There is no auto shutoff, which I found out the hard way.  Besides that the unit worked for one day it has no kind of water resistance,  left in my shop overnight with gets humid and I'm assuming the humidity fried it

No on off switch, auto sleeps ever 30 seconds, completely worthless.  Very cheap plastic for the battery holder...  This was a huge disappointment.

The auto on/off feature did not work. It was the sole reason we bought it so we returned it

I really enjoy the hard boiled eggs made from this cooker, but there is no indication that it's finished cooking.  It makes no sound and doesn't turn off  by itself - not what I expected for "automatic".

I like it as far as how hot it gets, but will return it because of the auto-off feature.

I need an iron for stitchery projects.  I tested this one for less than 10 minutes and noticed immediately that the sliding temperature selector does not go high enough to select linen without using both thumbs and more pressure than the other settings need.  It did get hot enough for ironing the cotton fabric.

However, there is still the problem of the auto shut off feature.  It is very inadequately described on the Amazon web page.  I did not want one that shut off after a few seconds when the iron is in the ironing (flat) position.  I used to iron to make a little extra money.  When I had family at home, sometimes ironing would take a few hours.  (Admittedly, that was 'back in the day' when ironing was customary.)  Those activities can't be efficiently and calmly done when you have to restart the iron frequently.  What if you are ironing long or wide items and need more than a few seconds?  What if an embroidery transfer needs more time?  What if you make quilts and need to go back and forth from sewing to ironing?  My last iron shut off after a few seconds and made ironing a misery, so I threw it away.

The instructions for this iron do not fully describe the auto-off function so I am not sure if it turns off after 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or some other length of time when it is in the flat position; however, the included instructions say "Timed auto-off will automatically turn unit off after 30 minutes."  That takes care of the questions I just asked:  It doesn't matter how long you *need* to iron or whether you move the iron from flat to upright.  You are only allowed 30 minutes.  The Sunbeam webpage description and a chat with a nice woman at Sunbeam confirm that.  Having to regularly turn the iron back on is not acceptable.

The instructions go on to say "3-way auto-off (15 min in heeled position)."  And that is all.

Basically, the instructions say that 1) the iron will shut off regardless of activity in 30 minutes, 2) it will shut off in 15 minutes when left in the upright position, and 3) will shut off at some point for some undefined reason.

I will continue to research irons and will find one without the auto-off feature.

The only thing I don't like is the automatic shut off feature, which is probably listed in the description. Either way I use it for my son and when he wakes up to use the bathroom its off and freaks him out but when its on I love it.

It's a coffee pot but no auto shutoff which I think is important.

Yes it has auto shut off in 8 minutes but it is not that bad at all. Because at least it is not making some stupid warning noises that makes you irritated. It seems really durable. I love it.

I bought this because of its high ratings and recommendation from Consumer Reports. The humidifier is easy to set up and the tank easy to fill. I think it's working somewhat; I have it in a small bedroom but, even on the high setting, it has never reached higher than 27% humidity. Before buying, I read many reviews but did not see the ones that mentioned no automatic shut-off. For me, that's a real pain--and would have been a deal-breaker. I likely wouldn't buy this product again. On the other hand, I've tried many others and I don't think there's really anything better on the market. . . . why not???

Keeps turning itself off.  Right out of the box this unit mounted easily and looked great. Nice settings. However, it turns itself off. I thought it was a battery issue. Nope. New batteries on 3 different occasions (with the thought that I had used old batteries.)

I wont' be purchasing this again.

This is a decent iron however you should be aware it doesn't have auto-shutoff.  I failed to pay attention to this detail as I (incorrectly) assumed all irons had this nowadays.

The case is fine with the exception that there is no auto sleep/wake alarm!

I bought this for cooking brown rice. Every time I cook brown rice it never shuts off automatically in time. I must keep checking and shut it off manually or it will burn the rice dry. It is supposed to shut off automatically. I presumed it was an altitude issue, since I live in Denver, although there are no high altitude instructions in the manual. When I finally decided to start working the problem, my year warranty had expired. Nevertheless I contacted Sanyo customer support and I did get one (and only one) response: "Try adding just a little more water." After several more inquiries with no response, I have given up on Sanyo customer support. In summary, this device cooks brown rice every bit as good as my sauce pan.

There is no way to bypass the auto shut off and I like to keep my coffee hot a lot longer than 2 hours!

Works great, except it does NOT auto turn off as I read it does when it is disconnected.  I believe I read another review that had the same issue.  If you do not turn it off, your shower the very next day will be without tunes.  I recharged it, and now turn it on and off when and I'm done and the charge has lasted for weeks.

This egg cooker is so compact which I love and it makes perfect hard boiled eggs that are so easy to peel.
However it doesn't shut off automatically as the manual states. Instead the awful sounding alarm just keeps going which is disturbing. I had to return it because I think auto shut off is a crucial function for an egg cooker.

information included with product is a little out of date. It says there is no On/Off function, but there is.
