Does this model have the Auto-Restart after power outage function?

Good question. I don't remember reading of this capability in the literature but I went into my den and pulled the plug on the unit, waited for 30 seconds or so, repowered the unit and it cycled on. I highly recommend this unit. It's much quieter and heats better than others. Build quality is better also.

I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

It's been a couple of years now, but as I recall, yes, there are 4 little switches inside module that you match up with the remote. I've not had to reset anything after power outages.

I agree. I see no evidence of this feature in the instructions. But there may be a capacitor in it that holds the settings even though it may be necessary to reset the current time when the power comes back on. Perhaps that is what they mean?

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

No. This is the only problem with this product. It loses the program when the power is out. So you need to redo it. It is easy, but you have to program it again. M

No, it will not automatically power itself off but it will go into deep sleep mode to save the power after xx minute without any opeartion.

Yes... it will turn back on to the EXACT settings as before the power went out!!!

The short answer is "yes". But there is a bit more to it.... You would need to leave the unit plugged in and in the off mode during non-use periods and turn it on during the outage. I live in the tropics and power outages are frequent, mine are both plugged in and in the auto-mode all the time. The batteries are long lasting and the light is bright and therefore it is easy to find the unit when the power does go out. I would recommend the units and buy more.

I believe not. You may pause it for a time, for how long I am not sure. Once power is turned off then you have start from the beginning. I researched this question and found no documentation that supports auto-resume. I had and acquaintance years ago that had a Sony and a Phillips portable CD players that would resume where they were when power was cut and then restarted, I always thought that the were malfunctioning. I did not have access to relevant documentation at that time.

The only time the unit turns off is when the bucket is full of water. It does restart on it's own after a power outage.

It's been quite awhile since I installed my timer and I don't remember now what number it was----but I know that it did take a back up battery. Are you sure your's does not? I've never seen one that didn't? But I suppose that it's possible that the newer models might use a system that won't dump your settings when the power goes off. I haven't researched your model number so I can't say one way or the other for certain.

I own two of these. Yes, they have an auto shutoff function that works consistently.

The unit has retained its settings for me when power is removed. I don't know what the official manufacturer statement would be.

No, the power switch is a dial, so it would be on the same setting when the power comes back on.

Mine re-starts with the same adjusted shut-down settings. If I tweaked a setting while in a earlier saved program, the tweak also returns after power-cycling. There's a clear to "pre-set's" function that returns mine to the earlier saved fixed program settings. I went with another unit and can't recall the menu/page. Their customer service was helpful.

The two switches the owner sets determine the heat setting and the power input. So, yes it does automatically boot up when power returns to the machine. The settings controlled by the owner are mechanical, not electronic. Our unit is in my wife's bathroom in our 108 year old home. She loves it. He room is now toasty warm.
