Hi, It auto-shuts off in about 20 min of usage. I would have to let it cool to use it again. Very annoying. Can do only one room at a time. Any help?

It sounds as if you need to clean the filter. This vacuum is sop powerful for such A small appliance. I need to clean the filter very well after each use. I also put this filter in the washing machine about once a month and it comes out looking like a new filter. So, try emptying the filter more often.

This ssounds like a manufacturing defect. If it is still under warranty, turn it in to the company. I have never experienced that with aeither of the sticks I have owned.

Hi Jay,Mine works for as long as it's plugged in- I do sometimes unplug it to move it to another plug to do the next room, but it's never shut off on me. Thanks, REN- I do clean mine after every use so maybe that's why?

20 Minutes of usage is about par for this vacuum. The first one I owned and used for 18 months before the plastic parts broke and made it unusable exhibited the same problem. You just have to limit continuous usage to less than 20 minutes. You will get less usage if you are vacuuming carpet. But if you have a newer unit, the head motor is probably already burned out. This is one real piece of junk machine.

I've never experienced any shutoff and I use mine daily for over 30 minutes at a time. I'm assuming this is the corded model and not the rechargeable?

Mine was shutting off after about 3-5 minutes of use, so I called Hoover customer service and they solved the problem right away by having me remove the power nozzle at the swivel neck. It is a press fit, but it will come off with a bit of tug. Looking down the nozzle swivel neck it was so full of debris and hair that the thermal protector was shutting the unit off. I took a wire coat hanger and literally pull out about a half a cup of hair and debris. Now i just finished a 1,400 square feet area (bare floor and a small carpeted area) and no problems at all. I hope this helps

Hi. i would make sure that the bag is clean even if it looks empty. i had that problem.

yup mine shuts off too. you MUST remove the two hepa filters on the handle. and CLEAN the chamber EVERY time you use it. make sure ALL filters are clear of lint. it may still shut off but that is what i have found to help. the thermal overload is very finiky.

I think it's supposed to have an automatic shut off. Maybe yours is not working proper? Send it back.

Actually, I leave it on all the time, but I'm sure the air quality would revert back in a short period of time. Just like on a hot day, when the air conditioner goes off, it doesn't take long before the house starts getting warm again. Except for cleaning it, I see no reason to turn it off, though.

Yes the machine will automatically shut off, then start again when needed. Set the desired humidity level, fan speed, etc. and forget it... Well make sure the drain hose is attached and to a continuous drain otherwise you'll have to empty the bucket provided.

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

I never had a problem with it runnind down the battery, but i didn't use it very long. I live in Alaska and it did not put out enough heat to be of any help, so i took it out and it is setting in my closet.

Just wandering if you ever bought this heating pad? Does it have the auto-shutoff or not? 4 answers....2 say yes, 2 say no. I'm looking for one without an auto-shutoff. If you could let me know, it would really help. Thank you! :)

Yes, fantastic feature! I beleive it automatically shuts off after 60 minutes.

Auto shut off kicks in after 60 seconds of idle. No. You have to touch it/use it within the 60 secs period.

People complain about it, BUT, my brother in law's house burnt to the ground while on vacation because he didn't have the auto shut off. Just turn it off and back on if you want another two hours of heat.

The fan should not run continuously. If the evap. Thermostat is satisfied with the room temperature the whole unit should stop running. Make sure your setting is not on DRY.

Well then, mine probably does have the automatic shut off too. I don't think I have ever left it for 30 minutes and my brush didn't come with any written instructions or a manual. I do wish Conair had more info on the product and how to use it.

We had the heater on for hours and never had any problems with it so far. The only time it shuts off is if we move it. You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them what the problem is. They have a live chat on their website - http://firesense.com/

I have had no problem, but I only run it for a few hours on low when i am in the room. It is a small room..I'm not sure that is a good idea, though.

I does automatically shut off. After owning it a couple of months, I find the "computer disk" noise it makes before shutting off wakes me up. It runs about 6 hours but I find it too noisy when turned on and just before it shuts off.

Dear Dan, I hope i have caught you in time since my answer. I work out of town and just got home and checked my heater again and did not even realize it does have an automatic shut off. You can run it for 1 hr and 4 hrs and something in between. Sorry for the incorrect information.
