The description from Amazon says it has an automatic shut off yet the answers say it does not. Also, what size egg does it poach? Med or Lge?

I'm not sure whether it shuts off automatically or not, however it's a moot point for me because the buzzer is so loud you have to shut that off anyway which also turns off the unit. And depending on how 'large' your large eggs are, you may not be able to fit 7 eggs in there (which is the max limit) but it really depends on the shape of the egg as well ... the 'fatter' and rounder an egg is, the less you'll be able to fit in, but the longer and slimmer the egg is, the more you'll be able to fit in. You also have to remember to adjust your water level for large or extra large eggs to cook longer, depending on how runny you like them.

It shuts off when the water is all boiled out. You can use any size of eggs however you may want to make a fine adjustment on the amount of water based on different egg sizes. I live over 6000 ft above sea level so had to make water adjustments for that also as water boils much quicker here. This does work better for me than some higher priced ones due to the altitude

how many eggs can be poached in the little white bowl. I want to be able to make 2 and make them into an omelette if I wish. I've seen infomercials where an egg cooker has the boiler,a 2 section egg poacher and the a little white bowl which serves as the omelette bowl. The Dash/Go is like that but it isn't prime elgable. What is the egg capacity of the white bowl. I want room to put some veggies and cheese to make a yummy healthy omelette.

I used large eggs. And, if I remember correctly, (the directions also stated this) I shut the machine off when the buzzer went off. I did read one review where it recommended not to use extra large eggs. You probably could use extra large but are not going to fit seven extra large eggs in the machine. You would probably have to use every other hole.

Actually the number of and size of the egg(s), and the degree to which it is to be poached is a matter of experimentation (the amount of water one adds to the unit before turning it on.) There are lines of demarcation on the included plastic cup and within an egg or two you will have no trouble ascertaining the proper amount. Also a very soft alarm goes off once the water has boiled off. The alarm does not shut off of its own accord, nor does the heating element. I would not advise leaving the unit unattended as the time required is relatively short.

It has a very loud buzzer that sounds. But you do have to go over to it and shut it off. Which you want to do because it is sooooooo loud. Ha. ha.It will do a large egg. I always buy extra large eggs and they all fit. You might have to adjust the amount of water - add a smidge more to get your eggs cooked exactly like you want. I love my egg cooker.

It will accommodate either size egg. And yes it does shut off automatically when the eggs are done. You need to be sure to put the button back to the off position or unplug it after each use to ensure the hot plate does not start re-heating. My buzzer did not work to alert me that the eggs were done but that was no big deal to me. Hope that helps.

Mine does not have auto shutoff. Any guarantee would need to come from Amazon. That said, their great return policy should not prevent you from getting it.

When the cooking is finished there is a loud audible tone. You will want to be there to put the eggs under running cold water to keep them from overcooking (from the heat within the eggs.) It stops cooking when it runs out of water, but it will start cooking again when the unit cools off, so you manually slide the switch to off and unplug it.

It said it had an automatic timer on it, but I have not noticed it shut off by itself.

I cook my eggs in automatic mode. I add a slight bit more water and in automatic mode it buzzes when egg is ready. Hardly noticeable in time. Maybe 30 seconds longer.

No. It turns on when plugged in and alerts you when it's completed. The alert is pretty hard to miss. I am glad it does not rely on an automatic shutoff because you really need to remove the cover to stop the cooking process and avoid overcooked eggs.

First I bought the eco and then I upgraded to the mini advance. The egg turning is a factor, but heck, it's not that hard to turn the eggs. Then there's the temperature alarm on the advance, it really helped me. I could BARELY read the thermometer on the eco, they put it in a difficult location. It was so much easier to have the digital with the alarm. I never had to check the temperature and I appreciated that it was one less thing to worry about.

It does not have steam or auto shutoff. I use mine for seam setting when piecing quilt blocks. Love it, is lightweight and easy to use.

E.M. - I'm not positive about whether it would shut-off automatically or not, but I seem to recall reading about all of the safety features when I bought it and I can tell you that the construction is sound. We've had it in our toddler's room since she was a baby and it has worked out well. We live on a fairly busy street so the white noise from the fan is very effective and the fan/heater work very well. I have had no concerns with safety issues since buying this product.

When the timer goes off it emits a loud alarm. It does shut off but it is important to take the eggs out ASAP since they will continue to cook even after it shuts off. The alarm will sound until you unplug it. It's a safety feature.

No auto shut off. Very loud buzzer goes off telling you eggs are done and you shut off manually.

I have owned several and don't think it has automatic shut off...but remains the best for the money I have ever owned...only problem is Pouring Spout handles...have broken two...and replacements are not available.

Yes it does auto shut off in about 6 to 8 minutes. Very accurate would buy again!

Yes, it shuts off automatically. I have been very pleased with this product!

I haven't had a problem with it shutting off before I am finished weighing my food. I usually wind up shutting it off manually, so I do not have the answer for you. I have another brand at my other residence which always shuts off in the middle of my weighing my food, this one does not do that.

I'm not aware if it had an auto shut off. We just shut it off when were done. While it lasted.

Hi. We hatched out chicks last month. When the time was up, it just kept running. We had it running for an extra day and it did not shut off until we turned it off. Good luck with your hatch!
