does this heating pad automatically turn off?

the ones I purchased do NOT turn off automatically = which is why I bought them. I couldn't find any like them anywhere locally and both myself and my pet needed something to wrap in a towel and sleep on.

Yes. There's a button on the bottom and if the heater isn't sitting flat, pushing this button in, it will turn off.

I do not think it has automatic shut off. I never leave it on more than the normal use.

Sorry, but no. It does have temperature control which I like but it does not turn off by itself.

Yes it automatically turns off and the light turns green when temperature is met. When the heater is on and heating tank the light is red.

Does not turn off automatically. You would always know it was on because the only way it heats, is to also blow air.

I don't think so. I actually like the auto shut off feature. It keeps me from leaving the heating pad on all day.

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

Actually I did not pay attention if it automatically switch off once reached the chosen temperature, but it has thermostat. I will see in the next days if it stops or it keep on heating. I can say it is a nice and very good quality item.

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!

Most heating pads have the auto shut-off. But, whether it's an auto shut-off or you shut it off, the control element should go cold. The one in this extra large heating pad, not king size, stays warm even when turned off. Therefore, you cannot leave it plugged in, it has to be unplugged for the control element to cool down. That's a step backward in technology!

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! :)

Yes, it has an auto-off feature. Not sure how long it stays on but it automatically shuts off if left unused within 5 minutes.

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

No it does not auto shut off, You have the choice of off, low and high heat. I never run mine on high as low does quite well.

No it does not have auto shut off feature. But I would recommend this product - my whole family uses it. It heats up quickly and works great!

Ours doesn't. Not at all. Our Sunbeam heating pads, however, had multiple power supply failures after a week or two. This Paraheat pad works well.BTW, you should avoid falling asleep on a heating pad that doesn't have an automatic off mode just to make sure you don't get scorched. Mark
