Does this have an auto shut-off? A cnet review says yes...amazon users seem to say no. Which is it?

No it does not. There is light indicator that goes red from Green, but imo the sandwiches tend to start blackening/burn at that point, so suggest checking the sandwiches after a few minutes of urn on .

I haven't seen any auto shut-off. Even read the booklet to check but it does't mention any, so I would say no.

I don't believe there is an auto shut-off. There is no button to turn it on or off. The panini press stays hot while it is plucked in and cools down only after it is plucked off.

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.

The one I purchased (almost 5 years ago) has never shut off automatically. It stayed on all night last night (from before 8:30 pm till 6:15 am) and no auto shutoff.

Yes, it turns off automatically. I have had this for almost a year and like it.

It does not have auto shut off. There is a switch in the back and a light in the front which shows on or off. I use it with a Pioneer and it does really well for a medium sized room.

From what I have noticed using this it does not have an automatic shut off.

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.

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.

No it does not have auto shut off feature. But I would recommend this product - my whole family uses it. It heats up quickly and works great!

No auto-shut off, or any shut-off. No on/off button at all. You must plug it in to start it and unplug it to stop it. I think this is a design flaw, if you ask me, but I've gotten used to it because I otherwise like how easily this machine works and how easy it is to clean.

No it does not have an auto shut off or go to a warmer mode. It's 4 settings are just "off", "low", "high" and "warm".

I do not believe you can turn off the unit, but it does auto shutoff ....just takes too long on my opinion.

No, just one setting - on/off, and no automatic shutoff. That said, it gets pretty warm (I'd agree with the commenter who said it reaches about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10) and it's been working perfectly for 1.5 years now, so for the price it's a good deal.

NO, it does not automatically shut off. I put mine on an external timer. Hope this helps.

It does not shut off automatically. It screams at you and you turn it off. As someone else mentioned, it cooks so quickly there's no need to go away and have it turn off by itself. I love this little appliance!

No auto shut off, but the battery lasts a very long time. Great little mouse. I have one for each of my two computers.

No, it does not seem to have an auto shut off function. But it is still a wonderful product. Hope this helps
