can i plug this device on a programmable electric timer? (i.e. while in heating mode, does it still work after unplugging then plugging back ?)

Yes you can plug to a electric timer. It will be shut down automatically . But it won't be automatically back to normal mode after unplugging then plugging back. You have to use controller to power it on. Hope it helps.

My experience is that no, it will not just come back on when plugged back in. Each time I have unplugged the Dyson, I have to manually turn it back on. Hope this helps.

Hello -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean by does it work after unplugging then plugging back in. If the unit is powered off (and I think it would have the same behavior if attached to a programmable timer) then you need to actually turn it on manually for it to run again after that. Its thermostat works so well that maybe you wouldn't need to attach it to the timed power. Just set the temp you want, it will run as much as it needs to in order to get to that temp, then it will "inactivate" but it starts up again if the temp in the room begins to drop. So if it were me I'd avoid the timed outlet/power strip.Kathy Hello -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean by does it work after unplugging then plugging back in.

Jim, when you plug it in the device will turn on, however, as one of the reviews had mentioned that electric supplied cird is faulty, so you may have to buy a separate plug for that device.I hope this helps with your buying decision.

Once you have it set up and running, I see no reason why you could not turn it on and off plugged into a WEMO unit. I have my dog on a timer. So it gets shut off every day. And when powered on again it works just fine. There is nothing to adjust manually when power is restored.

Maybe, maybe not. Double check to see if your current timer is 120 volts, some are higher voltage then this might not work. If it is 120 then this will probably work, but I am not an expert by any stretch.

I don't have it on a timer, but I do have it plugged into a remote operated plug.

Rian Ketter is correct. The timer is optional. I have used the timer only because I occasionally forgot to turn off the heater before I went upstairs to go to bed--and was way annoyed with myself when I came down the next morning and the thing was still running. Waste of electricity!

Hi and there is not an outlet ON the crock pot to use a timer, but I think if you plugged the cord for timer into the cord for the crock pot then the timer plug into the outlet it should work.

yes.that is how I use it, an external timer that goes on and off, plug this device into the timer.

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.

Hi. I tried this but it only works for a few minutes, then I unplug, plug, works, then stops, etc. Have you found a solution to this? Someone said clean it but didn't tell me how...

not programmable--plug in--see "blankets" answer below--it points out shortcomings of the thermostat

Hello Marlene, I would like to thank you so very much for writing to me in reference to this heater. The answer to your question is yes. This heater will go back on w/out an external timer, and everything will be perfect. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to write back; and it will be my pleasure to answer. Have a wonderful day; looking forward hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Robert

I just bought this item from a local store. It does not have a programmable timer option. It only has a sleep timer and an auto shutoff timer, but not for changing the channels.

Hi Steve. No, there is no programming available on this unit. I was going to suggest an appliance timer but I think that after the power to the unit was disconnected it would not come on by default when the timer restored power. Hope this helps

CAUTION: An electrical timer will work if you can buy one that can handle a 15 amp draw. [NOTE: IF IT CAN'T, THEN YOU WILL HAVE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, AND BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!! The heater will pull so much electrical, and make your wire so hot, that it will literally melt the wire.]
