What are the timer settings? can you set it to turn on every like 10 minutes and then off for 5? or is it just like timer for 2 hours?

it is just a 2 hour timer. I would recommend you look for a different diffuser. This one only lasted about 6 months

you can set it to turn off after 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours. or you can set it to just keep going until all the liquid in the diffuser is gone.

It's not like an oven timer. You just turn it on and it runs for 2 hours then shuts off.

yes, i think it's 2 hours. I have it programmed to come on at 6:30am, and it shuts off sometime later.

The timer comes on close to sunset. I don't think it can be set for a half hour before sunset though. Sometimes it seems to get dark inside the house before the light comes on - but that has more to do with if it's cloudy or sunny outside. You can set it to sunset and then select any time you like for it to go off.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

I have never used the timer. It goes up to 10 hours, the. It is supposed to shut off. We have been using it all winter and it works great.

Where is it, on the machine? When I turn mine on, it just goes to the timer times. How do I set it to be continueous?

If set on one hour you can press the button and advance thr timer to two hours, press it again it will go to three hours, press again and it goes to four hours. When at four hours pressing the button resets the unit to off. If you unplug the unit it resets itself to off.

No, it is strictly a count-down timer. You can manually change it after the 2 hours, but cannot program it to change for you.

Yes, it has timed settings of 30, 60, 90 minutes AND one that will allow it to run until you turn it off. It's GREAT !!!!!

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

Yes, you can set it for 14 hours. Just press the tabs down for when you want to timer to go on and off.

There is an option for a 20 minute timer, then it shuts off, or there is a permanent "on" switch. The timer is great! This is a wonderful product.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that 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).

It goes up to 360 minutes at a time. Since you can set it to turn on multiple times a day, I would just set the next time it comes on right after that duration has completed and start the next one. Hope that helps.

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.

You can choose to have it on continuously (until shut the power off) OR you can choose to have it run for 10 (?) seconds and then off for 10 (?) seconds (until you shut the power off). I wish you could set it to run for 20 minutes, off for 40, back on, etc. or to run for a period of time and then just shut off, but it doesn't work like that.
