Is this safe enough to leave unattended for an hour or so? I need to set up at the venue before a wedding ceremony so it's ready for the reception.

Unattended?...never leave food unattended. If you leave it with canned heat on your food will be fine. it's ok to leave food heated to 135 deg. for four hours..as long as it maintains the minimum heat.

Yes but food can get dry the longer that it is left out. I also wouldn't leave it on a cloth table cloth.

I used them for an indoor wedding. I do not think they could be left outside because the battery packs would be too exposed to the elements.

I have not timed it but the on off has not been a problem. I would say it is reasonable and handy in all ways and I have not noted a problem with the length of time to off. I put it up to store without worry.

Freak things can happen, but in general I would consider it safe to leave it unattended for weeks. I would do it.

I would not recommend leaving it on. Towels do dry out overnight, I have experienced this when I accidently left it on when working at spas. Then you can risk fire if they get too dried out. Plus you will shorten the life of the unit. It hears up in about 15 minutes with warm towels to start and if you use ice cold water to wet your towels give it 30 minutes tops.

If you have up to date wiring with a grounded 3 prong receptacle, then I'd say that it will be safe. Always always keep it unplugged when not in use. There could be a time when you are in a hurry and think that you have the controls completely off and they aren't. so make it a habit of unplugging any small appliance.

The instructions say not to run it for more than 15 min at a time. If you let it sit for 5 min between each use I think you would b fine it is a great system the solution it comes with is not that great. Spend the money and get good solution we bout a gal on amazon for $100 and it is a big difference

Depending on how Much wind you have. But it is pretty simple to set up. without any wind maybe 10 - 15 mins from unpacking to full setup

I leave mine plugged in and never had any issues. I think that is in the instructions simply because it is classified as portable appliance. My oven sits on the counter plugged in and ready to go. My husband uses the convection setting on this all the time ,it is very nice to have.

You can leave it on but it has about a 4 to 6 hour charge. If you have it connected to a power source it can stay on. It can disconnect if the item receiving the signal gets out of range. All in all this is a great inexpensive device. Write if you have more questions

I actually don't know about continuous use and manufacturers recommendations. We use ours in our screened in porch but like all heaters caution would be needed. Could it get knocked over by animals or people? If so I wouldn't leave it unattended. It doesn't have any additional safety features to shut off automatically. I personally would not use it for continuous use.

as long as the cables are connected you can leave it under a lamp for awhile beforetaking it outside. i would leave it under the lamp until it started buzzing every 30 seconds or so.than place it in the ground about 3-4 inches from the underside of the solar panel and in a constantsun area. works good and have had no problems.

This does not have a way to turn it off and it gets really hot. I would not leave it on overnight unattended.

I honestly suggest that you should not leave it there overnight so it will not over charge the battery itself. thanks

I set mine up in less then 2 minutes w/stakes in ground. However, be sure to set it quietly because the zippers and velcro makes a lot of noise.

I usually give it 3-4 hours ahead of when I'm going to be taking photos...it's more of a "play it safe" thing I do. So sorry, I can't give you the exact time it takes. Normally, I plug it in the night before I need it.

I have operated it for a week or two continuously in a hotel room with no problems, if you were outside I assume you would be running from a generator. If so just turn the power off. The box is well insulated so I doubt you would have a problem
