Does it turn itself on?

No, it isn't electric. Rather, it has some clockwork inside that pulls the tea out when it's done steeping. (So you still have to boil your own water.)

No, it has no electrical connection. You must boil the water in a kettle then pour it into the unit which then works on a simple clockwork timer to brew the tea. The benefit of the simplicity is that you can wash the pot in a dishwasher which is not possible with a fully automatic unit.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

As far as I know, it must be turned on the charge/show that it is charging.

No it has an on and of switch. It does not turn off by itself. Hope this helps.

I am not sure, i know it has a switch to turn on and off. I never let it sit long enough to find out.

Yes it does. A green light, located right next to the power button on the top will come on indicating it is ready for use.

No it doesn't... or at least not that I've seen. You just have to start typing to test whether or not it is on.

No. It has to have power, and then be turned on with the remote or button on the unit.

Not sure, not at home to test it but I think the power cord had to be plugged in to turn it on

Hasn't done it yet. My husband has it where it turns on automatically when the TV is turned on, so it's on a lot. It's been a week since we've had and no problems yet.

Yes. Mine died one year and three days after I got it. When you turn it on it turns itself off again after a few seconds. Piece of junk!

Yes, it will turn on automatically as long as you don't manually turn it off.

No. It's either on or off. It doesn't automatically come on. Great idea, though!

Yes, it has a light that you can turn on. The light doesn't go on automatically, which is fine for us. The control for the light is in front with the temp control. Easy to use, nice looking when lit.

No. The running light is very bright and turns itself on and off randomly but tends to stay on. Go with another unit! This is horrible

No, mine turns right on. May need to check your ground wire and also the remote wire.

No, it does not turn itself off. There are red and blue lights that let you know when/if it is on.
