does it shut off automatically when it runs out of water, or do you fill it and that the timer insure proper shutoff?

Yes, it will shut off automatically when it runs out of water, even with power connected.

NO, the auto shut off won't work unless in the up/floating position. To get the water level lower, I tied the float into an up position and then watched until it started sucking air.

I don't have that problem. Mine stays on until the water runs out, which is usually 3+ hours.

No, there is no timer. It simply turns off when it runs out of water, no noises or flashing, etc. Even with the light on, it just turns off :)

This turns itself off when the water runs out so it doesn't run the heating element when there is no water to evaporate. This is a good thing. Nothing to be worried about. I find that a full tank of water lasts one whole night on the high setting (avg. 8 to 9 hrs.) and on the low setting will use only about 2/3 of the tank. You might try the low setting if it really bothers you that it turns itself off. Hope this helps!

You manually set this timer each time you use it. I have this connected to the fill line for my pool. This lets me run the water for a specific amount of time without worrying about forgetting to shut it off.

It shuts off when it need emptying, however I don't know if it shuts off when reaching the desired humidity level. Ours is in the basement and under house and has never reached that point.

there is not an automatic shut off. You do have the option of turning it on so that the machine runs for 1 minute and is off for 1 minute, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure of how long the on/off time is, but it's quite sshort. There is a clear raised line inside the water reservoir for the max fill line. Sort of reminds me of the clear raised lines on the clear caps of liquid laundry detergent. I either take it in the bathroom to fill where there is good light, or I only fill it half full. If it is empty, it will not run.

Yes, it shuts off automatically when the water in the reservoir is gone. The water is hot, brews excellent coffee, and usually I use a mug, approx. 8-12 oz. Less water is possible.

It shuts off automatically, but not based on collection jug level. It has a float switch inside that turns it off when inside water level gets low. If jug is emptied before each run, it works great. If jug was partially full before a run it would overflow.

I fill mine to the water level or just a tad higher, i.e. like 1/4" or less. And it runs I would say between 6 to 7 hrs and then shuts down; after it shuts down it cools down to room temp...or cold. So mine does shut off by itself when the water runs low.

It stays on until you turn it off....but be careful not to let the water run out.

Cannot use this without the timer. It does shut itself off when it runs out of water, but not sure how long it would run after it detects that.

No, no auto shutoff. You could pehaps put a timer on the water-supply hose.

No it does not, you can set it so the light stays on or switches color or no light but you can not set the lenght of time it stays on, but it does shut itself off when it runs out of water.

It has graduations on the water canister that tell you how much time that water will last. So you can set the automatic shut off appropriately. I hope that helps. I'm not sure if it would turn off if the water was gone.

It has a humidity sensor that shuts if off when it reaches a level you set. I don't think it cuts off if out of water but it has a huge capacity probably a couple gallons. That should give you time to remember to fill it. I've had it go three days. I've never run it THAT low so I don't know about the shut off part or if it would mess it up.
