Can you leave it plugged in all the time

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.

Yes, we only unplug the unit when changing paraffin. We also turn unit off after dipping. Imagine the mess trying to clean up hot paraffin if the unit falls or tips on carpeting!! Be sure to remove the grate after dipping as it may increase melt time for next use. Don't know if heat would deform grate or not. Hope this is useful.

No you can leave it on all day I just turn mine off to conserve a minor amount of electricity.

You could leave the unit plugged in until you need it but it's not necessary. It holds a charge for a very long time. You won't be disappointed. I purchased this for my husband three years ago for Christmas. He still says this is his favorite present, EVER!

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

Yes, you can leave it plugged in 24/7. If you were not going to start your car for a month, you might want to unplug it, but even then, it wouldn't use enough power to drain your battery. If you have a digital watch, think how long it will run on it's little tiny battery. Just about the same thing with this little voltage meter. I have mine in a boat and I never unplug it.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

Not. It does not have that function. I haves to be plugged all the time. that is one disadvantage that this computer haves but It works pretty well, very contemporary design.

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

Yes,once you attach it you leave it on perminently. I plug it in for about 2-3 hours and I'm good to go for the week. Then I only bring my cord for emergency backup. But I always power it off to make sure to save the Batteries When I'm not using it,

Yes, you can leave it connected all of the time. It'll automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But why would you want to? The charger is always converting 110v AC house current to 12v DC battery charging current. That produces heat and wastes electricity (aka $$$). I unplug mine when the light goes green meaning the battery is charged.

Yes, I leave the power plugged in, and I haven't had any issues. Yes, only the clock remains on. Another good reason to leave it plugged in is if you use the timer function. I can prepare the rice in the morning before I leave for work and set a timer for it. When I return home for work, there will be freshly cooked rice!

Yes. I leave it plugged in since I use it at home. If the battery runs out, it will take some time before it charges enough to use again. I expected it to work as soon as I plugged it in but it didn't.
