It says that it shuts off after 4 hours?? I want a heater for my baby's room but would like it to heat all night.

I bought it from Target too and its thermostat is not reliable. I set it at 70, put it high where the warmest and it keep running even the room is at 80, I even put another thermostat next to it to make sure - But it keep running. I would not suggest it for baby room at all.

I just bought this unit today from Target and it nowhere mentions about auto shut off after 4 hours. All it mentions is the auto shut off after it reaches the thermostat setting temperature and kicks back on when the temperature drops 2 degrees.

We only use ours for an hour or so at a time because it heats up the bedroom so quickly. So long as it does not overheat the room it is in I don't think you'll have a problem with it running all night. Just follow the instructions and keep it at least a foot away from other things. I believe that it has an internal thermostat that shuts it off if it heats itself up too much. It is a very high quality device and we are very happy with it!

According to the manual, it has an auto-shutdown function that turns itself off after 12 hours of non use. My kids pause video games and leave the room for hours on end, and it never shuts itself off. Sounds like your unit has a issue.

Mine doesn't shut off unless I tell it to, or it gets unplugged. But the time for the keep warm function turns off after 12 hrs I think.

I have never left it on overnight. The short time I have left it on it didn't heat up at all. Not sure what would happen if left on for extended periods.

It has an automatic shut-off. I think it turns off automatically after an hour. Move the switch to off and turn it on again.

It should be heated up by 48 hours. Your heater is probably faulty. Mine always ended up running hotter than set temperature, and I had to switch mine to another heater.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

The heater portion is only set to come on when the temperature drops to a certain temperature, then shut off when it warms up. IIRC, it comes on at 35 degrees and shuts off at 45, so I don't think that is what you are looking for.

I've gone to sleep with it on and turned it off in the middle of the night because the room got too warm. I've never actually left it on all night but I've left it on until about 3am.

I have the same problem with this heater also. It shuts down after just a few minutes on high and doesn't come back on until it cools down and then you have to manually turn in back on at the lower setting. I am not going to try and fix it but I will solve any future problems with this fan by not ever buying another one and I would not recommend this fan to anyone....It is very annoying!

It will shut off after 40 min. If it plays all night the batteries will constantly run low.

Hi - I no longer have that heater - it broke when I was cleaning the aquarium. I was concerned about continuing to use a glass heater, so I use a different type now. As I recall, though, it was about 8 inches long (or so) and it did shut off when it reached the set temperature.

It also does not say in the listing that is has auto shutoff. I checked the Sunbeam web site and it says there is a 2 hour auto shut off. You may try searching the web or checking all the heating pads at Sunbeam.com

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

usually you don't need the run the heater all night, it will come off as you said when the temp reached the target. I just leave it on as it is automatic.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.
