Do you know if this could take being used for several hours at a time? I've burned out several machines making 50+ dozen over a weekend.

Personally, this machine is to be used for "household" use. However, I have made several batches (you get at least 40 pizzelles per batch) in a row. I would suggest, giving the machine a little rest every 3 batches. It should be fine.

my family has made pizzelles fr 3 generation. We love our pizzelles but you seem to be making commercial size orders and the fact you have burned out several "I would call this a human malfunction" and just as you said you have burned out several. Iam surprized your cording did not over heat and have a flash electrical fire. Just my family's opinion. We do have 2 electricians and 2 electrical engineers and they said check w manufacture for this issue. We bakers have several different models and have no problems.

We are getting 4 to 5 hours (240 to 300 minutes) of actual use per array. For example I usually turn my machine on for 3 sessions 20 minutes each: 10 minutes negative and 10 minutes positive electrical charge repeated 3 times for a total of 60 minutes/1 hour.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

Depends on how often you make them. Even the best blenders will burn out if used too much. Best case scenario is if it's for daily use, don't purchase this.

I have used it 30 mins. at a time without decrease of power. Have had no need to try usage longer than that.

Personally, I've only run the unit for 24 hours straight. I cannot comment on 'several days' but I believe that it should also be fine. Also, you should note that the settings can be configured for it to turn itself on and off AUTOMATICALLY. This means that, there is no need for the unit to run CONTINUOUSLY, for several days.

You have to fill it more than once if you intend to run it for 8 hours or more, so plan on investing in wholesale bubble solurion because it kicks out a lot of bubbles. Also, beware the area two feet in front because it will become slick/wet with the bubble solution. Other than that the machine is well worth the investment.

Yes. You have to have the timer on for the machine to operate. Hope this helps out.

Don't know. How old is machine? How long did you run it, at what temp? I've never run mine more than 4 hours, as it seems to dry things out quickly, even when making jerky. Did the heating element go out? Did the circuit blow? Too many variables.

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!

it would be rather expensive to run this 24/7 but it can be used continiously (longest mine runned so far was 9hr non stop - entire house including A./C and sump and macerator pump)however if you are going to run all the time !!! pick one with a v Twin engine

The unit has a shelf life. At 24/7 it might get used up more quickly than you would like.

I can tell you we easily make a dozen daily for family. But at 100+ per day, you should be looking to a more heavy duty commercial machine.

yes- but after an hour you might want to change the pattern.....I let it run a long time too

What I noticed is that machine will not work more than half an hour if I use continually, as I shred only once in a month. It need a good couple of hour cooling time, may be something wrong with my machine.

Yes and I kept moving the cables around the cables and wraps back with electrical tape. Started working but I unhooked every night. A few times I had come in and it was off but bed was hot. I really did not think it was so. Last week everything in my room was off but the room had a funny smell. Machine was turned off but this machine still burned up everything thank God I can in the next day everything had melted. Long story short send it back or chuck it. I am being honest. Thank God cause I was getting ready for 10 day vacation. Unplug every day. Problems starts get rid not worth it.

We leave our machine on for about 30 mins every time we use it and it last a few uses.
