Does it turn off if it tips over?

Mine has never tipped over on it's own. However, I just tipped it over to check and it shut off. It is very sturdy with the base being the largest section of it.

The owner's manual for the Vornado AVH2 says the unit is equipped with "Tip-Over Protection". If tipped over the power to the heating element and fan motor is reduced to prevent overheating. It does not shut off.

It is supposed to. Mine has never tipped over as it's very sturdy, even with dogs around it.

Yes. It has a tip-over, air blockage, fan-not-turning feature that shuts it off. I know the tip over works on mine.

It does not shut off, but the box states power is reduced. The graphic they used on Amazon is wrong. Vornado AVH2 purchased 1/2016. My guess is they are just using their same airblow blocked/overheating technology for tip over.

The one we recently bought does not, as we just found out this morning. This company seems to have an issue with conflicting documentation describing the unit's operational features. I am sending this one back.

Actually. I checked and it does not. I have another model that does, but this one doesnt

I really can't say. Because others here were using it in their boats, I decided to use it in my boat. I like the fact that it won't tip over but those that do are supposed to turn off. I like the heater and would buy another one but I don't know if it's safer than another one or not.

Yes, if it gets knocked over or isn't on a flat surface it has a thing on the bottom that shuts it off.

It doesn't tip over at all. There's a clear plastic base that supports it. You probably can't see it very well in this pic.

I've not had any problem with it tipping. It's working better than I expected it to.

From experience, I can tell you that when the bike tips over, the trailer stays upright. There is a sort of spring as part of the connector that allows for some bending and twisting.

Yes it automatically shuts off if knocked over and then when stood right side up will continue to work after turning back on. I personally have seen this happen a good four times already. Sadly it sits in a high traffic area and I have a large puppy lol

if it gets tipped to the side even a little it will go off and stay off until you turn it completely off and then back on.

No, it does not. My great grand children have had theirs for several months now. They have used it by going around at top speed (to the point of abuse) and it does not even come close to tipping over. We have had it both on the lawn and the concrete driveway with no problem. The biggest concern is keeping non-riders out of the way when it is in use.

It does tip over easy if it is empty with the lid open, but, it doesn't hinder performance. We keep ours on the counter by the sink.

Not really, just a tiny bit. Like if you were to just stretch and go back it's got a little tilt. I haven't tried testing it because I don't want to fall on my ass or break it lmao!

the heater does not have "tip-over sensor". I just had my wife to check it, and it never turned off no matter how she turned it over and over.

No. It stays in whichever mode it was in last. I've had ours installed for a couple of months now. Really like it. Seems very sturdy.

No it doesn't. I haven't had any problems with it tipping over or anything. But I have 3 yr old twins so they're pretty light, but they're dad & I play on it also& still no issues.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

Not sure about automatic shut off but if it tips over it will cut off on its on as a safety procedure

It has the ability to tilt up, but it is somewhat unstable when you do this. It's better just to let it hang down.
