Does this model have auto-restart after power failure? Thanks

Can't exactly speak from experience on that one, but if you have the switches turned to the on position it turns on. Even if you just plugged it in, so i would assume so.

The two switches the owner sets determine the heat setting and the power input. So, yes it does automatically boot up when power returns to the machine. The settings controlled by the owner are mechanical, not electronic. Our unit is in my wife's bathroom in our 108 year old home. She loves it. He room is now toasty warm.

If you mean does it start up again if you blow a circuit breaker, the answer is yes. According to the manual if it overheats and the safety shut off shuts her down it states you need a service center or probably just an electrician to reset the overheat sensor as its located inside the unit. Great heater, though. I go out at night at 11p and set it on 1 1/2bon low and I come home at 7am and my house is 62 degrees while its like 37 outside. I'll update after I get my next electric bill since buying and using the units

Sorry, but it is connected to power and my power hasn't failed. As I said the customer service is A1 and you should ask them for details.

Yes it does. I've had a couple of power outages and it has always come back up to my settings.Tom

The 12000 BTU model of this AC does resume after a power failure. I assume this one will as well as they are same series . By the way I have had my 12000 BTU model for 3 summers and about to start the 4th. It works perfectly .

There is no reset or any user serviceable parts in there. My power unit died too after a couple months. I do not recommend this POS.

Unfortunately it doesn't, and this is the major failure in this machine....I put myself a message to not forget to turn it off but even so I forget it some times....

This model will not have an issue with power failures. Once you have the dial set . It will turn back on and keep running. The models wiith power buttons would not work

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

No. It will power down every time in 90 sec. automatically.It works great for me

Hi Gary. No it doesn't. At least I don't think so - I've returned it and whenever the one I had cut off, it did not restart on its own.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle.I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.

The same thing happened to me after a power surge and outage. I shut down my computer and printer and after wiaiting a few minutes restarted both and have had no more problems.

It restarts but you will have to reset the settings. But just FYI mine broke after 8 months and I no longer have it.

This unit will not power on your computer. It responds to the power status from your computer like any peripheral. Also when you return from sleep or hibernation if you have two screens in addition to your computer it will only wake one of them. This unit crashes several times a week which means it shuts down and there is no way to access the software to restart. You must power cycle the dock manually by unplugging it or restart your computer. It's a great concept by still has major bugs! I'm using it on a Win7 Pro laptop with ALL updates to the dock software and the laptop and still experiencing these issues. Buyer beware. This unit will not power on your computer.

Out of habit, I turn off the power. I have not tried to determine if it has an automatic time-out feature. I suspect that it doesn't.

Not that I'm aware of, I just had a power outage yesterday and the unit remained off

I believe not. You may pause it for a time, for how long I am not sure. Once power is turned off then you have start from the beginning. I researched this question and found no documentation that supports auto-resume. I had and acquaintance years ago that had a Sony and a Phillips portable CD players that would resume where they were when power was cut and then restarted, I always thought that the were malfunctioning. I did not have access to relevant documentation at that time.
