Is this a machine that repeats itself every 10 seconds or so with a break in-between, which is very irritating? Or is it continuous?

Hmmmmm...well it appears to me to be fairly continuous...meaning it sounds most real..you may want to try it for yourself..but I'm pleased with it.

Mine does the same thing - did it from day one - very frustrating for a machine in this price range.

I used mine about 10 times and it did the same thing. The guarantee requires you to return it and send a check for five dollars and they will send a new one. I have used them for years but apparently they now have a quality control problem. I decided to throw in the trash.

It is automatic. However, if you don't turn it off when it first goes off, it will keep repeating for a while and then it stops.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I have never heard a transition or break in the "loop" a very nice continuous sound. My only upset with this product is the set-up - it is not intuitive and I always have to refer to the instruction booklet to make a change.

You can turn off the music, but it keeps talking/playing for about 10 seconds (annoying!)

I love mine, too. I have never had it keep running after I release the button on the bottom.

Sounds like you may have a defective unit. I listen to books on CD and there's no repetition. When "pause" is used, it starts up where I left off.

Mine has done this only a couple time, but I thought it was because I was trying to get it to do too many things at once. I've found that it is kind of on the slow side...so let it move through each thing you're doing at it's own pace and it seems to work much better that way. I hope this helps!

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 also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

I've never run mine continuously more than a few minutes at a time and then I give it a rest of a few minutes in between runs. You probably should contact the manufacturer .

Yes, you can set 10 second intervals to repeat anywhere from 1 to 99 times. You can also save programs.

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

It does stop automatically after so many minutes. I have never timed it. I just turn it back on if I want it to run longer

I have never had that issue. Faulty machine unless there is too much ice cream in there and somehow the vibrations are causing it to move??
