Does it shut off automatically? I want one that shuts off by itself (I've had one) so that if I go to sleep it doesn't keep going all night.

No, it is hand held. if you don't hold it there is no control - and it does not go off automatically. I don't know how you could fall to sleep using this thing, anyway.

It does not shut off automatically. You will need to buy a in line timer. They dont cost much. If ya fell asleep with it on high .... you will wake up very raw. The speed adjuster may vibrate to an increasing lower level... At the wrong time that could be irritating... lol good buy though. Best wishes

Unfortunately it does not. It has to be manually shut off when you are ready.

No not that I know of. I never leave mine on for long. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mine turns itself off, which for me is very desirable. I can never remember to turn it off. It needs to be turned back on manually.

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.

Hello Jeff, it will turn off automatically! I have been using mine for over a year and have had no trouble leaving it to charge overnight

Just wandering if you ever bought this heating pad? Does it have the auto-shutoff or not? 4 answers....2 say yes, 2 say no. I'm looking for one without an auto-shutoff. If you could let me know, it would really help. Thank you! :)

No the auto shut off is built in and shuts off after 2 hours. I usually fall asleep with mine on so it's perfect for me, but you can just click it back on.

mine doesn't shut off. probably a flaw. i just turn off when i get out of bed. have had at least 3 of this brand previously and they all had auto shutoff.....i believe it was 8 to 10 hours

Yes, it turns off on its own after 20-30min of inactivity.It's a great machine for quite a variety of settings & I recommend it.

Yes, even in the middle of the night when you wish it would shut its self off.

No, it can't It does have a sleep timer that will automatically shut off if you want to set it for when you think you will fall asleep.

I've never left it on all night so I'm not sure, but I haven't noticed an automatic shutoff mechanism or anything. Remember that it takes batteries so leaving it on all night could eat through those pretty quickly.

No it just goes on and off by itself, you have to unscrew it a little to interrupt the battery connection to turn it off

It has to be turned on manually each night,but the shut off is timed by the unit internally. Love this item by the way.

No it does not auto shut off. Maybe4 it ought to... but it has no on or off switch... you plug it in and unplug it... these are the only controls...

It stays on all the time. You have to turn it off when not in use. The spec's say it uses 0.5W in stand-by, which I assume means off. It also uses up to 20W of power when on. However, when your TV set is off it is probably only using a small amount of power more than in stand-by. There is no "sleep mode" in the traditional sense where its smart enough to turn off itself.

It does not shut off by itself. Pressing the control buttons will turn it off or disconnecting the power will do the same. I recommend disconnecting the power as a good safety step anyway.

As far as I've experience so far, it never turns off unless you turn it off. I left it on overnight one time.
