Let me start by saying, yes, I understand it's expensive, HOWEVER, in the 2 months I've had it, my heating bill is already lower, and I can see that with winter and summer heating bill savings, it will end up paying for itself.

The temperature control is fantastic!!! If your body heats up at night, the chili-pad will cool you down, and if you cool off, it will heat you up. It will heat or cool to the temperature you set it too, so you stay comfortable all night!

I really LOVE the dual zone. I sleep at 73degrees (winter temperature), and my girlfriend sleeps at 80. We both sleep ALL night in a deep, restful sleep. Both of us can set our own temperature to whatever makes us comfortable.

Review I read before I bought this product talked about the 'noise' made by the fan from the control unit.
After turning both sides on, I could not believe that anyone would complain about it. It's barely even a whisper!! I put the two control units at the... Read more

I purchased a dual-zone King sized Chilipad about 1 1/2 years ago. Previously I would often waking up sweating at night, even if the room was cool. The Chilipad has helped significantly. I generally sleep cooler, and wake up less.

Unfortunately, this a great idea in need of some further engineering and refinement, and I am not so happy with the quality. After 1 1/2 years of use, here are my observations:

-The pad never quite gets as cool as I would like. After a couple of hours, its noticeably cool. But I wish it would get a bit cooler. Sometimes when the room is too warm, the unit cant keep up and I still wake up hot.

-The lights and controls on the cooling units need to be thought out better. I would be much happier with a simple on/off switch for maximum cooling... without the bright lights and the loud beeping. The lights on the top of the cooling units are extremely bright; I have to place a shoe or something on top of each unit in order... Read more

I LOVE the Chilipad. I had the old version in Queen size, and I recently purchased the new (as of Oct 2011) "PLS" version in Cal King size. All of of the features described in other reviews are spot on, and it truly enables excellent quality sleep.

HOWEVER, when my new PLS version arrived, I discovered that instead of the WHITE plastic that is shown in all the photos (and the color of my OLD model) ... the new model has PINK plastic! A somewhat soft shade of pink ... sort of like a ladies razor ... but given that there are 2 units (at least on the Cal King) ... and 2 remotes ... ALL OF WHICH ARE PINK ... you should just be sure you are ok with this before ordering. I'm attempting to contact the company to see if this was perhaps a bad manufacturing lot, or if this change is on purpose.
