AirFree states the item should never be disconnected. Then they say to disconnect item to clean it (dust it off). Which is correct?

I don't know what they meant by disconnected. Mine has never been unplugged in over a year. I occasional gently dust it. It doesn't really get very dusty.

No. If you are having problems you should try removing all devices from the hub. Then unplug the hub from the computer and shut down the computer. Turn back on and reconnect one device at a time. Mine has problems from time to time. Right now it is unplugged because I was having some issues with it.

Yes it pops off. It will occasionally seep air, just push on it and it will pop in place and usually quit.

If the MAF is giving you a check light on the dash from being dirty than yes I would disconnect to reset the ECU. Other than that it depends on the make and model whether it's recommended. Disconnecting could never hurt though.

If the drive is powered from the computer's USB ports, it will turn off with the computer. If the computer is turned off it's safe to disconnect the drive anyway because there is no data transfer. Any external drive should be safely removed using the Windows icon in the tray if the computer is running.

When you disconnect using the quick disconnect, the light blinks letting you know that the unit is not working. I wouldn't leave it that way for a long period of time as you are just wasting electricity. DO NOT remove clips from batt terminals when it is charging as a slight chance of explosion of hydrogen gasses could occur..

As far as I know, this cover and back are connected. I have not figured out how to disconnect.

I have had no trouble cleaning this device, nor have pieces gotten stuck anywhere. If you buy one, I hope you find the same things.

None - it's USB. From their site: "The user selectable ECO mode removes power to computer peripherals connected to the ECO designated outlets when the UPS detects the computer, connected to the UPS via USB, is turned off or in sleep mode."

There are two tabs to push to unplug. If you don't push them you can ruin the connection plug.

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

I leave mine connected to my laptop most of the time. and when I disconnect it, my laptop is always charged. just because your green light is on on your laptop does not mean you have to disconnect from the charger. its just showing that you can use it w/out the power connected

Have not tried to turn off. Not sure why I would want to? Came on when I turned it on. Set to auto and have not given a thought since. Air in office has never been cleaner. Dust, pollens almost totally elimanated. Just tried it and with unit on, held down for about 3 sec and the plasmawave went off. Pushed power button down again for 3 sec and came back on. All without unit turning off.

This happened to me, hence my returning it and going with another drive.I simply unplugged then replugged the drive's USB cable, which made the drive eject the disc. You can also unplug the drive, put your air to sleep, then, with the air open, replug the drive. Failing that, you can look online at fora discussing this problem - there are commands you can try with your air; i didn't have to, so I can't speak to them.Good luck!

You got it! Can't turn the @#$% thing off once it is connected. Have to shutdown the computer and then unplug it. I plug it in and do a weekly backup, then shutdown and unplug it. A pain, I'd rather just reboot before my backup then eject the thing.

Unplug it (important!!!) and wipe it out with a clean paper towel(s). That's what I do.

I would recommend emptying. Or at least partially. We have softub, and could slip it under, but with difficulty.
