It can be used with 8D batteries instead of plugging it in. It does come with a car and home outlet plug though.

No. It can run on D batteries or with the provided cords for regular 110 volt AC or 12 volt DC.

Doesn't have to be if you have a bunch of D cell batteries. Other option is to use the cigarette lighter adapter that comes with it.

No. Also uses D cell batteries or you can use the car adapter. It has three way power.

It must be plugged in. It doesn't have a battery because it uses too much power for a battery.

It doesn't have to be plugged in while using it. I've had this for a few years. The main downside is the charge doesn't last long at all!

It needs to be charged. I bought a car charger for it and keep it plugged in all the time!

Yes it has to be plugged in. I use a multi plug and then plug that into an outside outlet. It works beautifully after 2 years. I love it. So do the birds!

No, this has to be plugged in. Frankly, though we found one mosquito inside, I would not advise purchasing--a bit too small, really not that effective.

It needs to be plugged in to an outlet to run but there is no on/off button. Once it has power, it is on

By default it needs to be plugged in. I think there are wireless dongles for it also.
