What is the highest heat setting for this Sunbeam Heating Pad? My previous Sunbeam with Auto-Off and Stay-On choice had heat settings of 1-7 &amp; H-High!

You have your answer but I just wanted to say that R. Dudzinski is right. I have Fibromyalgia and I hurt all the time so I use mine for at least 12-24 hours a day. I very rarely use anything higher than the 1 heat setting. Occasionally a 2 as long as I'm awake and I don't last too long with it. If you are elderly or have sensitive skin to heat or cold, just be careful. I am always cold and even on a 1 I can get too hot and have to move it aside for awhile. This is the best ever heating pad ever and I have two also just in case they stop making them! Hope you enjoy yours.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

Mine is king size, so there are two controls, one for each side. You might need to fiddle with which one goes where because I found the directions a little confusing, not much because I managed to attach the cords in the right place and once I pushed the "on/off" button, I adjusted the temperature (1-19 and H for high) and felt which side was affected (I had it backwards at first), and then I discovered the rest of the settings, including whether you want "Auto Off" or "Stay On". Auto Off turns it off after your specified number of hours up to 10 hours. I set it for Stay On. I turn the blanket on while getting ready for bed and it's warm as toast when I climb into bed. When I get up in the morning I turn it off, no rocket science needed. It will take a few nights to find your ideal setting. I have no central heating and use "14" as the ideal setting so I neither sweat nor get chilled. Keep other blankets handy in case your power goes out. Those two tear drop areas under the labelled buttons are - + for changing your setting, e.g. if it's really cold, I might raise the 14 temperature setting by pushing the + teardrop button. You'll end with kids and dogs piled in with you because this is true comfort.

This heating pad has three settings, low, medium, and high. On any setting, even "low", the heating pad will shut off automatically if it gets too hot. To prevent possible injury to a sleeping person, there is no settable override of this feature. But a user can turn a just shut-down pad back on if he/she wishes. So anyone who is awake can in practice keep the pad producing heat.

The unit has an automatic shutoff that can be set for various temperatures. I have set it to "maximum" and, although the shutoff temperature is not specified, based on my experience it must be well above 80. I don't know, however, what temperature it will not heat above.

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 think so...mine is working fine and this is the best one I have tried. I tried a Biddeford and it was terrible...took it back and that one was just a bad. Got my Sunbeam and have been warm and toasty since.

You might try the "Bodymed Digital Moist Heating Pad. It measures 14x14 inches, it can be set from warm to very hot temperature. You can lock in your most comfortable temperature and it stays on for up to a hour long. This I'm sure is a safety feature. The control pad does not light up which I thought was a minor issue. Cost about $40.00. Good luck.

You can set this on the lowest temp on the dial. It should be good. Mine is set a little higher, but I get up during the night and turn it off as I get too warm. I could adjust the temp control, but I use it to warm my bed, then after I get warm, I just switch it off. I also have a mattress pad over this pad, so I do not lay directly on the pad. You shouldn't have any problems, because it definitely has a "low" setting. Just keep checking it until you find the comfort zone.

I have been using this heating pad since summer last year, every night and sometimes days too. I do not care about the wattage as long as it is working. It does not auto-shut off. It never shuts off unless you shut it off. I don't know what the manual says. I'm a real user - not a spokesperson.

We have used a Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad over a 3" memory foam topper for almost 20 years. Not had a problem yet. The pad doesn't get hot enough to burn you, so it shouldn't get to hot for the topper. Our topper does have a 2" filled cover over it before the mattress pad.

So far, it seems to stay at 400 which is where I set it. The other day, I raised the heat & when I turned it on the next time, it went right back to 400.

Stevie, this is not the unit you want if you need that much control of the heat. It has preset increments, which jump at least 10 degrees each time. Like from 350 to 365, one shining example.

"1" is warmest setting. Mine is on "5". The higher the number, the colder it is.

In auto mode, it's 5 degrees Fahrenheit (that would be closer to 2 degrees Celsius). I believe you can set the temps closer than that if you manually switch from heat to cooling, but I assume you don't want that. I've got three of these at our church building, and last month I just lowered the thresholds for the closest settings to favor cooling. Come fall I'll bump them up again for heating. People's perceptions of the appropriate temperature change with the outside conditions ;-)
