I don't see a clearly marked temperature adjuster and/or an on/off switch. Where is it located and is it easy to read and use?

There's a round dial that adjusts temperature by fabric type. These same dial is used to turn it off and on.

Temp adjuster is the wheel on top. It turns on when you plug it in and times out and shuts off. There is a red light that flashes when it turns off. There is a button under the handle on the window where you can see the water, towards the top that you push to turn it back on. This is by far the best iron I've had. The other thing I like is at the point of the iron like when you iron between buttons that are buttoned up, the fabric can go between the bottom of the iron and the top of the hot bottom. Hard to explain but you'll love it.

A rotating dial right below the water fill hole goes from "off" to "linen"; very easy to read. However, in the "off" position, a red light on the handle remains lit for several minutes, though no heat is transmitted to the soleplate. To avoid the light, my habit is to unplug the unit when I'm through using it. This iron gets a grade of excellent in my book.

The red toggle switch is "on/off". The dark gray dial is the thermostat control for setting temperature. The fan turns on and off automatically based on the setting of the gray dial and the temperature of _?_ (am not too sure about what temperature or other input it uses for controlling when it turns on and off, but it does cycle on and off). The fan is a bit loud. The unit also has an internal "tip" switch for safety that will turn the heater off if the unit is knocked over; It will turn back on if sat upright. This product is MADE IN CHINA.

There is no on/off switch or temperature control. Plug it in and it's on; unplug it and it's off. It runs continuously. I do not have it in front of me, but it is about 18"+/- long and about 3-4" in diameter. The heating element is protected within a ventilated stainless steel sleeve as can be seen in the photo which protects it from touching any surface. I'm sure a plastic bucket would work OK. Wiring is completely waterproof. I submerge the whole unit when using it with no ill effects.

High Tech Man, if I can find the manual I will check to see if it provides degree ratings but my recollection is that it does not. Neither the remote control nor the unit itself provides degree indicators, just lights signifying low, medium, high. While I have no way of knowing the temperature setting, I can tell you that the lowest setting is pretty low. Sorry I couldn't be of more use.

The on and off switch is the knob near the lower left corner. Turned all the way down is off. We had one come on and run several hours while we were gone. After that, we started turning the circuit breaker off. Another option would be to get one without the knob (or keep the knob turned all the way up) and control it with a separate wall thermostat. The elements constantly fail. I wouldn't purchase one again. I had one in our shed for extra parts to keep the three in the house running all the time. It was an annual expectation that I would have to fix at least one of the three. We no longer have any.

No display or temperature sensor on the remote. I have a "dumb" frigidaire remote and the signals for fan/cool up/down etc are the same - this aspect of the remotes is interchangeable.

It is a slide control. There are not any temperature numbers on the control. It is a Minimum, Halfway point, and Maximum setting.

The STC-1000. For the price and functionality you absolutely can't go better. I have one controlling the temperature in my homebrew refrigerator and another for backup (the price was so cheap, I thought for sure it would burn out or stop working, but 1 year and it's still working perfectly). Mine only reads in celsius, but I have a chart right next to it that converts to F so I can easily adjust. It is digital and you can program very specifically the upper and lower ranges and read the current termperature at any time. The temperature probe is very small (compared to a manual knob type I have and paid much more for). It does require some wiring, so it's a little DIY, but there are videos on youtube that show pretty well how to do it. Be sure an watch those before you make your final decision to make sure you're up for a little wiring (I know nothing about electricity or wiring and was able to do it in 30 minutes or so)

never actually measured the temperature , but the temperature is not adjustable

It's adjustable, but extremely sensitive and I think it has the problem Jeff describes. I wish it was less sensitive and had indicator to show high, med, low to help get consistent temperatures.

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 believe the two settings are "always on" and "timed temp on/off". I like the adjustable temp setting and timer control. Nice little heater

The controls are on the digital display where you turn the unit on. You can set the temperature and other setting with the push buttons. It's hard to see, so you need a light on them. Also the upper button controls the yellow light that comes on when pushed. pPush again for higher setting and then again to shut it off. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is just on and off. No way to adjust the temperature except by putting layers on top of the pad. I always leave it on. I put it away in the summer and plug it in and turn it on in the fall. I'm in my second winter with this pad. It still works perfectly.

Make sure you pull out the clear plastic strip if there is one hanging out of the battery compartment. That keeps the batteries from being in contact with the unit while shipping. There is a sliding on/off switch on the side. Slide it on. On bottom, choose and set whether you want to read in Celsius or F. On top, choose and set whether you want a temperature beep (temp alert) when it gets to target temp. Left two buttons you set the time in hours and minutes. Right two buttons you adjust up or down your target temp. Bottom button starts or stops unit. Hope this helps, also you can always call kitchenaid help line. : )

The adjustments are on the bottom of the "ball" at the bottom of the fixture. They are very easy to see once you look underneath the white detection screen. One adjusts the timer and the other how dark it must be for the sensor to function.
