It says "manually off" does this automatically switch off and not have to wait until you pull the wall plug out to stop the alarm from sounding?

No, I'm almost certain that you have to pull the plug to turn-off the cooker.

I pull the plug when the alarm goes off because every second longer the eggs cook they will get harder unless you want them hard boiled.

I do not think it will automatically shut off. The sound is too high pitched to let it go for very long. I immediately unplug it when the alarm goes off. Hope that helps.

It will stop buzzing after a while but will not turn itself off. You must unplug it to turn it off.

No. It turns on when plugged in and alerts you when it's completed. The alert is pretty hard to miss. I am glad it does not rely on an automatic shutoff because you really need to remove the cover to stop the cooking process and avoid overcooked eggs.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

It turn off immediately. There is no delay timer in the unit. If you need that you could perhaps get a delay timer switch instead of the normal wall on/off switch.

No. You have to turn the alarm off then turn it back on again after the time has past.

I let the alarm go for 20 seconds when I turned it off manually. One nice thing about this timer is that it goes to zero and then starts timing UPto tell you how long overtime you are.

I have been fortunate enough not to have the surge protector do it's intended job. I just looked at the unit and noticed that it does not have a reset, test like a ground fault circuit interrupter. I have a hunch that if the alarm is triggered un-plugging and re-plugging the unit will reset it. The device is cheap enough to protect your expensive appliances, I would have no problem buying another one if there was a problem with the actual device.Hope this helps.JerryO

Yes it turns off it just goes off for a second like a door bell, when we open our door. It has a off button to when you don't want it on.

There is no alarm or anything like that, but it does shut off. If you are near, you can hear it click off. Hope this helps

Yes, it beeps and a few seconds later the alarm goes off. Gives you time to turn it off or the intruder time to not be sure what exactly set off the alarm.

Does not work with an on or off switch. It has a 2 pronged extension that fits between the door and door frame. When it is set the prongs are together, but when door is opened the prongs separate and the alarm goes off. To set you pull the prongs out of main unit and place in between door and door frame and it is set. Sounds like a legitimate alarm and somewhat loud. I am happy with the product.

There is an internal battery that allows the alarm to operate for some time. The siren in the base unit will sound, but not sirens plugged into wall sockets. I have mine plugged into a UPS, and know it will operate at least 24 hours. It worked fine for me during the last power outage.

It is a plug-in with a battery back-up. So it keeps your settings if you have to unplug. It is working well for us. It has an alarm that can be set to ring for a duration of 2 min. or 30 min. We have it set to go off twice a day.

You can also shut the alarm manually. Since the alarm sounds in a different area (not the garage itself) it can be quite annoying for those around the alarm sound if the garage door is left open on purpose for an extended period of time. If my husband is doing something in the garage and needs the door open i.e. to get extra light in, I just press the button on the back of the receptor which is in my home office and then I only rely on the visual indicator (green or red light) to know when he has closed the garage door.

There is a little screw type pin that you pull out in an emergency. You just jerk it & it alarms. You just put the pin in back in the hole & turn it a few times to turn it off. It serves the purpose.

I have an alarm system; someone broke into my house after midnight when I was out of town. My neighbors didn't even hear the alarm from the security system. Can this unit be attached to my existing system and it so, will it have to be manually turned off?

No. It starts blinking, but doesn't turn off itself. U hv to pull the plug to turn it off
