Does this heating pad have an automatic turn-off? Or can you change the setting to be constantly on?

Yes, the pad will automatically shut off if it gets too hot and/or after 2 hours of being on idle so to speak. This can be avoided by changing the heat setting up or down or shutting it off and turning it on again before it cools for continuous heat.

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.

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

It turns itself off on auto mode whenever it gets to the correct temperature. We leave it on in the bathroom overnight so that the temp never falls too far in the winter. Actually, I leave it on all winter on auto mode. We just adjust the setting if we feel it needs to be warmer or cooler. Hope this helps :)

No, that's the good feature about this heating pad. Most pads shut off in 2 hours. It just have an on and off switch but it's a comfortable warm setting.

3 heat settings plus off. So...low, med, high. I found the low setting is hot enough. Unfortunately within 24 hours the light on the control stopped working. This is dangerous as could be inadvertently be left on as no timer and cut off switch on this pad. I now keep it as a backup and bought a different make with a timer! I consider this pad very dangerous as if it is left on it could burn someone who did not have the mobility to turn it off. Hope this helps.

It may have an auto-off but the button is for on or warm, it goes into warm when done. We unplug it.

In my experience it switches to a "keep warm" setting but does not automatically shut off.

It's automatic. As soon as you unplug it the unit stays hot for one hour. There is no on off switch

I have been using this heating pad since summer last year, every night and sometimes days too. I do not care about the wattage as long as it is working. It does not auto-shut off. It never shuts off unless you shut it off. I don't know what the manual says. I'm a real user - not a spokesperson.

This one does not shut off: Sunbeam 756-500 Heating Pad with UltraHeatTechnology. You need to check each product and look at the reviews. Someone will ask and answer that questions.

No, not automatically. There are "high", "low", and "keep warm" settings, but they must be changed manually.

It says in the manual there is an auto off setting that you can set....I always turn mine off when I get in bed...I just want to crawl into a warm bed.

No, it doesn't turn itself off, however it is not a hot heat - it doesn't get so hot as an electric blanket, even... but it's a very low and consistent warmth, so we don't worry about turning it off until we are up and about the next morning. My husband has had some neuropathy in his feet, and this little blanket at the foot of the bed has been very therapeutic for him, and I enjoy the warmth too! I gave this sunbeam foot pad five stars!

I have had this running continuously for aweek or more at a stretch. Unless its on high heat setting, it will turn off periodically relating the heat.

No, you can turn the temperature down to the lowest setting -1. You have to unplug it to turn it off.

Unfortunately, no. I wish it did. Nor can you set it to turn off. When the preset cooking time is completed, it switches to warm.
