Can you set the timer to run for longer than 30 minutes? What's the longest time you can set it for? I'd like to set it for 2 hours, would that work?

yes . I have mine set to come on twice a day . Once in the mornings for two hours and back off afterwards and then in the evenings for seven more hours and back off until the cycle starts over again the next morning . I suppose you could set them to come on for up to twenty three and a half hours a day if you wanted . I thank they have a minimum setting of thirty minutes on or off time . I hope this helps .

You set it by the time, so for each time period you decide if you want the power on or off. I think it's 15 min intervals

It's a 24 hour timer....I don't see why it can't be set for up to 23 hours and 50 minutes. I really like this timer. It's small and easy to set.

You can set it to run as long as you want in 30 minutes intervals. So to answer your question yes you can set it for two hours!

yes, no problem. It has small blocks, each reprensent a 30 minute period, so if you want 2 hours, just leave 4 consecutive blocks down and it will be on for just 2 hours. Personally I have a fan connected and it's set to run for 1 hour then stop for 30 minutes then 1 hour and stop for 30 mins, etc.

If you press the timer control until you get 5 yellow lights, it will run for 30, then off for 15 minutes at a time. You can google the instruction manual and get all the time settings.

It has a self timer built in for one to three hours. It is not designed to come on every 30 minutes. Sorry.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

I has a timer with a "stay on" option I suppose you could put it on "stay on" and use a wall timer. This thing is very heavy duty. I doubt seriously you'll want to run it 4 hours every day.

There is a 30 minute timer. You can just reset it if you want a longer session. You only have to turn the timer dial to do that.

Hi Laura, It took me awhile to figure out how to set the timer. (I actually had to read the instructions!) But now it's no problem! Hope this helps, Sarah

Checked my timer. Probably 45 minutes is the shortest time. There is one tab that turns the timer on and another to turn it off. Looks like the two won't fit closer than 45 minutes apart.

I don't believe there is a timer. If it only works for 30 seconds, I would say it is bad.

No you can't for this model. The timer is for one hour. You push a button to turn it on. You can manually turn it off by pushing the button, but if you do not it will run for 1 hour. Hope this helps.

You can set it for:50 min (constant on)2 hours (15/15)3 hours (15/30)5 hours (15/60)7 hours (15/90)9 hours (15/120)The numbers in parentheses are seconds running/seconds off.

If set on one hour you can press the button and advance thr timer to two hours, press it again it will go to three hours, press again and it goes to four hours. When at four hours pressing the button resets the unit to off. If you unplug the unit it resets itself to off.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

No, you have to press a button to set the timer - for 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours at which point the fan will turn off. You can't set it to turn on.

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.

I apologize, I'm not sure I understand your question. The timer can be Set to run up to 60 minutes. If you want it to run continuously, I'm sure there is a way to disable the timer function.

No, it is strictly a count-down timer. You can manually change it after the 2 hours, but cannot program it to change for you.
