Does this heating pad with 8 heat settings also have the option for continuous ON versus time-limit settings?

Yes it does. As well as a choice of 2 thru 6 hours of staying on. I Love this

Yes, you can keep it on but after a few hours it will shut off for safety purposes. But this is the best heating pad I ever had so far.

hi emily, i always use mine w/ the continuous on option. i can can set it low enough so it doesn't burn me .it's a great heating pad!

I am not sure of the option as I never had the opportunity to use it because it does not work at all. In addition I threw it away so I don't have the manual to revisit...

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

Hi, the timer has an override switch to put the heat on or the cool down. It is very controllable and the heat remains set until you click back to Auto.John

It has a multiple position switch which controls the amount of heat it generates. Works very well.

Not that I have found...however, it does not turn off totally, so if you wake up and the red light is blinking, it does reheat really quickly. I don't know why, but I am glad this feature is available. I have horrible arthritis complicated by disease that doesn't allow regular blood supply to my extremities, so they are always cold. What I really love about this heating pad is that once it has been used and the red light is still blinking hours later, you can heat it up much quicker than if it had been manually turned off. It is really important to me year round that I can warm my hands and feet quickly. This is the best heating pad that I have found for the purposes that I need heating pads for...plus, it is really large so I can wrap my hands and even my feet up in pads for extra warmth. I have not seen a heating pad without the "auto off" feature in years...I think there have been too many law suits. Have you thought of an electric blanket or heated mattress pad? I hope this info helps you make a safe decision. I understand your point, but would also suck if you woke up with a major burn or an electrical fire!

No. It just has a "stay on" button so that heat does not shut off automatically after 8 hours.

Ours doesn't. Not at all. Our Sunbeam heating pads, however, had multiple power supply failures after a week or two. This Paraheat pad works well.BTW, you should avoid falling asleep on a heating pad that doesn't have an automatic off mode just to make sure you don't get scorched. Mark

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

The control that sets the amount of heat is separate from the control that sets the time that the heat is active. Therefore the answer is YES. There is no timer that just measures time and the appropriate alarm (which would be useful).Haby

technically it does, it will automatically switch to warm after cook timer had expired then after 8 hours turn itself off. On another note, this is the best kitchen appliance I have purchased in years.

Yes there is a temperature control and it is 1-9.. One drawback is once it is set you can't change it unless you unplug the heating pad and start over, that is a bit of a nuance.

The adjustment is automatic. There are two internal relays which close the heating or cooling circuit automatically when the temperature is outside the bounds you set. With this setup, it is impossible to have both heating and cooling circuits closed at the same time.

yes . I was introduced to this, by a physical therapist and this pad has served very well.I especially, like to be able to control the heat and time.This has really helped me.I bought one for my daughter as well.

I have Thermophore Maxheat (model 155). You don't have to hold the switch down continuously, but it does shut off after 20 minutes and one touch of a button starts another 20 minutes, if you wish to continue. Thermophore doesn't have a model that goes on and on like a regular heating pad because it gets so hot. The shut-off is a safety feature to prevent burns.

2 settings. One is continuous and the other one is for 20 minutes at a time.

You might try the "Bodymed Digital Moist Heating Pad. It measures 14x14 inches, it can be set from warm to very hot temperature. You can lock in your most comfortable temperature and it stays on for up to a hour long. This I'm sure is a safety feature. The control pad does not light up which I thought was a minor issue. Cost about $40.00. Good luck.

This heating pad does not have an automatic off feature. I used it for a half hour to one hour and then shut off so I don't know how long it would stay hot. 50 watts is printed on the pad. It is very basic but it was fine for a sore back.
