Can you close the top when not in use?

no, the top just has holes like a salt shaker. I was not able to take the lid off to put anything inside so I returned them as unusable.

The top is not removable. I usually unplug the unit, then open it using the white flap and wait until the water has cooled off sufficiently, then just pour it off into the sink. Hope that helps :)

just leave the top open until the bottom is almost finished, or delay closing it for a few minutes.

No. It has a locking bar that keeps it open. You must press the bar to close.

Yes, the top comes off easily. You can open the top or you can press down on a little part in the back hinge-area and take the entire lid off fairly easily.

Hi Susan,Yes, you can leave both ends open, and it also gives you the option of keeping the closed part on. The allen key tightens it down, and you're in business.

Not currently but you can configure an alert to tell you the door is still up after a period of time, then you can close from the app if needed. Sounds like a great feature request though! Sounds easy enough.

No, we keep ours closed all the time. You can use it with the window open but you don't do anything different to use it with the window closed.

Yes, you can disconnect the top from the bottom very easily. In fact, the top can be configured as ia standalone bookstand in its own right. The top portion is most useful if you are using several reference books at the same time.

You can close the seat and leave the lid open, or close both together. Both pieces are slow-closing and don't have to be opened or closed together.

Yes, it does shut off when the top off container is empty. The unit will also beep loudly when this happens.

Not sure what you mean by "can you close it". But if you mean does it close to keep the elements out or something of that nature, the answer is no.

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

No, the top is painted and stains very easily. I would keep it covered while in use as it is difficult to clean.

Yes. Push slider on button towards top and it locks. You can leave it as long as you like. Works great.

No. You have to shut it off. But it's a great mouse! It's small and very comfortable to use.

I usually leave mine opened, but you can certainly close it down. It takes up so little room when it is folded! We can use the riding mower under it even when it is open, though.
