Does this have anti tip protection (i.e. if it falls it shuts off)??

I don't believe so. I asked my husband and he said he didn't read it on anything and that it has a container at the bottom that you fill with sand or water that makes it pretty stable.

Make sure you buy extra tips. If you drop it when it is open it will break off.

I did not see that in the discription. it says auto shut off feature. I think it means that if it over heats it will shut off. I love mine. However, I don't have pets or kids that would would bump in to it to tip it over. I also don't sleep with it on. just a safety thing for me. hope this helps.

As best seen on the black stylus in the picture, there is a guard on the end. It seems to be a hard plastic of relatively high quality. It does not move and is not removable. The end IS open, but the tip of the stylus is well protected when it is clicked up. You'd have TRY to damage it. Or have a freak accident...

Yes, it shut off when you close the pad, but make sure the pad is perfectly back in the correct rotation for complete shut off.

Extension only, no tip. It may look like there is a tip with the extension, but that is just the holder for a tip.

No, it does not shut off when tipped over; howeverThe ceramic screen does not get hot so there is doesn't appear to be a way for it to catch a carpet, curtain, blanket or other item on fire. Nonetheless, I would use it in an open area and avoid knocking it over to be on the safe side. I had the same question prior to purchase.

Yes it does. After a certain amount of time it shuts off. I do not remember how long that time is but it does shut off by it's self.

It does not shut off, but the box states power is reduced. The graphic they used on Amazon is wrong. Vornado AVH2 purchased 1/2016. My guess is they are just using their same airblow blocked/overheating technology for tip over.

No it does not. I just laid mine flat on the floor on it front and it never shut off.

Bought it for a friend, but I found specs online that say it does have tip over protection.

The owner's manual for the Vornado AVH2 says the unit is equipped with "Tip-Over Protection". If tipped over the power to the heating element and fan motor is reduced to prevent overheating. It does not shut off.

Not that I know of. There is a tip with a shield on it and two regular tips.

Yes it does, however I haven't seen a need for it. It is very well balanced and has never tipped for us.

Thank you to those who have responded as they have provided great insight for you. Generally the smooth hard plastic tips does not cause any problems for the reasons stated (it is in the center of 3 inch long fibers, there are fibers in front of it. Although not needed, if additional protection is desired a gummed piece of felt, such as used with furniture feet, can be added. FYI - There is a greater concern if the tip was not there as the plastic tip actually is covering the sharp cut ends of the twisted metal spine. In the rare situation that the tip falls off, protecting the end with a couple layers of duct tape works great. Thank you to those who have responded as they have provided great insight for you.

Yes, if it gets knocked over or isn't on a flat surface it has a thing on the bottom that shuts it off.

Yes it does tip very easily. The lamp is inexpensively made (cheap) and is vey light weight.
