Im looking for Thermophore heating pad that doesnt have hold down switch for 20 minute cycles with a timer on/off switch. Which model is that pleas

Unsure which model meets your specifications. The hold down switch is a safety feature.

I am not sure if they have them that you do not hold down yourself. Mine you plug in hold the lever down for as long as you want and then let go. I suppose you could put an elastic band around it to hold it on indefinitely but that would not be a very safe way to do it. I find these things get quite warm and the heat lasts a long time after you let up on the lever.

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.

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.

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.

Well I have a heated which comes with a heat pad. I'm not sure about the non heated version. But my cat loves it very much especially in the cold. If you live where it gets cold indefinitely recommend one.

Unless the manufacturer has changed the product, this heating pad does not shut off. I bought mine 10/2013 and it has no auto shut-off.

I use the "Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats". Works pretty well but a bit pricey, here's the link:Jump Start MTPRTC, Digital ETL-Certified Heat Mat Thermostat for Seed Germination, Reptiles and Brewing

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. :)

I bought one about a year ago (or less). One control or ?? quit, so only one side heats. When I contacted SEALY, they responded that they contract out the making of these pads - in China. SEALY sent me the names of two POSSIBLE companies to contact. Neither one is the name listed on the control. Neither contact seems to be able to assist. SO, I am buying a SUNBEAM this time and keeping my fingers crossed.

Dear Peter, Thank you for your question. Shield Life makes heating pads like the Shield Life TheraPad XL or TheraPad Lite, but they do not have an electronic warmer (could you please clarify what this is?). Thank you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions. Also be sure to check out our site greathealthtech(dot)com! Regards, Sales Team

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.

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

Mine was certainly new and in a sealed original Theratherm box. Just be sure that you are purchasing a "new" item and not a "used" item when purchasing on Amazon. BTW, I highly recommend the Theratherm heating pad. It gets hotter than others I've tried and provides a slightly moist heat. It also is of a higher quality than other brands and reminds me of heating pads that I've experienced at Physical Therapy Centers.

It also does not say in the listing that is has auto shutoff. I checked the Sunbeam web site and it says there is a 2 hour auto shut off. You may try searching the web or checking all the heating pads at Sunbeam.com

It has a manual on/off but does have its own thermostat. The pad does not heat up like a "human" heating pad. It maintains a comfortable temperature based on the pet's body temp. It never feels "hot" to the touch. I don't know if it would work with an external timer. It may have to be manually turned on & off. I could give it a try & let you know later.
