Does the heating start up at the programmed time or does it start earlier to be at the set temperature at the start time?

Starts at programed time. It comes on in the morning and at night at the time I have set it to come on. I don't know about the other answers here but I can set mine in the Winter to come on after the temperature drops 1 or even 2 degrees below the set point - this stops the thermostat from cycling on and off with just a very small change below the set point - great to be able to do this. You can do the same for the Summer time settings. I LOVE this thermostat.

The thermostat has an Auto Recovery feature. The manual describes it as follows: "Auto recovery - allows heating and cooling systems to gradually recover from an energy-saving setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature. Auto recovery calculates the time needed to adjust the temperature to the next program setting. When the thermostat is in Auto Recover mode, the display will flash alternating messages of RECO and the time. Auto Recovery can be disabled by sliding the recovery switch on the back of the circuit board to the disable position."

It starts when the temp hits the set temp. If the unit is set @ 70 for the winter, the unit will not cycle on until it drops below 70. In the summer if you want it at 68 the units kicks on at 69. It is not a "smart" device but you can set presets for the week and week end. I've had my unit for about 5 years. It has worked well and was about $50.

You can program it for a short time or a full 8 hours. It has an auto turn off for safety in case you forget after the set time. I love this warmer!

It is automatic. If the temperature you set is higher than ambient, it goes into heat mode and that circuit is energized. If it is lower, it goes into cooling mode. There is an adjustable cooling time delay. The indicator light near the word cooling flashes during the delay, and becomes constant after the delay has timed out.

Yes, you set the temperature level you want and the length of time you want it to run and it shuts off when the time is up. To change the time or temperature after you start it just click it off and you can reset either or both time and temperature. We own three different sizes and use them all. Best we have ever found.

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.

Hi - the heater has it's own thermostat that measures the room temperature and cycles the heater on/off, it is adjustable. if you set the heater T-stat at a high setting (ie. 90 deg.) the heater will turn on when power is sent to it. I us the heater in my un-insulated two bay garage (28' x 24' x 11' ceiling) and it heats it up to a comfortable working temperature quickly ( 20 - 30 min.) depending how cold it is to start. regards - WH

Yes, it is a great feature in my opinion. You can always manually change the temperature, then at the time of the next "time period" in the schedule it will automatically return to programmed settings.

You program it to stay warm from 1 to 4 hrs, have never tried to reheat it,so I not sure on that

Yep, if you have the power switch set in the on position it will turn on right away, it also has a thermostat that will kick it on and off. Very nice little heater, puts off plenty of heat in a medium sized room

I haven't had that problem. My thermostat follows the schedule I've programed. There may be a problem with your unit.

No delayed start on this one, it has a programmable timer that auto switches to keep warm either once it reaches temp desired or time desired.

the temp does not change much, small room will warm up pretty fast. never used it for more than 8 hrs. You can program it to suit your time.

There are 4 zones that you set which are morning, afternoon, evening and night. The system can be overrode at any time however when the next zone hits it will automatically adjust to that temp that is programmed.

The preheat is a manual feature. You cannot set the time it comes on. There is an "auto-off" button that you can set and the heat will turn off after 10 hours. The preheat will warm the bed up fast and will stay on for 30 min then the control goes back to whatever you set it to. There are 20 heat settings to use. We have found this product to work quickly and has been wonderful during Minnesota winters.

It is my understanding that it is supposed to be set then it turns off once it reaches said temp. Then when it drops it turns back on. This model I bought did not. I'm sorry about the vauge answer. I was just disappointed with the initial faults, I had to send it back.

You would have to set the unit to the desired cook time and once it has reached the time, it will switch to Warm.

You set the temperature you prefer and the time (for example, 4 hours on High). After that it automatically goes to Warm for 8 hours. If you just turn it on I think Warm is the default until you select a temp. Hope that helps.
