Auto-shut off? Can it shut down it self (the heating element part) when left unattended?

You are supposed to turn it off after each use. I have however forgotten to turn mine off right away and it did not turn off on its own. It got very hot to touch, so I am now very careful to turn it off after each use. 2 days ago by Danielle Scott

No auto shut-off. It has a buzzer when it's done and you just flip the power switch off so it's NOT a start and do something else cooker. I've not had much luck with those anyway since these egg cookers mostly all cook with steam and even if the thing shuts off automatically there's still residual steam so you can very easily overcook in a short period of time.Results are better just having a "done" buzzer and doing the final touch yourself I think.

No, I didn't want auto shut-off, but it is available at Amazon. I saw it when I got mine.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

It may have an auto-off but the button is for on or warm, it goes into warm when done. We unplug it.

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.

No. It does not hav automatic switch off. It doesn't get over heated so fast, depends on load and time

I've never found the auto-shut off to be a problem. Mine has never shut off automatically, and I believe that is a safety feature.

Not exactly. The controls are manual. There are three power options. One is no heat with the fire look only. Then there's a low heat setting and a high heat setting. The unit claims if it overheats, it will shut off automatically. However, you can't set a timer or anything. I have never had it shut off and I run mine all the time, though I have never run it on high.

Haven't used it yet, but it is advertised as a "stay on" unit, no auto-off. Hope this helps

No, there is no safety feature with automatic shut off on this one, so don't burn yourself ;-)

No, however it will auto shut off when the unit overheats from not being in the upright position. If the unit is face or back down, it will overheat causing the unit to auto shut off.

As far as I know, there is no automate shutoff. It stays on until you turn it off. We love ours and have two, one for home and one for trips.

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

No there is no automatic shut off. The best you can do is set the timer so that you can turn it off when it reaches temperature. It does heat up pretty quickly though.

This does not have an auto shut off feature. It is an automatically maintained burner. I have used it a few times and you do have to watch it like a regular stove burner. The burner is a good one and it heats up as expected depending on the temperture you select.
