Are you able to turn the heat off? I am rarely in the cold for hours at a time, but a little bit of heat/time here and there would be great.

Yes, you can turn it on and off. It heats up quickly. Keep it in the pouch, this helps it to heat faster. I really like mine on cold weather days.

Yes. There are 3 modes. Off, Low Heat, and High Heat. It will hold a charge for a week or two easy when not in use, though I like to keep mine topped off in case of emergency.

Make sure your bedsread is heavy enough to hold the heat. also if you are not in the bed and put your hand on it it won't seem warm. Mine was warm enough but the controller kept blinking and shutting of the heat. I replaced it with a Biddeford which doesn't seem very warm. Oh well.

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

Hi. I just checked. The control has 1-5 coldness option - no ability to set digital. We love it though.

No. You just need to unplug it. Not a big deal. I do HIGHLY suggest making sure you get one with a temperature adjustment (like this one). Great model.

It is an extremely low level of heat. I have forgotten and left it on overnight and it doesn't over heat.

I had mine on for an hour or so, and it got hot, but did not overheat. Sorry, Wish I could help.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

I just purchased 2 of these for use out in the barn, in igloos, for some baby goats. It does for sure help, but I am finding it isn't lasting all night, only about 4-5 hours. It is truly cold right now, and I am sure it wasn't really designed for below freezing outdoor applications, but it does take the chill off of the space. I will probably take out a reheated one in the middle of the night until the kids are a little older on these nights the temp is dropping below freezing! I don't have electric in the barn, won't use a heat lamp anyway, and thought these were worth trying! The kids do lay right on them and I think they are helpful to have around!

I leave mine on all the time, at night I turn down the thermostat to a low level, just above the keep from freezing indicator. Make sure your heater is in a clear and safe location. Heater is used in a 5th wheel RV near Reno NV.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

Yes they really have 20 heat settings auto turn off and preheat. I have two of them and they are wonderful for winter time. About 15 min before I'm ready for bed I turn it on preheat and when you get under the covers it's so nice and toasty. :) I always have mine on 1 or 2 all night but I have tried the 15-20 setting just to see what would happen and it sure gets hot! I tried the auto when I first got it and I would still sleep warm throughout the night but I would want it back on for my toes. I love the comforter it works wonders. Makes you wanna sleep all day!

Mine is working fine. I only intermittently use the high heat setting since it gets so hot, I have to switch to a lower setting, or cool occasionally. But, so far, so good! No complaints here.
