Does the machine stay on as long as you want (i.e., all night) with the on-off button, or do you have to select 30, 60 90 or 120 minutes?

The machine stays on all night, unless you use the timer, ie. set it to go off at 30 min, 60 min, etc. I just leave mine on all night, usually on white noise or waterfall sounds. I use it every night; one of my best purchases ever.

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.

You can turn it on so it stays on as long as you want That's what I usually do - on when I go to bed and then off in the morning when I wake up. It really is a great sound machine.

Yup - agree with all below. The default setting is: On until the machine is turnred Off. The timer button can be pressed to select any of the 4 different times (1 press = 30 minutes; 2 = 60 etc.). But those are OPTIONS; no press = On until turned off. (BTW: After 3 other "noise" machine brands we've tried, this is by far the best.)

As jkath, GBustin, JES, Busy, AH80, and Larmo-Ct said, ON means on on this thing, and I love it. If you have someone you "sleepshift" with in order to do in-home care of a loved one or any such situation, you can just leave it on to accommodate everyone with one button press. In addition, you can alternate your ambient soundscape for different things you do during the course of your day such as sleep, spa/pampering, relaxation, stretching, cleaning, reading, or to subliminally encourage someone else to relax or go to sleep. They didn't miss much on the sound side of this build; that's for sure. As jkath, GBustin, JES, Busy, AH80, and Larmo-Ct said, ON means on on this thing, and I love it.

It does indeed stay on all night. Pressing the on/off switch once turns the unit on. You then turn it off in the morning by pressing the same button. I love my machine btw. My sleep has improved so much since I started using it, so absolutely no regrets buying it.

It stays on all night. You can control it with the on/off switch as well. I honestly never used the timer.

This radio has programmable auto-off function for 120, 90, 60, 30 and 15 minutes. To do this, simply holding down the Power button for two or three seconds and display the options you choose.

it's designed to stay on 2 or 4 hrs. or you can set it to stay on~~that's what i do ~~ #2. use the leftside of the remote~1 click gets you # 8 , then l,then #2 (you can go higher, but i don;t think that's safe when sleeping )~~then on right side ,click #s until it says 4-stay on ~then go back to left side ~press & you get a 2. i know it sounds complicated, but it reallt isn't. i'm sure the directions that come with iy will be clearer than mine good luck~it really is a nice pad ! grace

There are separate knobs for on timer and off timer up to 15 minutes each, but I believe it will continue to cycle on and off until you turn the unit off, as there is an on off knob.

Yes. There is an option to set it to go off every 8, 12 or 24 hrs OR every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You can have it run from 1min up to 120min at a time.

It stays on all night. You can set a timer. I bought it because I wanted the all night option.

Yes, you have a choice on how long to run this machine. As how long to leave it on, it is timer set so I think it goes up to an hour before it shuts off. I've had mine for sometime now and love it. Helps me so much with arthritis in my lower back.

You push the button to turn it on and it automatically will go off in an hour. You can shut off your travel iron manually too. This is good as a backup in case you forget. :)

I want to say maybe 5-8 min, I've never really timed it! Ours is set to come on at 7, so it's usually made by the time I get up. When I've forgotten to set it to "auto-on" I just turn it on before I go out with the dogs, and it's almost done when we get back in, so not long at all. Still love this machine!

If the unit is off you can push the timer button and then select how many hours until it will turn back on. You can choose between 1-12 hours. If the unit is on you can also push the timer button and select between 1-12 hours before it will shut off.

Hi, The machine comes with two options, the first is to leave on all night or you can program, with the touch of a button, to have it turn itself off after 60 minutes. I have used both and have found that I do not need to leave it on for more than the 60 minutes, ever. When I have needed this machine to wipe out the external noise at night, it has never failed to lure me to sleep. I just use the surf two setting and it is pure gold for me. I am a very light sleeper so minimal noise wakes me up and then I cannot return to sleep. I just love this product and highly recommend it to others. Hope this satisfies your questions.

No. Manual on, timed off. 30 min, 3 hours or 6 hours upon a human pushing the button.E.G. I used it for a lamp at work. When I arrive, I push the button and its on for 6 hours. On Saturdays, it stays off.

There is a sliding switch on the side labeled: 1 minute, 2m, 5m and ON. Selecting 1,2,5 minutes will set timer/light on for those time durations. Selecting ON - it stays ON. When you then turn it back to off, it goes off after about 1 minute.

It has a programable on and off menue. Ours comes on at 6L00 a.m. every morning. Also, it has a program that will allow you to set it to go off automatically after two hours. East on and off switch in the back too.
