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.

I do not know. This product comes with different levels of insensitive So far I haven't been able to use it higher than Level 5, so I don't worry about wattage.

I have asked myself this question for many products sold on Amazon.com. Sometimes the sizes are given as "Small" "Medium" and "Large". This type of "information" is useless. I had intended to buy a heated pad, but, since Amazon.com won't give me the information I need, I won't buy it from them

Unless the manufacturer has changed the product, this heating pad does not shut off. I bought mine 10/2013 and it has no auto shut-off.

3 heat settings plus off. So...low, med, high. I found the low setting is hot enough. Unfortunately within 24 hours the light on the control stopped working. This is dangerous as could be inadvertently be left on as no timer and cut off switch on this pad. I now keep it as a backup and bought a different make with a timer! I consider this pad very dangerous as if it is left on it could burn someone who did not have the mobility to turn it off. Hope this helps.

I really don't know the wattage. I bought three of these over the past two years. The first two work great, nice even moderate temperature and when placed under the bed pad for my cats they love it. The third one was a dud and didn't work at all.

I don't know because I returned the heating pad after it stopped getting warm enough to help after several uses.

I bought one about a year ago (or less). One control or ?? quit, so only one side heats. When I contacted SEALY, they responded that they contract out the making of these pads - in China. SEALY sent me the names of two POSSIBLE companies to contact. Neither one is the name listed on the control. Neither contact seems to be able to assist. SO, I am buying a SUNBEAM this time and keeping my fingers crossed.

You're welcome! It works well... just be prepared to keep cutting it back on every 15 min or so. ...I wanted a pad with 'auto on' but most all have this auto cutoff safety feature that can get a little annoying..

I did not see enough information with the shipment to calculate the wattage. The pad is not very warm so the amps are probably low.

Most heating pads have the auto shut-off. But, whether it's an auto shut-off or you shut it off, the control element should go cold. The one in this extra large heating pad, not king size, stays warm even when turned off. Therefore, you cannot leave it plugged in, it has to be unplugged for the control element to cool down. That's a step backward in technology!

You know...I looked on the item and I don't know if it is listed. I don't see the wattage listed in the manual. Is there a concern? I am just curious. Thank you.

Used this on a Yetti 400 and the watts usage was about 100 once it got going. At start up the meter read 170 and it dropped as the heat built up. There is no amp meter on the Yetti so I called RoadPro and they said it draws 12 amps and uses 144 watts (volts x amps= watts). Customer service was great and very informative, the Use and Care Guide in the box could be better.

Wattage not mentioned in manual, sorry. However, I have used at least weekly since buying. It's awesome and as far as I can tell it does NOT lose any power while running it. It does have a seven minute power failure back up. Memory holds for that seven minutes.

This one does not shut off: Sunbeam 756-500 Heating Pad with UltraHeatTechnology. You need to check each product and look at the reviews. Someone will ask and answer that questions.

I considered not responding, since I have taken this to the goodwill, and do not know the wattage, but it gets scorching hot, and does not cook even, just burnt on the bottom , but not cooked through. I do not recommend.

My power plug IS at the top of the bed; the wires which control the temp plug in at the bottom... Biggest issue I have is that the heat control for each side barely reaches the side of the bed...and is forever getting pulled to the floor. I am NOT pleased with my sunbean pad!
