... and is manufactured by Indus-Tool of Illinois, celebrating 40 years of manufacturing. The company's line of portable , electric foot and leg warming mats are proven effective for warming feet and legs without the typical risks associated with traditional, high output electric space heaters. In contrast, Cozy products use electric power comparable to that of a 150 watt light bulb. Low on power consumption but NOT stingy with heat, this mat really warms feet and although the optional Hi-Lo switch affords nice control for extra personal comfort, unlike all of the other products, it is not required for this product which has anonboard hi-lo-off switch.
Should you buy the optional control switch for Toasty Toes ? To use the onboard control switch you'll have to bend down, or, manipulate it with your feet to change settings. Alternately, the optional hi-lo-off switch will override the onboard control and place adjustments at your fingertips. Personally, I simply manipulate the onboard controls and don't bother with the optional switch. That said, if your interested in conservation and full convenience, it's easier to forget to turn Toasty Toes off using just the onboard control switch.
Versatile, Toasty Toes heated footrest may be positioned flat on the floor, or adjusted to an angle to achieve a more ergonomic position. But that's not all, Toasty Toes may also be adjusted to a vertical position for use as a heated panel and has a high temperature setting when used this way. I found the vertical position useful under a smaller desk where the enclosure for feet and legs is less than 24 inches wide. Toasty Toes size: 18in. x 12in. x 1in.
Pricing: Why is the Canadian dollar price higher than the US dollar price ? All USA orders ship direct from the US manufacturer to the US customer so are not subject to any additional costs to reach a US address - the product does not have to leave the country. Canadian orders, however, are shipped to Canada in bulk from the US manufacturer to a fulfillment service, here, prior to shipment to a Canadian customer, so are subject to customs broker fees, duty, and additional shipping and processing fees that do not apply to USA orders.
