Does the heating pad stay on all night or does it turn off after awhile and only turns on manually?

The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. It's low heat so I leave mine plugged in all day.

Its a constant heat but very low, it doesn't get hotter then a dog can handle, I do rescue and my dogs love heating blankets but if they are one them to long they can actually get sick, thats why I like this bed, I use mine indoors as my house is all tile and cold. I've had one for over 3 years and it is still warm, just a little less then when it was new. I own 3 now and like the medium bed even for small dogs because sometimes they actually share. :)

It stays on. I use mine outside. My feral cat loves it. I placed it in her redwood kitty condo. We get freezing temps here in the winter. Excellent product, I will be buying another one as a spare.

I have one installed on a toggle only. We run it for 15-20 minutes in the morning to warm the bathroom and it has done fine. I dont know if it has an auto shut off and we always check and double ckeck that it is off before leaving for work.

It's just on and off. *There is a switch at the top of the heater, but my husband usually just unplugs it to turn it off. *Edit

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

I don't think so. I actually like the auto shut off feature. It keeps me from leaving the heating pad on all day.

Most heating pads have the auto shut-off. But, whether it's an auto shut-off or you shut it off, the control element should go cold. The one in this extra large heating pad, not king size, stays warm even when turned off. Therefore, you cannot leave it plugged in, it has to be unplugged for the control element to cool down. That's a step backward in technology!

You have to unplug it to shut it off. Otherwise it just switches over to the "warm" setting and stays on.

Mine also goes on and off frequently. Very little really running on it. Sometimes it's on all the time, but it doesn't get super hot underneath.

It turns on and off automatically. Getting it set to exactly the right temperature may take some fiddling around with it, but once it's set it stays.

My girlfriend uses it and told me it switches off automatically while she sleeps. She told me it stays on about three hours.

The pad has no temp control. It is either on or off. A rheostat might work.

It is manual, you can only turn on or off.. .. it doesn't automatically turn off if it gets too hot. It does get hot to a limit so there is no reason for you to turn it off while you are still using it.

Yes...but remember it can make you seem to itch from too much vibration......and i believe it shuts off at a certan time frame....but IT IS NOT SAFE to fall asleep with heating pads......all heating pads can be a fire hazard.........

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!

Hi the pad does i think the light stops glowing so i assume that means it has turned itself off.

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.

Yes it automatically turns off and the light turns green when temperature is met. When the heater is on and heating tank the light is red.
