Does this humidifiyer have a auto shutoff feature if it runs out of water, or will it continue to run and mess it up?

I think it does have auto shut off. I never let my run out of water. I fill it as soon as it is low (about 2-3 inches of water). Hope this helps.

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.

No, I don't believe so. Just the other morning I forgot to turn it off after I awoke, and it kept running, even tho' out of water. But it doesn't seem to have had any negative effect. It's still working fine.

It does not have an automatic shut off. The fan will continue to run even when dry.

Yes it has an auto shut off feature; I never had a problem with this the last two years I've used it.

I cannot find the instruction manual.. but I would say probably not because the water was near empty and it didn't shut off. We fill up the container daily....Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

I run mine on the intermittent setting (it runs for 6 hours)... approximately half the water is gone. I always reflll it before starting it again, so not sure exactly. Based on what I've observed, maybe 12 hours? It automatically shuts off after 6, or 3 (if on constant).

I don't think there is a shutoff but it doesn't seem to burn it out. Mine has run out of water several times with no problems.

It only shuts off if the water level gets to low. I use the remote to turn it on and off and to pick a different color. I love mine!!

The humidifier would run constantly if solonied valve was energized always , might get too much water in system , I wired into fan only gets water when fan is energized

It does automatically turn off when the water level gets low. Even when full, ours sometimes won't turn on until I wipe the little round styrofoam-like piece in the base. I hope that helps.

No, it does not have an auto shut off, but being the traveler I am, I have never had to worry about the water running too low. I have only one cat but I have been on vacation for two weeks at a time (with a housesitter coming in daily ONLY to feed and play with my kitty) only to come back with an adequate supply of water. The water reservoir is the biggest on the market, that I know of, and is definitely worth the purchase. I hope that helps answer your question.

I've had this unit for two days and the compressor turns on and off but the fan runs non-stop, despite being at the selected humidity level. The instruction manual says, "When the setting humidity is reached, the unit will shut off automatically. For some models, the fan motor will continue operating."

You only need to run the fan for the length of time needed to remove the humidity in the area. Once that level is established, there is an automatic shutoff. It is pretty quiet.

Hi Pam, Deneve here. Yes, our diffuser will automatically shut off when out of water (only a few drops' worth of water remaining). If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

The manual doesn't say anything about the machine "turning off," it merely says "Red light indicates that water bottle needs to be refilled." But, Crane humidifier representatives say that their animal-shaped humidifiers turn "off" when they run out of water, even though the red light is still on. So, I think it's reasonable to expect that other manufacturers have likewise designed their humidifiers so the mechanism stops running when the water supply runs out. My Miso humidifier often stays empty-but-on for a while before I get around to turning it off and it's still operating fine. Once the red light switches on it's as quiet as as when it's all the way off. Just make sure you turn it off and empty it all the way out if you're not actively using it for a while.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

There are 3 settings - high, low and off. It will automatically turn off if it runs out of water. However, there is no timer as such. Thanks.

It doesn't actually turn-off but, when it runs out of water, it just sort of goes into a static mode.

The only time the unit turns off is when the bucket is full of water. It does restart on it's own after a power outage.

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

No it doesn't have an auto shut off, it flashes red when it is low. As for the color I believe the instructions tell you how to do so, but I gave up, since mine liked to flash only one color red. By the way it is just a mini humidifier, that requires constant water because the container is quite small and requires to be filled every 8 hours.
