I am reading several reviews that this product does not shut off automatically after the eggs are done? can someone confirm?

That is true. This egg cooker does not shut off automatically. Since the time is so short, I don't view that not shutting off automatically as an impediment.

It doesn't shut off. It sounds a very loud alarm that they eggs are done. You will NOT miss it. Ha..ha. It sounds like a smoke alarm. I love my egg cooker. I use it all the time. Best ever!

It does not shut off automatically. It screams at you and you turn it off. As someone else mentioned, it cooks so quickly there's no need to go away and have it turn off by itself. I love this little appliance!

The timer does not turn off as far as I know. Waited a couple minutes but had to shut it off its so loud

It does not, you need to hit the button, and it will turn off. It lets out a really loud and annoying beep. Also remember even if it DID turn off by itself, you'd still have residual heat in the container and that alone will cook eggs. I love mine, I get perfect half boiled eggs every time :D

It does shut off automatically, but annoyingly loud buzzer stays on until you place the switch in the OFF position.

I Purchased the Foreman grill for a gift. I am not sure if it has an auto shut off, but I do know that it does cook rawchicken breasts very well. Hope this is of some help!

when making toast on the toast setting it shuts off. for regular baking/broiling the unit does not automatically shut off. I usually set the timer and a second timing to make sure I don't leave it on by mistake.

My Bunn does not have auto shut-off. In fact I have never seen a Bunn with auto shut-off.

No it does not auto shut off, You have the choice of off, low and high heat. I never run mine on high as low does quite well.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

Hello Susan... I was just eating an egg made from the unit in question for lunch; it was a perfect hardboiled egg. The user needs to be careful right after the unit has shut off. The temperatures exceed 200 degrees and can scald one if not careful. If you let the appliance stand for a while after finishing the temperatures becomes very manageable. The handle on the unit which holds the eggs is small. My suggestion to you, when using this appliance by an elderly person, is to place a bowl of cold water right next to the unit so that when the eggs are finished the rack can be lifted and placed in the water. This will allow the eggs to cool quickly and be easier to remove the shells. And secondly, allow for the bowl to be used to move the eggs around easily alleviating the need to worry about the small handles on the rack. The heating element base area tends to discolor due to minerals in the water. I pour very hot water in the unit and let it stand for a short time when cleaning it. I then pour out the water and scour the deposits with an abrasive sponge. The stain comes off very easily this way. I just thought I'd pass along this little tidbit of information. Also, when punching a hole in the egg to let out excessive steam so they do not explode do this to the larger side of the egg. Instructions call for the smaller side, but the other side works better. Lastly, add two lines more water to the unit (to what the instructions call for) for 7 hard boiled eggs.The system seems to need a little extra time steaming for perfect eggs... and they do come out perfect. I hope I have been helpful to you.

It does not turn off automatically. I left it on several times after I didn't realize the oil had evaporated. Nothing happened.

Although it does let you know the eggs are done, you must unplug it in order to prevent burning or a fire. As an insurance agent, I can't begin to tell you how many fires That came across my desk caused by small appliances. This one in particular seems to continue cooking! However, it does a great job of cooking hard boiled eggs in a relatively short time.

Once the buzzer goes I remove my eggs immediately (using a large spoon) to cool water and put a couple of ounces of water into the cooker. I let it cool before washing it but the water seems to keep too much from sticking. I would not leave my eggs in the genie once the timer goes off - I'm certain it would overcook the eggs.

I have never had that happen before. I have owned two of the same ones and love it... The only way I would think that would happen if you do not put the exact amount of water depending on how you want your eggs cooked. Hope this helps

It does have auto shut off. However the one I have has never shut off in the process of me weighing items. It takes about a minute of inactivity for that to occur.

The one I purchased (almost 5 years ago) has never shut off automatically. It stayed on all night last night (from before 8:30 pm till 6:15 am) and no auto shutoff.

Mine has worked wonderfully. But, the secret to not cracking the eggs is when you put the egg on the pin hole point. make sure you use the small end of the egg, and don't apply much pressure, I still crack at least one.

No it does not auto shut off. Maybe4 it ought to... but it has no on or off switch... you plug it in and unplug it... these are the only controls...
