I understand this has a sliding thermostat but does the unit shut off once the desired temperature is reached?

Yes, it does shut off when it reaches temp. I am going to see about returning mine, as it started sparking.

Yes it does. The bottom slide-switch powers it off completely. Or, if you still want to see the temp in the room, during summer months, just keeping the thermostat turned up high will prevent the heat from coning on too.

No it does not shutoff. It goes to a warming setting until unplugged from what wife and me have seen. We usually just unplug it when it is done or trips to warm setting.

Yes. It turns on and off using the thermostat setting. I have had two other units over the past few years and this is definitely the best I have owned.

No shut off in event of tip over. It is light weight and my cats have knocked it over. I only run it if I'm in the room. Also, it only heats a small area. It takes the chill out of my bedroom and is good near sofa for tv watching. It does have a temperature shut off...you set how hot you want it.

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 does not. You can purchase a thermostat that will turn the unit on and off depending on room temperature and set temperature.

Yes, the sliding dial goes from keep warm, 280F thru 480F. If you are cooking at a higher temp it does take time to cool down enough to just keep the food warm. I usually just turn the unit off a little before I remove the food. It takes a while to cool down especially if lid is left on.

To my knowledge this unit does not. It only eliminates needing to switch from heat to AC. It is very accurate at monitoring temps.

Sorry, but no. It does have temperature control which I like but it does not turn off by itself.

Yes, The unit comes on and off with a built in thermostat. The pilot does stay on though. I use it to heat a small greenhouseand it was very effective.

Jennifer, Yes it has a thermostat built in and it will turn off once the desired room temp is reached. The thermostat is in the knob tho, there's no temperature number setting like on your home central heat or AC. It's one of those deals where you have to guesstimate by using the knob. It's not hard to figure out once you use it a few times. One other thing to note is that there's a "burn off" smell that takes a few days of use to go away. The smell set off our smoke detectors and I was pretty worried. I called the company about it and they said that the new coating on it would eventually burn off and it did, but be prepared to endure smoke detector alerts if they're positioned near the heater. Our heater was hooked up by our gas company. If you're going to use natural gas, and your existing gas line, I highly recommend you contact your gas company vs. a private contractor.....for safety reasons and ability to hold someone responsible if there's a gas leak problem down the road. Good luck; I really like this heater.

It unfortunately does not have an automatic shut-off feature. But even still, I highly recommend this heater. Very small and compact, yet puts out a lot of heat for it's size. Perfect for an office. In response to Douglas Lotz, this particular model does NOT have a set thermostat. Sure, you can increase the amount of heat that it puts out (and a high, medium, and low setting), but there is not an option to set it to a particular temperature.

Yes. The knob on the left is a temperature control. Once it reaches that set control it will automatically shut off.

No it doesn't. However you CAN cheat by setting the thermostat as low as 39 degrees so in the hot summer months when the room reaches a certain temp it'll shut off.

Yes. You set it at the temperature you want and it shuts off once that is reached and turns back on when it gets below that.

Yes,,,it shuts off when it gets to the desired temp. This is a great heater,,,Ive had one for years. On the coldest days it will heat a room quick. Highly recommend this heater.
