Do you have to use the shut off timer. Looking to put it in my son's room, he sleeps more than 8 hours....

Sorry for the delay, but yes, the timer is an option. It's actually a pretty nice heater, save the noise.

I cannot verify with mine as I have given it away to a friend. but I sleep way more than 8 hours, and on the weekends I left it on 24 hours a day. So you should have no problem.

No. You can turn on and off as you please. The timer is just an added option.

Rian Ketter is correct. The timer is optional. I have used the timer only because I occasionally forgot to turn off the heater before I went upstairs to go to bed--and was way annoyed with myself when I came down the next morning and the thing was still running. Waste of electricity!

According to the manual that I just read on-line, it does have a sleep timer on it. Can anyone who has one of these verify this for me? My son keeps killing the battery every night in his current mp3 player because he falls asleep listening to a book, then doesn't know where he left off. The sleep timer would certainly solve this problem

You can set the timer for up to 180 min. I believe if shuts off after 180 min if you do not set the timer.

Yes it will shut off after it has been on for so long. It is a safety feature. We usually turn ours off right before we get into bed. It is plenty warm throughout the night.

Hi, To my knowledge there is not a shut off button that you could use for bedtime. Depending on the age of the child this is highly unlikely to sound off in the middle of the nite. Youhave to be able to push the belly pretty hard to get Sully to talk. We bought this for our 2 year old son and he can't push it by himself.Overall, I really like this as a gift though.

It does not shut off automatically. You will need to buy a in line timer. They dont cost much. If ya fell asleep with it on high .... you will wake up very raw. The speed adjuster may vibrate to an increasing lower level... At the wrong time that could be irritating... lol good buy though. Best wishes

I've never left it on all night so I'm not sure, but I haven't noticed an automatic shutoff mechanism or anything. Remember that it takes batteries so leaving it on all night could eat through those pretty quickly.

Yes it does shut off automatically. I've never timed it however. Seems about correct though.

I have not used the timer function. I turn it on when I want, and off. There is a handy remote. Now, I will go try the timer. It's a great fan. Noisy at level 4, but does a great job of keeping the hottest room in the house cool

If u don't set the timer, it will run continuously. You can control the number of hours it will run with both the timer or in the sleep mode..So far, I have been 100 per cent satisfied with the unit.

it says in the directions to hold the 'on' button down for 10 seconds to turn it off. Which is what we do. I didn't know it turned off after an hour, we've always done it manually

Yes, you set the temperature level you want and the length of time you want it to run and it shuts off when the time is up. To change the time or temperature after you start it just click it off and you can reset either or both time and temperature. We own three different sizes and use them all. Best we have ever found.

I have never used the timer but if you set the temp. it will automatically heat up the room until it reaches that temp. then it will automatically turn off. I have it run in my kids room at night, I set the temp to low 70 and it will continue to heat all night and turn off automatically. The temp gage it a little off. I have a Thermometer in my kids room that says the room is 67 when the heater is set to 70. I like it because it is safe with the tip over switch and it has a energy save mode.

If you shut it down you will have to use the button on the back to start it and you also have to type in your password.A "restart" will also require your password.I think that most users however just put it to sleep unless they're not going to use it for an extended period.

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.

Yes mine does, you can set the hours on the fan to shut off in the hours that you want on the fan. I you want the fan to shut off in one hour or what ever time you select that is on the fan it will shut off automatic. If you fall asleep it will cut off at the time you have selected. I hope this will help you.
