NoTimer? How come this unit doesn't come with a timer and so, do people just keep it on all night so they have time for their morning tea or do they turn it on in the AM after they wake up but before they're ready to leave home??

There is no timer. I just plug it in a little in advance. The water will be ready in around 10 minutes.

After the timer turns off you have to set it again. The longest timer is 180 min. There is no setting to keep it on all night.

There are other Marpac sound conditioners that offer timers, if you really want that feature. I, personally, think that it's best to keep it on all night - it helps me sleep soundly and more deeply than I used to sleep, all night long (as opposed to just leaving it on for a little while to help me fall asleep, and then having turn itself off - I feel like I'd be woken in the middle of the night without it on.)

I believe the timer is easy to set and operate. It has a touch pad to set the volume, one to set the time and one to stop and clear. The time screen is the largest I have seen on any timer. After showing her initially, I don't believe she will have a problem. I love mine!

Your question is oddly worded...but yes, you can set a timer, heating your tea (say) for 70 seconds.

It it has a clock I've never seen it. No clock. You can program the noises to shut off after a certain amount of time has elapsed or set it for continuous.

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.

just purchased this and have not set any daily modes for the week, but activated the vacation security mode to see how the random on and off light feature worked. I've also set the day and correct time in this unit,, so far for the last 2 nites, the unit has turned on the lamp at around 6PM but I've manually turned off the unit late at nite before I go to bed because it stays on. during the day, it stays off. I can only surmise that I have to set on and off times for each day & that the random timer works off of that,, otherwise it does not appear to do the random on and off.

The alarm goes off for about 60 seconds (I've never timed it. I seems to last a long time.) It's plenty of time for me. If you want to go take a shower or something, though, you could miss it, I suppose.

nope, it is just a simple analog clock. unplug it and the clock does not retain any memory. all in all though, this thing does a good job, we use the timer, 5am - 9am on 5pm - 9pm on, rest of time in off position.

It functions as a timer and can be set to go off 8 hours (more or less) so it will ring as an alarm. If you are going to bed at 10:00 p.m. and wish to awaken at 7:00a.m. just set the alarm to go off in 4 hours. I hope this is what you are asking. Even though I have never used the timer as a clock, I can set it to ring at any specified time. Does this help?

It is easy to set the alarm and once set, the alarm time is retained by the unit. However, you have to turn the alarm on every night. When you turn off the alarm in the morning, it is turned fully off and not just reset to alarm the following day.

Yes, as soon as I wake up (at this time of year it's still dark at 6 a.m.) I use it and I set the timer for 30 minutes and use the ion thing too. It really wakes me up and gets me going. But I had to change how I use it in the late afternoon when it starts getting dark and gloomy because it was causing me to stay awake at night. So you will have to experiment until you find the right combination that works for you. You should begin with the shortest settings to see how that goes for you. Please read the instruction book that comes with it because people with certain disorders should not use it at all. Good luck!

Yes. I have the same one as the picture as well. I think it does 4 increments of 3 minutes and then it shuts off or you can turn it off. If you switch the style (solid light to a blinking light) it will basically start the time over. I've fallen asleep with it sitting on my face lol and it buzzes when it shuts off so you're good!

Ouch, this question is good mine works good, 24 time during night time, and morning hours with nomal time as you see it for p.m but is for morning, if you some more question ask me, I didn't buy for time but I have it front of my bed, when is 4:00 a.m I just see the time is correct. Great sound for small room actually. Hope you like it!

That's the biggest problem with this item. You have to be at the time you want and you set the hours you want till the next feeding & turn on. I have 2 units, one set for 1:30 am & pm and the other at 7:30 am & pm. They each lose 1-2 minutes every day & need to be reset at 1:30 & 7.30. Using 2 units at 12 hrs means I only have to fill them every other day. I hope this helps and is not too confusing.
