Does it run on batteries or can you plug it in?

it runs on batteries. it didn't come with an adapter, but you can go on the manufacturer's website and purchase one (or sort through the electronics bin at your second-hand store, like we did/check the volatage though, make sure it can handle it). it works pretty well, however our dog food (round and flat) doesn't always feed through. sometimes it stays stacked around the edges, hollows out in the middle, but fairly dependable overall.

It runs on both. 3 batteries size D or DC Power Converter (available on line) but I don't know if you can use both simultaneously. The converter can be useful especially in low temperature situation where batteries can run out really fast or even be ineffective.

It runs on 3 D cell batteries. You can also plug it in but you need to purchase a power adaptor seperately.

Out of the box, it runs on 3 'D' batteries; however, it has a slot for an adapter. Here's a line from the instructions: "Note: DC Power Converter available as an accessory and can be ordered online at www.petmate.com"

I have always used batteries - they last a long, long time. There does appear to be a connection on the back for a charger, but the feeder didn't come with a charger at the time of my purchase. I just checked, and the current item description still recommends 3 D batteries. Hope that helps?

The new models no longer support A/C power. I just confirmed this with Petmate customer service. Only battery power now.

Itmrunsoff of batteries, but there IS a hole for an adapter, it just doesn't come with one. I looked around, and a reviewer purchased this adapter for the feeder: PowerLine 600mA Universal AC Adapter with Compatibility Tips 90303 (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I don't see anything for it to run on batteries. It stays on electric current. It has an AC/DC adaptor.

It can run on just batteries. It actually last a lot longer that I anticipated. This is one of the best investments I have made in the caregiving of my elderly father. I know most people use it for babies but it definitely works well in any caregiving situation!

It plugs in, but has an internal battery that charges in case you want to move it around. Lasts about 6-8 hours on its own in my exp. with it.

Great Question! So sorry though, it doesn't run on batteries. If you are going to use it in a car you need to get a converter that uses the cigarette lighter and provides a plug in. That is what I do when I'm on the road. I use a 110v. They are not expensive to pick up.

It doesn't require batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

This unit is electric and plugs into a regular 110 volt outlet and I don't think it runs on batteries just mainly regular electric power. Have a good day.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but it can be run on batteries or electricity.

I didn't look to see if it ran with batteries. It would be impractical. Get a electrical cord long enough for whatever you plan to use it for.

Runs on batteries. But I wouldn't worry too much. I've used it six months and have not had to replace them yet. It's only on momentarily.

No It does no run on batteries , Has to have 110 outlet, but works great. I wish it was a little more heavy duty (Its shell is Plastic)Hope this helps.

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.

It runs on either 12v power or 4 C batteries. I keep batteries in it but when you plug it in it uses 12v power

No cannot be run on batteries. Yes, small enough I consider a good portable.

No batteries, you have to plug it in. It does work, beautifully, and so energy efficient.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

Mine run on batteries only. It did not come with a "plug in" nor does it have a place for a plug.
