Safe to leave on all day? Can't find one with a timer (an affordable one*)

Mine has been running 24/7 for three months now and there has been no problem. It automatically shuts off when the tank is full, so you don't need a timer. It never gets hot and it is very quiet. I forget about it most of the time until I see the full light on. It works great!

Yes, it is safe to leave this unit on all day, as far as I know. I have left mine on for a couple of days, and only turned it off to see if it actually collected more than a few drops of water. I find this unit ineffective. Perhaps I have a lemon, and while it does not overheat, it also does not remove much humidity.

Other than turning it off to empty it weekly, I let mine run for 3 months non-stop.

Have had ours for 5 months. Leave it on all day and sometimes all night too. No problems so far.

Yes. I leave it on. No problems. It is in a small bathroom and seems to work great.

No timer, to my knowledge. You may wish to ask the supplier, August International.

There is a switch on the bottom. You can turn it on and off any time. Or you can turn it to Timer and it will remain on from that moment for the next five hours. Next day at the same time it will automatically come on.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.

The one I purchased could only be plugged into a USB port for power. As to leaving it all all day, I would say that I've only had mine on for a few hours a night because even though the lightning bolts can be seen during the day they are more dramatic in a darkened room. It is well made, so I see no reason it couldn't be left on all day. Hope this answers your question.

Yes ma'am, I'm with guygo. I'd never leave this thang on at night. it does have one a them cut-off thangs on it but I'd never trust it overnight. Th best safety device is what's between my ears.

Hi Kim. There is an on off switch on the back of the light. I think you could plug it into a timer without a problem. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

Hello. You can certainly leave it on all night. I do all the time. Also electricity is much cheaper in the later hours. :-)

Sure, it's like leaving any light on. Don't think about it much. I've had no problems at 18 hours a day for months at a time. It's a nice little unit.

I have never seen a timer that can be set for more than 6 or 7 hours. Sorry.

I leave mine out for a few hours (2-3). Not sure if that is the recommended but it works for me.

I'm not really understanding the question. Do you mean you have to keep turning it off and on throughout the day? What do you mean 'what happens on the full day'. Please advise so we can more appropriately respond

Get an outlet timer to start and stop any amount of time after you leave for work.

I have several of these hooked to countdown timers made for this purpose. It allows you to choose 10, 20 or 30 minutes that the fan will remain on. This is perfect for when you get out of the shower and leave. The fan will remain on long enough to remove the moisture (or odor, for that matter) and then turn off automatically so it doesn't keep running all day if you have left the house.

I have one too and the timer doesn't work. I quite working after a couple of months. Other than that, it seems to be holding up ok. I don't have a contact number but wish my timer wouldn't have stopped working.

to the best of my knowledge there was no timer option. I would say I am about 75% sure on this. I would check, but I do not have the unit near by.

I don't know. It was in my house for an hour and then back in the box. I think it can stay on. The timer may just be an option...
