Title: smell is already getting better BUT ...
Review: this thing is too darn hot! I just received this as a gift, and I definitely needed it - I'm always cold and I sit at my computer alot, so my feet get cold, too. As a person who likes to be really warm (hot showers, snuggle up by the gas heater, etc), I was surprised to find that this mat gets too hot for me. Even through rubber-bottomed bedroom shoes.It's got the right idea, but a way to adjust the temperature is needed. Prehaps I can wire this up to a dimmer switch or something. If not, I might end up sending it back.Currently, I've got my digital candy thermometer between my foot and the mat and it's reading 127 degrees F and climbing. 129 ... 133 ... 135. Merely a bit warmer than body temperature should suffice! I'd guess 110 degrees should be plenty warm. Now I'm up to 136 ... 138 ... 140 - maybe I have a defective unit?!? I should probably get up before I melt my bedroom shoes!
