Query: Oct 2011 -- DOES Have Auto Shut-Off :-(

I never tried the heating pad and thus can't speak to its various settings, speed of heating, consistency, etc. I have no idea. I had to return the item because it would not be useful to me with the automatic 2-hour shut off feature. This feature wasn't listed in the item description, and several reviewers had mentioned that they were glad to find a pad without it, but as of Oct 2011, at least the one I received does come with it. Bummer!
