Why are they too cheap to include a power cable or even tell people it doesn't have one?

It is ridiculous that they don't tell people that they don't include a power cord. I shipped this to my parents, thinking it would be a great piece of mind for me and them, they really couldn't figure out that an extension cord would charge it up.

It does not require a power cable. It is recharged with a standard household extension cord. A number of companies are now using this method since a lot of people loose the power cords.Joe

A power cord which doesn't affect is use but I guess you need it for the USB plugs on the side

people keep rating this product low because it needs a power supply. They do not hide this fact, it says it right under the technical details!

No, it does not require a power cord. You have to wire it in to the existing connections.

There is a power supply that comes with the device. I was worried about the same thing since it wasn't shown. But it did arrive in the packaging.

The item is shipped without a power supply or any info regarding power supply requirements. I would have returned the one I bought, but, due to circumstances, I did not try to install the unit before the return period had expired. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I am stuck too.

Hey William, when I ordered mine a couple years ago it did not come with the power supply. I got a couple dollar one to go with it.

The one I bought came with the power connector. Sounds like they owe you one.

I think the true fail is no power cord. ("standard" ones don't work - only the very uncommon micky-mouse ears ones do)

It has to get it from the USB because there is no other power supply directly going into it, why is this question even being asked?

You do need somewhere to plug in the power, so if you don't have an outlet within reach of the cable (which is pretty long) you will have to install one.

They don't have their own power source. They feed off of the device's power.

I do not know if the people is buying by mistake but if you do not choose properly the power can suffer damage or can be in shutdown mode for protection.

This one does not, there are others that do. The power supplies are around $15. Depends on the rating in watts you get.

That shouldn't be necessary. If you had read through all of the reviews, it's been stated a few times, that the older power supply- which people were having problems with- has been replaced in this build.

No it doesn't. Just the unit and a power cable. It's still worth it, though. Just my opinion.

No power supply is provided, that's an extra cost accessory. No stand either.
