i'm confused - I thought the company was supposed to answer this question. I am still non the wiser as to whether this particular model that is for sale has a timer or not. Whilst I appreciate peoples comments about how useless a timer is when...

Mine does not have a timer. There are many factors involved with dehydrating something, the temperature and humidity of where you're dehydrating, how moist the product is you are drying, how dry you actually want something, how full the dehydrator is, how think the meat or fruit is sliced, that I don't think a timer is a useful option on one of these any way.

I'm pretty sure that the only timer is that you can set it to run for a period of time and then have it shut off. Similar to a tv where you punch in for it to turn off by itself in 1 hour for example. If there's another way to set it up I haven't figured out how.

There isn't a timer on my machine. There are three knobs: the left is for the griddle, the middle is to turn the machine on (to either griddle or grill) and the right hand knob is for the grill. We use this frequently as a grill and it does a great job. It cleans up well although I haven't put it in the dishwasher - I hand clean it.I have never heard our grill "ring" and there isn't any way set a timer. Perhaps some of the respondents have a different production model than ours. Hope this helps.

Nope, no timer. And no thermostat. It's off/low/hi....period. But it DOES work very well, and VERY quietly. And it has a nice small footprint.

no, but there are other brands out there,, sold at Home Depot or Lowes that do not have the timer.

No it doesn't. And by the way, my timer has already gone out. If you haven't bought it yet. DON'T

There is no timer. I purchased a few of these last year because it was 1/2 the price of a Rainbow Rainmate (http://rainbowsystem.com/accessories/rainmate/ ) which is what I really wanted - but opted to give this a try b/c of the cost and it looked/sounded very close to what I was looking for. I should have saved my money for the Rainmate... The motor on the EGeco didn't seem to put out much power and one of the 2 I had ordered took 5 minutes to start properly after plugged in. I gave one away since then and the other is in a box somewhere. The Rainmate uses any essential oil and you can also purchase the Triethylene Glycol ( http://www.rainvac.com/fresh-air-concentrate ) with it to clean the air - That is what they use in the Hospital Air systems to kill bacteria, viruses, and what not - Hope this helps : )

You have to buy a timer. It tells you that you need for it to be a timer that has complex off/on switching. I bought a simple timer with 10 minute buttons and it worked fine (less than $10).

Yes it will work with a timer. That is how mine is hooked up. It works well.

There is a remote available though I did not purchase that. From a quick search it appears you probably will need a remote receiver add-on to the Timer as well as the remote control.

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.

No, it definitely does not have a timer. They are quite nice in every other way, but NO timer. I didn't return them, because I decided that I had not read the description properly. They have now joined my fleet of purely decorative, rarely/never lit candles that are gradually being replaced by candles that do have timers. :)

Yes, it has a timer. It's packed away so I can't tell you the features of the timer.

Unfortunately it does not. It has three outlets: two operate on the timer (both the same) and one is not timed. Having said that, it is a great timer - easy to set up and dependable.

to be honest with you I don't know. I bought two of these timers and I found the directions so confusing that they are both laying here, never used. I wouldn't buy this timer for any reason.

It does not have a timer but it does have temperature type gauge that you can set from 1 thru 11 and the power throttles down after the ambient temperature reaches the preselected temperature. This is definitely not a proper thermostat, it's a lot more crude than that, but it kind of works if you need that sort of thing. I just keep mine set to max and get up and turn it off when I no longer need it.

I never used the timer...so I guess you should be able to disable it. Wish I could be more helpful
