Can this be easily plugged and unplugged into a power outlet? Can this be treated like a portable device?

It just comes with bare wires so no you can not plug it into a power supply. You could very easily make it portable by purchasing an additional male cigarette lighter power supply plug. The way it comes, no.

Yes , it plugs into the wall outlet (120 volt), you can't use it as a portable battery booster, once its assembled the top of the handle comes up to your waist

No. The unit must be plugged in to an outlet and powered on in order to function.

I hit the return too quickly. The unit is not portable as it is powered by the USB cable, not batteries. You can get a USB to AC power connector. The cable is not very long, but at least it that way it won't be tied to a computer.

Yes, you will be able to use this as if it is plugged directly into the wall. It will not only power it but also charge it slowly while you are using it.

unit is totally portable...but very heavy. We've had no problems charging it and then taking it to a party of soccer field. we do plug it in and use it when in the house.

It has to be plugged in either to the wall or to your computer. There is no battery that can be charged to use it unplugged.

It is powered using an outlet and can be brought anywhere as long as there is an outlet. It's a large speaker, but is very portable.

Yes, It can be plugged into ac power for constant use. This will also keep the battery charged.

Yes it can be and I have. It does need you to plug it into a regular 110 volt outlet. They do make a cordless model but do not know how it works. --bill

We have only used the AC adaptor and we don't have a portable power pack so, I'm sorry I'm really not sure if you can do that.

It is portable in the way that you can use it in many room or take it with you when traveling. It does have a cord so it is not a good solution if you lose power. I think this would be best in an RV or maybe in a hotel. Hope this helps!

Yes, it has a clear spiral cord on the bottom, which can be plugged into a outlet. From what I recall, it could also be hard-wired. Of course, you would need an electrician for that. If you have a outlet nearby, easiest way to go. The cord is about 30" long, stretched, about 35".

No plugged it in my pc. The whole reason I bought it, so I wouldn't have to use outlet. So I can't really answer that question with a yes....

I've never tried to use it unplugged so I don't know. I would think it would work that way because the plug is to power the two USB ports that you can charge things with.

It is not technically a portable unit, but it is fairly light weight and may be able to run from any source of 120VAC. It has a relatively small footprint as desktop printers go.

It can be powered used via usb. But I wouldn't recommend it because it's possible you could burn out the internal battery
