Will this stay running or do you have to set the timer every time? The earlier generation one is great as it is always running through out the night.

IT HAS A 4 HOUR TIMER. Also, it doesn't work too well if you have it set up in a cold garage. I found that it didn't dry my soccer cleats when it was near 40oF some nights in October/Nov

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.

It stays on all night. You can control it with the on/off switch as well. I honestly never used the timer.

Yes, it runs forever when it is unplugged. As a matter of fact, the clock was still running when I received it.

Pressing the start/stop button stops the timer from running, but the numbers still appear. Other than popping out the battery, I don't know how to turn that part off. I leave mine on, to that extent, and haven't yet had to replace the battery - it doesn't seem to go through them very fast.

The one I purchased (almost 5 years ago) has never shut off automatically. It stayed on all night last night (from before 8:30 pm till 6:15 am) and no auto shutoff.

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.

U can leave it on all night. I have 2 teenagers who leave them on constantly. There is a timer for upto 8hrs if u want that option. So far these have held up well and I recommend them.

The light has a photo cell that turns it off totally in daylight and only on when it detects motion at night. Mine never stays on all the time. My light did fail once manuf said water must have gotten inside but got it replaced under warranty. If yours is less than one yr old call them

Yes, I have it plugged in, runs all night, just don't use any timer settings. It hasn't given me any problems at all, still running strong, no stops like 2 different Homedics ones that I had in the past. The white noise isn't quite as loud as the Homedics ones, it's sufficient.

My mother-in-law has one she leaves on 24/7; no problems. My mother turns hers off occasionally. It's a personal preference:)

I just check mine and the time is fully digital and you can set it run for as many hours as needed! This is a very good and easy to use timer. It's also very easy to program too!

The machine stays on all night, unless you use the timer, ie. set it to go off at 30 min, 60 min, etc. I just leave mine on all night, usually on white noise or waterfall sounds. I use it every night; one of my best purchases ever.

You can run the unit all the time. The automatic shutoff time is a choice. I usually turn mine on and off with the remote.

Yes, I run it all night for my son... It automatically runs continuously; you actually have to push a button or the auto-off feature to be activated.

It will stay on all night long if you want it to. The timer is optional to use.

Yes, I love mine, turn it off when u r done running it. it decides to run around by itself. creep me out at first, I figured out the tv remote has something to do with it. lol
