so if I turn this blanket on it automatically goes to preheat anyway to prevent that

I have not noticed a preheat mode. I usually turn the blanket on about 5 about a hour before I go to bed. The Sleep Number bed is nice and comfortably warm (not hot) when I get in the bed. Unless the weather is very cold, I never use the High setting - I don't need it.

I am not sure. I always turn on my blanket to pre-warm my bed. I hate getting under cold sheets.

The keep warm function works until you turn it off. I've had it on for days with no problem.

There are controls. One for each side of the blanket. Heat settings go from 1 to 20. There is also a preheat button.

It will keep it hot for several hours, but make sure you pre-heat the pot first.

When you first plug it in it defaults to the warm setting, it starts the cooking cycle when you set the timer.

Yes. It has three settings. Low, Medium, High and shuts off automatically after 2 hours. I use the high setting, as I have with a regular heating pad. it is basically an electric lap-sized blanket.

The preheat is a manual feature. You cannot set the time it comes on. There is an "auto-off" button that you can set and the heat will turn off after 10 hours. The preheat will warm the bed up fast and will stay on for 30 min then the control goes back to whatever you set it to. There are 20 heat settings to use. We have found this product to work quickly and has been wonderful during Minnesota winters.

No, the blanket does not pre-heat the sheets. What you should do is to leave it on for a few minutes before you get into bed if you want it to be slightly warmer. Keep in mind that it provides very gentle heat but for most folks that's more than enough.

It's automatic. As soon as you unplug it the unit stays hot for one hour. There is no on off switch

I was having the same problem. Probably means that it is some how folded onto itself. For safety, the blanket will shut off.

It has preset temperatures and will turn on when it gets a few degrees under the set temperature and off when it goes a few degrees over.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

Yes, when the water has come to a rolling boil and is VERY hot, the switch automatically switches to off.

I have the mat on while it's preheating, and it's all hot when I'm ready to cook.

That problem hasn't occurred yet. I am stuck with this blanket for the rest of the winter and have nothing good to say about it. It isn't something you can't cuddle with as it's stiff, material resembles felt and and tends to tear. If my cats walk on it it tearsNo auto shut off. Irregular heating on chosen temp. I hate it!! I will be sure to check reviews more carefully.
