What is the auto-off time for this blanket?

Per the Sunbeam website it is 10 hours...but it seemed as though it was more like 3 or 4 hours (I haven't used it yet this year).

Hi, I just checked it as because I never switched it off by hand until now. The gauge comes with auto-power-off after ~5min it switches off automatically.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

I am not sure. I always turn on my blanket to pre-warm my bed. I hate getting under cold sheets.

It auto shuts off in about 4.5 min from last use. Odd number but I verified it 3 times.

Sorry for my slow response. I dont remember automatic shut off...in fact I remember worrying I might forget to unplug it and drain my battery. But the warmth was worth the risk!

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.

Coming off sleep mode, I clocked it at 32 secs. While already warm, precisely half that (16 secs.)

The preheat is a manual feature. You cannot set the time it comes on. There is an "auto-off" button that you can set and the heat will turn off after 10 hours. The preheat will warm the bed up fast and will stay on for 30 min then the control goes back to whatever you set it to. There are 20 heat settings to use. We have found this product to work quickly and has been wonderful during Minnesota winters.

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!

I just bought this unit today from Target and it nowhere mentions about auto shut off after 4 hours. All it mentions is the auto shut off after it reaches the thermostat setting temperature and kicks back on when the temperature drops 2 degrees.

The Auto On time and Auto Off time functions operate independently from one another. To cancel either set function, follow the steps above and use the "H" and "M" Buttons to advance to 12:00 AM. Make sure the "M" Button is set to :00, then change the "H" Button. When you reach 12:00 AM, the Control Center will indicate "OFF" and the function will be disabled. I copied this from the manual but if that doesn't work leave it unplugged although they claim you can leave it on all the time. hope this helps

I believe it's preset for 10 hours after you turn it on. So if you warm up the bed for 30-60 minutes, you will still have 9 or 9 plus hours of a warm bed. And if you forget to turn it off after just 7 hours of sleep, it will automatically turn off at the completion of those 10 hours. In other words, it doesn't run all day while you are at work or wherever.

It's programmable, so you can simply make it turn itself off during the night. You can manually turn it off if you go on vacation. Otherwise, you can set the temperature as low as 60 degrees, although if you put it on economy, the temperature would have to drop 4 degrees before it would come back on.

It shuts off after 10 or 12 hours........way too long for me. I usually turn it on 1 hour before I go to bed, turning it off when I get into bed. Bed stays nice and toasty until I fall asleep. (Course I also have 3 little dogs under the covers with me. :)

You can program it for a short time or a full 8 hours. It has an auto turn off for safety in case you forget after the set time. I love this warmer!

It has an auto shut-off at 3 hours - our control melted in less than 30 days!
