Hi Gde,
Try the Walmart house brand. I know we get different stock in Canada, which is where the OP and I both reside.
My new inverter is PSW, so I'm covered in any event.
Nope.
Local WM only carries heating pads which are auto off.. Had to buy a new heating pad only a few months ago to replace a rock solid 10 year old one which had no electronics in it but was showing too much wear.
Checked many other stores also but no dice.. I am thinking that there was some either legislation/rules or UL standards for the US enacted a few years ago (perhaps could even be the same laws governing incadescent lights being outlawed and the auto off is saving us from "wasting" electricity)..
Although they are cheap enough you might be able to cut the controller off and wire it the way you want but that method will "void" any and all UL approvals and not for the electron challenged folks..
