Purchasing for independent elderly. How does the auto shut-off work?

I just called Zojirushi's customer support line and they said the ad is wrong and it does not have an auto shut-off feature. I was buying for the same reason you mentioned.

I've never found the auto-shut off to be a problem. Mine has never shut off automatically, and I believe that is a safety feature.

It doesn't have automatic shut off. Will stay on until you turn it off or runs out of battery life. If you use it for alarm purposes, yoy may need ro keep ir plugged in to power supply.

I have not found an auto turnoff one....I sure would like it though....I forget to turn all of mine off very frequently. No Big problem if just 8 or so hours but guess it could be if left on for days.

You control the temperature and you also control how long you want it to stay on. Once the time that you have chosen has expired, it will then turn itself off.

I don't think it has an auto shut of. Mine does not sit off either, so I put a thermostat on the outlet.

As far as I know (and I have the one for cats, not dogs) there is no automatic shut-off.

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

Out of habit, I turn off the power. I have not tried to determine if it has an automatic time-out feature. I suspect that it doesn't.

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

It has a switch to turn on and it shuts off automatically. It is very convenient.

the instructions included on the back of the item states it wii auto shut off at 104 if left there for more than 1 hr. i would say u can go below that if yor using the item. hope this helps.

That's totally dependant on how much power your pulling from the battery. If you're using a 600 watt power supply and running a monitor and external souund system you'll probably get about a minute or two. If you connect the ups to your computer with the supplied usb cable it can start the shut down automatically. Also whenever you connect the ups to your computer it'll tell how much power you're using and how much on battery run time you'd have. Hopefully this will help your decision process.

the ones I purchased a few years ago did not have auto shut off. That is why I bought them after lots of research.

It does not have an automatic shutoff. There is no switch. If it is plugged in, it is on.

I do not think it has auto shut off. It mentions nothing of it on the box or in the instructions.
