No timer. Need to buy a separate plug in timer. My order page offered a compatible unit at the time.Try ENVo heaters also as they have a protective shroud around the unit and work great! I saw them in Popular Mechanics after purchasing these units here. I think they can be found on Amazon as well.

no timer, but I put it on a Honeywell programmable line thermostat which works great. it's even compatible with their redlink service so I can change its settings online

It has a visible on off switch. I believe a timer could be plugged into the outlet the same way you would with your household lamps.

There is a timer of sorts on this unit. You can adjust how many hours you would like the unit to run (only 1 hour increments). So instead of setting a timer for 3:30 - 5:30, you would turn it on at 3:30 and set for 2 hours. Hope that makes it clear.

It turns itself off automatically after a short period of time then comes back on - comes on and off on its own. Or you can just turn it off. There is not a timer you can set. I would have liked to have it stay on longer and have more control over how long it stayed on or been able to give it more power. For its price it does not emit as much aroma as I expected though I think it is attractive

I did not put the unit on a timer, but is is on a switch. However due to the low power usage, I just leave it running all the time, to keep fresh air in the laundry room.

Yes, There are 3 settings: on, off, and timer. On will keep it on until you turn it off. Timer leaves it on for 5 hours and will turn it on for another 5 hours the next day.

I just bought this item from a local store. It does not have a programmable timer option. It only has a sleep timer and an auto shutoff timer, but not for changing the channels.

I haven't used a timer. I don't think that it would very effective if you could figure out how to hook one up. The on-off button has to be physically pushed. Also, the batteries don't last long before a new recharge is necessary.

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

I am not aware of a timer. I do know that this heater is finicky.....turns itself off without any notice and it is sometimes difficult to get it going again. We cannot seem to understand how to CONTROL THE CONTROLS!!! Frustrating. Purchased last year and used for 5 months. It is still in the box in storage now, and I am using hairdryer in place of heater this year.

No you have to push the button on the top to turn it on and then the timer begins and shuts off on whatever setting you have it on 30min, 3hr, 6hr.

There is no timer for this one. You have to manually turn it on/off. There is a time meter in the form of 8 LEDs that go on in 15 minute increments up to 2 hours.

No it does not have a timer. It will automatically shut off when the battery runs out. Usually the battery lasts for 6 to 8 hours depending on use.

No they don't have a timer. Also every once in awhile 1 or 2 will come on by themselves and you have to manually turn them off!

I never used the timer...so I guess you should be able to disable it. Wish I could be more helpful

There is a timer. however, I always turn off and unplug, as directed by the manufacturer.

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... . .

No timer on our model. It works fine for a few minutes then stops for no apparent reason.
