Does anyone else's... Are we the only ones who MUST be sure to turn this thing off when not in use?

I just wanted to say we had the SAME problem! We finally figured out it was the AC / heater- the Zebra was position in such a way that every time the AC or heater would kick on, it would move the little spinny thing in the front ever so slightly.. but it was enough to trigger it to go off. Once we moved it.. it was fine.. but it drove us crazy for weeks figuring out why it did that!

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

Agree! mine turns off itself once in a while or loses connection. To this point I can still live with it. I like it so much!

Yes! But I hope yours will turn off. Mine will not. The on/off button is broken!!!!

We turn off & on with every use. Even perfection may have accidents. If all your water boiled out, etc and you needed your machine, what then. We have ours plugged into a dedicated serge protector which we flip on and off. Works good for us.

Do all of yours make that clicking noise when it is on? It seems like it shouldn't make that sound?

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

Good question! I never leave mine on when finished so I have always had to turn mine on when opening back up.>

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

I have not had a problem. However, I do not leave my computer and monitor running 24/7. But I do use it for extended periods of time without an incident.Thanks,B

It depends on your model. Some have timers, if yours does not you must manually turn off!

Mine does sometimes, but it's usually just for a short time after I first turn it on and begine using it, when it *does* happen. It does *NOT* happen all the time.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.

No, I leave it on all of the time. even if the equipment if off, I leave it on to do its job (prevent line spikes etc.),

not sure, but it seems others have the same idea i do, turn it off at nite.

No not that I know of. I never leave mine on for long. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mine does that once shortly after I turn it on ...but not afterwards. Every few minutes? Lord
