Some dehumidifiers have a timer, others don't. A timer is usually seen as an advantage and is more likely to be included with a slightly more expensive brand or model.

Timers switch the machine on or off or both. A timer will allow you to program between eight and 24 hours ahead, depending on the dehumidifier model you buy.

A timer is included to give the user more control. The reasons they may be used vary from person to person but here are a few of the most common I've come across.

"I use my dehumidifier in a damp bedroom. The noise of the fan stops me from falling asleep but isn't loud enough to wake me. I set my dehumidifier to start running from 2:00am when I'm always deep asleep."

"I don't need a dehumidifier during the day but it needs to run at night to prevent condensation. I just set the timer to cycle on at 8:00pm and off again at 8:00am. That works perfectly for me."

"Dehumidifiers use energy and we use the timer to control the cost. Ours is set to come on, run for two hours and switch off. It does this through the day and keeps us dry without costing so much."

"My dehumidifier is set to come on just before we get up in the morning. I'm a guy in a house full of women, my wife and three teen daughters. You can imagine the steam from the showers! The dehumidifier runs for about an hour after we've all left the house and keeps the condensation under control."

There are 101 reasons why people like to have the timer on their dehumidifier and you can see why some people would not buy one without it.
