" ... The auto shut off does work but like any appliance it is best to not 100% rely on this. ... "
" ... Works like a charm, and the auto shut-off is set right on. ... "
" ... It is not back light, you have to study it and practice it to get used to the timer and they tell you to wait an hour to see if it starts but if I set it to start up for two or three minutes. ... "
" ... There are two design features that make me wonder if the unit could be more efficient/safer though. ... "
" ... No complaints, however, I suggest that it be run with a timer to eliminate the automatic shutoff feature. ... "
