Is it possible to have the unit plugged in and running at the same time...say to a wall outlet...without its charging base?

The plug is attached to the charging base and not the hand held cleaner. It was built to be used cordless.

Its cahrger is detachable and not design to use while charging. I dont think this works while plugged in. And most of the battery powered vacuums are not functionable while charging. I did return mine already since it losss its suction power quickly and not as handy as it looks.

The unit is totally portable and has no umbilical cord. It charges when placed on its power base and thus, when you lift it for use, it is totally untethered. Unlike other battery vacs, this one is the most powerful and it's LI battery lasts quite awhile.

It needs charging from mains via an adapter - will run for quite while on one charge.

I guess so it can be done. The unit can be charged via regular power outlet and using computer (USB port)

The unit can be charged and discharged at the same time if that is what you are asking.

You cannot charge and use it simultaneously. If it's on when it's charging, the battery will become damaged.

Yes, you can. We had two units for a long time together. They didn't interfere right away with each other. I think we have someone that moved into our neighborhood that has another unit that is interfering with ours. We just purchased a new unit this week actually to replace one of ours in our set of Mobi's. The one that we replaced also was having battery issues. It would barely hold a charge for more than a few hours. :( The second unit is still running strong though!

Yes, you will be able to use this as if it is plugged directly into the wall. It will not only power it but also charge it slowly while you are using it.

Hi, no. I own 2 in one space and both must plug into a power source independently.

Yes, you can do that and it will still function. However, if you know how to do that, you must also know how to install a regular outlet to plug it into.

yes it can work and charge at same time. charging it requires powered usb port. you can get a usb port for charging that connects to wall outlet if you don't have a nearby powered usb port.

There is a DC IN port that will allow the user to charge the battery while actively powering and using the device just like cell phones. In fact I'm doing it right now before taking my speaker to work.

You can but your power consumption has to be very low, add a battery and then you can run some stuff, charges kind of slow though.

Although I don't recall the instructions saying that you can do this, I suppose that you could. However, since they do not provide a wall charging adapter you'd be taking a risk of killing your battery and controller. I'm not sure why you would want to do this though. It's simple enough to just plug your controller into your One and disconnect when you want to play. Since the One will still charge in standby mode your controller will always be ready to use. I've had 0 problems with this product.

Just plug it right into the wall outlet and let it charge on its own. It is so much faster and easier to do it this way.

Yes, that would be how you do it, unless you would prefer to use an independent battery charging unit.

Yes you can. The charger base has an adaptor that pops out of the back to plug in a wall outlet. That is mainly how I charge mine. The car adaptor is nice when your away for a quick charge on the fly. Hope it helps. Works great for me.

Yes, you we'd need an extension cord to power the unit. I had an outlet installed for neatness and not to stumble on the extension cord, regularly.
