Does the heater stop if it falls over?

Just tried laying it over on it's side and no it did not stop. However, the heater seems very stable. It works really well for me and has some really great features. Happy Shopping!

I did a test with my Lasko full circle heater layed it on its side and it still ran. I even let it fall about one inch from the floor and it did not stop running, I let it stay there about a minute. So as far as my heater goes it did not stop running. Other then that I really like it. I hope this helps you out. Have fun !!!

I believe the product description on Amazon is incorrect, as it says there is a tip over cutoff switch, but the online product manual on the manufacturer's website does not mention any such switch.

It suppose to according to the owner manual. It has never fell over, so I don't know sure.

I don't know if it will shut off if it falls over. I don't see any mention of that in the manual-here's the link:http://www.laskoproducts.com/full-circle-warmth-ceramic-heater-with-remote-control-model-6462/I will say we're very happy with the unit. It's quiet, puts out good heat for its size, and the fact that you can direct the heat to one direction up to 360 degrees is a very nice feature. It seems quite stable, too.Hope this helps.

Not that I am aware of, though if you mount it on a wall, or use the legs sold by the manufacturer, it wold be hard to kick it over.Given the low catalytic temperatures, these units are FAR safer than anything like a "Buddy" heater, BTW. I have a Wave 3 and 6, and a Portable and Big Buddy, so I know of what I speak.

the heater does not have "tip-over sensor". I just had my wife to check it, and it never turned off no matter how she turned it over and over.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

Yes. It has a safety button that senses if it gets turned over. The heater itself turns on intermittently. I can't tell if it has a thermostat or if it just turns on longer or shorter depending on the heat setting you give it. Happy to answer anything else.

If the overhang is not made of vinyl. I would have at least 3 feet from the top of the heater to any overhead item such as a tree, ceiling or overhang

Yes. I appreciate the built-in safety regulator, but this model turns off when it's not overheating at all -- and, even if it were, the coils should shut down, not the fan. Without the fan to dissipate heat, it takes even longer for the heater to come back on. Very disappointing.

Mine too. There is an electrical connection behind the control panel that overheats and starts to burn the wire insulation when the heater is on high. It is connected to the pendulum switch that would power-off the unit if it tipped over. I contacted Kaz (the actual mfgr) but they weren't interested in fixing or replacing the heater.

Should stop. Mine does. Only thing I don't like is no height adjustment and vibration

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.

Who knows. This could have been a wonderful heater, but it was made VERY CHEAPLY. I would not recommend anyone buying this heater. It is a Piece of Crap!

yes and no. NO because it will not cut off after running a while. It will just keep running until you turn it off. If the heater is knocked over though it will shut off. It has a pressure button that will engage the heater and allow it to run.

The owner's manual for the Vornado AVH2 says the unit is equipped with "Tip-Over Protection". If tipped over the power to the heating element and fan motor is reduced to prevent overheating. It does not shut off.

There is a timer on the heater. Once your room reach the desired temperature it will automatically stop and come back on once the temperature drops below your desired temperature.

Yes, the pilot stays lit while the heater is on. If the pilot light goes out the unit will turn off.

It has a little sensor at the bottom so if the Heater is not on a flat surface it will cut off.

No. As previously stated the only safety feature is if it is tilted. There is a large ball bearing in the switch that moves and shuts the unit off. nice heater but the on/off/tilt feature is really poorly made. I have had two replacements and problem keeps coming back.
