Does this model automatically power back on after a power outage? Apparently not all thermoelectric coolers do

It does power back on. However, you will have to reset the temps that you select for it doesn't revert back to programmed temps.

The heater does not come back on after power off unless it's still hot the fan will come back on until it's cool but the heater does not come back on you have to reset it

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

When power goes out the thermostat holds the stored information for a while. If the power is out for extended time period then information is lost. This is as accurate as I can offer it as I've never timed it.

I think we have the light grey one so I can't answer that question. When the power goes out there are batteries that allow the thermostat to continue to work. However, your furnace/AC will not be working. When the power comes back on the thermostat will re-establish contact with your WiFi and everything will be fine. If you go to the Total Comfort website you can set up an email message to be sent you if the thermostat looses contact with the WiFi. That is almost always because of a power failure. I love that feature as we live in Alaska and spend several months outside of Alaska at a second home in the winter. So I know when the power goes off and it notifies me when the thermostat re-establishes contact with the WiFi when the power comes back on. So if there is a lengthy delay I can call and have someone go and check our home out. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

Yes, but is not something you have to get out and re-charge. I guess it does it automatically, so when your power goes out it stays programmed.

No, this is a strictly mechanical switch, you need to manually reset timer after power failure. I have been using this combination of timer and electric water heater for close to 30 years and believe it is even superior to the current fad of "on-demand" heaters.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

Not to my knowledge. I have not experienced a power outage since installing the control, but I don't recall anything in the very abbreviated documentation.

If all you're getting is heat, and the fan is running, the most likely thing is that the D.C. power connection is backwards. Try unplugging the cord from the cooler, turning it over and plugging it in the other way. Thermoelectric coolers generally use solid state components that provide heat with one polarity and cooling with the opposite polarity. In either case the fan should be running. If it isn't, you may need a new motor.

No it will not turn back on after a power outage, but you can set it up to turn on and off with an internal timer that comes with this unit,

The cooler does not continue to run if you 'hibernate' or 'shut down' your laptop. I only turn it off if put it on 'sleep'.

Very good question. I myself have used other UPS's for refrigerators during power outages. While I can't say how well this specific model will work, I can say I have used other brands that have worked just fine.

No, it doesn't. It resets if you unplug it. Regardless of whether it stays plugged in or not, every time you turn it back on you have to manually set the "thermostat" function and temperature, although if it hasn't been unplugged it will default to the last temperature you set it on. There is a light on the front panel so that you know whether it's on automatic/thermostat or just "on".

No, you simply plug it into the wall socket whenever you want it to tell you if the electrical power to that outlet (and associated connected circuits on the same breaker) goes off. When house power fails, the device sounds an alarm similar in loudness to a smoke alarm. I don't use mine during the summer, because I don't store lots of stuff in the freezer that matters. My own purpose is to let me know if the power goes off in winter while I am asleep. That way I can get up and run enough water to keep pipes from freezing or start up a back-up power and heating system. In summer, it won't matter, so I turn it off and unplug the alarm device until next winter.
