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.

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

I searched on Amazon for a heating pad that does not automatically turn off. This one popped up. It does have an auto shut off but it supposedly could be disabled or turned off. I waited on pins and needles for these (I ordered two), when they arrived, the first thing I looked for was how to turn off the auto shut off. NOT POSSIBLE. I had to return them and go search for what I wanted. What a waste of my time!

Sorry, I never noticed a heat sensor, it could be on the Pad, I just never went to look to feel for it. I just go by the the arrows to turn the heat up or down. I usually have it on 3 or 4 and thats a nice setting for me. I am very satisfied with this product

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.

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.

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

Mine was certainly new and in a sealed original Theratherm box. Just be sure that you are purchasing a "new" item and not a "used" item when purchasing on Amazon. BTW, I highly recommend the Theratherm heating pad. It gets hotter than others I've tried and provides a slightly moist heat. It also is of a higher quality than other brands and reminds me of heating pads that I've experienced at Physical Therapy Centers.

The one I have can be set on high, low or keep warm for 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or 10 hours.At the end of the set time it automatically switches to keep warm.It's the 4 1/2 quart oval with the sensor probe. So far it works just fine.

This device is a rheostat, not a thermostat. It cannot sense the pad's temperature. A rheostat is not as intelligent as a thermostat. A thermostat involves feedback (such as of the pad's temperature). It sounds like this is not the device for you.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

I do not knowI have (2) with electric heating pads. This is an outstanding Product.

It heats up pretty fast, however I do not recommend this heating pad. The timer is already not working correctly and if I could I would send it back.You put the minutes and the temp which is good but the temp always changes even though there is a button to lock the temp choice. It doesn't feel like moist heat either.

The best heating pad I have ever had. 60 minute cycle and the heat I have never had all the way up. Works well moist too.

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.

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!).

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.
