Model number 155 has an automatic 20 minute timer. Check out ASIN B000ZHJS0G.

Unplug it from the wall to get rid of the FF. This is the only thing I find annoying with my favorite ever heating pad used daily.

It doesn't have one. Click the left button to turn it on. It turns itself off automatically. Irritating actually.

The only setting this heating pad have is, on and off. The pad stays on, which is a good thing because most of the inexpensive heating pads, shut off in 2 hours. I purchased many for the stray cats, that come into my garage. I kept one for myself, which is in my favorite TV chair. It keeps my back comfortably warm. I have no complaint about this inexpensive, continuous running, comfortably warm heating pad.

It does not have an actual off switch, however, when you hold down the temp up button the power turns off. The bigger issue is that the iron I have does not heat up enough to iron my clothes. I should have returned this

No, it doesn't automatically switch. It has a 3 position switch.....heat, off, and cool. One must manually change the position.

I have been through 4 of them too. All of a sudden a red light flashes on the controller and if you unplug it and then plug it back in it works for a while. This is the signal that the heating pad is starting to fail.

I use the switch to manually turn my lamp post light onand off on occasion. Mainly it turns my post light on and off at the designated times

There is an auto feature which will turn the heated mattress pad off after 10 hours. That is the only "timer" feature. Most people use this for sleeping. I find the 2 or 3 setting to be the most comfortable to take the chill off the sheets.

The thermophore heating pad is therapeutic moist heating pad and gets as hot as the ones at physical therapy that are heated in the hot water baths. This gets extremely hot and the "dead man switch" is a safety feature in the event you were to fall asleep etc. it is phenomenal. With that being said, the type of switch doesn't determine the heat output of the pad, the pad itself determines that. The automatic switch simply turns itself off in 20 minutes where the dead man switch shuts off when you let go of the switch. I have had both and they are equally effective.

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.

This heating pad has three settings, low, medium, and high. On any setting, even "low", the heating pad will shut off automatically if it gets too hot. To prevent possible injury to a sleeping person, there is no settable override of this feature. But a user can turn a just shut-down pad back on if he/she wishes. So anyone who is awake can in practice keep the pad producing heat.

Per enclosed instruction page: The auto-off feature is indicated by an LED light in the upper left corner of the controller. This pad has an LED light and will auto-shut off after two hours.

I don't remember what it is for, but there is a switch on the right edge of the panel labelled "auto-off". Mine is switched to "auto" and it works fine.

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

They do Julia. You can go to the Thermophore website and order it. I personally prefer the manual switch because I tend to fall asleep with the heating pad on. However, after posting my last comment raving about this heating pad, the manual switch has broken and since I made the purchase 6 weeks ago I have been unable to get either Amazon or Battlecreek to help me with regard to a replacement. I am very disappointed.

I had one once with the auto switch and didn't like it. I find the manual switch gives me better heat control.
