Can you keep this continuously on through your business day?If not,and it takes 10+ minutes to warm up each time it would add a lot of time to orders.

In theory, yes. However, by leaving on for extended hours day after day, will reduce the life of these components and require being replaced more frequently.

Hello, The components such as the thermostat and elements have a life cycle. By leaving on for extended hours day after day, will reduce the life of these components and require being replaced more frequently.Thank you,Foodpros

I often leave mine on continuously overnight and for several days. Just ensure your heat setting is not too high.

from what I remember not randomly. You can set it up for 15-30 min on specific days.

What everyone else has told you here is true. The only thing I would add is that you may want to play w/ the time in order to fine tune it. I have an 80gal. tank, & have it come on for 1.5hrs in the morning about 6am & again at 6pm. This satisfies all our needs for the day. If you have a cheaper rate at night, time it to come on for the amount of time you determine so that it goes off at the time the rate does too. If the heater is satisfied before the time is up, it won't be on anyway...Remember to reset the clock after a noticeable power outage however!!!

You can either do the 20 minute intervals or leave it on continuously. If you wanted you coupd always turn the timer off and on to make it go at your leisure.

It doesn't take that long to get it ready (water) - I'd say a minute at most. The only reason to keep it running that long is if you wanted to warm your cup/s or shot glass/es (at the top of the unit). But the quick answer is "yes".

I havent a clue why it would take longer...sure you have the button with the heat source on...if so...maybe the heating unit is going out???? I dont use mine that much so I cannot really say-except what a bummer...

Yes. You can set it on permanent hold and it will maintain temperature until you adjust or go want to go back to schedule

yes, you are able to set the time for start and shutoff. but keep in mind it shuts off automatically when it gets too hot.

It is set up on a timer. I don't think it would run for an extended period of time.

Hi Ray..this unit CAN be set to operate continuously for an indefinite amount of time. It has two "timed" settings and just "on".
1169114
Yes it can....I have just have mine for the same off and on 7 day schedule.

No. You can program it to automatically come on at a different specific time for each day of the week or at the same time for all 7 days of he week. Same for shut off time. It also has a "random" feature that will vary the on-off times +/- 0-15 minutes if it is programmed to turn on/off at the same time for all 7 days of the week.

Nope! It only takes it about a minute to 'warm up'. When (a) light goes solid - it's ready to use. Just start moping!!! I had a shark - I know what your talking about. This is 100% better! You'll enjoy it.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

As long as you keep it plugged into a power source it will add stay on indefinitely. But if it comes unplugged it warms up if it not full pretty fast
