Will this iron automatically shut off, or can it be on all day? Thanks!!!

Nope. It's a manual switch. However I leave mine one for hours during the day. As long as it is sitting on a safe surface it's fine on. I have had it auto shut off once or twice because it got too hot but that was before I found the right heat setting. It gets REALLY hot so don't turn it up all the way and leave it. It works great for 90% of fabrics at a medium heat level.

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 does not shut off automatically-it can be on all day. I would NOT recommend a gravity feed iron. I had a nightmare of a time with it spitting brown stuff all over the fabric every time I used it. I tried everything and now have given up. I am now using the professional model Rowenta.

No. As to the previous answer, I have never had it spit rust, but have paid high dollars for Rowenta irons to have them last less than a year. I love my gravity feed iron.

It does not shut off automatically. You can leave it on all day. I have mine plugged into an outlet strip that also has a light plugged into it. If the light is on, I know the iron is on. That way I can't accidentally leave it on overnight.

It stays on for about 2 hours before shutting off. It does not spit water and the light on the handle is lit up when iron is on. In fact, you have to push that button to restart the iron. I have been very pleased with this purchase.

When it is on, the iron is heated. It does not overheat to my knowledge or experience.

Yes, and it's because the iron automatically shuts off if not used for some minutes and it blinks when pauses.

Yes. This compact iron gets just as hot as a regular size iron. There is no automatic off on this iron. So to be safe I always unplug it when I am done.

No, it does not have a auto shut off. It's still a great iron for traveling. Hope this helps!

There is no automatic shut off, just on and off switch. So, as long as you have it on...yes.

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.

It is not a problem for me, I've had other irons that operate the same way. It does go off by itself in a short while if not used. If uncomfortable with this you can unplug the iron. I love this iron, and I do a lot of ironing.

If it shuts off automatically it can still turn on if moved or tipped over. You dont need to shut it off all the way in between uses if you dont want to just remember if the cat or kid knocks it over it will turn on. When you shut it off manually it stays off regardless of what you do to it. I was happy to read in the manual that it doesnt recommend that it have to be unplugged after use. My first auto iron (16yrs ago) required to be unplugged. I shut mine off manually because 8 min on high can really warm up a room quick. My studio gets hot enough with just the computer on I dont need the iron to add to the heat. If it shuts off automatically it can still turn on if moved or tipped over.

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.

No this iron will continue to be hot until you unplug it. Hope this helps &#9786;

The iron CAN be turned off completely by using the temperature setting knob. You can twirl it all the way to off. It also has "auto-off" if you let it sit without using it for awhile. As for the steam usage, it starts, as do most irons, at a low "wool" setting. The internal heater on this Panasonic, (and all the other irons I've seen,) do not have dual components that are cool enough to iron silk or acrylics, yet hot enough to produce steam. There's always the "spray" function for dampening those low temperature items, though. We love this iron!

There is no on-off button on mine. You have to unplug the iron when you want it off, and that is somewhat inconvenient.

I have owned several and don't think it has automatic shut off...but remains the best for the money I have ever owned...only problem is Pouring Spout handles...have broken two...and replacements are not available.

Yes, it will shut off, but I don't recommend this iron. Please check the reviews. I am not the only person who has had problems with this iron leaking water when it gets hot. There is a serious design flaw with the Rowenta irons. I really loved the iron before it developed a water leak.

No you can leave it on all day I just turn mine off to conserve a minor amount of electricity.
