You will notice no increase in your power bill. When you leave for more than one night, turn the switch off in the back. Just be sure to turn it back on when you get home or you will have no hot water for that first cup of coffee. This is the best coffee pot I have ever had - and I've gone thru a bunch of them.

In addition to Connie's answer, the water will dissipate if you are gone more than a day or so. I have to fill ours up ( no coffee) a time or two to get the water back to the level it's supposed to be.

Can't imagine it makes much difference. I'm more worried about leaving lights on �

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

A regular will do. Since it is heavy duty and does not unplug easily, I usually leave it plugged.

You can leave it plugged in if you wish. I usually unplug it after fully charged and let it sit. It keeps the charge for many weeks.

I don't know about the total power consumption-it uses our regular 120v outlet in our bathroom. Have not noticed any increase in the electric bill...

It is possible to leave it on 24/7. The only disadvantage would be a higher power bill as it would continuously draw power. I usually turn it off at night though.

Several hours. Check the item description. and google the item title for blog discussions for more details. I think it also matters on what you hook up to it, but I'm not certain. It's also ok to keep it plugged in while it is in use.

From iAnker.com's FAQ: Q8. When the charger is plugged into an outlet but has no devices plugged in, will it consume power? What is the standby power consumption? The charger will consume almost no power in this state. Its standby power consumption is rated at &lt;0.5W.

honestly, I'm not sure about that. We don't leave it on if we don't have boots on it. We have it hooked up to a power strip and just flick the switch off when we take the boots off. But I have not noticed my electric bill go up since getting the boot dryer. I personally don't think it uses much power. It does not appear to use much power. I can have my husband look at it though, to see what the watts,etc are if you are interested.

I'm pretty sure you get the benefits, just as long as it's plugged in to the outlet. It doesn't have to be turned on:)

Yes, I leave the power plugged in, and I haven't had any issues. Yes, only the clock remains on. Another good reason to leave it plugged in is if you use the timer function. I can prepare the rice in the morning before I leave for work and set a timer for it. When I return home for work, there will be freshly cooked rice!

I leave mine plugged in. The last one worked for nearly 8 years. It will do 2-3 full haircuts on a single charge

I'm not sure what it uses by just being plugged in. It's max capacity is supposed to be 2400 watts. I have a computer plugged into it that is always running as well as a few other things in my recording studio that always use a little power. I don't think it uses much on it's own. I have 4 of them in different locations and I haven't seen any increase in my electrical bill using them.

That's what I've got it plugged into. Works great (for the power consumption - I only have a 300W supply)!
