Does the base have to stay plugged in all the time?

Yes, the base stays plugged-in all the time you are ironing. I like the fact that you can remove the iron from the base and do a lot of ironing without fighting the cord and then place the iron back on the cradle to heat while you are hanging up your garment. I hope to never go back to a corded iron, I really like the Cordless Panasonic.

The base stays plugged in while you are using it. The iron itself goes into the "docking station" to continue to stay hot. You put it in the plugged in part when you normally would stand the iron up to move your clothing to continue to iron. It really is a fabulous idea that I appreciate every time I iron.

Yes,once you attach it you leave it on perminently. I plug it in for about 2-3 hours and I'm good to go for the week. Then I only bring my cord for emergency backup. But I always power it off to make sure to save the Batteries When I'm not using it,

no, it is all the time as long as the unit is plugged in. the only way to disable it is to unplug it.

No. The unit will not stay powered on. As soon as you turn it on, it turns off.

Yes if you want the temperature to be consistent, you will have to leave it plugged in all the time. It takes too long to warm up on an as needed basis. We leave ours plugged in all the time and we love 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.

Yes, I leave mine plugged in all the time. It stays quite cool when not use.

Yes. Just keep it plugged in 24/7 and you wont have to worry about the battery going dead or having to reconnect it.

The unit stays powered all the time. I not checked excessive heating (only a slight heating, that's normal).

I do not know scientifically, but I keep our base unplugged unless it is in use. E.g. Plug in, lift head of bed, unplug. This may not make any difference to our health, but it makes me "feel" healthier. �

I leave mine plugged in at all times. I have two right now that are always plugged in.

No, I think you have to keep it plugged in. I always unplug it when I leave the car. Kind of annoying

probably not but I don't see the need to keep it plugged in all the time. just unplug it when the blue lights are lit.

I believe so, although I haven't had any issues just leaving mine plugged in all the time.

Not always, would burn it up. I do leave it plugged up sometimes when I use it if power gets low with no problem.

No Deborah, at least the model I have does not. It is a little annoying because I have to keep plugging and unplugging it. I feel like they should have added that feature!
