Is it safe to leave on all the time? After about 12 hours mine gets quite noisy. Shutting it off for a few hours and back on the noise disappears.

We recommend you to let the machine take a 30 minutes break every 8 to 10 hours.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.

It will stay on for a little while, but it's so loud that I turn it off if it accidently goes on. It is sensitive though. Sometimes the slightest vibration will cause it to go off

Is there anything in the home you can try shutting down? Sounds like it's caused by electrical noise, and could be something else causing it.Thankfully I guess my power's okay, as mine's never done that and I've had it a year.

My mother-in-law has one she leaves on 24/7; no problems. My mother turns hers off occasionally. It's a personal preference:)

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

As far as I've experience so far, it never turns off unless you turn it off. I left it on overnight one time.

No not that I know of. I never leave mine on for long. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I had my first one for nine months before it died. The thing is, I never turned it off and now I'm doing that with my new one. I know it goes into 'sleep' mode after awhile but I believe it's still better to turn it off if you're not using it for a couple of days. Also, they come with a year guarantee so this time I'm going to try and not lose my receipt.

I never have left it on for days at a time, but I have left it on for a couple of days when my little dog is at the caregiver's when we've been gone for a weekend. I use mine in my chihuahua's crate for at night. I start warming it up early evening and usually turn it off mid morning the next day. I would think it would be fine to leave it on most of the time if you are using it for a pet who lays on it most of the time, day and night.

Yes, it is safe to leave this unit on all day, as far as I know. I have left mine on for a couple of days, and only turned it off to see if it actually collected more than a few drops of water. I find this unit ineffective. Perhaps I have a lemon, and while it does not overheat, it also does not remove much humidity.

mine doesn't shut off. probably a flaw. i just turn off when i get out of bed. have had at least 3 of this brand previously and they all had auto shutoff.....i believe it was 8 to 10 hours

We do leave it on all the time. I only turn it off to fill it. The only downside to leaving it on is making sure you don't get too close to the sensing device when you're near it. I solved that by just pushing it back away from the sink enough that I don't set it off. But you have to get really close to set it off anyway,....

I've left mine on for over 24 hours but I do check the plug to be sure it's not heating up. Not that often, just every 12 hours or so. Have been using mine a lot, no problems at all.

You must turn it off, however if you do you may get battery drain. I always leave mine in loud mode, then turn it off when I start the engine, then turn it back to loud if/when I want it loud.

Yes, you can leave it on all night. We use the machine every night....it drowns out any outside noise in our neighborhood. The machine is especially great to travel with to eliminate noise from other hotel/motel guests or traffic noise in the area. We use the "white noise" option all the time so have never tried the other sounds. There are many other sounds available on the sound card that comes with the system, however.

Yes, we leave it on all the time! Absolutely no negative issues with this heater! Five star all around!
