Can a timer be used to turn it ON? I want to set it to start heating early in the morning as an alarm clock

This should be possible by leaving the controls set at "on" and plugging the power cords into the timer

It has automatic timer that shuts off after 10 hours, however, it never worked from day 1.

No - no auto - on feature. It only turns off automatically (8hrs?) and the timer isn't adjustable.

Sorry Kim, but you can't set this cooker to turn on later in the day. For the meals that I cook in this unit that's never been a problem--for example, a pot roast that requires a 6-hour cooking time on the low setting will still be perfect after 8 or 10 hours because there's simply no evaporation to allow the food to dry out. If you're making a casserole that only needs to "bake" for a couple hours, and you want to serve after an 8-hour workday, you'll need to use the timed feature on your regular oven. I'm not aware of any slow cookers that have a delayed start feature for that very reason; they simply don't allow food to dry out. So as long as you cook your food for the minimum required time, extending the length of cooking time for hours, even, is never a problem. This slow cooker will automatically switch to the warm setting after the cook time that you programmed has elapsed, or the probe registers that the food is cooked. I've used quite a few different slow cookers, and this one (and its' smaller cousin) are by far my favorites. If you spent 10 times the amount of money, this would still be the best slow cooker of all, in my opinion.

I don't think a timer would work because after this coffee maker is turned on, it only stays on for 15 minutes, then it turns itself off automatically. In other words, you really can't "leave the switch on."

No. You can set up with your preferred temperature and time setting (up to 166º F and 60 minutes). You can lock in this setting to start again with a single button press. Settings are erased if unplugged. Great, high quality heating pad.

Absolutely! I hooked it up to a motion sensor light. However you need two things: 1. get a toggle switch to shut off the alarm because it will turn on until the motion sensor warms up. 2. you need to get a dc/ac adaptor so you can plug it into the house current. I made two and they work great.

You could use a timer, but only to turn it off before the 10 hours expires. We turn it on manually about 10 minutes before bed time on pre heat low. The directions cover multiple models, so you would have to check the details.

Since there is no on/off switch, you would need to have something that can turn it on/off at the wall socket on a timer. If you have that, then it might work.

The timer feature counts down to zero and "alarms." It would have to be reset for another 2 minutes. It is easy to set, but it does not have a function to alarm at intervals.

Yes you can work this heater with a digital timer. When wiring the switch run the black wire through the switch as this switch works like other switches. It breaks the current or closes the circuit. One thing to remember you will need to set the temperature to the level that you want to use. If it is warmer than the setting your heater will not run. To avoid this you will need to bypass the thermostat when hooking up the power. The heater will than run any time when turned on until the time runs out, no matter what the temperature is in the room. Be careful and have a licensed electrition do your wiring.

That is not possible. It is either on all the time or 1, 2,4 and 8 hours. If you want to set it for whatever time you want, I would get a a 24 hour timer.

I don't see why not, set it for turning off at 11:59 then Turn back on at 12:00

You can use the date book to set up an alarm. You can add an alarm to any timed event. I often use this function. I create an event called "wake up," set the time, and turn on the alarm. It takes less than a minute to set up

No, the timer is preset. No fancy option to change. And I'd be careful with purchasing this. Our stopped working after just a few weeks.

Unfortunately no... I think with new safety regulations that this is going to be much harder to find. You would need an older space heater that has a mechanical switch where you can plug it into a timer and once power is available it just turns on. This is a 2 step process that when power is available that you must then turn it on. Our bed heater is the same way now. We used to have it just automatically turn on but with this newer model we need to turn it on and if we forget it's a cold sleep for a little while :-) http://www.laskoproducts.com/usermanuals/6101InfraredQuartzHeater.pdf

This is not a timer. This turns the appliance off after a certain interval of on time.

Yes you can by taking advantage of the fact that the device actually has 4 individual timers. You would set timer 1 at 4 hours, timer 2 at 8 hours, and timer 3 at 12 hours.

No. You can set it to start immediately, and only run for X hours, after that it changes to a warm setting. I love it!
