Yes, we have it plugged in our master bathroom. But it is very noisy. I don't think we could sleep it if was plugged in our bedroom. Also, you cannot put it "inside" of a drawer with a plug, or "inside" a cabinet. It needs to be ventilated. So, it has to be plugged and put "on top" of something. We have it on the edge of our Jacuzzi bathtub in the master bathroom, and need to shut the door and so we don't hear it from our bed. We do have a large bedroom and the master bath is about 23' from the headboard of the bed, so shutting the door is enough to exclude the sound of the cooler. Keep that in mind!

It has to be pluged to a power source continuously which is inconvenient. When a cooler is not pluged in, the content will get to ambient temp very quickly.

I don't use mine continuously. I do use mine frequently for up to 10-14 days continuously. It goes from my SUV to a hotel or our RV. I have not flown with this unit yet so I am not sure of airline policy. I truly recommend this cooler. The fan will rattle if it is placed on an uneven surface, such as a slanted auto seat. I set mine in the floorboard. It doesn't draw much power since I have left it running in my SUV for over 4 hours without it effecting my auto battery.

Manufacturer inform that can be run continuously but always entering water to the pump (if NOT the pump suffer or be susceptible to damage). My particular opinion,must be run intermittenly.

Yes....its truly continuous. You can switch it to pause if you want to take a break.

That is what this product claims to do... However it did not seem to work. Not sure if you have to continuously use it for a long period of time.

Yes, the air pump is meant to run continuously. You can adjust the amount of air being produced with the adjustable dial on the pump according to your needs.

I'm looking to replace my Braun hand mixer that I've had for over 10 years. I know my "older version" definitely said to not run it continuously. It needs to be used in a sort of pulsing action. I have used mine primarily for the chopping and food processing for which I find it indispensable. Even with a family of 6 there are countless ways it is more practical that my large, bulky food processor.

I use this pump to drain ponds and do water changes. I have never run it continuously except if a pumpgoes out in by ponds. I just use it to keep water moving until I can put in a new submersible pump. It isa powerful pump though. May ask the manufacturer if it can be used on a continuous basis..

no. you have to switch it on and off. it lasts forever and is handy for one or two people.

It is depending of the use, if you use it every day the maintenance could be weekly. It you just used it often. Then give it monthly.

I think it would be good for that purpose. However, I have not used it for extended periods of time, so I can't say if it gets tiring to use.

I am not sure if it has a "continuous" mode, because I do not currently have it with me, however it has a timer, so that you can set it to the length of time that you prefer.( e.g. 15 min, 30 min, etc)Because it is a therapeutic device, you would want to limit yourself to a period of time; it is not intended for continuous use. However, it is very easy to set it for a length of time, then turn it on again.

I left it on but it's not really designed for constant use, and I ended up having to replace it - I now have a Therabath Professional unit that can stay on all the time with no problem.

I am not sure what you mean by continuous. What application are you using them for?

No it would not be considered continuous duty, because it's only 9 hours a day. But you can run it continuously without a problem.

I don't know. I've not had any problems with mine. I keep it running continuously.
