Im looking for Thermophore heating pad that doesnt have hold down switch for 20 minute cycles with a timer on/off switch. Which model is that pleas

Unsure which model meets your specifications. The hold down switch is a safety feature.

I am not sure if they have them that you do not hold down yourself. Mine you plug in hold the lever down for as long as you want and then let go. I suppose you could put an elastic band around it to hold it on indefinitely but that would not be a very safe way to do it. I find these things get quite warm and the heat lasts a long time after you let up on the lever.

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.

I bought one of those that also did not have a "sponge" then I realized it didn't heat beyond warm...JUNK tossed it. Bought a different brand, it's the exact same piece of crap, except it has the so called "sponge" . It's a cross between a shop towel and a wash cloth. So use a well wrung out wash cloth. Good luck, these things are really a horrible excuse for a "heating pad". Better to use one of those things you can throw in the microwave.

Loren, Good morning. The picture is a generic one and shows the heater with an optional thermostat. If you desire said thermostat, please order the DTKSP (DTK-SP). Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further. Thanks, Jeff Cousins Operations Manager

The problem here is that Amazon did not describe what pad you are talking about. PLease define so I can properly answer your question.

I had this one for years and finally it died and I bought this same one again. It heats to the exact temp that you want for the exact amount of time you want. I keep it in my bed during the winter and have it set to shut off after 20 min. It is a large somewhat flexible pad - you can place it how you want it. It is moist heat and not dry heat. I love my pad. I made my own cover for it out of a towel because I liked the terry cloth fabric better than the one that came with it.

Well I have a heated which comes with a heat pad. I'm not sure about the non heated version. But my cat loves it very much especially in the cold. If you live where it gets cold indefinitely recommend one.

The one I ordered came with the switch that you hold down. My chiropractor recommended it as it gets hotter faster. But Battle Creek Equipment DOES make one with the timer switch and temperature adjustment. I believe it may cost a few dollars more. Here is the manufacturer's website to check model numbers. http://battlecreekequipment.com/product_detail.cfm?pid=29 You can also view all other models available from this site. I went here to get information and then make my purchase from Amazon. Good luck!

The thermophore heating pad is therapeutic moist heating pad and gets as hot as the ones at physical therapy that are heated in the hot water baths. This gets extremely hot and the "dead man switch" is a safety feature in the event you were to fall asleep etc. it is phenomenal. With that being said, the type of switch doesn't determine the heat output of the pad, the pad itself determines that. The automatic switch simply turns itself off in 20 minutes where the dead man switch shuts off when you let go of the switch. I have had both and they are equally effective.

Dear Peter, Thank you for your question. Shield Life makes heating pads like the Shield Life TheraPad XL or TheraPad Lite, but they do not have an electronic warmer (could you please clarify what this is?). Thank you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions. Also be sure to check out our site greathealthtech(dot)com! Regards, Sales Team

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.

I am looking for a heater with a timer and found this one on Amazon that has an "on" timer where you can set the time of day. Haven't purchased it so can't comment on how it works. Holmes Digital Bathroom Heater Fan with Pre-Heat Timer and Max Heat Output, HFH436WGL-UM

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.

Just to clarify... The product being sold here the Themofore MAXHEAT pad, does NOT have the switch that requires being held down. They have another pad that they call the "Classic" that has this feature. This one has an on/off switch with Low, medium, and high settings. The pad heats up and automatically turns off in 20 minutes (as a safety feature) and if you want it to continue heating you turn off and back on again.

I gave up on the Hunter prgrammable thermostat and now have a LUX T9100 model. If I remember right, it comes on a little earlier.

No...and it is the worst pad ever! Get the Sunbeam Express King Size pad (about $35 on Amazon)...it gets hot quick, has a nice cover unlike this ones flimsy scratchy thing, and it CAN be set to stay on! They also have a wonderful warranty and customer service...mine flashed an error after a year of ownership & they sent me a new one free along with pre-paid label to return broken one. I sleep with a heating pad every night and the Sunbeam one is by far the best I have ever owned (and I have owned a lot!).
