In the description it says: "[...] also features on/off button". Is that true? Pictures show 'Neewer' box, but Meike Product, looks same?

There's no "on/off" button; just a button you can shoot with if you're shooting with the camera sideways. It looks like the product in the advertisement.

This WARNING is true. Box and mouse design are excellent counterfeits but not real product at all. Had it been real and detected the legacy config program and synapse have an option to turn the 2 LED off or on.

I cannot compare the Nikon to the Meike as I've never used the former. I don't use the Meike much (on my D800, and in the past on a D7000), but it always does exactly what it's designed to do, never had a problem. I'm happy with it. The money saved buying it can go a long way in purchasing some other gear.

As far as I remember, it's a sliding lever/switch, cannot be locked in the ON position and has an auto-off feature. I purchased this for my mom and has served her well.

As already pointed out above and in the (alleged) manual, hit any button except "standby" button. Problem is, no where does it say what or where the "standby" button is. ????

Only the center on/off button lights, the other four buttons are stainless. The on/off button is dim blue when sitting idle / cold. When you press the button to turn it on it turns to bright blue. When it is set for auto start it turns to bright red and stays there as long as it is in auto or hot. I don't recall ever seeing a blinking mode, I'll have to watch closer next time it is brewing. If I notice anything significantly different than what I said I'll update the post. I've had many coffee pots and usually have something that I don't like about it. This one is probably the best I've had so far. I like that it is so intuitive to program that you don't need the manual. The whole top opens up for easy filling and cleaning. It's hard to come up with anything I don't like about it but the closest thing to a complaint is that if you try to pour too fast with a full pot it will dribble. Once you know that just start off slower and it's no problem at all. If you want a good value, nice looking, easy to use coffee pot then you should buy it. If mine ever breaks I'm buying another just like it. Hope this answers your questions.

Not sure about Kenko but the Meike are all plastic. They function with all automatic features and seem to perform very well for me.

The one they sent me does not look like the picture nor do you set the time. It's a one button push on/off or it will automatically turn off after hour. Yes I can turn it on & off with a one button push. The one I received is not as nice as the picture but it works for what I use it for.

The one that worked for 5 months and then started giving me error message is the old design. I ordered a new one and it does have an on/off switch. I saw on the package that it is supposed to have 1 yr warrenty but there is no contact info for it.

Joan, ...to add to what Alan said, the Tare "button" on the right is the manual on button. I've found the auto off especially helpful because it always seems I'm weighing messy things (bulk meat I'm separating into smaller packages, etc.).

There is no on-off button. When you plug in the power supply and connect the low voltage cord to the PM351 box, it is on. The power supply should be unplugged from the 120 VAC wall outlet when not in use.

You are right, this is a switch. However, this product is listed with two others (including a timer), and it looks like Amazon made a mistake by combining all the reviews for all 3 products.

I know, when I got the darn thing, and I couldn't find the on/off switch. It's on the back of the fan. It's a pretty small square button. You'll find it, and when you do it works really well.

The one that I bought would not turn off and there was no direction in the packaging to tell me know. I inquired to the manufacturer and was told to hold the start stop button (I think that was it) and it would turn off. Did not work. Only way to turn it off is to remove the battery, Then was told to return it for replacement. This is a really junky product and I would not recommend it to anyone.

No. The on-off button is a discrete binary switch, either on or off with a firm click. That is the way the switch should be. This is a pocket flashlight. You would not want pressure on the switch to turn this flashlight on in a pocket, glowing through the fabric and draining the battery.

Yep it's the button on the side. Push for on and push for off. My button make a loud click when I push it. Also, you might double check to make sure your unit is charged. I'm very happy with mine.

Company informed me that it was discontinued in 2008. You will also have to buy a replacement eventually, apparently there is a known issue with the on/off button. It stops working. Don't expect support from company...they will only offer a paltry 15% off a replacement. Another company that doesn't stand by its products.
