Does this unit automaticly shut off when it runs out to water, so it doesn't burn out the heating element?

No! I ruined this steamer because it doesn't shut off automatically and it just kept heating itself, and burnt the bottom. Now it leaks.

The user's guide booklet doesn't address this. However you can see the water level easily in the boiler level window. Also you unplug the device as soon as you're through steaming your garmet because there is no on/off button. Hope this helps

I never let it get that low. Since there is no shut off, I can only assume it would burn out the element. I plug in, use and unplug.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

Yes, as a matter of fact it does. My unit, which runs very quietly by the way, will run for awhile and then the heating element shuts itself off (however the flames stay on). After awhile the heating element comes back on. There are two knob located inside the glass front door. The one on the left controls the heat, the one on the right controls the flame effect's brightness. I've owned five electric stoves in the past 10 years (four are still running) and this red Duraflame is my second favorite. I really like the color and size.

Not sure what you mean by shut off...it is set to provide water at a certain temperature. If the "incoming" water is already at the set temperature it will not come on. If the temperature of the incoming water is not at the temperature you set the unit at, it will come on with as much heating capacity that is needed to reach the set temperature.

It will shut itself off, but eventually it will turn itself back on, once the element cools. I use it for simmering and hardly notice the shut off. That feature is a pain when I am trying to fry something.

NO--it does not shut off on its own.I have never tried to run mine continuously. It is used to make a large bathroom warmer when showering. I am not sure that I would leave it running continuously. I would certainly not leave the house with it running.

It does not have an auto shut off feature. I pull the plug if I have to leave it. The good thing is it heats up fast when I return.

Yes, it will shut off automatically when it runs out of water, even with power connected.

No, the fan and the heating element shuts down when it reaches the set temperature.

Yes. Mine turns off automatically if I have the water running for a long time. I actually like this feature. It does save water.

If you're still looking, the Camp Chef Triton 10L doesn't have an automatic shutoff. I believe it's the only portable heater that doesn't.

I haven't noticed if the unit shuts down because the unit is outside. I do know that I can take a bath and adjust the temperature to hotter or colder and haven't had any issues.

It runs until it is out of water then the lights start flickering on and off indicating that you should unplug it or put more water in it. I've never let it run past this point so I do not know if it turns itself off.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.
