and needs to be returned (hopefully this is still an option). Before you do so, try plugging it in to another outlet, just to be sure!

I bought an electric pad like that and I sent it back as the cloth is too thin and the wiring is too close to the cloth. I wouldn't trust an electric pad like that with anything. I wouldn't trust it on high, or low or any in between. I think the pad would be too dangerous. Read in between the lines with all the other answers.

I guess so. I bought it and there was no power source - just the mat and a wire that goes to nothing. I sent it back.

You shouldn't feel any tingling....unplug it, put it back in the box. I'd return it for an exchange

Bad connection??I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now.If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.
