does it have to stay plugged in until you let the air out?

No it doesn't. It's holding the air for the last 10 months, amazing. I love this bed.
997417
No. No reason to, except for convenience. This model does not use a monitored active inflation system.

No it does not have to stay plugged in until one lets the air out.You plug it in only to turn on the built in electric pump which fills the air bed with air and it stops automatically when filled and then you unplug it and put the electric cord in the slot at the end of the bed.

No, the inflatable mattress does not have to be plugged in until you let the air out. However, when you first inflate it, I would suggest you keep it plugged in to make adjustments until the fabric settles in. I would suggest that, if possible, the mattress be inflated a few days before you actually need it.

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!

Yes, it has a "power" button, which allows you to leave it plugged in but powered off.

It has to stay plugged in but it has a pretty long cord! Pretty loud!! I don't mind either one though. I'm thinking you could use this with an extension cord. You have to hold this by the handle as you use it. The "can" part gets very hot!

There is a plug you put in. Not sure if it's before or after you fill it with air but we have only filled ours the first time we bought it and it's still great!

Yes, you simply plug it into the charger when you are finished using it. I always kept mine plugged in when I wasn't using it.

Yes, but you will have to know how much to unwind before putting it in. I might only need about half so I will let out half and then put themale end in. I cannot keep taking it out while it is plugged in. Deepening on what you are winding, you could probably leave a few feet of the male end up top.

Yes. You have to keep it plugged in and turned on to keep it inflated (just like a spacewalk/bounce house).

Yes. I usually just leave mine plugged in unless I am going into another room for a short time

Yes, needs to be plugged in. I would recommed looking for a Colman airbed they had a battery powered pump like this one: Coleman Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump(Coleman C001 Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump )

No - it has to be connected otherwise the air will start leaking out and it will deflate quickly.

No, but you could keep it plugged in for use if you were concerned about battery life.
2262182
no it does not stay on while it's plugged in. the light only comes on when you're touching the end of the cord with your fingers.

Yes, it needs to be plugged in. I am sure there are some battery operated models, this one, however, is not one of those.

No it doesn't. But when your phone is plugged in it doesn't stop charging till it's unplugged.
899758
No. The instructions specifically tell you to unplug it immediately after using.
