Is there any reason why you can't turn off the Vacation Switch in the morning, then back on at night to save electricty?

You can do this however, you defeat the purpose of having hot water when you need it. I t takes a little whild to heat up just like a warter heater. Hope this helps.

We turn ours on and off to save energy. Turn on 15 mins prior. Works great.

It depends on how long you want to wait for your coffee! You would have to wait for the machine to heat the entire reservoir to make the coffee. Plus the cost of reheating, rather than maintaining the hot water, would probably be close the same. The bigger problem with your solution for me, would be waiting 10-20 minutes (my guess) to get the water hot enough to make good coffee. J Jansen

You can do this without a problem - other than the wait of 15+ minutes over 3 minutes to get your coffee. My solution to the same problem has been to buy an $8 3-pin mechanical timer that comes on at 5:30am and switches off at 10am. This allows coffee with a 3-minute wait during only the times that drink coffee both weekdays and weekends. I don't know if the environmental damage from the manufacturing of the plastic and metal timer are worse than that from the generation of unneeded electricity from a coal plant (I suspect that this would depend on how many years I use this machine) but it makes me feel a little less like a planetary leech (-: You can do this without a problem - other than the wait of 15+ minutes over 3 minutes to get your coffee.

You sure can. The only thing is that you will have to wait in the morning for the pot to heat. They do not take much electricity to keep the water warm. The morning speed of making coffee is the best reason (3 Minutes) is what you buy the Bunn for, besides making restaurant quality coffee.

I would imagine you could. I find it takes about 20-30 minutes for the coffee maker to properly prepare the water for the next batch of coffee.

none that I know of. I turn it off and on frequently. The only thing is you just need to wait for the water to warm up.

We recommend turn it off after usage, since the panel is not designed for 24/7

Yes, leave the light switch in the on position. No need to ever turn it off.

I don't see why not, set it for turning off at 11:59 then Turn back on at 12:00

Yes you can turn the night light to the off position and use it for power outage only.

When power is restored the switch goes back to the off state. i Just tested it 5 times.

The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. It's low heat so I leave mine plugged in all day.

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle.I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

Since it cuts the power to the box you are plugging the main unit, you could probably turn it off but not on from the main unit.

Yes, I set it to go on and off when I go to work. I set it from 10:00 to 12:00 and then again from 2:00 to 4:00. (They only come with two sets of pins but you can always order more.) When I get home I switch it to On and set it back to Auto when I leave in the morning. I saved a 1/3 on my electric bill not leaving it running all day.

If you don't mind that the back light will not be constantly on, you can run this thermostat off of batteries. If you have the wire providing power to the thermostat, you can set the back light to stay on which is very nice at night. The batteries at this point provide backup, but then if there is no power, the fan in the house for the HVAC system wouldn't be working either. It's just there in that case to hold settings including the time and date.

I think it is only for setting up the time of switch on and the time of switch off during the day or the week. It may not allow to only set up for running 45 mins.

I just put the switch to ON and left it. I didn't turn it off at all. It recharges during the day and then shines at night. I am not sure why they even have a switch. On mine I would have to take the top off to get to the switch, anyway, and since it is on a tall post that would be difficult. Dave L.

There is an on off switch. They are either on or off, It is not a day/night setting scenario.

No. Each night you set it (one button push if you're keeping the same time) to go off the next morning or whenever. If you don't want it to go off on Saturday morning, just don't push that button the night before.
