The description of this iron indicates it has auto-shutoff. After how many minutes does it shut-off? Has this been a problem for sewers and quilters?

amazon sent me your question but i do not have this model of iron. my iron is a less costly model and it has no automatic shut off. if you still need the answer i suggest looking on google for the Reliable phone number in Canada and they will answer any question. i did talk to them once about a repair problem.

If the description claims auto-shut off, it's inaccurate . . .this iron does not auto shutoff unless the water tank run dries . . .in which case, it shuts off to avoid ruining the unit.

No, it does not have auto shutoff. The power cord is really long - about 9 foot. Much longer than I've seen with other flat irons. And it swivels at the base, so it doesn't get twisted up or caught on things.

Yes, you can manually shut off the iron. Just slide the dial at the top to the off position.

I have this iron, when I have it on, it will stay on as long as I need it. It has never shut off while I was using it. Hope this helps.

It has 3 way shut-off. If the iron is left unattended on its soleplate (flat), it turns off after 30 seconds. If it is left unattended on the heel (vertical), it turns off after 8 minutes. To turn back on, just begin to iron again.

To my knowledge, neither the iron nor the hot air nozzle have autmatic shutoff. It's actually a good thing that it doesn't, if you really think about it. The absence of this feature should force the electronics technician to follow proper startup and shutdown procedures when working with high-heat producing tools. If you plan to be away from the tool for an extended period of time, shut it off. If you are looking for a soldering station with an automatic shutoff feature, you may have to spend a bit more cash. Bottom line: This station has allowed me to polish up on my NASA certified microminiature skills. I love it! Don't let the absence of an automatic shutoff feature prevent you from purchasing a quality product at an incredibly competitive price.

I don't recall. I just know it didn't get hot enough to suit me and I didn't like it kept turning off. I'm not a quilter, and when pressing a garment I want the iron on and HOT. I returned it.

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off" Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

Nope I left it on or a while after 50 minutes it was still on I unplugged it. That's what u have to do so u can be sure n remember u turned it off UNPLUG IT I personally think it should shut off after ten minutes of not using it. Now there where several of this type n color flat iron for different prices on amazon so I don't know if the others have automatic shut off they all looked the same to me

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.

No, it is a professional quality curling iron. They never have an auto-shutoff because if it turned off how could your stylist curl your hair at a moments notice. However it does curl hair very easily and the curls are slick and shiny and hold all day. I leave mine in the on position and plug it in or unplug it when I use it. I have had mine for some time now and love it very much. Plus the pink is really beautiful.

I have the same problem. The iron shuts off every ten minutes and then stops heating. Then, water starts leaking from the steam holes . I unplugged and replugged the iron cord so the heating cycle would start again. This is very excruciating. I bought a cheaper iron that does not have an auto shut off feature,

No this iron will continue to be hot until you unplug it. Hope this helps ☺

The automatic shut-off refers to the heat in the iron itself but has nothing to do with the water in the tank that has a separate control. The iron might cool off but the steam will be ready to be used use The pressure of the steam is controllable also.

I can't tell you if this iron is better...but I LOVE IT....I use it for sewing and quilting and am very very happy :) it does use a lot of water...but I don't mind refilling it when needed. one problem.. can hit steam button and turn it off because of its location...I'm now aware of this and careful not to hold iron near the button....

If you leave the iron face down on the ironing board it will turn off if not used within a short period of time to prevent fires. If placed upright it will not turn off for a longer period of time. I had the iron upright while I placed pleats of a blouse flat and it didn't turn off. I like the turn off feature. If you get a phone call the iron will turn off and you won't burn your house down.

Followup to my last respond. if you left the iron plugged in, it will automatically shut off. however the the will constantly blinks until either you upon it or lay it flat, which will automatically turn it back on .
