Why does it turn off in a minute with no use?

3 Way Auto Off - 8 min vertically, 30 sec when flat or tipped over.Guess this is the answer to your question. We like this safety feature.

If you leave the iron facing down be glad it does, your place can go on fire, as you may forget and walk away!!! However, it this does it while in the upright position, there is something wrong. It should turn off within 3 to 5 minutes as it signals not being in use. Check it out with the manufacturer just to make sure. I have mine, and I simply love it. Thanks for asking me, LehighandMe

Possibly to prevent a fire if it were to fall over or to save on electricity - just my thoughts!! Mine doesn't turn off when I am using it.

If you leave the iron face down on the ironing board it will turn off if not used within a short period of time to prevent fires. If placed upright it will not turn off for a longer period of time. I had the iron upright while I placed pleats of a blouse flat and it didn't turn off. I like the turn off feature. If you get a phone call the iron will turn off and you won't burn your house down.

I believe that mine goes 4-5 minutes before turning off but it does that for safety purposes.

There are settings for turning it off after a certain time, but none to turn it on. Mine is great for Seasonal Affective and I use it mainly in the winter.

I don't have this answer because it has always stayed on for the short duration I use it then it either goes off while sitting idle or I turn it off. I do know it has a short idle duration before it turns off on its own but I'm OK with that.

Yes, I believe you just unplug it for a minute or so. I find the device to be not very intuitive.

No, its set for a certain amt of minutes and turns off after time runs out.

It doesn't have a timer - plugged in it's on, you have to unplug to turn off and stop the process.

It turns off and stays off until you turn it back on again. There's a 30 minute option as well.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

The light will automatically turn off by itself if you just wait a few seconds

Yes, I just went out and tested it just now. All you do is scroll through the numbers until it reaches the on position again, and u can reset the timer to turn off in 1-9 hrs real easy.

It doesn't have an on/off switch or a timer. Just plug/unplug when you want to use it.

I just timed mine and it takes a full minute before it times out. I've never felt that the time to power down was too short.

It goes off for a while, maybe a minute or two at the most, and then it shuts itself off -- I just tested this to see what it did, as I had it handy.

I just tried mine set at 1 second - it worked fine. But, I don't know why anyone would want to set that short a play time.

There is an on-off switch on the side. It will also turn itself off automatically after a few minutes.

This is not a timer. This turns the appliance off after a certain interval of on time.
