Do you have to use the timer to turn the dehydrator on? I dehydrate things for up to 48 hours and I don't want to reset the timer every 15 hours.

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

You would need to reset....there is a power switch to too but timed off for safety

Yes. You can set the timer for 1 to 12 hours or to continuous for up to 24. It has automatic cut off when it runs out of water.

It has 5 time choices; 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 minutes. I fill mine to the max level with distilled water. There is always a bit of water left after 100 minutes, when it shuts off. It does not have an actual timer. It is totally noiseless.

Yes. You have option of using timer or not using timer. I have mine on 4+ hours a day at my office.

I am not sure. We do reset it each time that we use it, I needed a 24 hour timer and that is about all that we use it for and each time we use it we set it for the exact time that we need.

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.

The timer is on for four hrs and then it will turn off automatically. The following day if will turn on exactly at the same time you turned it on for another four hrs and so on. I believe if you don't use batteries for the time that might do the trick so that it is turned on all the time, but you will have to test to find out. I haven't tried it myself.

Yes. I generally set a timer for about 17 minutes then turn it off myself, just because I don't want to forget and it doesn't have any sort of beeper. Once the water boils out it turns itself off.

No, I'm not sure a timer would be much use. I've made alot of beef jerky I haven't found a consistent time when it is always dried exactly right. I generally check it at about 4-1/2 hrs... And sometimes it's done, other times it may take 5-1/2 hrs... I think it's affected by the ambient temp, as well how consistent the thickness of your cut is.

The machine does have a timer button, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But otherwise the machine works fine. It just shuts off when it's full. That's fine with me.

I believe the timer is only for 45 minutes. The other choice is to have it in until you turn it off or the battery dies. It is fantastic and I love the size but we do replace the batteries often.

Yes you would have to reset the timer if you flip the on/off switch. This is for things like a fan,washer,dryer,and so on. I use these power con servers on my washer and massage chair. Hope this helps you.

No..It is designed to turn on and off at temperature set points. There isn't any way to control the "time" when it hits a set point. The only time setting is in-between the low shut off point and the high turn on point. If you were heating in a refrigerator with an element then it shuts off it is here you have control of the time..(it's called controlling the "short cycle")..after it shuts off there will be some residual heat at first then it will be absorbed or dissipate in short time...like 8-10minutes. So you set the "lag" time for like 15minutes, so then the controller will not check the temperature for 15min. THEN turn off if it needs to cool down more. That is the only time control in this controller. The only way to work in your case is you would need to place a 10min. timer between your controller and the pump. the problem being is you'll need a timer that re-sets after it shuts off..Not easy,but not impossible either!

I have not used this yogurt maker in awhile (I now use a yogourmet quart size), but I do believe there is a timer that goes off in less than 24 hours. The way I got around it was that I timed it for a few hours and then when it went off I reprogrammed it for the remainder of the 24 hour period, cuz usually I was around to program it for the remainder. I hope this helps and you are understanding my statement.Example: program time for 10 hours (at work), when I get home and alarm sounds, I reprogram for 14 more hours and then its done :-)

I am a novice (been doing this 3 days), but I purposely chose a model with a timer to shut off. It has already been most valuable. I was dehydrating a pasta sauce, and saw recommendations to check it after about 10 hrs and turn it over when it is solid enough. At 10 hrs it was not ready, but was a couple hrs later, when I was ready to go to bed. So I turned it over, set the timer for a few hours, went to bed and my dehydrated sauce was ready to package this morning.

No, it does not have a timer. Since the humidity in your home and the moisture content of the food can vary considerably, you must check the dryness manually.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!
