Claims we checked

The published claim, then what we found. Live statuses. How we review

The claim

'Instant relief to sore back muscles'; heat 'increases blood flow'

What we found

Fine print

The claim

Up to 3 hours per charge on the wrap

What we found

Fine print

Best Buy buyers list battery life as the leading con (16 mentions); one owner reports about 2.5 cycles per charge, and Breaking Eighty saw less than rated under high heat plus vibration.
