Can you leave the male end plugged in when you wind or unwind the cord.

You need to unplug before winding or unwinding as there is no rotating electrical joint.Typically you have 8' extending from the pail on the plug end and store that in the top of bucket while you wind or unwind.Works great once you use it and get used to it.

You can if you have the male end on the outfeed of the winder. If it's in the lid part of the pale then you can't.

NO you cannot leave it plugged in . . . the cord will twist while winding or unwinding the reel. I have about 4 ft. of excess cord at the male end reserved to reach several high outlets. This excess is wraped around the top section and I secure it with the handle during storage.

Yes there is a continuous cord that hands off of one side that is alway exposed. It does not hang down too far and hasn't been a nuisance to me since I put it against the wall.

You could leave it unplugged. Plug does not detach. We don't use ours in the summer. In the summer we have a 5 gallon metal one we use.

i leave mine set to on. all my equipment is run through a panamax power conditioner, which i turn off and on as needed. either way its a fantastic piece for the price tag.

I leave mine plugged in constantly. It is pressure sensitive and heats up once your cat goes inside. The cord is designed for outdoor use. I feel safe keeping it plugged in.

You can leave the power cord connected to the speakers, but i recommend unplugging them from the power source after use. Especially for the price, you don't want them to mess up on you. But this is a great buy and with great customer service as well.

No it does not have to stay plugged in until one lets the air out.You plug it in only to turn on the built in electric pump which fills the air bed with air and it stops automatically when filled and then you unplug it and put the electric cord in the slot at the end of the bed.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

unless its got a diode internally yes, otherwise as soon as the wind stops the electricity will go the other way and you've got a fan instead of a generator.

I put the male side of the cord though one of the holes that has the second small hole on each side and kind of "clipped" it there. If it wouldn't stay then I would hold that end of the cord there and just start winding it around. Hope that helps.

It only has to be plugged in when you are inflating it. When you are done it unplugs and you put it when you want.

I assume that would be ok, just keep it out of the weather. I leave mine plugged in for long periods of time, but mine is indoors.

Yes you can wind the cord any way you like. I have one wound with the male end on the top and another with the female end on the top. With the male end on the top you leave the bucket near the outlet and pull (unwind) the female end of the cord to where you need power. This is more typical. The other way the bucket sits near where you need power and you pull the male end back to where you plug it in. I have several of these buckets. They work great. No more tangled cords. They store easily and you can stack them.

You can leave it plugged in. The manufacturer suggests that you unplug it once a month for approximately 30 seconds to reset the sensing circuit.

Yes you can. Just disconnect the main plug in chord and electric connection

You don't have to unplug it. I keep mine plugged in with no problems. Nothing remains running. I'm not even sure why it says that.
