does it work when the electricity goes off?

Yes it does. It has no transformer. The ones that don't work are the cordless phones that require a transformer to charge their battery. I bought this phone specifically to use when we lose our electricity as all our other phones are cordless models with transformers, without which do not work.

the phone will work when the power goes out provided that your phone company service is still on. the phone gets it power from the phone company unlike a portable unit that has a base that plugs into a wall outlet.

Yes, unless you have home phone service through a cable provider like Time Warner. It works differently than the phone company's wiring set up.

Hi Christa! Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

If you have it set to low or high there is a light sensor on it that turns the night light on and off. If it is set to power failure mode then the light will only come on when the outlet it is plugged into losses power.

If that were possible, then it wouldn't work. Think of it as testing the unit every time you come home. Or perhaps you could find some sort of remote control for an electrical outlet, designed to turn a lamp on or off, and carry that with you to turn off power to the unit when you come home. But if there is such a thing, be sure it isn't using light for the control, like a TV remote does.

No. It only functions as an emergency light when the power fails or as a flashlight when you unplug them for the outlet.We have them all over our house and would buy them again or highly recommend them!

If you leave it plugged in and the room is dark it will be on. If you don't want it on you unplug it.

yes it does but I usually switch it off when I leave the house so the switch for on /off doesn't work sometimes

No it will not turn back on after a power outage, but you can set it up to turn on and off with an internal timer that comes with this unit,

Maybe. It retains the programming for a period of time after you remove power. I never found out how long though.

No on this unit once the power goes off to the unit the button on the unit needs to be used to turn it on.

No, when your electricity goes out, you need to reset your timer. Easy finger adjustment.

Yes. The manual calls it "intelligent power off" and it apparently happens after 30 minutes even if you're using it.
1972907
Yes....And It does have an energy saving feature if there is no draw on it it automatically shuts off.
1939908
No, after the predetermined time (2,4 or 6 hours) this timer will shut off the power to whatever is plugged into it. Your only other option is off or on all of the time.

No it does not. It only powers on when u turn it on and it actually shuts off if you don't use it for a period of time.

I keep mine in the outlet charging all the time, so if there is a power outage, it will go on automatically for you, and no fumbling for a light.

Yes. It has a thermostat and when it reaches the temperature you've set, it turns off.
