Can this be turned on without closing the lid?

I wasn't really sure but just tried and it worked whether the lid was open or closed.

The Open and Close buttons require the item to also have working batteries. Without batteries, you must manually open and close the lid.

Yes the lid can be removed but not an easy on and off. I remove it to clean occasionally. Best can going!

Yes. The unit has the ability to turn this off. Although if off you must press the lock button or turn the lock everytime.

No, you can still turn it on manually. The programming will resume. We really liked these!

No. You can turn on and off as you please. The timer is just an added option.

Yes but you have to restart it manually. You cannot relax as you have to keep turning it on.

This may have be something you can control with Power Options in Control Panel. You want what is commonly referred to as "Clamshell Mode". See if there is an option that says "When I Close the Lid"; change to "Do Nothing". I see another user already indicated this.

No, it can't. You can use it as a lamp at any time, but it will only gradually turn ON, not OFF. Sorry.

Yes there is a button to manually turn on However I do not know how long it stays on, I am pleased the way it works automatically by humidity

No it cannot. Needs to plugged in to keep it charged and ready to use if you were to loose power that way you would be able to open close door on a limited basis until power was back online.

Unfortunately, no. I tried plugging it into a timer for that very ability. That didn't work because once the power is off the start button needs to be pressed to turn it on.

No, but it is a little difficult to click the lid on properly while pot is hot.

There is an on and off switch on the side of the player. Lid can be closed. Everything can be run through the remote control.

I don't think so. It's hard to tell being that the cover is closed. I suspect it puts it in sleep mode but doesn't turn it off.

Yes you can with the turn off button. It still has a little trickle out of the head, but it does shut it down. I have found it to be very good.
