Does the Hot Air automatically shut off when placed in the hot air cradle or does it stay on until the switch is turned off?

when you turn the air gun off the air remains on until the element cools down then it will shut off, this protects the element and prolongs its life. btw I love this station too.

There is no auto switch, the hot air must be turned off manually. This is a solid station, well built and very durable! All the included accessories is a great added bonus. I have had mine for awhile now and it gets used weekly. The unit still works great and I have been very pleased ;)

First, I love this thing, especially for re-work. The cradle is just a wire loop resting place. You have to flip the switch, it then turns off the heat and the air continues to flow until the temp is under 150F. The good news is it goes from room temp to the set temperature in ~10 seconds when you turn it on.

It has two knobs on top...one controls how hot you want it to get before it automatically stops. It will keep the room at that temp by automatically turning off and on. The right knob turns it on and has 3 settings, fan, low and high.;

Does not auto turn off, so I assume it will use battery. Easy to turn off before returning to cradle.

Yes, it shuts off automatically. I have been very pleased with this product!

I have been using this heating pad since summer last year, every night and sometimes days too. I do not care about the wattage as long as it is working. It does not auto-shut off. It never shuts off unless you shut it off. I don't know what the manual says. I'm a real user - not a spokesperson.

It does have a thermostat, so it will turn off when the air around the unit reaches the set temperature, but, it will continue to run and blow heat as long as it needs until it reaches the temperature you set it to. This unit was a workhorse when I first got it, its only now that I've had a problem.

No. It does not hav automatic switch off. It doesn't get over heated so fast, depends on load and time

It is manual, you can only turn on or off.. .. it doesn't automatically turn off if it gets too hot. It does get hot to a limit so there is no reason for you to turn it off while you are still using it.

Yes. If you don't press the "HOLD" button (which maintains the temperature for 1 hour), it automatically shuts off when the selected temperature is reached.

We use ours on our motor home. We unplug the unit when not in use. As far as we remember there is not an on/off switch. Once you plug it in it immediately starts heating and only takes a few minutes for hot water. When you use the 6 gallons it will reheat quickly. When we are home we are not running electricity to the motor home so the unit stays off. We have had our unit about 2 years and are very happy with it.

No. It stays on at the set temperature which is a plus in some case. There are others that have auto-off.

Mine has never shut off due to overheating. The only safety shut off I know about on the unit is a spring loaded switch on the bottom. Make sure you can press it down and it springs back then try placing it on a hard surface, like the floor, to make sure the switch is pressing down and try it. If this doesn't work then the problem is inside the unit which means proceed at your own risk.

seems to stay on. It does have a red and blue color when it "slows" down, not shut off.I just turn it off then on again and it stay cool again.love it cuts the cooling of the air conditioner needed, which means better mpg

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.

Mine also goes on and off frequently. Very little really running on it. Sometimes it's on all the time, but it doesn't get super hot underneath.

If you leave the switch on "on" it is ready to respond whenever a preset humidity level is reached. Switch to "off" momentarily and back to "on" and it will run for a preset amount of time and automatically shut off. But, since the switch is still in the "on" position, it has reverted to humidity sensing mode and will automatically respond, once again. I have put 5 of these fans in rental units and I couldn't be happier with them. Be sure to check the screen over the sensing unit (where the LED light is) and remove dust so it will stay efficient.

No, the fan stays on. In heat mode it turns off. This works the same way identically as on my Friedrich unit with simular specs (but this one is more powerful)
