Can you leave the base plugged in all the time or does it have to be unplugged after each use? In other words, does it have an on/off button?

This warmer does not have a power button, and will stay warm while plugged into an outlet.

Does not have to be plugged in all the time. Just after using it and every 30 days. I don't know how much current it uses but you can keep it plugged in and it'll stop charging it once it's fully charged

This item does not have an on/off switch. Plugging it in powers it up, and unplugging it powers it down.

You can unplug the unit and it will not operate. If you want to leave the unit plugged in, you can change the jumper settings so it doesn't match the transmitter or turn the volume way down. But there is no on-off switch on the outside of the case.

No, you don't turn it after you plug it in. You screw the base to the top and plug the whole unit in. Works so well for my dog!

You could leave it unplugged. Plug does not detach. We don't use ours in the summer. In the summer we have a 5 gallon metal one we use.

I've had mine a couple months now and do not unplug. I do make certain the base is kept dry... I will point out that the switch does have a very easy "throw" or whatever and I have inadvertently switched it on in passing (more than once!). Fortunately it has a light and I've always noticed it and turned it off right away, but I can see where unplugging it might be safer, especially with multiple people in a kitchen.

I don't know if I have it plugged into a switched outlet so I can't really answer your question. If I unplug it and carry from the bedroom to my study and plug it in it is not still on. However, all you have to do is touch the power switch to turn it back on. The main feature I like is that it shuts itself off at either 30 or 60 minute intervals if I hit the correct switch and this is really good for reading at night when I fall asleep.

You can leave it plugged in. The manufacturer suggests that you unplug it once a month for approximately 30 seconds to reset the sensing circuit.

I unplug mine at the unit. Lack of an off/on switch is a flaw of the unit.Richard

It plugs in and has an off switch. I've had mine for 3 years. My 5 kids and all neighbor kids play it and it still works great.

Sorry I don't really know. I have a habit of always just unplugging it as soon as I'm done so its automatically on next time I plug it in. Lol

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Yes the heater can be turned off or on during the run cycle without unplugging it. Heater is activated by pushing the center button. A light around the button indicates when it is on or off.

It stays on all the time if it's plugged in, I think. There's no on/off switch. It might have some type of internal shut-off when the temp. hits a certain point. I don't know.

No, it does not. I use it in my office when I am working, so It's never unattended and I always unplug it when done. Possibly the o ly thing that made me hesitant about buying it.
