I want the thing to stay on until I pull the plug or switch the switch. Is there an automatic shut off?

Nope, it'll stay on and keep the coffee warm until you unplug it. There is no switch. Plug in = turn on and boil/percolate, done percolating = warm mode until unplugged. Hope this helps! :-)

Never got to use the percolator - it leaked out the bottom, and was returned.

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

I've left ours on since it arrived a few weeks ago. It has a timer you can activate but by default it will stay on indefinitely.

It's automatic. As soon as you unplug it the unit stays hot for one hour. There is no on off switch

I have not found an auto turnoff one....I sure would like it though....I forget to turn all of mine off very frequently. No Big problem if just 8 or so hours but guess it could be if left on for days.

press on the 0/1 button for about 10 seconds. that should shut the device down. btw, i don't recommend that you keep it plugged! beside wasting electricity, the plugged cable may cause a fire.

its always on if its plugged in, the only way to turn it off is to unplug it

Sorry I don't really know. I have a habit of always just unplugging it as soon as I'm done so its automatically on next time I plug it in. Lol

There is no automatic shut off, just on and off switch. So, as long as you have it on...yes.

I do not think it has automatic shut off. I never leave it on more than the normal use.

There is a timer. however, I always turn off and unplug, as directed by the manufacturer.

It doesn't have any kind of switch. You just plug and unplug to use. I don't know if there is a built in emergency shut off like you get on irons, but I really doubt it. I haven't used it a lot, but it has never shut off on me. Karen K

There is no way to keep the switch on unless you rigged it with tape. The way it works is that you press the button and hold it down to keep the electric current on and then when you release the pressure, it automatically turns off. It's a built in safety precaution so nobody gets zapped accidentally.

there is a timer that you can set for the length of time you want the light to stay on after it is activated. Mine is hooked to a regular light switch where you can turn it off if you so desire.

You can set it to close automatically when powered off or to stay open unless someone pushes the close button

No, I didn't want auto shut-off, but it is available at Amazon. I saw it when I got mine.

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