Just received. I see there is no "off switch," which I expected. But I assume there is no issue leaving it an "on" state all the time?

Mine is on all the time.The only issue I have is not with the hub, but with Windows. Sometimes it's not loaded correctly by the OS and requires unplugging/replugging to get it recognised property. It's a great product.

I've been running five for six plus months 24/7. No problems. Just keep them plugged in and they go.

I wouldnt expect there to be an issue right away, but I cant help to wonder if it will affect the life of the product down the road.

since i bought the unit about two months ago I have not had a problem with being on all the time

I don't think I've ever seen a hub w/ an on/off switch. As Mr. Williams said, a power strip could be used in conjunction with turning your computer(s), if that is what you do. In my experience, this is a very good product, esp. compared w/ the competition and well worth the extra $$$.

Yes, there IS an off/on switch on the Anker hub, located just below the ANKER name. It lights up when the unit is on. That said, when your computer and its peripherals are off, the Anker hub is drawing almost zero power, only from its LEDs, so leave it on all the time if you choose to.

I unplug mine at the unit. Lack of an off/on switch is a flaw of the unit.Richard

There is no on/off switch. I plug it into an extension cord that has an on/off switch.

may be I did not understand the question well but I have not observed anything like thatThe power switch has 3 modes - which start the light, and then rotates with brighter controls.You have to keep the power switch pressed in order to turn it off

There is not and on/off switch and I don't know the answer to the second question.

Think of this as a big plug that you have plugged into your outlet - when you plug something in- is turns on. So, no, there is not on and off switch. It is always on, the same as any wall plug.

No. There is no switch for "On-Off" function. You can pull the plug to turn it off.

there is no off switch. to turn machine off you have to unplug it. I have been doing this all along, no big deal :)

I leave it on all the time. I don't remember it having a on/off switch. Also the battery lasts months on a full charge.

There is no "off" switch. The unit is always on but "activated" only when the door/window is open/closed.

It's never been an issue with me either. The unit functions perfectly and i have it on the 3 minute setting which seems to over-ride the light sensitive switch.

For me, I ain't have any power on/off issues on mine.You need to check if it has been misused unknowingly.Mine still remain ok.I have two of it, they are very ok

There is an on/off switch. Is it in the on position? Otherwise might be a bad unit (assuming you know the USB port is good).

There is no on/off switch. To do so requires plugging it into or out of the outlet.

I think you turn the dial to turn it off. We prefer to leave it plugged in and at our preferred setting so we turn it on and off with a foot on a power strip we have it plugged into. But to answer your question, no, there isn't an on/off switch.

Pretty sure there is a standby mode (warm) but I believe it's recommended to turn it off if you are not going to use it for an extended length of time.
