Does it shut off when done?

When the rice is done, it stops cooking and goes into a low warm mode. I am not sure how it determines when to go into warm mode. It might have some kind of detector for moisture levels. My wife has left rice sitting in the low warm mode for five or six hours without a problem. There is no complete shutoff until you unplug it.

Yes! Excellent product and the best stainless steel one on the market! And no I do not work for Lotus Rice - but they are quality !

It said it had an automatic timer on it, but I have not noticed it shut off by itself.

Yes it does. It starts to shut down even while in use. Not sure why, guess its on a timer to avoid being left on by mistake to avoid fire hazards.

Unfortunately it does not. It has to be manually shut off when you are ready.

I do not think it has auto shut off. It mentions nothing of it on the box or in the instructions.

Yes it has an auto shut off. We leave ours plugged up. This is the second one we have owed, it is a good product.

yes, you plug it in and it shuts off when you turn it off. I wondered this too.

No, it does not. I think because this is designed more for the professional. It does warm up very fast...so if you shut off do not fear. It will warm up really quick.

Yes it will shut off after it has been on for so long. It is a safety feature. We usually turn ours off right before we get into bed. It is plenty warm throughout the night.

Yes, it turns off automatically. I have had this for almost a year and like it.

No auto shut-off but draws very little power when not in operation. I leave mine on all the time.

I've never needed the shut off, if you unplug it, it cools down completely in about 5 minutes. But, if you need the shut off, it does come with it (to my knowledge).

Never. When it hits the set temperature, it shuts right off. The only criticism I have is that you can hear the click when it turns on or off. This is not a silent unit. It's not an important factor to me but I know it matters to others.

I bought this as a gift and I didn't think to look to see if it has auto shut off. Sorry I could not be more help.

Yes, it does shut off when it reaches temp. I am going to see about returning mine, as it started sparking.

This has not happened to me. The only time it has shut off is when the battery is dead.

Yes, it does. Though I wouldn't leave it unattended and trust to a timer for shut-off.
