Is the power switch mechanical? OR If the fan was unplugged while on, would it automatically turn on when plugged back in?

Yes to both. It's mechanical and, would in fact, would turn back on if plugged back in.

The fan runs on electricity regardless of it being plugged in or battery powered....both the household outlet and batteries use electricity to power appliances.

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

I replaced an existing fan that had a wall switch. The regular wall switch was replaced with a switch that is illuminated when "ON". This makes sure it's not turn off by mistake. There are time I like the fan off. (For instance when its extremely cold). As far as cleaning goes, I only need to vacuum the cover twice a year and the fan can be on or off.

There is a USB cord attached to the machine. As soon as you plug it into the computer, the fan turns on. I have it on right now and all I can say is Ahhhh!

because it becomes a self-sustaining system. Once the fan turns on, it will maintain +ve pressure to keep the switch turned. You should install it upstream (suction side of fan that you try to control). Careful to not cock the switch if exposed to hi temp.

I just tried it, and YES, you MUST press a button / remote in order to get the fan to turn on. I tuned the fan on, then unplugged it from the wall outlet, and reconnected it to the wall outlet and the fan did NOT turn on.

The fan should come on when plugged in. Return it before it before it over heats and isn't repairable.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

The fan is electric so it does need to be plugged into electric outletl No batteries.

On the model that I have the fan can be turned on seperately, but not by the timer. It must be done manually.

There is not a power switch. The fan is entirely operated by the sun's power only.

It doesn't have an automatic power on/off for sure. The normal power switch that's in that back doesn't really need to be switched off when not in use, no but if you do turn it off it won't be a problem.

Josie, the remote receives it power from the wall switch. When the switch is on, the remote is powered. When the switch is off, the remote is not powered. Therefore, the wall switch must always be in the on position. I did have a problem when I connected both the power leads in the fan/light to the remote. When I use only one of the power leads and capped the other one off, everything started working just fine. Hope this helps.Lee

It does no come with an off/on switch, but you could have one wired in if wanted. they are designed to run continuously. the fan runs quietly, but you can hear it if stand close. Try unplugging and plugging it back in to hear the difference. If you can't hear it, it's not running. You can also feel some slight vibration if you put your hand on the outside of the fan.
