Does this have tip over protection? Will it shut off if knocked over?

No shut off in event of tip over. It is light weight and my cats have knocked it over. I only run it if I'm in the room. Also, it only heats a small area. It takes the chill out of my bedroom and is good near sofa for tv watching. It does have a temperature shut off...you set how hot you want it.

well its pretty sturdy, you have to really hit it hard to knock it over, but I don't think it comes with a tip-over feature, I just turned it on and laid it on the floor and it stayed on ...so I don't think so.

I've dropped it, knocked it over... no leaks or drips as long as it is in the closed postion.Even when left in open, very little spillage.I love it!

No, it does not shut off when tipped over; howeverThe ceramic screen does not get hot so there is doesn't appear to be a way for it to catch a carpet, curtain, blanket or other item on fire. Nonetheless, I would use it in an open area and avoid knocking it over to be on the safe side. I had the same question prior to purchase.

This model does not have tip over cutoff protection as of November 2015. I confirmed this by testing the two I bought. Both units kept running when I laid them on their sides. I returned both of them.

Mine has never tipped over on it's own. However, I just tipped it over to check and it shut off. It is very sturdy with the base being the largest section of it.

It lays down. I would not worry about it blowing out but theft could be a concern.

No, it has flame only, flame and 2 heat settings. It may have a shut off if it is knocked over, I'm not sure, but otherwise it is on or it is off.

It does to a point. Because its a rubber material but there is nothing over the screen to protect it. If you drop it face down it will not be protected at all.

It could work OK since the demo video says the "tip-over shut-off" should turn it off with it turned about 45 degrees. So rolling down or up a hill shouldn't kill it (if it's not too steep), yet impacts from a bump is hard to say if that would trigger it or not. Just be careful about securing it and not having things that can burn too close to it in the direction the heat is aimed.

I wouldn't say "Easily" but it DOES tip given a modest amount of pressure. So, it's ok to have in the corner and a slight push won't knock it over. However, we did recently have one of the kids knock it over but only because it was laden with a LOT of jackets, hats, umbrellas, etc and the kid pulled on one of the coats.

yes it does...if it is knocked over or if you leave it in the horizontal position, it will stop heating after 30 seconds. If it is in the upright position, and not touched for 15 minutes, it stops heating. A little red light blinks to let you know that it is no longer heating.

No, it doesn't go over the edge of the screen, but I have dropped my iPod 3 or 4 times on our linoleum floor, and it hasn't shattered the screen. It hasn't even scratched it! Just lucky I guess :)

I highly doubt it would get knocked over due to the design and filled weight. If it did, the valvle would likely open and it would continue to try to fill. I really can't imagine it getting knocked over, its heavy when full and difficult to even scoot. Mine is set on a concrete patio and doesnt budge once filled.

The case does not get hot at all, although it is quite warm air blowing out where you can see the red, heated quartz. I have a small dog, and she walks in front of it all of the time. I am not aware of any safely shut off on this heater. It is heavy and solid, so I can not think it would tip over. Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions.

Not really. Around the 4 corners it has a little rubber, but not total protection. Hope this helps

Yes! I have knocked it over and never a dropped spilled. Inside the lid there is a thin waxy like substance that when you put hot liquid in activates sealing it. If you tilt it while it is full I recommend waiting a moment to open it though as with the metal mesh strainer inside it takes a moment to drop back down into the cup.
