does this iron shut off automatically when left idle?

It does, but it not the problem with this useless iron. It leaks like there is no tomorrow. After trying three different samples of this model and a few other Rowenta models, I have given up on them. When I called customer service to let them know of the issue and why they are losing customers, all I got was defensive responses vs. trying to understand true customer issues. This brand is not what it used to be.... Switched brands now (to Electrolux) after 20 years with Rowenta and couldn't be happier. No issues for ~ 6 months now.

Yes it does. after 8 minutes if in standing position and 30 seconds if on its side or left flat. It has been a great feature to have.

Yes, it will shut off, but I don't recommend this iron. Please check the reviews. I am not the only person who has had problems with this iron leaking water when it gets hot. There is a serious design flaw with the Rowenta irons. I really loved the iron before it developed a water leak.

The "auto-off " safety device turns the iron off if left unused for 30 seconds in the horizontal position or 15minutes in the upright position This is the manual.http://www.frontgate.com/wcsstore/images/Frontgate/moreinfo/59059.pdf

No it does not. And doesn't have an auto shut off or power off button either. Must unplug every time. Irons great though.

No, this model does not automatically shut off. I don't find it to be an issue, though.

No auto shut-off but draws very little power when not in operation.I leave mine on all the time.

No. I think that is because to produce steam and operate properly, it needs to remain on. Automatic shut off, for me would be annoying aas the iron would have to heat up again and I would have to wait for the proper temperature for the steam. Hope this helps.

I have this iron, when I have it on, it will stay on as long as I need it. It has never shut off while I was using it. Hope this helps.

Both work with steam off . . .and have the option to turn off the annoying auto-shutoff which kicks in after idle for 8 minutes.I'm convinced, after replacing my household irons every year or so, that people who sew, are experiencing much shorter lived irons specifically because of the auto-shutoff. Think about it . . .they heat, they cool, they heat, they cool, all day long, every day they're used. That can't possibly be good for irons.

The automatic shut-off refers to the heat in the iron itself but has nothing to do with the water in the tank that has a separate control. The iron might cool off but the steam will be ready to be used use The pressure of the steam is controllable also.

It does have automatic shut off. Which is nice since I'm forever going off and leaving things on.

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off" Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

If the description claims auto-shut off, it's inaccurate . . .this iron does not auto shutoff unless the water tank run dries . . .in which case, it shuts off to avoid ruining the unit.

Hi Deborah. No It does not switch off automatically, so it is important you do not forget it turned on. However it is a great iron. Now that I have it I cannot do without it.

Does this iron shut off every 10 minutes? If so, to turn the iron back on, do I just hit the "on" button?

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