Does it have a safety shutoff after a certain amount of time?

No, it doesn't! However, it is a very good double burner. Have enjoyed using it.

I truly do not know. I will say that my unit was given to a 65 year old bachelor who placed it on top of his gas stove. That hotplate is all he uses, it is never turned off, is always covered with dirty pot and pans and the place is still standing. I unplugged it Monday when I took him to the hospital. True story!

No it does not. Don't go off and leave it. Even the lower heating burner gets hot in a hurry. It is nice for the speed and efficiency, but it is not an appliance to turn your back on. When not in use, I unplug it. For cooking that does not need constant attention, I use a slow cooker and an electric skillet with temperature control. Use this double burner for stir fry, quick heating and boiling, and short cooking jobs.

no, after you turn it on, it stays on until you turn it off, or if it is a very tight room, until the oxygen sensor turns it off. That said, it is a great heater! I use it in a small cabin, and I crack a window to take care of the oxygen sensor which is actually a really good safety feature...it turns off the heater before the oxygen in the room becomes too low for safety. Enjoy !

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

It has a timer option to turn off after a certain amount of time or to run continuously.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

I do not think it has automatic shut off. I never leave it on more than the normal use.

Yes, it automatically turns off after between 15 and 60 minutes while on battery if there's no activity, depending on the situation.

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

This model has a timing sequence option, so I assume it will shut off if set. I, however, haven't tried this yet.

Yes it does. After a certain amount of time it shuts off. I do not remember how long that time is but it does shut off by it's self.

It does have an automatic Shut Off. I do not know the how long before it shuts off. Contrary to instructions, I leave mine plugged into the accessory socket. Have for years and never had a problem.

It does have an auto off feature. If there is no operation, the unit powers off between 3 and 5 minuets. It is a great tool and very accurate. I really like mine.

It will shut off automatically if unused for several minutes. However, it does not have an "off" button per se.
