Will this heater shut off if it tips over? I'm considering this for the nursery.

No, but it is small and compact, unlikely to tip over. Move important is - NEVER USE HIGH HEAT. Use low or medium. High will trip a breaker or burn a hole in the wall.

Every heater of this type is now required to turn off automatically if it's tipped over. It is a built in safety mechanism.

No it will not. Had to try it myself to see. Sorry. My units are several years old. They give off a lot of heat though & for the money have been good heaters. I own 2 of them.

It has a little sensor at the bottom so if the Heater is not on a flat surface it will cut off.

Two prongs you can set for low or high heat it can be set to rotate or not. I believe it will shut off if tiped over have not tried tipping it over. It is very bright and can light up a room. We use it to keep our plants from freezing. I would not purchase this heater again because it puts out so much light.

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

No, it does not shut off when tipped over; howeverThe ceramic screen does not get hot so there is doesn't appear to be a way for it to catch a carpet, curtain, blanket or other item on fire. Nonetheless, I would use it in an open area and avoid knocking it over to be on the safe side. I had the same question prior to purchase.

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.

There is a mechanism within the the system that causes it to turn off when the heater is tipped over or off its base. However, that is all for nothing because the thing stopped working after 4 months. Do not buy this machine. Find a good Honeywell.

Yes it should turn off unless it is set to continuous run. I run mine all the time, over a year now, the fan run even when it runs a defrost cycle.Overall I am happy with the unit, could use a bigger one but this works fine in my 4foot crawl space.

I don't know if it will shut off if it falls over. I don't see any mention of that in the manual-here's the link:http://www.laskoproducts.com/full-circle-warmth-ceramic-heater-with-remote-control-model-6462/I will say we're very happy with the unit. It's quiet, puts out good heat for its size, and the fact that you can direct the heat to one direction up to 360 degrees is a very nice feature. It seems quite stable, too.Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a button on the bottom that is depressed when the unit is sitting upright. If tipped over or lifted up, it will shut off.

Once it reaches the desired temp it will shut off, it also will shut off if it is over heating.

I only used it 30 minutes at a time - to heat small bathroom prior to showering. Thus, it never overheated resulting in shut off. Literally tipping over.....seems to me that would have to be result of human error.

I have my little heater since 2011. I have it slightly elevated off the floor. Bought one of those decorative pedestals from Ballard Designs. No problem elevated. As long as the entire unit is sitting on a flat surface.

It depends on how you wire it. I have mine attached to a wall mounted on off switch. If it is hard wired without a intervening switch it will restart automatically and will suto shut off based on the thermostat. Because it needs to be mountef 6 plus feet from the floor I mounted mine off the ceiling. I did not want to use ladder to adjust thermostat so I put in on off switch.

Yes it does turn off if it's tipped over. It won't even turn on unless it's on a flat surface.

No it just needs to be on a somewhat level surface or on the ground. It has auto shut off if it tips over or gets bumped for fire saftey.

It does automatically shut off when tipped over. We have a 2yr old and my wife checked it.
