What conditions trigger the auto shutoff? We need a kettle that can keep water hot all day but not burn the house down if it runs dry.

When the kettle boils, it shuts itself off. But you'd have to keep turning it on and filling it up, it wouldn't keep water warm all day. Once it is off, it's off. Which is the feature I like. For if I turn it on and get distracted, the kettle doesn't burn dry. Hope this helps.

The kettle when it reaches the correct temperature shuts down and after a few seconds turns off. You do not have to unplug. There is a minimum water mark on the kettle no need to completely fill.

no auto shut off, if there is no enough water the reaction will stop going, so it runs until not touching water anymore. If full 6-8 h, depends on water (how hard it is)

Love this and it will stay on as long as there is enough water in it for 12 hrs and hot enough for coffee or making tea from a tea bag. If it is already on the warm function and you want it hotter them just hit the on button on top and it will reboil it again in no time. If the water runs real low it will automatically turn of. :)

It has an off and on and also a warmer switch. So you can just boil the water and then it shuts off or keep it warm. I like it a lot.

This is only a guess on my part, but I believe the auto shut off on this unit is due in part because of the vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes can create a good amount of heat. The auto shut off may be designed to keep your unit cool when not in use.

No. After reaching the boiling point it automaticslly switches off as do all the electric kettles I have experienced.

The electric kettle shuts itself off after about 10 seconds after coming to a full boil. If you are not in the kitchen and it cools down, you will have to turn it on again. No problem.

No, there is no alert. Once the boiling point is reached, the kettle will be automatically turned off. The power switch will return to off position (up) and blue light on the switch (indicating the power is on) will be off.

The way this kettle operates requires the mechanical switch to be turned on. It is also advised in the manual to unplug the kettle when not in use.

Yes, when the water reaches the boiling point the switch that turns it on automatically shuts off.

Yes, it does shut off automatically. The base contains the cord, so that the kettle itself is cordless.

When the unit is turned on it automatically turns on and off so the hot steam from the water in the kettle keeps the upper tea pot warm.

Electric : Boils quickly then shuts itself off. No danger of boiling to evaporation. Get it, you won't be sorry.

Yes you can turn the kettle off at the base without unplugging it. The kettle automatically turns itself off when you lift it off of the base .There is a minimum amount of water that has to be in the kettle in order for it to work properly, but you don't have to fill it to the top if you only want to boil a small amount.

Auto shutoff is on when you use plastic lid. Just remove plastic lid then you can boil water as long as you like. Just be sure you are not away from it.
