How long can you run machine continuously?

Not sure, but I have sat there and shredded 4 inch stacks of paper for about 20 minutes before. The machine will get warm and be prepared to empty the bucket frequently. Also, it shreds in long strips ( only vertical cutting) and had a tendency to get jammed if you put on to much paper. Works great for my needs though

I have not tested that. The longest I have used it for is maybe 15-20 minutes. But that's not 100% shredding the whole time.

It doesn't run continuously because it employs an auto on/off switch such that the shredder turns on when paper is inserted, and turns off when its done (provided there is enough room left in the basket for the strips to clear the machine).

I ran it for about 1 hour continuously on one occasion, and it didn't smell or get hot or anything like that. Hope this is helpful.

I've had it running for about ten minutes continuously without a problem, again it is not a heavy duty shredder but 10 minutes 8-10 sheets of paper is pretty solid, so far I love and it's been several months.

I haven't used it for a long period of time yet, but I will after taxes and I shred old papers. The last one I had for many years and it shred a lot at a time and it was OK, so that's why I bought this brand again.

Before I moved, I cleaned out my files and used mine for 4 hours. I would have to stop and empty it, but used it pretty continuously.It still works. I just wish it were larger.

You can use it continuously as long as you are not overloading it. Remember, you have leave a margin for the power surge.

yes you can--I have been running mine 24/7 for almost 2 years now. All you have to watch for are power outages and power flickers, it shuts down right away.

It says that it goes for 30 minutes... But that is if you run it non stop. I can run it for up to 90 minutes, turning it off in between areas.

I don't know about continuous use. We had it in for an hour at a time to pump rain water from empty pool And it worked great.

"This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 5 minutes in any 10 minute period." (Quoted from the instruction manual) -- so the short answer would be yes.

It is set up on a timer. I don't think it would run for an extended period of time.

You can set it to run anywhere from 1 - 12 hours or continuously. It will cycle when it reaches the humidity % set-point.

Afraid I don't have an answer. My 0603 E-Heater is set up on a thermostat and does not run continuously. I would guess the longest it has run continuously is 3-4 days. I am pleased with its performance.

Nah, you can run it 24/7 if you like. It has a thermostat, anti freeze setting and overheat shutoff. I leave mine on 24/7 with no problems. Just make sure you run it on at least a 15 amp circuit.

You can choose to have it on continuously (until shut the power off) OR you can choose to have it run for 10 (?) seconds and then off for 10 (?) seconds (until you shut the power off). I wish you could set it to run for 20 minutes, off for 40, back on, etc. or to run for a period of time and then just shut off, but it doesn't work like that.

Now We supply 0 ~ 60 Min time setting machine also you have option "Continuous Mode". If you set up Continuous Mode, Machine works until you turn off the power.

It runs continuously but you can control it by controlling the air pump. I think that is what I said before but I double checked with someone who uses this a lot. Thank YouMaria

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that question. That said, we've had no problems with our machine and it's been running daily for several years already.
