~Can the unit be set to run continuously? If not, what's the longest operating time?

No it cannot run continuously. I believe it runs about 20-30 min. I just keep the remote in my pocket and touch the button when the pain starts to return. I vaguely remember the cautions in the directions mentioning limits. But my choice says do whatever it takes to ease the pain. For example I go to bed with it on when I need to. I just prop a pillow behind my back to keep me on my side. No problem so far. And if it gets me a few hours of sleep, I'm willing to do anything.

timer function is independent of the on function. So it will run continuously if you just turn it on.

The fan runs continuously, even after the unit has reached its desired temperature. There is no way to turn that feature off.

This item can be set to run for 1-2 minutes with no problem! I've had no problems out of this unit either. Very reliable, been running every day for over a year on the original batteries.

If you run it continuously on the highest setting ... roughly about 3 hours.

I am not sure because I have mine setup twice a day but I think that it is possible. According to the knob that is the longest period that you can setup, but I haven't tried it myself. What I can tell you is that it works, I haven't touched it since I installed it months ago and it does its jobs every day.

I'm not sure what "continuous" mode is, but I know all modes run continuous for a preset period of time.

The unit could be set to run as you describe. It has the capability of running 3 times daily on each outlet. Also, you can set for every other day operation as you describe say 36 hours. Downside is that if you set for every other day operation, that controls both outlets. Hope this helps.

I has a timer with a "stay on" option I suppose you could put it on "stay on" and use a wall timer. This thing is very heavy duty. I doubt seriously you'll want to run it 4 hours every day.

I run it overnight - I would estimate it runs about 6-7 hours on the continuous setting and longer on the interval setting.

Yes, you can set it to run up to 12 hours, and after 12 hrs, the letter 'C' comes up, which means continuous.

I keep my unit set at 68--it will cycle off and on. I also turn it on only when I use the room it is in....either way it cycles off and on--call warenty service!

Yes. There is an option to set it to go off every 8, 12 or 24 hrs OR every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You can have it run from 1min up to 120min at a time.

It runs continuously but you can control it by controlling the air pump. I think that is what I said before but I double checked with someone who uses this a lot. Thank YouMaria

Diane you can set the temp and the time you want the unit to run for by first turning the unit on and then pressing the temp/time button set the desired temp using the up and down selectors on the right of the control panel. Then tap the temp/time button again to set the length of time the unit should run until it turn off. I also tap the power button again so it does not run on high... The low setting does not draw as much electricity and is still efficient enough for my use.

I haven't tried it but you should be able to set the frequency to 24. That will then water every hour. Then set run time to 30. That should water 30 minutes every hour

I have run mine as long a 4 hrs and it has never shut down. Send it back and get another one.
