If you keep it plugged in, does it take up a lot of electricity?

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

Yes, just be sure to buy an AC to DC power adapter. I've had mine plugged in for over a week at times.

No, but you could keep it plugged in for use if you were concerned about battery life.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

probably not but I don't see the need to keep it plugged in all the time. just unplug it when the blue lights are lit.

No... Unfortunately you have to use the plug in. But it is really worth it! :)

Mine stays plugged in with no problems. I do not believe there is any significant power draw unless something is connected to it and is continuously drawing from the invertor. Then that depends on the rating of the vehicle battery rating or reserve capacity and the load drawn from the invertor, up to 120 watts.

No its powered all the time. Has a surge protector too. I have two and will be getting more.

No, it is powered by a cable which is included. It plugs into a standard outlet.

Yes it does have to be plugged into an energy source just a regular household outlet or in my husbands case he uses an inverter in his semi truck to plug it in.

It is not at all powered by electricity. There is a battery operated monitor but I don't think that would be an issue. We don't use that feature anyway.

No it doesn't. Just try to not overload a circuit with a lot of important items plugged into it. Like a desktop

Not always, would burn it up. I do leave it plugged up sometimes when I use it if power gets low with no problem.

Yes, it needs to be plugged in. I am sure there are some battery operated models, this one, however, is not one of those.

No it does not have to stay plugged in until one lets the air out.You plug it in only to turn on the built in electric pump which fills the air bed with air and it stops automatically when filled and then you unplug it and put the electric cord in the slot at the end of the bed.
