I read a review about a device like this which had a timeout to save batteries. The users found it disappointing. Does yours stay on?

Mine has always worked whenever I used it which is quite sporadically so I assume it is always on. I love mine!

It works well for an hour or two when it is not plugged in. It will keep working throughout the night with good batteries. The flow is less consistant and it gets worse as time goes on. It works best plugged in.

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...

This unit will stay on, but after several idle minutes it will go into a power saver mode, the LCD readout will go dim and will stay that way until the unit is used again. If you turn the unit off, the readout goes into clock mode displaying the current time. For the price this is a very good item!

Did not have unit long enough. But from what I saw. You needed to turn on and off to save the battery, but believe when not in use very little battery drain occurrs. So day to day I was not going to turn it off and see if I could get by with 3-4 days w/o a charge.

Something is wrong with it. Mine works very well and it stays when I want it to. It's really an amazing product. Sorry yours isn't working, but it might be worth trying again.

I had no luck finding one. I ended up returning the device since it would not hold the charge for more than 5 min. Good luck with yours through.I have been battling for 2 months to get my refund. SVC the company that sold it, is not so good at customer service:(

No. I had deliberately left it on to test my battery life and it stayed on for hours without issue.It will step down from the highest setting to the next when it is too hot. I think the boost will only lasts 15mins then it steps down to High and after some time it will step down to medium and stay at medium.

Can anyone confirm that this device has built-in battery? Mine would stop working when unplugged from 110v outlet.

It turns off and stays off until you turn it back on again. There's a 30 minute option as well.

We purchased this item but have had difficulty using it. I put batteries in it and it did not work. In fairness I have not spent a lot of time tryimng to figure out what is wrong. But than should I have to spend time trying to "fix" it?

Although I read about this sort of thing from some other reviewers, I did not have this problem. I added the charged batteries, turned it on, and it worked. I don't know if there's a remedy other than exchanging the product. Sorry.

I just timed mine and it takes a full minute before it times out. I've never felt that the time to power down was too short.

Honestly, I have bought one of them, but it did not work for me because the battery can only be used within 30'... Maybe it is my computer problem. Hope this helps.

I had a problem with it not staying on and found out that you have to have really expensive batteries in it to work well. Maybe if you haven't done so already is to upgrade your batteries to lithium batteries or rechargeable nicads. And make sure they're in properly because the + and - indicator signs or very small in the battery department. Hope that helps.

Yes, I have. I mainly use it for my phone and I've noticed that it shuts off automatically and stops charging. Despite having (presumably) charged all night. I'm getting ready to return it.

The person I purchased this unit for, leaves it plugs in at all time. She unplug unit for several day while on vacation, and the battery died. So I suggest you leave unit plug in at all time to preserve the battery life.
