Model number 155 has an automatic 20 minute timer. Check out ASIN B000ZHJS0G.

I have been through 4 of them too. All of a sudden a red light flashes on the controller and if you unplug it and then plug it back in it works for a while. This is the signal that the heating pad is starting to fail.

Unless the manufacturer has changed the product, this heating pad does not shut off. I bought mine 10/2013 and it has no auto shut-off.

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.

That is the on/ off switch. Set the pot on the heating unit and push down on the handle...it will cut off automatically.I love it!!!!

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. :)

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 not found an auto turnoff one....I sure would like it though....I forget to turn all of mine off very frequently. No Big problem if just 8 or so hours but guess it could be if left on for days.

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

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

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 a button on the iron that allows you to shut it off without unpluging. It's the same button that turns it on.

This heating pad does not have an automatic off feature. I used it for a half hour to one hour and then shut off so I don't know how long it would stay hot. 50 watts is printed on the pad. It is very basic but it was fine for a sore back.

I had one once with the auto switch and didn't like it. I find the manual switch gives me better heat control.

This does not have an auto shut off. However, it only takes seconds to heat up and I unplug them to roll my hair. I wouldn't need an auto shut off.

The pad has no temp control. It is either on or off. A rheostat might work.
