No, it doesnt run on batteries. I will work only when connected to an outlet.

When I put "cordless hairdryer" in the search box, this comes up as the first entry. Very misleading.

This was a gift for my son, and he said it works without being plugged in, with being plugged into an outlet, and it works being plugged into a computer. I hope this helps.

To my knowledge no; this particular model requires the cord to be plugged in in-order to function.

This item does not have an on/off switch. Plugging it in powers it up, and unplugging it powers it down.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Yes, this unit can be used while plugged in, in fact that is the only way my son uses it....he didn't even know that it could be used without being plugged in!

No. It has to be plugged in for use. It is very comfortable and works really good though. You can wrap it around you unlike a traditional heating pad.

Yes, I leave mine plugged in all the time. It stays quite cool when not use.

It does not. It runs constantly when switched on. I have mine remotely controlled by a Lowes IRIS smart plug to start it from my cell phone before I arrive at my beach condo. It seems to be a pretty heavy duty device, however, and I have no hesitation in letting it run for several days in a row without being in attendance.Hope this helps!Don

No. I do have on plugged in to an outlet which is controlled by a light switch; that's handy.

Nope. It charges when it's plugged in, so you can unplug it and it works without a cord. It has an on/off switch to save power when you're not using it while it's not plugged in.

No, it does not. I use it in my office when I am working, so It's never unattended and I always unplug it when done. Possibly the o ly thing that made me hesitant about buying it.

Yes it does! and it also had a switch to turn it on and off without unplugging it! I have had this for a few months and I personally love it.

Yes, it must be plugged in to be used. The good thing is, it won't run out of charge during use.

No, it has to be plugged in for the lights to work. There is a small battery that keeps the clock and programming going if unplugged but it will not turn out without being plugged in.

Not. It does not have that function. I haves to be plugged all the time. that is one disadvantage that this computer haves but It works pretty well, very contemporary design.
