how long can it run before it becomes to hot and you have to turn it off to cool ? can it run continuously?

Thanks for your question. This machine has a commercial quality motor which will operate through normal and rigorous usage and continuos operation. However, like any cotton candy machine, attention should be placed on operating the machine at the optimal temperature and ensuring floss is in the head. If the head is too hot and/or floss runs low, the head will overheat which will melt the floss. As a result, the machine would need to be stopped and the heads cleaned out -- thus, not allowing for continuous operation.

I've never run mine continuously more than a few minutes at a time and then I give it a rest of a few minutes in between runs. You probably should contact the manufacturer .

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

While running on the automatic thermostat feature, does the fan stay running constantly? Will it shut itself off at a time setting? Can you set it shut itself off after four hours of run time?

I am not sure. It gets hot then shuts off - it doesn't stay on long enough to do what I need it to do. I just keep turning it on and off.

You can preset it to run 1,2, or 3 hours, then stop automatically, or have it run without a timer. The packaging suggests you don't run it for more that ten hours at a time, but full it will run much longer than that.

I run it for weeks, it has a temp control so when my room gets to that temp it will turn off so it is not on all the time. Great Heater

I have run mine as long a 4 hrs and it has never shut down. Send it back and get another one.

Botts,This has been edited, sorry... I originally posted that it COULD be run without heat, sorry for any confusion, I was thinking about one of our other ultrasonics. The unit can NOT be run without the heat, but you can adjust it.Hope this helps.Robert

Is can run for a period of time. However, I had mine on comfort mode for a month and stopped working.

It runs for a certain amount of time and then shuts off until you turn it back on. However, it's max time is 180 minutes.

No. It can shut off if it overheats. It is recommended to not run the unit for more than ten minutes at a time to avoid overheating. I have used mine to pump up four trailer tires that were low from setting for a long period of time. I was able to complete all four within 20-30 minutes without any problems. I just let it cool off for a few minutes after two tires, then start on the other two. It worked just fine.

Yes, it does work continuously without any interruption to cool, but I have never used it more than an hour continuously, just to take a good care of it...

Machine can run without the heat turned on. I think it will shut itself off if you let it stand for too long.

There is no temperature control, as it is not needed. It keeps it at a steady 110 degrees (I believe), so it is within your range. And it will run as long as you have it plugged in. Hope that helps! :)

Yes it should turn off unless it is set to continuous run. I run mine all the time, over a year now, the fan run even when it runs a defrost cycle.Overall I am happy with the unit, could use a bigger one but this works fine in my 4foot crawl space.

never tried that, but I think it runs a little hot. I have learned what temps to set it too. And btw, I love it.
