One person states it does have a tip over shut off and another states it doesn't. Does it automatically shut off if tipped over?

No it does not. I just laid mine flat on the floor on it front and it never shut off.

It says in the description of the product that that is a feature of the heater hence why I brought it

I just went in my room and pushed mine over(pretty hard) and it didn't not shut off and I have hard wood floors.

I bought this as a gift and I didn't think to look to see if it has auto shut off. Sorry I could not be more help.

This model does not have tip over cutoff protection as of November 2015. I confirmed this by testing the two I bought. Both units kept running when I laid them on their sides. I returned both of them.

It does not shut off, but the box states power is reduced. The graphic they used on Amazon is wrong. Vornado AVH2 purchased 1/2016. My guess is they are just using their same airblow blocked/overheating technology for tip over.

The tips that come with this unit are for 1 person. It does come with 2 tips but they are for different purposes.

Not sure about automatic shut off but if it tips over it will cut off on its on as a safety procedure

My two drawers are both filed with files so if one is open, there is no problem with tipping. However if both are open, obviously it does tip.

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.

Mine does not shut off if the on/off switch is at the top, but if I turn it so the switch is at the bottom, it does.

I think it's supposed to have an automatic shut off. Maybe yours is not working proper? Send it back.

I believe that Parragon23 is correct. It's hard to say because it's quiet and doesn't have any indicator that shows its shutting off.

I've knocked mine over several times without incident. I believe that the heating element shuts down but the fan keeps going making it appear to NOT shut off. This is the best heater we've owned including the Pelonis heat furnaces.

We have used it extensively in our Kodiak travel trailer for two years. I have noticed that it gets warm when it is used, but not to the point of burning someone by touching it. It does have an automatic shutoff feature when tipped over, which is important. We do put it up on a kitchen counter to simply prevent our dogs from bumping into it and it does a great job of heating up our trailer in a short amount of time and then it shuts off with the thermostatic setting, until the temperature goes down and it starts again............RogerG

No, it does not tip over. It stands up straight. I have my laptop, an ipad and a kindle and it doesn't tip over

No, there is no "tip over feature" but I don't think you need one. This is because it is almost impossible to tip over and even if in the very unlikely event that it's tipped over, it's not really hot enough to burn.

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

Yes it automatically shuts off if knocked over and then when stood right side up will continue to work after turning back on. I personally have seen this happen a good four times already. Sadly it sits in a high traffic area and I have a large puppy lol
