The manual says you need to unplug between each use. Does anyone actually do this and/or think it is necessary?

Yes, you do. When I do not unplug it, I often accidentally brush it and it turns on without water in it. UNPLUG IT.

We never unplug ours. It automatically shuts off, so I never really saw the need. Never had a problem with it.

Honestly, it sounds like a safety precaution that prevents the kettle getting turned on when it's empty. A better solution, in my opinion, would be to always have an adequate amount of water in the kettle. In that case it would turn on, the water would boil, and then the kettle would turn off.

I do unplug but for my own reasons. I also now drain it and leave it to dry as I've had two replaced because of rusting. Unfortunate and inconvenient but that seems to be helping this time around.

I didn't unplug at first, but it would be warm when I returned after hours (and my house is coooold), so I started unplugging it. It's a pain, but I have to do the same with the coffee grinder (it stays warm as well), so I've got in the habit now.

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 have been using mine for over a year and have never unplugged it, works great.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?

Hi, Not heard of this issue before. I would turn it off remove plug from wall and let it sits for an hour or so then restart.

There should be a setting under the menu to tell it what time to do this, or possibly shut it off entirely. Alternatively, do what my girlfriend does and just unplug it when you aren't using it. Check the menu though, I am fairly certain there is a setting.

I have been leaving mine plugged in, but perhaps I should have read the instructions. My guess is that the battery life would be improved if you unplugged it, but so far mine has not blown up.

Personally I wouldn't recommend it as it has to cool for about 5 after turning the switch off, I've thought about that myself but I figured it wouldn't do any good considering it has to cool off after operation. The manual says not to un plug the unit while it is on. I hope I answered your question.

No. The instructions specifically tell you to unplug it immediately after using.

I believe either is OK. I usually leave it plugged in during frequent use. For storage, I unplug then charge prior to use.

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

I have done it once. First try unplugging it and disconnecting it for 10-20 seconds. This might help you not have to reset it.

There is a timer. however, I always turn off and unplug, as directed by the manufacturer.

I use a heavy duty extension cord, i never unplug the cord. Never had a problem.

Without reading the literature again, I could not say for sure. I always unplug mine when not in use. Hope this is helpful.

I keep mine plugged in all the time but it may not be necessary. I love mine!!

Yes, but for some reason is recomended to unplug the machine when is not in use.

If you need it to be on all the time, then do it, but it's best if you don't use it, turn it off and you may save some power... this just personal opinion. I always turned my off and if I need it, I'll turn it on.
