Does it work when it is plugged in and charging?

No, you are not able to shave with it while it is charging, because of the design.

i didn't try that way, i think that it's not possible, because the charger is a wall plug, i u want to use it like that you have to plug into an extension cable, but i don't thing that it will work, like all the electric devices (drills, screwdrivers, etc, didn't work while charging)

I don't think you can as the charger plugs into the wall. The directions tell you to charge it before you use it. I don't know how long a charge lasts, but it has not been an issue for me. I've used it three times without a charge.

It works @ 50% capacity! The battery don't hold up. Can't finish shaving before it "peters out". No matter how long I charge it, it doesn't last. I suspect either the battery is defective or old to begin with. I'm really happy that Amazon replaced it with a better one though. That's why I like Amazon. I can shop and buy with confidence and peace of mind.

The charger is a brick that you plug straight into the wall, not a cord or anything you could use while shaving if that's what you're asking. The shaver sits on top of the brick when you plug it in.

No, I just charge it after I use it and let it sit until I use it again. Seems to work for me.

i believe i have seen it work after plugged on an empty battery.(cannot check for sure at the moment, but i believe i've seen this behavior.)

Yes, it does charge while you use it. It will charge regardless of what your doing, just like if you were using your phone while its charging. A standard charger and cable is used in conjunction with this.

I usually keep it charged when using it, so I'm not sure if it does or not.

Works fine while plugged in. However, I'm not sure it is actually charging while working.

I just tried mine to double check and it works while plugged in as long as it's powered on before you plug it in.

I've charged it while I have something plugged into it. I don't know 100% that it was actually charging the Jackery, but it charged my devices.

If there isn't even a blue light that comes on when it's plugged in then yes it's broken. It should work even if it's just plugged in... but the blue light indicates if it's charging at all.

Yes and no. It needs to be plugged in to charge the device but after its done charging. You can used it without it being in the plug in.

Mine does. My issue is that it doesn't indicate "charged" - just keeps charging until you unplug it.

Yes it does play while charging. I play it all night long while it's plugged in.

No you have to turn it on and off each time or it will die. You can plug in and use it but for some reason mine doesnt charge as fast as the battery on it is depleted. I think it could just be my charger though

It does not charge when plugged in. Only down side! Mine works great...have had for about 2 weeks

Yes it works plugged in. I have never picked it up and found the battery dead. While using, if the battery needs charging, a red light comes on to indicate it needs charging. So when I am done using it, I plug it in. I have not yet had it die while using. Good battery life.

Yes! I've charged my phone or my iPad while it was plugged into the wall! Just don't forget to push the on button or else it won't charge whatever is plugged into it
