Purchased a new KICKR. Is it necessary to unplug the unit when not using it. If so do you have to perform the spindown each time you do.
I leave my Kickr plugged in but turned off at the wall. I only do a spin down every month or so, or if I move the Kickr or if the temperature changes significantly where I’m training

Same here, turned off when not in use and spin down every few weeks. Always do one before a ramp test.

Sorry for this simple question but when you turn off at the wall you either unplug or have a switched outlet? Ultimately the lights on the unit are off when all said and done correct.
Kickr 2020 doesn’t need a spindown
Mine is a Kickr 2018 so needs a spin down every now and again, as said previously 2020 doesn’t need a spin down. Mine is plugged into a switched power outlet so I leave it plugged in but switched off - all lights off.

I’ve noticed that if I leave my KICKR Core on the next time I do a workout my power levels appear to be off. Even after recalibrating the TrainerRoad workout power intervals felt very light and did not feel like previous workouts. Not sure what would cause that but its happened twice.
