Auto Trickler FX-120 Simple Question...

Yes. I usually leave it unplugged. Especially when I am using my toaster oven to dry brass. If I know I am going to reload that day though, I’ll plug it in and turn it on that way it’s ready to go when I’m done with my brass prep.
Mine is also on a separate bench away from my press.

Mine is always plugged in and turned off but that’s just me. I have a whole house surge protector and probably really anal with good/reputable strip protectors. I never move it and I have a nice custom cover for it when I am not using it.

I always unplug mine then plug it back in about 30 minutes before I want to use it. I try not to move it and it sits on a wall mounted shelf above the reloading bench covered when not in use.
I leave mine plugged in an in place. Sometimes I turn it off. I've know lab equipment to run 24/7 for years, and it's not at risk of being knocked around so I'm not terribly worried about it.
Same, run all power through a line conditioner as well.
I leave mine plugged in and on 24/7 unless there’s a storm coming or in this years case with supplies being scarce I’m not shooting as much or at all so it’s unplugged now.
Plugged in, but off when not in use.
EDIT: It should be noted that I moved from literally the lightning capital of the world to a place that I might hear thunder once every couple years. If I lived anywhere in the Southeast, I would be using a top level surge protector (with insurance) and/or unplugging.

I unplug mine after use. I did move it away from the large magnets inside my AMP annealer too. When I want to use it, I turn it in for about 5 minutes, calibrate with the weight, and carry on. I also use a line conditioner To smooth out that sine wave a bit.
Unplugged and put in a plastic container on a shelf when not in use.
Edit: I don't have an AutoThrow. If I did, I'd just unplug.
