Get one of these, plug the foot warmer into it, and it'll turn itself off: Belkin Conserve Socket Energy-Saving Outlet with Timer (F7C009)

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.

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. It does not hav automatic switch off. It doesn't get over heated so fast, depends on load and time

Not that I have found...however, it does not turn off totally, so if you wake up and the red light is blinking, it does reheat really quickly. I don't know why, but I am glad this feature is available. I have horrible arthritis complicated by disease that doesn't allow regular blood supply to my extremities, so they are always cold. What I really love about this heating pad is that once it has been used and the red light is still blinking hours later, you can heat it up much quicker than if it had been manually turned off. It is really important to me year round that I can warm my hands and feet quickly. This is the best heating pad that I have found for the purposes that I need heating pads for...plus, it is really large so I can wrap my hands and even my feet up in pads for extra warmth. I have not seen a heating pad without the "auto off" feature in years...I think there have been too many law suits. Have you thought of an electric blanket or heated mattress pad? I hope this info helps you make a safe decision. I understand your point, but would also suck if you woke up with a major burn or an electrical fire!

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.

It has a switch to turn on and it shuts off automatically. It is very convenient.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

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 has an auto shutoff that can be disabled. Take the control apart and unsolder the 2nd pin. Problem solved. I've been running mine 24 hours a day nonstop for 2 years without a problem

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.

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

It has a pressure switch that turns it off when it has the correct pressure built up.

It's very quick to heat up. I have bought over 100 heating pads in my lifetime and most don't last a year. This one is really good and I like how it goes off automatically after one hour unless you reset it which is easy. Plus you put it on the degrees you want not just low medium and high. I highly recommend this item

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