I need a "safety" heater that I can set for 3 or 4 hours and then have it automatically shut off. Does this heater provide this?

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.

Not sure about automatic shut off but if it tips over it will cut off on its on as a safety procedure

This heater did not last more than 10 minutes in our home. It kept shuting itself off. It was packed up and returned immediately.

My son gave me one of these that he wasn't using, and I just set it up. Jon Shops is correct. When the heat part shuts off, so does the fan. This is a heater only; if you want something to cool the room, this is not it.

It has an automatic shut off, though it does not take 4 hours for it to shut off. I believe mine shuts off after 2 hours.

The heater can stay on for 24 hours however I do not run mine for more than 12hours at a time

Ours does not have an automatic shut off. We shut it off on the heater and then shut off the tank.

don't buy it if you need it for anything serious. It has enough wattage but the auto-shut-off temperature was set too low so it does shut off every 1-2 minutes if turned to max heat.

No, it shuts off automatically after two hours, then you have to push the on button to off and then back on for it to start heating again. A safety feature as it gets pretty hot on the high setting.

I don't know. I turn my heater off at night. It heats my house well when I turn it on in the mornings. I love it!

No, that's the good feature about this heating pad. Most pads shut off in 2 hours. It just have an on and off switch but it's a comfortable warm setting.

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/

Yes it does. You have the option of setting it to go to 2 hour auto shut off or setting it for continuous heat where it does not shut off. There is a heat setting for each option that goes up to level 6.

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

Unfortunately, no. This would be a great little heater except for the cost of running it. I'm afraid to use it since it cost me over $100 extra in electricity and I only used it about three hours a day for a week.

This unit does not do that, but you can purchase a timer in any hardware store, home improvement store or probably here on Amazon. They are fairly inexpensive. Just plug your heater into the timer and the timer into the electrical outlet, and you can control both when it turns on and when it turns off.

If you're still looking, the Camp Chef Triton 10L doesn't have an automatic shutoff. I believe it's the only portable heater that doesn't.

No. My unit works well. We typically use it for 3 to 5 hours at a time to heat up our basement TV area.

Yes, there is a Time setting, It would shut off automatically though. Awesome heat
