how hot do these heat pads get

I have this heating pad attached to the oil pan on my car and it does help warm the oil for those cold starts when it's below 0 here in Minnesota.I don't have any way to measure the temp but something is better than nothing.You do not want to plug it in by itself because it will burn up. The heating element turns glowing hot if not attached to something.

Have one installed on my Drag Race small block Ford Engine directly to the bottom of the oil pan.With outside air temp at 39° the pad will heat the 10 quarts of 50 weight oil to 100° in about 45 minutes.

I think they get over 200 Deg. I ran the plug forward and plugged it into a split extension cord with the block heater. My PowerStroke starts just fine now with the oil warm also.

I have one on a transmission for a buick rendezvous and it raised the temperature about 20-30 degrees warmer than the outside air temp after about 5 hours of being plugged in.

If you want a great product to eliminate hot flashes, buy the ChiliPad. Cools to 46 or can heat up to 118. I keep mine set on 66 in winter and 62 in summer. Love the ChiliPad www.chilitechnology.com

These pads do not turn on and off. You plug them in and they are on until you unplug them. You have no control over the temp. They just stay warm. Not hot enough to burn.

Typically no. I use them in the microwave all the time and they do not overheat. The only time I've noticed them getting hot to the touch has been when I microwaved a bowl of water for five minutes to steam clean my microwave. That time the bowl got pretty hot and I needed to use a towel, but that's been the case with every bowl I've ever done that in.

They do have a heat rating. I assume if you keep it under the correct temperature you should be ok.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

I have used them this summer and did not notice any heat from them. Of course where I live it has been pleasant temperatures! Even though they might be warm in hot weather, it sure beats getting your arms all torn up....these are fantastic

Very versatile. Range is 1 to 60 minutes. Heat range is 113 to 166 degrees F. Large pad. I love mine. Hope this helps.

They are LEDs so you shouldn't have a problem. I didn't notice them getting all that hot. Granted, I haven't left them on for hours at a time and then tested.

I live in California normaly warm but has been 23 and they still work. I am not positive but high heat I would think would be more concern.

They probably would be hot as they are not a light weight material. They are very durable though. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I don't recall. I opened 1 box tried it out and was extremely disappointed. They don't work as advertised. A total waste of money. Stick to regular heating pads. It takes soooo much time to heat one up, and then only lasts 15-20 minutes, tops.

I have two and never have had a problem, they get hot to the touch but that's expected, they r pretty safe i would say

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

It's dependand on the temperature around the tank environment. These heat pads also don't heat as well as they age.

I use them all over my house they do NOT get hot. Even after hours you can touch them and not get burned.

The range is from slightly warm to very hot. But the heating element is very inconsistent. This is my second heating pad the first one stopped working altogether. So sometimes it works just as the element says and other times it doesn't hardly get hot at all and then sometimes it's too hot even on the lowest setting. So you're taking a risk purchasing this one.
