The left pedal doesn't fit. I tried to use it yesterday and eventually it fell off. We haven't reached the point where the display even matters. I can't get the bike to work. We didn't set it up until it was out of the 3-month warranty period (3 kids, busy lives). Then we tried in vain to deal with customer service. Expect to wait one hour before you speak to anyone, I got hung up on various times only to be told, sorry, you are out of the warranty period. It's a joke, they don't care. They have Amazon to pedal their junk and are doing well enough to give the middle finger to customers who complain. I would never buy exercise equipment from anything but a large trusted chain ever again. The left pedal doesn't fit. I tried to use it yesterday and eventually it fell off.

I never used it with batteries. But, I remember when I ordered this item the description said it only rotates with the adapter.

I bought no adapter for it.. What do you need an adapter for, exactly? It just runs off batteries, that I know of.

It can run on batteries, but it comes with a plug in adapter to run off electricity.

The unit does use batteries for backup or operation, however, an AC adaptor is furnished and normally used.

It is just an AC adapter, but will hold batteries. Unfortunately I can't get the CD to spin long enough to hear it play, working on returning it!!

it has to be plugged into an electrical outlet.. it does not work with batteries .. mine is mounted in front of an outlet and you can not see the cord

Yes. MINE CAME WITH AN AC PLUG-IN ADAPTER. I find using batteries to be much easier.

It charges the phone and I have only ever used it through AC outlet but I believe it does not have the option to use it on batteries.

One of the versions does come with AC adapter. There is an other version that operates on battery only.

It comes with the AC adapter. I use this one on my work bench, so I use it plugged in. I have a different one at my desk that is battery powered. Both of them work well.

You can use it both with batteries or pluged into a 9v power source. But there's no AC adapter included !!!

I have used it w/batteries and loved it I haven't tried it w/the adaptor sorry.

No A.C. adapter, batteries only. Mine is in use 10 months now. There is a low battery light. The back of the unit has a recessed cable channel like the idea of an adapter existed at one time.

It doesn't come with an adapter. That has to be bought separately or just run it on batteries.

The Mighty Bright 54810 Hammerhead DEFINITELY will take the AC Adapter. As stated in another review, there is a small "hole-shaped" outlet on the back of the clip that accommodates the adapter. So, yes, it works both on batteries, or with an adapter.
