does it shut off when it reaches temprature? Can you leave it turned on continuously?

It has an adjustable thermostat but it doesn't tell you the temperature, so the answer to the first question is technically yes, unless you mean does it shut off completly, then no. And yes to the second question, we leave it on all the time in the winter.

I got a bad one and sent it back. It is not UL listed as it is a Canadian product. It has a thermostat to shut off at a set temp, mine didn't. This product scared me, so I would watch it closely for proper function b4 you just leave it on unattended.

NO--it does not shut off on its own.I have never tried to run mine continuously. It is used to make a large bathroom warmer when showering. I am not sure that I would leave it running continuously. I would certainly not leave the house with it running.

It does shut off, however it's after 6-7 hours. The low setting is plenty warm for me and I live where -20 degrees Fahrenheit is not uncommon during the winter. Hope this helps.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

Yes...when it hits a certain temperature it shuts off to keep it at that temperature

Yes! There is an "auto" button that allows it to stop once it reaches a certain temp but if you want it on all the time you can press that button to turn it off.

It does not turn off instead it goes to warming. After 12 or so between cooking and warming it automatically turnoff.

No it does not shutoff. It goes to a warming setting until unplugged from what wife and me have seen. We usually just unplug it when it is done or trips to warm setting.

Yes; it turns the heat off after 20 - 30 minutes. If you need more heat, just turn it on again. I feel that the shutoff is a good safety feature.

yes. I haven't used it much since I bought it just before summer. Having said that, the few times I have used it , it's been excellent and did shut off at a given temp. I use it in a bathroom. perfect for a small room. hope this helps, Beth

There is no automatic shut off, just on and off switch. So, as long as you have it on...yes.

No. It stays on at the set temperature which is a plus in some case. There are others that have auto-off.

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.

Yes. If you don't press the "HOLD" button (which maintains the temperature for 1 hour), it automatically shuts off when the selected temperature is reached.

Mine did not have an auto shut off. Also i had issue with the built in tempurature control several times i would find it go up over 130c which would kill off the bacteria if left that way for too long.

No you have to unplug it to shut it off. However, it is designed to provide low heat. This is the second one I have owned. I wore the other one out. Usually we do not get temperatures below low to mid 20's and not many of them.

It turns on and off automatically. Getting it set to exactly the right temperature may take some fiddling around with it, but once it's set it stays.
