How many heat settings does it have?

Six, from low warmth to a fairly high setting. That is more granular than the three-setting pads many rivals sell.

Can the cover be washed?

Yes. The faux fur cover is removable and washable, which is unusual at this level; most pads have fixed fabric.

Yes, it has an automatic shut-off, so it will not run indefinitely if you fall asleep.

12 by 24 inches. That covers the back and shoulders well but is short for wrapping around limbs.

Owners commonly use it for back and shoulder relief and praise the even warmth. It is not a medical device, so treat it as comfort heat.

No. It is a dry-heat pad only, unlike some rival pads that accept a damp towel.
